Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia on TV and radio

There are a few NPR shows that reference Wikipedia articles as sources.

Weekend Edition Saturday correction about first TV sitcom Jan. 24, 2004 references Mary Kay and Johnny
Talk of the Nation Science Friday October 31, 2003, references Ötzi the Iceman
Talk of the Nation Science Friday June 20, 2003, references Quantum entanglement

I'm not sure which category they should go in. older≠wiser 23:08, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Paper's 'wikitorial' trial halted 21 June 05 on the BBC, refers to Wikipedia, Jimbo Wales. 202.0.43.65 22:08, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Now if we can just get them to mention and use Wikipedia on Law & Order or Crossing Jordan, it'll feel like that first time being slashdotted all over again.

Is this a "mere reference"?

The episode of Mastermind broadcast on 21st August 2006 on the BBC2 television channel in the UK featured this question in its general knowledge round: "Which internet encyclopedia was founded by Jimmy Wales in 2001?" The contestant gave the correct answer: "Wikipedia."

Is this a "mere reference" according to the bit at the top of the page, and hence, should this go somewhere else, like Wikipedia in popular culture? Carcharoth 20:01, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the other examples on the page, I've gone ahead and added this anyway. Carcharoth 20:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cisco

Cisco commercial with music by The Who aired on October 11, 2006. It shows a child reading Wikipedia on a laptop.

Suggested split: news and popular cultural

This section conglomerates televised/radio news reports with mentions of/references to Wikipedia on television programmes like American Dad and Live with Regis and Kelly; I'd suggest such be split, and that news sections be formatted more in line with the Wikipedia:Press_coverage style. For example, last night's report on NBC Nightly News could be thus:

March 22 2007

Daniels, Lisa (2007-03-22). "Source of Confusion". NBC Nightly News. NBC. Retrieved 2007-03-23.
"A report that takes us into some American schools. What to do when the only problem with a certain encyclopedia is the facts inside?" Lisa Daniels reports on educators' issues with Wikipedia, and demonstrates how she edited her own entry to make herself a "rock star" (although she fails to mention that it was reverted one minute later.)

I had previously placed that item on the Press Coverage page, because the listings here seemed like another version of Wikipedia in popular culture.--Leflyman^Talk 20:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think this page should be formatted like that. I think that editors have placed some of these additions in the wrong place - this page shouldn't be another version of Wikipedia in popular culture. --Jtalledo (talk) 12:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia in movies

We don't have a page on Wikipedia in film or Wikipedia in the movies, so I'm going to add a Lars and the Real Girl link here. Do you think this page should be renamed to Wikipedia in TV, radio and film? Corvus cornix 22:52, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

American Dad!

Wikipedia was mentioned during an episode of American Dad!, but i cant see it on this list. --- Paulley (talk) 14:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Black Mystery Month, was the episode as a result all articles on the real Wikipedia which related to peanut butter, Mary Todd Lincoln, and the Illuminati were protected before the end of the episode's first broadcast. --- Paulley (talk) 14:34, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
