replies: text: Probably not, because the two were so closely related.  But if you can produce a full article with encyclopedic style, without junk filler, please go ahead.  Since this is a short article anyway, I would suggest that they be kept together. --Bejnar 14:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Mr. Wizard's World

message: On 13 June Sumnjim deleted from the "Parodies" section the line:
:*"Mr. Egghead" a.k.a Joey Gladestone from Full House
:saying "I'd like a source to back up that claim. Just because a character is a silly person doing science experiments does not mean that they are trying to parody Mr. Wizard."
::I agree with Sumnjim's statement, but not its application in this instance, because there is more than just a silly person, namely the experimenter holds themselves out as being a scientist with a descriptive name like Mr. Wizard.  I think that the appropriate request is not in a history note coupled with deletion, but a request in the article for a source using the fact template. I would suggest that the source not be original research, but reflect a published text that discusses "Mr. Egghead" as a paraody on "Mr. Wizard". --Bejnar 14:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *Personally, I believe that to be Original Research and since it is policy to not have in wiki, I deleted it, and I want a source before it's re-added. --sumnjim talk with me·changes 14:50, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

text: *If we are going to go that far, (which technically I agree with you removing all WP:OR, and without sources it must be, I completely removed the "Parodies" section as the remaining text left Watch Mr Wizard has been parodied many times is also WP:OR without sources, and without sources, it does not need to be there.  I tried to get some sources from this yesterday...I found some info on "Mr Whizzer" from Chip and Dale, but I could never get a background on the character, only that Billy West was the voice actor, and his page does not mention any specifics on the character, and since I haven't seen the show in....well a long time, I have no idea exactly what his character does.  I am very familiar with Mr. Egghead from Full House as that show is still very vivid in my mind, and I whole-heartedly disagree that he is a parody of Mr. Wizard.  I am leaning that all other "parodies" that were listed were not parodies either.  If any sources at all come about to disprove me, then we can re-expand the article to relist them.  I am definitely not against that.  --sumnjim talk with me·changes 15:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

message: In this edit, I cut the following phrase from the lede because it inappropriately states as a fact an idea that represents one person's opinion: 
At least an earlier version here attempts to make the distinction:  However, I'm not even sure the opinion is warranted in the lede considering there's no context for us to understand who the quoted person is or why she's an expert, and the lede isn't typically where you'd find effusive praise.
