Television: ITC productions Project‑class | ||||||||||

Can anyone vouch for the accuracy of the man in a suitcase episode list, more specifically the episode numbers/order? The list you have does not correspond to the imdb list (which has broadcast dates). However the source of those dats or the station they relate to is not stated, nor if the broadcast order is that intended. The running order is cast into further doubt as the current ITV4 repeats matches neither the IMDB or your order. I mailed the ITV duty office on the issue and they claimed it was the original order (they have taken case with the other ITC series currently being repeated. After the duty office sent an initial response I mailed them the order inc broadcast dates from IMDB. They refered the matter to the ITV4 schedulers and promised to get back to me, however I have yet to receive a response (I will chase them again). In the meantime it would be useful if you could try and validate the episode numbers if you have a more authorative source. Dondilly 04:37, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Im still yet to get a reply from the ITV4 scheduler however I did do a check of their schedule/listings. My first mail to ITV was after the first episode they broadcast. Episode 1 - Sweet Sue (07 November) Episode 2 - The Girl Who Never Was (14 November) Episode 3 - Blind Spot (21 November) While they havnt acknowledged the error, I noticed that in fact on the 14th they in fact broadcast 'Brainwash' and have 'The Sitting Pigeon' now scheduled for the 21st and 'Day of Execution' for the 28th, so while I got no idea where they got their original order, they now seem to have switched to the IMDB running order though I presume they will skip over brainwash as they had shown it out of sequence.
As for using the order of the DVD release, frequently they will differ from the broadcast order anyway. You only have to look at the ufoseries website where they have done a direct comparison of the differing running orders http://www.ufoseries.com/faq.html#16 notice however that most of the accepted running orders seem to follow production order, however production and intended order, filming can be dictated by various circumstances such as availability of sets and cast. Sometimes when distributing a series, the producion company wont give a suggested running order for the TV company to follow, especially where episode storylines are self contained, they might only dictate a few order dependencies (so that dead characters dont spring back to life etc) As a definitive ITC guide, it might be worthwile to decide as policy, which episode order you publish (IMDB tends to imply original broadcast order as while their lists sometimes gets screwed up, they do usually have the original broadcast date)
Is there a webpage or other source that has a complete list of ITC productions? That's probably the best way of figuring out which shows are missing articles. 23skidoo 20:07, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
I think that sounds like a great idea. Having it laid out like this makes it a lot easier to see what has an article and what doesn't, and where the work needs to be done. HowardBerry 17:18, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Although I agree with the rationale behind using R2 DVD covers when possible, aesthetics should be taken into account as well as on occasion the North American releases (primarily A&E) sometimes look better. It might not hurt to include one or two screen captures as well from the DVDs. I'd like to see that grainy picture of Brains from the Thunderbirds article replaced with a half-decent screen capture, for example. I'd do it myself but I don't have the show on DVD. The use of book and comic book covers I think also adds visual interest (see, for example, The Saint (TV series) and Danger Man, though of course care must be taken to avoid turning the articles into image galleries, and short articles that are unlikely to grow very much, such as The Secret Service, need only a single image at the moment. 23skidoo 20:53, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
My suggestion for a unique ITC infobox, due to the complexity of ITC's affairs...
{{Infobox ITC | orig_name = Lew Grade Totally Nude| other_name = Grade in a Suitcase (US); Grade dans la Eiffel (France); Lew auf der bahnhof (Germany/Austria)| image = [[Image:MIASdvd.JPG|right|British DVD release]]| caption = British DVD release image| format = Action Adventure| runtime = 60 min.| creator = [[Dennis Spooner]]| starring = [[Richard Bradford]]| country = [[United Kingdom|UK]]| ran_from = [[1967]]| ran_until = [[1968]]| num_episodes = 36,892| prod_co_img = [[Image:Atv-sm.gif|right|{{Articletitle}} production company]]| prod_co = ATV (or ITC, or APF or C21 or Unknown etc etc)| ran_on = [[ITV]] in the UK; [[?BC]] in the US (or [[Syndication]] in the US| }}
(You'll have to imagine the formatting for yourselves, or look at the edit screen)
This allows for the fact that many ITC and ATV dates are vague. For instance, the exact start date means little when a series is syndicated (although we can easily track down the first showing in the UK and the first (if any) in the US, anything beyond that gets very difficult to do).
What do people think of this? ➨ ❝ REDVERS ❞ 22:00, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
When I enter information on any page with the box, the alternative name entry doesn't ever seem to work. See what I mean on The Zoo Gang page. Weird. HowardBerry 18:41, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
I've done some icons for the Infobox "production company" category. They are:
The YTV and Euston ones are only useful if the Rising Damp and George & Mildred movies were made by YTV and Euston respectively; I think they were but can't swear to it at this second. Nope, a simple rights buy-out job, no involvement from the original TV production companies that I can see. ➨

