Talk:Jeopardy (disambiguation)

message: The name of the show has the exclamation point, so the article should be under that title with a redirect (or disambiguation page) here.  I think that's Wikipedia naming convention, and it's certainly common sense. -- isis 05:14 Dec 11, 2002 (UTC)

:::Most people looking up Jeopardy are looking for the game show. I'm going to have the title go to the game show with a disambiguation page. Theshibboleth 03:41, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Most people in THE UNITED STATES are looking for the game show. A disambiguation page here is the most neutral point of view. Do not take a short sighted view of things, which is sadly typical of my fellow Americans. Assuming that the American version of anything it what most people among the billions in the world are searching for clearly violates the WP:NPOV guidelines, specifically violating the Nationalistic bias point and additionaly violates most of the points listed at WP:CSB - simply put the American point of view is not a netutral point of view. The article as it stands now violates WP:NPOV as it seems to assume that people know at least what the show is and have at least seen it. The replaced redirect, as much of Wikipedia does, has an American bias, which the editors of this article and related articles simply don't even see they have. Theshibboleth and others who assume that most people would search for the American game show Jeopardy! simply proves this unspoken default bias. Given the chance, the bias needs to be removed as it will not only make Wikipedia have more of a neutral point of view, but may even educate Americans that our country is one of many and we have to get along with people from other places. One step towards greater global peace and understaning is to be more inclusive and take the chance to educate. The American user should find the disambguation list of The Price Is Right, as it will be the most neutral option and will remind them that there are things outside of the United States, something that is really needed, now more than ever.

message: #Oppose The BBC show is still running syndication and DVD sales. While the US TV show is certainly popular, it is non the less a US-centric bias primary. I honestly think that the legal concept of Jeopardy is the one universial primary but amazingly we only seem to have an article on Double Jeopardy. 205.157.110.11 13:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I cannot find a source indicating In Jeopardy only refers to being tagged out. Both from usage I've heard it in and confirming the definition with the MLB rule book's glossary of terms, it refers to any put out. To quote directly:  I'm fine changing my language as it was phrased oddly, but I do believe that the term applies to more than just a tag out. TartarTorte 13:24, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I had never heard of this "putout" term before this morning, so I thought it was a mistake. Since it's likely others also don't know this term can we just say "not safely on base" as I just edited? It's best to keep descriptions on these pages as non-technical as we can so people are able to just quickly find the article they want and get all the details in the article. -- Fyrael (talk) 13:29, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Your new language works great! Both accurate and not heavily technical. Thanks :) TartarTorte 13:32, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

text: "Not safely on base" seems more accurate on top of being less technical, so that's perfect. In jeopardy now redirects to this page as well. The only thing left here is that the "in jeopardy" definition seems out of place on tag out and would probably be more at home on Out (baseball) and/or Base running.
