== network logos ==

I just noticed the use of Television network logo's on ]. This is not a Fair Use of the image under the current Fair Use policy of Misplaced Pages. The images should be removed from that page and substituted with the network name. --] (] • ] • ]) 20:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

== TEN idents ==

Between me and Eddie Blake, we had uploaded most of the Network TEN idents on ]. Someone has blanked out the section, is there a way to revert it? It's a lot of work to type the table up again. BTW, nice job on the WP stickeylabel. ~ ] <small>] ]</small> 13:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

== Article collaboration and assessment ==

Partly because it's currently wrapping airing and that I have an interest in it, I've been heavily contributing to ''']''' and thought it could be collaborated on further while information about the show is still available and ripe, before interest wains and information is harder to gather. I've been doing a bit of work on it and would really like to try and get it to a GA or A status somehow, as there are none in Australian Television articles. I think the information there is pretty much all that can be said about the show, besides the sub article for complete list of episodes (currently at work in my ]) and bulking out some of the sections a little, wording it more concisely and adding some primary images. I was wondering how the article could be improved to achieve a higher assessment rating, or if it's already achieved that? As a side, I was wondering if the naming convention is correct, ie. maybe the article should actually be something more like: ''The Biggest Loser (Australian TV series) Season 2'' or ''The Biggest Loser (Australian TV series: Season 2)'' or ''The Biggest Loser 2 (Australian TV series)''. ] 04:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

==Category trawling==
Greetings fellow tv watchers – just found comment at ''Category:Home and Away cast members'' where a vote for change from category to list earlier this year has not been followed up. Wondering if anyone was going to followup on that issue or not. No sweat either way – thought I'd bring it to your attention, cheers ]] 00:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

== News presenter infoboxes ==

I've been browsing and noticed a bit of incosistency between the various news presenter infoboxes (). I'm about to create ones for the ABC and SBS in the same style as ] given that it's the only one using ] – which appears to be the correct one.

Right now I'm working to fix this – I was just wondering if anybody had a particular opinion on it. ] 11:26, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
:Template:ABCNewsPresenters has been created: . I'm currently adding it to each presenter's article.
::Great work TimG, the infoboxes are very consistant, and I'd love to see an SBSNewsPresenters infobox. ] 21:44, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
::SBS's be done: http://en.wikipedia.org/Template:SBSNewsPresenters.

ive added info boxes a while ago for National Nine news presenters, and the today show. ] and ]

== SBS News & Current Affairs ==

Given that all links relating to news and current affairs on SBS in general point to ], I feel that there should probably be a page similar to ] – given that the ABC and SBS are very simmilar, the structure of each section should probably be roughly similar. Does anyone else have thoughts on this? ] 11:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

== News Service Layout ==

:''The discussion has been moved from the ] talk page.''
It was agreed on the ] talk page that these headings were unneccessary and ugly – I'd like to question why they're included here? They don't add to that article and they prevent the proper structure from appearing in the table of contents and they are inconsistent with almost any other article on Misplaced Pages. There's also a number of web accessibility issues that arise from using tables for layout. ] 03:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
:I agree and I also propose an overhaul of news service article's that are covered by ]. I believe the current layout is inconsistent with almost any other article on Misplaced Pages, and I believe that we should set a precedent for all other news service article's to follow. As this issue covers a range of articles for ], I have therefore moved discussion to Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Australian television. ] 04:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
:I think the layout on the articles needs improvement, but so does their content – at the moment many of them are little more than an introductory paragraph and list of presenters – ideally something more like the article for ] – some history and background and then details for each bulletin (ideally stuff about past names, presenters, signifagance, whatever). ] 06:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
::I totally agree, alot of the articles are merely lists and serve little purpose. I think the first task should be to expand the articles, and to cite alot fo the information also. I have worked a bit on the navigation, however it will still need some more work. ] 09:21, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
:Having recently rescued the ] article from being a glorified list of late, it appears that some have begun to add useless presenter details – I'd just like to point out that it's easier to follow when you have meaningful information rather than complicated bullet points.
::Great work TimG, the article is far easier to read, and has much more substance. Also, it's great to see the bulk of lists integrated into actual paragraphs. I have added the article to my watch list, so I can monitor any vandalism. ] 22:48, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

==Episode coverage==
The ] have recently been working on a review process for episode articles. There are a rash of articles about individual episodes which fail ], and are unlikely to ever reach such requirements. Many contributors are unaware of the specific guidelines to assess notability in episode pages: ]. We have expanded these guidelines to make them more helpful and explanatory, and we invite you to read the guidelines, and make any comments on ]. After much discussion, we have created a proposed review process for dealing with problem articles. See: ]. We invite discussion of this process on its ]. General comments about this whole process are welcome at the ]. Thanks! ] 10:13, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

:] is a candidate to be the ]. Please comment on the ].] 09:40, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

== Ten News articles ==

I'm a little confused as to why there are three articles for Ten News – the ], ] and ]. None of the other Australian stations have individual articles for each bulletin, and Ten News isn't particularly distinctive or different, not enough to warrant a totally different structure of article.

