Underbelly (TV series) and TV shows in generalUnderbelly uses Template:Infobox Television. The template instructions state that the the figure used in the field "num_episodes" is "The number of episodes currently produced" and not the number of episodes that have aired. If you find other articles where somebody has mistakenly used the number of episodes that have aired you can help by correcting them. --AussieLegend (talk) 12:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC) Perhaps the people editing articles like LOST haven't read the template instructions. A lot don't. They just assume. --AussieLegend (talk) 12:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC) What I "think" isn't really the issue. The instructions for the template are quite clear. The correct value for "num_episodes" is "The number of episodes currently produced". Have you read the instructions? --AussieLegend (talk) 15:01, 29 February 2008 (UTC) As I said, perhaps the editors of those articles haven't read the instructions or they maybe they don't actually know how many episodes have been produced. --AussieLegend (talk) 02:23, 1 March 2008 (UTC) Well, the summaries probably still aren't complete as there's an argument for including some more about what the police characters do, but they're better than what they were. --BrianFG (talk) 07:04, 10 May 2008 (UTC) Veronica Mars failed GA nominationYo, unfortunately Veronica Mars does not meet the Good article criteria at this time, for reasons stated on the talkpage.

TV boxWe generally go by what has "aired", as that shows what was produced. Obviously, there is a difference, because shows produce episodes before they actually air, and they may produce one that never airs. Basically, we update per what airs - that's been the standard practice for a long while. Although, if you have a source that says a show produced 145 episodes in its original run, but only aired 144, then I would say 145 episodes and put the source (with an explaination) with that number.

Discography listingPlease use the correct "wikitable" format when creating charts tables or discography tables. There shouldn't be any extra coloring, boldfacing or fonts put into these.... you can see WP:CHARTS for the basic format. Thanks. - eo (talk) 15:11, 7 March 2008 (UTC) Re: Christina MilianHi, album covers are only allowed in album articles unless there's critical commentary of the cover. It was removed from the article for the same reason that album covers aren't allowed in discographies - see WP:FU#Unacceptable use. Unfree pics can't be used decoratively. Even if a fair use rationale was added, it would've been invalid. Spellcast (talk) 13:22, 9 March 2008 (UTC) TempestIn case you didn't save the sandbox on your watchlist, I put in the the production info from the book.

Have you tried requesting a peer review from the volunteers list? Another idea you might want to try is to review someone else's request (particularly one from the list of requests without responses), then ask that they look at your request.

Hello!
Milian image fair use rationaleHi Cornucopia. Sorry to disappoint you but I don't believe you can claim fair use on an album cover to illustrate a person. If you carefully read the template you've used, it says that the fair use can only be claimed for the recording in question, so I don't think you can use this image in her article. Have a look around on Wikimedia Commons or see if a Flickr user has an image they'd be prepared to release with the appropriate Commons licence? Sorry I can't help further.

But "Adamdeanhall" or something does not want the truth to be known, and has (judging from his or her talk page) had a history of accusing people of vandalism, unreasonable edits and such. I was wondering if you know if there is anything we can do about this to prevent future POV or unreasonable edits. I might contact someone else too. Yojimbo501 (talk) 19:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC) Yeah, I saw your message (which "Adam" deserved) and think it's unreasonable that he is unjustly accusing people of vandalism and such. He didn't even leave a reason why he undid the edits. If you would put the cite up for disscusion on the episodes list talk page, I will go by some time and leave a comment. Thanks for responding. Yojimbo501 (talk) 03:27, 26 April 2008 (UTC) Has this whole thing been resolved?I noticed on AdamDeanHalls talk page you put a section which said Thank you for considering our point of view. Does that mean there is no point pursuing the whole Remember number of episodes problem? Has it been resolved? Well, if it has, it hasbeen nice doing buisness with you. Yojimbo501 (talk) 16:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC) 30 RockThanks for volenteering to help. I think we should start with the prose and references. -- Jamie jca (talk) 17:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
The Rural JurorYeah, its pretty good but each section needs to be in paragraph form rather than bullets. Have a look at Pilot (30 Rock) or SeinfeldVision for a guideline. Also, use {{Cite web}} (for reviews) and {{Cite news}} (for news sources) for your references. You will also need some production information. Instances of The Rural Juror, when refaring to the film NOT the episode, should be in italics. Style the lead after the above mentioned episodes articles. A plot section will be needed of no more than 220 words (10 words per minute of duration). If you can't be bothered going through the episode for continuity, thats okay. I'll write the awards section for you once it's been moved to the mainspace, I can also add a screenshot. Also, try and use notable critics for reviews, the rule I use personally is that if the site the review is hosted on doesn't have a wikipedia pagem or it's user generated, it's not notable. Thanks for helping with the 30 Rock articles. -- Jamie jca (talk) 22:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I left comments at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Moonlight episodes a few days ago. I was just wondering if you had realized, as List of Moonlight episodes hasn't changed, or whether you are unable to follow through with the FLC. Regards, Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 06:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC) KaraI don't think so. It was very brief, barely making a dent in the overall story of the show. It was only a couple of episodes long, and never a whole episode by itself. It's probably more important in Jimmy's section, as it somewhat affected his relationship with Chloe. It really did nothing for Kara. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
A table would take up a lot of space in the article, and be slightly out of place with all the rest of the article. I was thinking of using the two column structure, similar to how Arrested Development has their guest list. That's a rather extensive list that only really comprises about 5 kb of space.

