Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (American game show), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 14:03, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (American game show), you may be blocked from editing. – BrickMaster02 (talk) 16:36, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited HLN (TV network), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thomas Roberts. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Jill Wagner, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that.

Your submission at Articles for creation: List of longest-serving American game show/reality competition hosts (current) (January 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs more external news articles about comparing longest tenures. Notice there isn't even a list of longest-running talk show hosts.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:List of longest-serving American game show/reality competition hosts (current) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Age templates

Please don't change the birth date templates for missing persons. Articles do not contain conjecture or supposition, they should only include what is verified to be true. In missing persons cases, the age at disappearance is what is included in the infobox, not the age the person would be if they were still alive. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:09, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Nomination of Disappearance of Jeffrey Zoltowski for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Disappearance of Jeffrey Zoltowski is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Disappearance of Jeffrey Zoltowski until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:44, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

I would like to learn more about why this article is being considered for deletion. This is the only article I've created where I have had this issue. I think the fact that Zoltowski disappeared while on vacation in what appears to be a hiking trip gone wrong seems notable (at least to some degree) plus there was a reported sighting of him in Hawaii in 2001 which is also an important fact. TheJay123 (talk) 17:00, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Disappearance of Jeffrey Zoltowski and make your points there. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 18:03, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jack Rader (actor)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jack Rader (actor) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Fram (talk) 11:15, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Unsourced renewals

I've been noticed that on 2024–25 United States network television schedule. None of the recent edits of renewals of the ABC is sourced despite claiming it was sourced. I checked out TVLine and there is no information on the ABC shows that are said to be renewed today. BattleshipMan (talk) 17:49, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

I have noticed that as well. I was not the one who added that information, it was an unregistered user, so I attempted to undo it but was unsuccessful. TheJay123 (talk) 17:52, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

I know that. I warned that user and I requested page protection on it. You may have to remove what was put on there manually. BattleshipMan (talk) 17:57, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

The unregistered user keeps adding unsourced information with either very old sources or no sources at all. If this continues, the unregistered user's IP address may have to be blocked. It is difficult for me to undo information when the other user keeps adding useless content. TheJay123 (talk) 18:05, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

I already removed them, but then the user keeps readding them. BattleshipMan (talk) 18:22, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

I say we block the unregistered user, or at the very least issue a final warning. His disruptive editing is starting to get annoying and I think it needs to stop immediately. TheJay123 (talk) 18:22, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Ken Jennings on Millionaire

I don't think he split the money with Matt Damon because they were both playing for the same charity Water.org. So I would count it as a whole $1 million on American game show winnings records.And1987 (talk) 02:15, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Come to think of it, I think you're right since they both played for the same charity. Let's count it then as a $1 million win for Jennings. TheJay123 (talk) 02:20, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Wheel of Fortune

The Wheel of Fortune page does not need a list of every big win or loss, especially not with the grand total, puzzle lost or won on, and especially not sourced to unofficial fan sites or YouTube compilations. Please read WP:NOTSTATS. Information of this sort is more suitable for the Wheel of Fortune History fan wiki. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:46, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

Notice of administrators' noticeboard incidents discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:03, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello! May I know what the issue is relating to? I did not think that posting the big wins and losses of Wheel of Fortune was an issue (at the time that I did it), however, I know now that is not suitable for Wikipedia, so it will not happen again. TheJay123 (talk) 02:11, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

@TheJay123: The issues were:

• using Wikipedia as a repository of statistics; that is, to list every detail about everything. What puzzle was solved when a contestant set a winnings record is not encyclopedically relevant. The biggest "loss" on a show is not relevant either, as it is not usually a noteworthy fact about a competition. It would be like listing all the songs that peaked at #100 on the Hot 100.
• adding information that cannot be verified, or information for which you have not provided a source at all; sourcing is important, because it means that another editor or reader can check the source to determine that the article is accurate
• using sources that are not reliable by the standards of Wikipedia, such as unofficial YouTube reuploads of episodes, unofficial fan blogs, LinkedIn profiles, social media, etc. Information should be verified by third-party sources, such as newspapers, magazines, journals, reputable websites with credited editorial staff, and so on.
• synthesizing implied conclusions from sources, instead of facts; that is, drawing your own conclusions from sources instead of using the source to support a fact ("let's count it then as a $1 million win for Jennings")

In short, please make sure you're adding content that is verifiable and relevant.

I am surprised that you have been editing since 2020, yet still seem to have difficulty with understanding what kind of content should go into a Wikipedia article even after a talk page full of warnings. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:49, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Wheel of Fortune

I believe I've told you before. Wikipedia is not a list of statistics, and YouTube videos are not reliable sources. Please do not reinstate information about the show's top winners. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:56, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Fair enough. I do have a question however: What makes Wheel of Fortune's statistics different than that of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? They have a list of top prize winners on their page and that was part of the reason why I decided to put stats on Wheel of Fortune's page. I was just curious. TheJay123 (talk) 11:11, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

For one, Millionaire has always had its top prize right there in the title, so it makes more sense to indicate who's won it or anything higher. I don't think it should be as detailed as it is now, but that can be taken care of on its own merits. I'm not a fan of Millionaire so I've never bothered to touch that article.

Wheel has never had a singular top prize as the ultimate goal. A sentence or two indicating the winnings record set yesterday, using something like this as a source, should be fine. Something like The show's top prize of $1,000,000 has been awarded four times on the syndicated version, and once on the celebrity version. Among the winners was Christina Derevjanik, who on September 30, 2025 set the show's all-time winnings record of $1,035,155.

Also, including what puzzle they won on is unnecessary information that has no encyclopedic bearing. The Millionaire article doesn't include what questions the contestants won on, as an example. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:07, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Just wanted to follow up. What you added now looks better and gives sufficient information without including too much or a bad source. Only other thing is please put footnotes after punctuation marks, not before. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 20:12, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Defining what does and doesn't qualify as a "game show"

Hello, I'm Belbury, and welcome to Wikipedia. I appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Game show, it appears that you added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Belbury (talk) 20:42, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

I have never seen any other show use the "production timeline"s you're adding. They seem like indiscriminate info that's already sufficiently verified elsewhere in the article. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 14:46, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

I had done that with the intention of making the information easier to read, but if it is in fact indiscriminate info, then it can be removed. TheGameShowFan123 (talk) 18:23, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