I think the main one needs to be the focus moreso than seperate ones for each bulletin. I would do the whole propose-to-merge-and-discuss-it thing but I'm not sure how. What are others' thoughts?] 04:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
:I totally agree ], I have now merged ] and ] into ]. Each bulletin does not deserve a seperate article. ] 06:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

:Hmm, it needs a bit of attention (it's lacking a bit content-wise). I'll try and add some more info over the next few days. ] 09:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

== ] ==

May I please request that all members of the WikiProject join the collaboration at ], in order to expand the article, and raise it to a GA standard. Thanks. ] 06:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

== Optus Aurora ==

I was about to start an article on it but noticed it had been deleted – why? I can see there is an article for ] which to be honest confuses me since I can't really tell what it's actually about. It says that Optus Aurora is the ''platform'' although they appear to be the same.

I'm inclined to go with Optus Aurora though because of this description on Optus' website:

''The Optus Aurora system provides transmission of free–to-air services for the national broadcasters, remote area commercial broadcasters, business television providers, radio broadcasters and audio narrowcasters. Reception of the services can be direct to home (DTH) or direct to business (DTB) via a satellite dish, set top box and Optus Aurora smartcard, or via retransmission facilities using terrestrial transmitters for broadcast to TV's.

''The Optus Aurora system is designed to operate in an encrypted format, making use of smartcards, within the set top boxes, to decrypt the services applicable to the entitlements on the particular smartcard, held by the set top box. There are a few special instances where a small number of Aurora services are transmitted without encryption, allowing reception without a smartcard, but in general an official Optus Aurora smartcard is required for correct operation.''

I think it would be correct to say that it's more ''a part of'' RABS, than the same thing.

Anyway, what are people's thoughts on creating thise article? I think it's pretty important since it's the only way for a lot of Australians to receive television.] 05:23, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
:I agree Tim, in my opinion just create the article at ], and delete the ] article, as in my opinion an Optus Aurora article would be more appropriate. I am not sure why it was initally deleted though. ] 05:38, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

== Research links ==

Since there doesn't seem to be huge amounts of info I thought I'd start a list here of sites that might help with respect to researching and referencing stuff in Australian TV articles. The following sites might be of use:

* http://www.austvhistory.com
* http://televisionau.siv.net.au
* http://www.abc.net.au/wa/tv/history.htm < I'll do something with this too.
* http://www.abc.net.au/corp
* http://www20.sbs.com.au/sbscorporate/index.php?id=
* http://www.sevencorporate.com.au/
* http://news.ninemsn.com.au/presenters/ < oddly enough includes SA/WA info too
* http://www.ketupa.net/seven.htm < there are also other network profiles if you dig hard enough
* http://www.imparja.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=36&Itemid=49
* http://www.abc.net.au/news/tags/media
* http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/index/0,20671,7582,00.html

There are a few others I've probably forgotten.

And another thing, how come all the articles for the various ABC regions (eg ] have been merged with the respective capital city articles? There's a lot more to them than just the ABC TV stations – local radio for one, and there are quite a few of those. The ABC themselves tend to detail their history in terms of radio and television rather than just one or the other, so it would be good to dem-merge those articles. ] 02:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I have added a framework for the article, however it is still minimal and other sections could be added. I have created a discussion section at ]. ] 13:17, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

== Categories ==

If you go down to "Categories" on the WikiProject Australian television page, you'll see that clicking on "Australian television series" reveals five categories. Is there any plausible reason why should have its own sub-category? Although there may be more than one page on Farscape, it doesn't mean that it should be elevated to the same level as other sub-categories which are clearly of a different nature (e.g. Australian television series by genre), surely? ] 08:46, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

== Current programming schedules? ==

I have noticed contain listing of the current programming schedules. Should they really be included? According to ] they shouldn't be. I'm not familiar with the Aus TV project so I bought it up here first rather than just barge in. ] (]) 08:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

