Talk:What is...Cliff Clavin?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Location of the episode

Wasn't Jeopardy! actually taping in Boston, thereby creating the device where Cliff gets to compete and afterwards having Trebek visit Cheers to console Cliff? It's been quite a while since I've seen this episode, but I don't think they flew out to Los Angeles. (Norm was at the taping, IIRC.) Spicy 20:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Right you are. Mixed this up with the ep where they watch Johnny Carson. Staxringold 20:56, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

shouldn't this page be titled "What is... Cliff Clavin?" ? the (cheers) suffix seems unnecessary, because there's no other page with the name. The Kids Aren't Alright 20:37, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I would tend to agree, but given the recent decision to move The West Wing presidential election, 2006 despite there being no actual presidential election then... *shrug*. I put it there to be safe, but I have no serious opinion either way. Staxringold 23:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I Lost on Jeopardy ref

I contend the ref is correct, as it's the exact title of the song. Please leave it.

It's not vandalism, as both "Weird Al" and Cliff Clavin lost on Jeopardy. This is turning into a revert war, and since you've reverted three times today, please stop. Alan 02:02, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Some odd edits you've made Why have you continued to edit What is...Cliff Clavin? (Cheers), changing a quote that includes the phrase "I lost on Jeopardy" to link to the song, and you say you are fixing a ref. Wikilinks do not reference anything, and the quote has nothing to do with the song. What's up? Staxringold talkcontribs 01:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. References are external websites/books/articles/etc that prove a certain fact is true (Joe Shmoe was born MONTH DAY, YEAR with a reference to an article asserting that birthday). What you are doing is linking a phrase to a song with the same name. That is excess linking, and vandalism now that you have been told what it is. Please cease and desist.

Temporarily blocking user for 3RR violations and continued vandalism despite warning. Please read Wikipedia:Citing sources for what a reference actually is. Staxringold _talk^contribs 02:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I don't see the point of the ref either. This article isn't related to the Weird Al song. Perhaps the weird Al song can refer to here, but that's not relevant to this article. -Phoenixrod 02:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
