[edit] Major winner tables

I think all Academy Award articles should have their "major winner tables" reformatted like the one in this article. I already had fixed it for the 75th and 76th Academy Awards' articles.Birdienest81 (talk) 19:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I did that reformatting. I am curious why you made the above post ... why did you want all the others reformatted in the way that I reformatted this one? I am just curious. I assume that you like my formatting better --- but, what specifically is it that you prefer? Thanks. Please let me know. Thanks. If you can, please reply at My Talk Page. (Joseph A.

[edit] 2008

Why are you deleting multiple entries in this article? Shenme (talk) 06:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I can see you are making other changes to other articles. But I worry that people will _not_ know to look in other articles for events in 2008. I didn't see (with just one look) where it says 'stuff' might be in other places. I just worry... Shenme (talk) 06:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Please stop removing events as you are doing in the 2008 article.
There might be some merit in removing certain entries, but I cannot see how you are choosing them. You are not moving all the political events, you removed certain events while leaving other, (similar ones).
It might be better to propose your changes in the talk page and make the changes once a consensus has been reached. FFMG (talk) 07:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Academy Awards - Ratings

Hi. I see that you have added a Ratings Chart to the Academy Award article. I think it's a great addition -- thanks! One thing is confusing, though. In the Chart, you have the last column listed as "Source". Yet, none of the numbers in the actual chart agree with the numbers in the "Source" cited. Am I missing something? I am really confused. I didn't want to go in and make a lot of changes, thinking that I might have missed something here. Can you please fill me in? Please reply at my Talk Page. Thanks! (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC))

I got your messages - thanks. A quick response, for now --- and I will follow-up more fully later. The statistics and figures in the Academy Award article / chart have a source listed. However, the source that is listed does not match the actual data in the chart. Why are those listed as sources, then? If you are getting the data from other sources, then why not list those other sources in the "Source" section of the Chart? Thanks. Also --- does the Nielson Ratings Company have any formalized list / chart / table / etc. that serves as the "official" source? Do you know? I imagine, they must --- since they themselves are the source of this data --- no? Please reply at my Talk Page. Thanks! (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 20:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC))

[edit] 2008

2008 is following the model set by articles of previous years.... 2007, 2006, 2005, and so on all look very similar to 2008. I believe that elections especially deserve to be listed, and if the entry is something such as "February 19 - Presidential election in Armenia," the link for Presidential election actually sends you to the specific article about the Armenian elections. --Tocino 01:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