I've taken a quick look and to be honest there are still several problems. I've fixed a couple, but need more time to review it again.

And also, when you have a chance, could you sign my shoutbox and guestbook? I just thought I'd fill you in on a little about me.
So tell me a little about yourself. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 13:35, 18 July 2008 (UTC) You're Bignole's friend too? That's nice. And you're from the outback? That's even cooler! I adore guys w/ Aussie accents! I also saw that one of your userboxes said you are 21. So now I know your age! :) --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 13:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC) Well when I said the outback, I meant Austrailia. Do you live in Sydney? I lve in a suburb near the area of Boston, Massachusetts. And also, could you give me the task today? It justs works better for my schedule. Like now, would be a good time. :) --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:56, 18 July 2008 (UTC) Thanks for shouting! But you know you didn't literally have to shout. As you can see, everyone else just wrote comments! :) I can't wait for the World Cup either! The Olympics too! So excited! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 15:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC) Uhhh...what does GA mean? I mean, if I don't know what it means, I think it's too hard. (NOTE: I'm not exactly the most experinced Wiki editor.) --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 15:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC) Ok. That seems fair. I'll do my best! And I have a rule. If someone gives me a barnstar, I'll give them one. So be prepared! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 15:17, 18 July 2008 (UTC) Here have a cookie!Soccer5525 has given you a cookie! Cookies promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better.

