You're welcome.

I'm not great at alphabetizing.

At least try if you add or re-add anything. See which letter it comes between, rather than just adding it at the end or where someone else had it. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip.

I promise to ask next time.

You're generally fine when linking to exact titles or people's names, now that you've learned to make sure it's not something else with a same or similar title. You just need to be more careful when dealing with words within places, titles, or lists of credits, since that's where it gets contextual and a link is often not relevant or useful. You still do a lot of good work linking stuff for us, though, and it's appreciated! Just be a little more careful (or ask) when it's linking just because it came up in a Google result, especially when it's not the same word anyway ("Jewish" and "Judaism" are related but not synonymous, since there's culturally Jewish stuff, plenty of secular Jews, etc. but if it mentions specific terms like rabbi, synagogue/temple, cantor, seder, Hanukkah etc. then it's related to Judaism, and most of the Israeli co-production stuff is because they usually contrast with Arab/Muslim characters).

I'm sorry for putting the Substitute in the wrong section. I thought I did a good job putting the connections of Substitute in alphabetical order of their last names. It's a long shot but, I could ask Rico on Twitter if the ball named Mr. Hooper was a Sesame reference.

D'oh, of course! How did I miss that!

So if I find something that uses the word "is" and it's not related to a quote from an interview, that's when I should change it?

It depends on the context. The ones you changed that I looked at seem to work either way, but I just wanted to point it out so you weren't breaking your back over it or anything

Gotcha.

You're welcome.

I'm glad he finally has a page!

Since Shane has done all the work on Sesame Street Memories, I thought I'd let him handle adding those videos to the page.

I didn't even notice these were uploaded; I never check that tab. I'll get to them tomorrow!

Okay. From now on, I'll clarify by saying the name of a song they wrote lyrics for in the edit summery. For instance, Chris Jackson wrote the lyrics for Rakhi Road.

The bigger thing is, don't just add based on infoboxes and the like. I'm cleaning that up now. If three to six names are credited, or even two, and we're not sure who did which, going with Composers is fine. Adding them all to composers and lyricists isn't.

Okay. I gotcha.

I'm going by the confirmed first appearances of the sketches that those characters debuted in.

You seem to be looking at the song dates, not the airdates; those first two were correct by Anthony's change.

Why are the dates on the song pages different from the dates on the sketch pages?

For example, Frankie Monster appeared in "Love the Ocean" which we say debuted in 1989, but the episode aired in 1990.

The template reflects when the song was written/copyrighted, not necessarily when it aired or was first released.

I didn't know that. Is that confusing?

How do we know "Herry's Family Song" was written in 1986?

It was taped January 7, 1987, so it can't have been written less than a week prior.

"Herry's Family Song" could have been written in 1985, but because it was taped in 1987, we're assuming one year before. That doesn't feel very solid.

I wonder if this is a bigger wiki conversation we should have about song dates.

That did not occur to me; seems plausible, and worth a discussion.

I think we did talk about song dates before, maybe not what we're talking here, but I feel there was a time when we talked about how a lot of song copyright dates (especially for the first season) tend to be for when the season ends (such as the theme song being copyrighted 1970 instead of 1969), But now that more firsts have been confirmed, it seems like a lot of copyright dates do reflect the start of their respective seasons. 

I've also been wondering if we could use at least a sandbox page for segments that were held over until a later season, if we have enough confirmed instances. Seems there's a lot of segments where the first broadcast appearance is a season later than what's been confirmed on DVD and other sources (some widely sourced; for example, I feel it's widely sourced that "Pinball Number Count" was made in season 7 but none of them aired until season 8). 

That's a good point, too. I've come across at least a handful of those.

Where are you finding song copyright dates? As far as I remebe the last time I looked up anything on ASCAP, it didn't come with a date.

Most copyright dates we have are sourced from album liner notes, songbooks and lyric sheets, and in some cases, the Copyright Catalog.
