Talk:Today (1982 TV program)

Article name

Just to clarify, I have moved this to the correct name as per naming conventions at WP:NC-TV. -- Chuq (talk) 02:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Title screen image

I have commented out the screencap of the Today title screen because there was not a detailed fair use rationale on its image page for its specific usage in this article. - Mark 02:06, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Link for Richard Wilkins

Umm...does someone want to fix the link for Richard Wilkins on the Today Show Page? When I checked it, it linked to a fictional character in the Buffy TV series... Aps 05:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeh there has been some people vandalising this article, ie replacing Karl's name with C-3PO. Please stop, to whoever is responsible! --Tjkirk (talk) 07:23, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:First Today Show - History.jpg

Image:First Today Show - History.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Brian Bury

I'm looking for information on the wonderful weatherman Brian Bury on wikipedia. Nothing here. I hope somebody has some info. I'm from the generation where Mr. Bury was a big part of Television News. He must be modest and has not entered anything into wikipedia. Ern Malleyscrub (talk) 01:15, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Editing

I have just fixed up this article as someone vandalized it without using proper spelling and not using capital letters. So please respect the efforts that some people go to fix up this articles due to people playing around with it. Robbo128 22:06, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Capitalisation

Robbo128, regarding capitalisation - specifically these edits:

WP:MOSCAPS is fairly clear about capitalisation - in general we do not capitalise anything other than the first word. In some cases, you may be correct in capitalising the name of a specific segment (eg "Girls on the Grill" sounds like a specific segment name), but generic roles (eg "finance editor") should no be overly capitalised. However currently they are all under the general heading "roles". Can I suggest that you change the table to use separate columns for:

• specific "segment names" (eg "Girls on the Grill") - these could reasonably be capitalised (eg per MOS:CT)
• generic roles such as "co-host", "entertainment editor" - these should not be capitalised (except the first letter)

Mitch Ames (talk) 12:22, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

References would help also, to support the name and capitalisation of the segments. Likewise a newline to separate segment titles for clarity. Example. Mitch Ames (talk) 03:39, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

I notice that Afterwriting and Robbo128 have been disagreeing about capitalisation [1][2][3]. I suggest that we discuss the matter here rather than edit-warring. As I mentioned above, splitting the "role" columns into "segment name" and "host role" might help resolve this problem. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:09, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. If I understand them correctly I think your suggestions are an improvement. However, judging by his talk page, It doesn't seem that Robbo is interested in following Wikipedias's style policies on this matter. Afterwriting (talk) 15:41, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

This [4][5] is getting very tedious ... Mitch Ames (talk) 13:31, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Presenters table layout

Could someone please split the "Role" column in each table in the Presenters section into several more specific roles, eg "role" (what the person does, eg co-host, presenter, entertainment editor), "segment" (eg sport, weather, Girls on the Grill), "state" (NSW, Victoria etc). At the moment it's a dog's breakfast. References would also be nice. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:02, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

In the hope that someone will provide references so I can separate out the segment/roles myself, I've requested references for the Presenters section. Mitch Ames (talk) 08:15, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Or maybe just leave a link to a suitable reference here, so I can fix it myself. I've searched the program's website and can't find anything. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:14, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

News & sport

Regarding these edits: [6][7][8][9][10], I continue to asset that MOS:CAPS clearly says that it should be "News & sport", not "News & Sport", because "Sport" is not a proper noun here so ought not be capitalised. 103.131.221.233 please explain why you think it is a proper noun and/or should be capitalised. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:07, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

In the absence of any response I have again changed to sentence case, per MOS:CAPS. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:54, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

• Today (Australian TV program) → Today (1982 TV program)
• Today (1960 TV series) → Today (1960 TV program)

– The 1960 TV series appears to be incorrectly named per WP:NCTV as it appears to lack continuing story elements. That would make the 1982 TV program more clearly ambiguous with it, and suggest fully disambiguating both. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
