Emmy?[edit]

the website for the show, and a long standing version of our article claim that the show has won an Emmy. However, a search at the Emmy's [1] reveals no hits. Nor does a google news search give any hits. Was it maybe a local Emmy or is the Emmy's webpage broken or an incomplete list of their winners or is the claim a big fraud? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:54, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

TRPOD - The first mention Emmy and Everyday Edisons, which was on April 22, 2007, noted that the show, " 'Everyday Edisons,' that premieres tonight on WTVI, and will air in 300 PBS markets. ... Show host Michael Cable, a multiple Emmy winner, notes the two women competed against 5,000 inventors ...)[2] The next mention, on May 17, 2008, notes: "Ingenious ideas for inventions wanted. Everyday Edisons, the Emmy Award-winning show on PBS"[3] That May 17, 2008 post was followed by over a hundred news articles over the next five years citing Everyday Edisons as Emmy Award-winning, but not one cited when Everyday Edisons won the award or for what. On May 3, 2008, the Charlotte Observer reported, "Four Telly Awards go to "Everyday Edisons," the PBS show created by Louis Foreman, CEO of the Charlotte-based product development firm Enventys. "Edisons" was honored for documentary, education, use of animation and editing."[4]. It often then is referred to as Emmy and Telly award-winning "Everyday Edisons" or " Emmy and Telly award-winning first season of "Everyday Edisons"".
The Everyday Edisons show would have had to receive its Emmys between April 22, 2007 and May 17, 2008. Oddly, I can't find any reference indicating that Everyday Edisons won Emmy awards. If you have time, can you confirm the Telly awards report? that Michael Cable is a multiple Emmy winner? -- Jreferee (talk) 14:30, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Part of it may be the really poor set up of the site. They have separate page for each category news awards here: [5], and then each year is listed in a PDF on that category page. Their search engine doesnt seem to pick up the content in the PDFs. Oy. we will need to figure out what category the award was for and then look through each of the pdfs. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:47, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Loopa, Befudium, Pressix, and Rodriguez[edit]

Reply reposted from Help Desk thread: I found several sources mentioning Loopa and Everyday Edisons,[6][7][8][9] but nothing mentioning Befudium. Pressix and Everyday Edisons is mentioned in this article. I did not find any Wikipedia reliable sources mentioning Luis Rodriguez and Everyday Edisons. -- Jreferee (talk) 14:08, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
