Fair use rationale for Image:Johno-sized.jpg
Image:Johno-sized.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 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.

"Announcing 32 game shows"
Since the article asserts that Johnny Olson was the announcer of 32 game shows (an assertion without citation, I must add), it would seen that a List of game shows announced by Johnny Olson, either as a standalone article or a section of this article, would be in order. Come to think about it, so would an article for List of game shows hosted by Bill Cullen, as Bill Cullen was similarly prolific in the business (and the assertion in his article equally uncited). 147.70.242.40 (talk) 18:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Succession boxes
There is already a discussion regarding the succession boxes on these articles at Talk:Michael G. Richards. Please go there to discuss the remove or keep of these boxes BEFORE removing them. --70.242.164.14 (talk) 16:05, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

"Air check"?
Too bad there isn't a recorded excerpt that one can hear... 178.0.144.222 (talk) 14:01, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Pilots
@User:TrekkiELO, please stop adding pilots announced by Olsen to the Match Game and later career section. WP:CITEIMDB discusses issues with using IMDB as a reference, specifically the Inappropriate uses uses section and reference to programs that are "in development" or "have yet to premiere". IMDB is not a source that meets WP:V in regard to the information your edit. Additionally, Olson announced numerous other pilots that are not included in this article.

 * User:AldezD, please stop Edit warring, Harassment or more specifically Harassment me without providing at least one reliable source about "Olson announcing numerous other pilots that are not included in this article" or elsewhere when you started to revert my edits both here at Johnny Olson's Wikipedia page and the Family Feud one.--TrekkiELO (talk) 18:02, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Question for administrator

 * IMDB is definitely not reliable and cannot be used as a source - it's way too easy for any member of the public to change the IMDB page (I have done so myself on occasions) Ron h jones (Talk) 19:24, 6 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Ron h jones  No it's not too easy for any member of the public to change the IMDb page as you say, I know, I've sent edits over many years until recently and only one has ever been approved. A picture or video says a thousand words Family Feud Pilot Part 5--TrekkiELO (talk) 21:01, 6 August 2017 (UTC)


 * You must have been unlucky then. Anyway - we have a nice page about IMDB Citing IMDb - it's then up to the editor who adds the data to show that the data is good - e.g. Citing_IMDb, if you can't agree then we have Dispute resolution to sort out disagreements. Remember, ideally editing should be done under the WP:BRD system, so that a page is constructed on a consensus of interested editors - Consensus is a key Wikipedia policy.

 * @User:TrekkiELO, the WP guidelines linked above in my original edit point to specific protocols to follow regarding verifiability and when to use IMDB as a source. Additionally, the information that one specific personality provided announcing duties on a pilot is not information that falls under WP:TVCAST. Also, Olson provided announcing duties before production began. The fact that Olsen announced one pilot episode of a program is not WP:N information. There were likely several run throughs, both taped and not taped, where he—or anyone else for that matter—could have announced. Additionally, Olsen announced many other pilots that are available for viewing on Youtube, which, due to copyright status and WP:YT, cannot be linked here. There are also other websites which provide still images and detail regarding additional pilots he announced. AldezD (talk) 22:42, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

re early career
since he definitely denied singing more than the average person Johnny Olson on What's my line NO, not a singeri believe calling him a singer should be removed, unsourced and definitely denied in a source --Qazwiz (talk) 14:12, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