Um well, Cornucopia, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I was wondering if you could maybe change the number of edits I have to make from 250, to 150. Since it is the summertime, I'll be pretty busy with vacations and parties and various other things, and before you know it, school will start and my schedule will be jam packed. It'll take me maybe months to get to that point, and I'll probably even forget about it soon! Can you understand my situation? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:42, 19 July 2008 (UTC) Thanks for pointing that out. Earlier I was changing the font of my signature, so I probably messed it up somehow. Lemme go fix it. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC) Does it work now? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:51, 19 July 2008 (UTC) Yep, it works. And thanks for reducing the number to 150. I hope you understand where I'm coming from. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:52, 19 July 2008 (UTC) lol. Groovy! IDK that last time I heard someone say that! well except in Austin Powers; "Groovy baby!" --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 15:00, 19 July 2008 (UTC) i have a quickie question about the barnstar you're gonna give me. what kind of barnstar is it? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 15:02, 19 July 2008 (UTC) i dunno. what kind of barnstar do you think i should get? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 15:08, 19 July 2008 (UTC) Sorry, but I gotta go. I TTYL! Bye! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 15:10, 19 July 2008 (UTC) Re my unusual familial relationshipsLol, you're absolutely right - I hadn't noticed that before. I wonder how that would work exactly? Thanks for pointing it out, though - I'd better rethink that sentence :P EyeSerenetalk 14:14, 23 July 2008 (UTC) DYK 24/7weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 10:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC) my new storyHi Cornucopia. I'm in the begining of writing a new story, (i want to be an author or a photographer!) and thought I should show you what I've written so far. Please give my your honest opinon. I really need the critiscm, so I can take it in and use it. Thanks! And remember, this is just what I got so far. There's more to the story! Here it is: It happened on Saturday, December 8th of last year. I’ll never forget it, for two reasons. One, it was the day that ruined my life. And two, it was all my fault. It was just about lunchtime, and my Mom was cooking me some mac n’ cheese, which is about the only thing she did cook for me since she had terrible culinary skills. I was parked in front of our bay window in our living room, watching the snow fall as I sat on the window seat, petting my pet dog, Jupiter. Just as Jupiter was starting to drift off into a weary sleep, there was a loud crackling sound coming from the kitchen. I stuck my nose in the air, smelling a smokey aroma that I knew had to be coming from the kitchen. Just as Mom said a sware word, the smoke alarm went off. “Mom?” I shouted. “Do you need me to get the fire extinguisher?” Usually when Mom cooked, she burnt everything. So it was routine for me to have to jump up and get the fire extinguisher. Then Mom would put out the fire, and we’d end up ordering Taiwanese food or hoagies for lunch, and Dad would have the leftovers for dinner when he got home from work. But this was different. So I just continued on staring at the sparkling snow, figuring everything was fine. But my heart was still worried. “Mom? Are you sure everything’s okay?” I asked again. But there was no answer; only the sizzling sound of the mac n’ cheese was coming from the kitchen. Curiously, I got up and went into the kitchen to see why Mom didn’t need any help. Probably just a false alarm, I thought. But I was soon to be proven wrong. When I walked into the kitchen, I was in utter horror. My eyes could not believe what I was seeing. It was so unreal. There was Mom, lying on the floor. Her face blue, her eyes open, and her mouth was open too. Wide open. As if she was screaming. One of her hands was across her neck, almost holding on, but with a loose grip. Her other arm was laying on the kitchen floor tiles, as were her legs. But in her other hand, was the mixing spoon that Mom was using for the mac n’ cheese. It was covered in burnt liquid cheese, that was crusted onto the spoon. . “Mom?” I asked nervously. “M-m-m-om?” Tears started rolling down my cheeks. I knelt down to check her pulse. Nothing. Not even the faintest beat of life. “Mom, say something!” I screamed sadly. “Please! Wake up! Wake up M-mom!” I jumped up, grabbed the phone, tried to decide who to call for help first: Dad, or 911? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 19:53, 24 July 2008 (UTC) Wow, I didn't think you'd like it so much! Thanks! I haven't showed it to Erik or Bignole yet, but Erik's been pretty busy so I wouldn't know if he'd reply. And about that sentence, I said culinary so I wouldn't have to keep saying cooking over and over again. I just thought I should spice it up a bit with some more vivid words. Here's the continuation of the story: I figured that the police should be notified first, so they can bring an ambulance over. I pressed the three numbers I had hoped I’d never had to call. And when the dispatcher answered, I panicked. “911 hotline, what is your emergency?” They asked. “Help! I need h-h-help! My Mom, and she’s, the mac n’ cheese! I dunno why she’s blue! I a-a-asked if she n-needed a fire extinguisher and-” “Ok, ok miss. Please calm down and explain what happened.” “I can’t! I don’t know what happened!” “Well tell me your name and address.” “My n-n-name is Delilah Schwartz, and I live on Primrose Boulevard! My Mom is blue! I need help! Please! This is scary!! Help!” And then I hung up. I quickly glanced back at Mom. Now Jupiter was licking the spoon in her hand. At this point I didn’t care what that dog was doing. Quickly, I dialed Dad’s work number. I would’ve called his cell phone, but he doesn’t have one ever since Jupiter chewed it up. Hopefully he would be there, unless he was busy. And as I waited, I started panting from fear. “Hello, Schwartz and Co. Carpeting Services, this is Pam.” The secretary said. “Hi this is Mr. Schwartz’s daughter, I need to talk to him now! It’s an emergency!” I rapidly yelled. “Delilah? Is everything alright?” “No! Just put me through!” “Alright then!” Then Pam hung up, and Dad’s phone started to ring. I was completely annoyed with Pam, for wasting so much time with asking me questions. Didn’t she realize I was in need of my own Dad’s help? “Hello, Brian Schwartz speaking.” Dad said. “Dad, you need to come here right now! Mom isn’t breathing, and she’s blue! Help me!” “Delilah? I’m sorry, I can’t understand you! Slow down! What’s wrong with Mom?” “I don’t know! Just come home! NOW!” And then I hung up. Since I couldn’t just sit there and wait for help to come, I had to take matters into my own hands. Using my CPR skills from a babysitting class I took the previous year, I starting using that maneuver on my Mom. But nothing worked. Suddenly, I heard the sound of sirens. It was the ambulance, finally. So I rushed out the front door, to show the police what happened. “Help!” I cried. “My Mom isn’t breathing! You have to do something!” Well, I thought it should be a chapter book, where it goes through Delilah's life growing up. How does that sound? And here's the continuation: But all the police officers and medical workers just ran right past me, barging into our house. “Hey!” I called. “Wait!” I tried running to catch up to all of them, but someone stopped me. A big police officer, which I assumed was the chief, grabbed me from behind, and turned me around so I could walk with him. “Miss, you’re coming with me.” He said. “No! B-b-but my Mom!” “Don’t worry little one, she’s gonna be alright.” Then the man put me in the police cruiser, and started driving away. The last thing I saw when we pulled down the street, was a body being a wheeled into the ambulance on one of those beds. The body was covered in plastic material, so I couldn’t see much of anything. But I knew, that it was Mom. The next thing I knew, I was sitting in the hospital waiting room with my Dad. He was just sitting there, staring off into space, without any emotion at all. I tried to get my mind off of things by reading the magazines they had, “Good Housekeeping”, “Marie Claire”, “GQ” and “Woman’s World”. But I couldn’t help but think about what was happening in that emergency room. Would the police chief be right, and everything would be okay? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:47, 25 July 2008 (UTC) Re: BarnstarThanks for the Barnstar. I look forward to improving The Prestige with your help. Viriditas (talk) 00:32, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I DID IT!!Hi Corn. I finally made it to 150! Yes! I can't wait for my barnstar! Please give it to me before Friday, because that's when I'm going on vacation.
