Talk:Jeopardy! audition process

References needed
Would someone do me the favor of auditing this article for anything where a citation might be needed and tagging it? Robert K S 11:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Citations should be added as liberally as possible so that every statement can be verified as not being original research. Although the recent addition of facts are valid, I would also like to see references for the Art Fleming section as well. I will not volunteer to find references, though; that's done better by someone who is much more familiar with the show than I am.


 * I'd also like to comment on the recently closed AfD which happened while I was away. If I was !voting, I would have said week keep or merge. I can see how the article reads like a how-to even after Robert's well-intended edits (a contestant goes through this, then this, then this, etc.). I have no idea how to convert how-to prose into encyclopedic prose, and that's possibly why how-tos are included in WP:NOT. If a how-to guide answers the question "How does a contestant get on Jeopardy!?", this article may answer some of that, meaning this article could be a how-to. But a phrase like "20 auditioners are reduced to 10 this way" does not sound like a how-to to me. Most of the non-how-to info is relevant enough to be in the main article, and would have been easy to merge if the main article was not so large.


 * As for message board posts as references, regardless of the message board contributors' credentials, they really should be avoided for verifiability reasons. For example, I would learn about television ratings from this board, but I would never dare use those postings as references in an article. TLK'in 05:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Reference collection
Whenever I spot a reference dealing with the Jeopardy! audition process, I'm just going to add it to this list, and others are welcome to add as well. Robert K S (talk) 22:12, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Here's a November 30, 2007 press release Jeopardy! put out boasting that their online test had helped bring more women contestants to the show. (Original archived here.)

Split
While this article is not long, I believe the Wheel of Fortune section should become its own stub article. Two different subjects in one article. Us441(talk) (contribs) 12:18, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. For the Wheel of Fortune article, the production information section should be expanded to include contestant selection similar to the section featured on the article about The Price Is Right here while most of it will be in that article. I am currently working on it in my sandbox, which can be found at User:Sjones23/Wheel of Fortune audition process. Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:13, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
