Editing list of the Rosie Show episodes
Hi CamATSmith. Would you be able to let me know what I am doing wrong with my edits to the List of Rosie Show episodes page? All I am doing is providing clickable links to the guests name for the upcoming week. There is nothing wrong with that. I can gather that you are going by what is said on air for the following day, but if it's mentioned on the official website, then the later days should be correct as well, plus the shows right now have been pretaped a month in advance. If there is a change in schedule, you can always just change the guests name like that, but keep the brackets makin g the clickable links. Can you explain the method to your madness? thanks! 70.83.85.91 (talk) 18:14, 14 January 2012 (UTC)samusek2

Hello! You are right- there is nothing wrong with the way you are doing it. I just have found that the show's schedule has changed quite often during its run, where show guests or subjects are changed the day before or a few days before, so I have been adding the brackets the night before the show. There were a lot of pre-taped episodes in the vault but I saw Rosie in an interview last week and she said that the producers now want her to tape on the same day that the episodes air, so that she can talk about current, topical issues. So, guests could easily change last minute. Also, when users are looking at the list, I thought it looked nice to have the highlighted links only going up to the following day's show, so that users can easily see who will be on the show the next day. But if you really like having all the links there in advance, feel free. Sorry if I made you feel like you were doing something wrong- it wasn't my intention. I have just been the only one updating it since its premiere until now, so I have been doing it a certain way and got used the flow.

That's ok. I was just curious. Good job, btw!70.83.85.91 (talk) 19:44, 14 January 2012 (UTC)samusek2