The Weinstein and Sapphire ones (which are screenshots taken with a camera in the early 1960s by a friend of mine) are for a couple of the very early ITC shows and will have replaced the ITC Production credit in the LewList as soon as I stop having this blond moment and remember which ones. ➨

As we're now going with Distributions instead of Productions, should we change the category from Category:ITC Entertainment Productions to Distributions, or keep it (for those series actually produced by ITC) and introduce a secondary category for the other ITC distributed shows? HowardBerry 17:14, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Are we including all ATV programs under this umbrella or just the ones connected with ITC? I was going through some of my Bill Haley archives and I found a VHS tape someone sent me of a 1979 UK documentary program under the ATV label called Format V. Aside from Bill Haley's appearance in March 1979, is there any other information about this program available anywhere? 23skidoo 03:19, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
What should be done with relation to spin-off articles? For example there are individual articles for several Prisoner episodes, John Drake has his own page, etc.? Should these be considered part of the project, too? 23skidoo 19:56, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Hello, I think Thunderbirds was produced by Gerry Anderson's earlier company AP Films rather than 21st Century productions. However, I don't really understand the formatting of the infobox, so I was wondering if somebody could change it please. Bob 21:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello! We at the Work via WikiProjects team for Wikipedia 1.0 would like you to identify the " key articles" from your project that should be included in offline releases of Wikipedia based on their importance, regardless of quality. We will use that information to assess which articles should be nominated for Version 1.0 (not yet open) and later versions. Hopefully it will also help you identify which articles are the most important for the project to work on. As well, please add to your Arts WikiProject article table any articles of quality articles|high quality]]. If you are interested in developing a worklist such as this one for your WikiProject, or having a bot generate a worklist automatically for you, please contact us. Please feel free to post your suggestions right here. Thanks! Walkerma 06:08, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Just for anyone interested, the various ITC logos are being removed from article infoboxes as they apparently do not conform to Fair Use (see Space: 1999). I'm not the one doing the removals, but I thought I'd just give people a heads up about it. 23skidoo 11:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Huh? Maybe BetaCommandBot is deleting the images. I had ALL my images have a tag (on my Pet Force page), while he deleted the image, Abnermalcopyrighted.jpg. I guess he has some kind of bug. Oh Well. At least he might not delete my ITC first logo screen. -- Garzooka, Odious, Abnermal, Starlena and ComPooky! LET THE FUR FLY! 16:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I've started a new article on Ivanhoe. If this forms part of the project, please add a template - I'm not sure of the technicalities as it was a co-production shown on ITV. Any improvements to the article are welcome, of course. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 08:23, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey there team! Do we need to have an article chronicling the DVD releases of ITC shows - similar to the Doctor Who DVD releases page? There have been many releases (not just on home video where compilation movies were also made available) in different markets and with varying features. Howie ☎ 13:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
I have added my name to the participants and added the banner to my user page. I hope that is ok. Also on my user page is a list of programmes I have done and considering doing wikistyle. REVUpminster ( talk) 10:37, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
I think the file you use for your wikiproject advertisement, File:Qxz-ad139.gif, violates IP. Specifically, it includes the ITC logo, which is most likely copyrighted, servicemarked and trademarked. The ITC logo image used on the ITC article, File:ITC Entertainment (Original logo).png has a copyright fairuse tag on it.
As it resides on commons, and someone else spots this, it might be speedily deleted. It might be good for you guys to point out if it is free and unencumbered on the talk page there for the file.

File:ITC on DVD.jpg also appears to violate Commons policy on derivative images. If it is needed, it probably should be moved to Wikipedia. It is a photograph of copyrighted works (DVD covers), which is something Commons does not allow. 65.94.47.63 ( talk) 08:51, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014
For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.
I invite editors to join the discussion at WP:WikiProject Television to convert many inactive WikiProjects into taskforces, including this one. -- Gonnym ( talk) 11:08, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
