message: This is the second time in 24h that the plot description put on Wikipedia came from a copyrighted source, this time from CBS as seen here: http://www.observer.com/2008/week-dvr-take-dip-poul-sleazy-swinging-70s-style-cbs
So... write something original and not copypasta. Guroadrunner (talk) 02:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Write an original plot description

message: Anyone else think the line about people calling into KNOE should be removed? I haven't been able to find any credible source online verifying that people called in and KNOE even plugs the show on their website here. casecloser (talk) 22:26, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I even searched newspaper and magazine databases for that one, and only found the campaigns that I've since added. (BTW, if the show goes on long enough to deserve a more substantial article, it may become appropriate to move the details on these scant protests out of the lead paragraphs. It'll be interesting to see if the writer's strike-spurred delay of the show until summer ends up paying off for the network by letting the show get a different reception.)

thread_title:  KNOE 

message: See the last paragraphs of this article, where it seems to suggest that only the pilot was filmed in Austin, Texas, with future shooting to be L.A. and Chicago. (Watch us Texans frown.) If this point can be confirmed, we need to update the article to reflect that the pilot was filmed in Austin, but the series is done in L.A. Lawikitejana (talk) 15:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Was the Austin filming a one-off? 

message: Should it be mentioned that this show is based on real events in that area and era? Even some of the character names are the same as the real people involved. I grew up about a block from Mike Kelley and was surprised to see that he didn't completely change all the names. I wonder if any of the people involved back then will try for a lawsuit. The names are close enough.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.72.181.50 (talk) 15:10, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's based on true stories?  How can a pilot who makes less than 200,000$ (most pilots for jet airlines today make around 130,000$) live in a million dollar mansion (in today's value) with a retired flight attendant (possible multi-million?)?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.226.205.103 (talk) 01:06, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

text: The show is based on true events and real people, and the names of the characters portraying those real people have only been slightly changed (in some cases, only the first name). I spent my childhood around these people.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.72.181.50 (talk) 18:38, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The disambig link to the Steve Miller song of the same name was removed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Swingtown&diff=next&oldid=226828897. Was this a mistake, or was there good reason?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.237.129 (talk) 16:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