:(delayed reaction) I agree with you. I have started a discussion about this at ]. Anyone with an opinion about this should go there and express their opinion. In lack of any dissenting opinions, I am going to remove the schedules from Australian TV network articles per ]. – ] 02:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

== Centralized TV Episode Discussion ==

Over the past months, TV episodes have been redirected by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here . Even if you have not, other opinions are needed because this issue is affecting all TV episodes in Misplaced Pages. --] (]) 02:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of ], and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at ]. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. ] is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

== Home and Away character article sourcing ==

The following is a copy of what I've posted on ]:

Further up on this page in April I signalled that I had tagged a gazillion Home and Away character articles as being unreferenced, and that if reliable sources weren't given for them, there would be mass deletions in the near future. Well, I've just gone through the ones I tagged and haven't found more than a couple of random references given for them in the 5 months (or more) they have been tagged, so I have removed all unreferenced material. Any material which gets added to them in future without a reliable source given as a reference will get reverted by me. According to the ] policy, "any material challenged... should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation" and "the burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material".

My concern with these articles is that they have become places for fans to publish their own analyses and synthesis based upon one primary source (the show). This is pretty blatant violation of the ] rule. – ] 02:10, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

== Unreferenced BLPs ==

G'day TV fans, I'm not sure if you're aware of the issues surrounding unreferenced BLPs over the past 6 or so weeks, but we've been working through a list of over Australian 2000 unreferenced biographies of living people and we are down to under 500 – but almost 200 of them are actors – heaps from the Aussie soaps. Can someone from this project please assist in providing sources for these articles, or else there is a risk that they will be deleted. Have a look ] for the list. We've had people working hard on politician, sportsmen and musicians but actors have been left behind a bit. Thanks ] (]) 11:56, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

==Virginia Hey needs attention==

There are enough articles on her, not to mention material related to Farscape, to provide reputable sourcing.

== Updates to TV#MOS ==

I'm not sure how many people monitor ] or even ] (the basic WikiProject for all of us), but we've been trying to get some feedback on additions to the TV Manual of Style. It largely has to do with the inclusion of "Overview" tables at the start of the page, the order in which season lists are presented (currently, there is no concrete order), and what is considered ''too much'' info for DVDs (i.e. should we be placing every detail about the box set in the article, from each interview to the aspect ratio, or should be keep it more generalized).

We would like to ask you to review the . Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (&diams;) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at ''']''' with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at ]. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as ] and to extend the reach of Misplaced Pages worldwide.

== Please ensure that articles on TV shows show SD or HD correctly in the infobox. ==

I've noticed countless errors in articles relating to Australian TV shows. Almost all of them list two formats: 576i and 1080i (HD). In most cases, this is incorrect. The resolutions listed in the infoboxes refer to *broadcast* resolutions, so while most Australian TV shows may be produced in HD, they are almost all only broadcast in SD. This is because 7, 9, and 10 are all SD-only channels, and have been for several years. HD content is only shown on GEM, 7Mate, and One HD. As such, probably 90% of Australian TV shows are only broadcast in SD. Please ensure that when creating new articles, the correct format is listed. Also, If a show is SD only, then it will only be in stereo, and not Dolby Digital.] (]) 13:19, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
:Another important note: if a show was broadcast in HD in Australia, then listing *only* Dolby Digital is incorrect. Unlike the USA, where Dolby Digital is the only sound format used with digital TV (regardless of SD/HD), in Australia, Dolby Digital is only used in HD broadcasts. SD broadcasts use a different format, stereo only. So both stereo and Dolby Digital must be listed.] (]) 06:00, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

== Leaflet for Wikiproject Australian Television at Wikimania 2014 ==

]
Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

Would some others mind taking a look at Christian Manon? I stumbled across while checking on some recent file uploads, and it appears that it's been edited by the subject himself numerous times over the years, the last being this from a few months back. The article might've also created by the subject back in 2006 using the account Christian Manon. Anyway, I tried Googling the name and didn't really get any hits that show WP:GNG or even WP:NACTOR. Some primary sources show up, but not really any secondary ones. The article was AfD already once in 2006, but it doesn't seemed to have really improved since then. I thought about adding {{Notability}} to the top of the article, but not sure if there's a point after all these years. I did some minor clean up, added an infobox photo and added a citation, but it seems like there might just be too much to WP:OVERCOME. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
