- 15:3115:31, 20 May 2024 diff hist −76 Capitol (TV series) →Synopsis: as complicated as this is to read, given the recasts, doesn't really help to repeat only two actors' names in parenthesis later when character names are repeated after initial identification, so removing; taking out unlinked titles for Arthur Malet, since randomly chosen (he had a bigger role in Mary Poppins) and he has his own page, and the others don't mention non soap credits of the veteran actors current

- 21:5221:52, 7 May 2024 diff hist +481 Talk:CBS Radio Workshop No edit summary current
- 21:5121:51, 7 May 2024 diff hist +46 Denmark Vesey →In popular culture: correcting radio info (CBS Radio Workshop episode was a script reuse, retitled, and some alterations by uncredited writer) current
- 21:4621:46, 7 May 2024 diff hist +146 CBS Radio Workshop Destination Freedom "see also" is random, explaining that two episodes were remade for the series; "same writers and directors" isn't really correct (one Columbia Workshop script, "Air Raid," was reused, one director); more specifics on episodes or cast to be added later current
- 21:3821:38, 7 May 2024 diff hist +17 The Jack Carson Show →Personnel: adding Irene Ryan's character (referred to on-air as "Miss Ryan," played same character on Bob Hope's show, a frail old maid and hypochondriac) current
- 21:3621:36, 7 May 2024 diff hist −10 The Jack Carson Show →Personnel: Norma Jean Nilsson's character was referred to as Norma Jean
1 May 2024
- 15:3315:33, 1 May 2024 diff hist −10 Reg E. Cathey →Film: maybe nitpicky, but not technically uncredited in Hands of Stone; in the main end title sequence of principal actors, he is credited (above Yancey Arias, in a shared title card)... but omitted from the later list of cast with character names, so just not specified as playing Don King (same thing applied to Oscar Janaeda who got higher billing), a more common practice in older movies, now usually just an error in the credits
- 15:2815:28, 1 May 2024 diff hist −7 Cool and Lam →Bibliography: paperback back cover blurbs, then and now, seldom if ever written by the author (and Pocket Books added a lot of non author text, including lists of characters with descriptions and pages they appeared on, to Gardner, Agatha Christie, etc.), so rewording current
- 15:2615:26, 1 May 2024 diff hist −237 Cool and Lam →Bibliography: adjusting POV wording, "it will pay the reader," "more imaginative" comparison and "this may be unintentional" (not entirely sure Chesterton ref even belongs, but works best without any further speculation or opinion)
- 15:2415:24, 1 May 2024 diff hist −65 Cool and Lam taking out some repetition (likely a result of page mergers, but the description of Bertha in Donald Lam's section contradicts or repeats needlessly what's above
- 15:2115:21, 1 May 2024 diff hist +6 Sparky Marcus →Filmography: was Montgomery Moose on Get Along Gang, rather than multiple roles current

- 03:2203:22, 24 April 2024 diff hist −58 Sigmund and the Sea Monsters →Humans: episodes now streaming, Gertrude left in the episode *after* the haunted house one current
- 03:2003:20, 24 April 2024 diff hist −242 Coming Up Rosie taking out Purvis Bickle/Taxi Driver bit (since movie came out later, doesn't really seem worth mentioning), some linking and name spelling corrections Tag: Disambiguation links added
- 03:1803:18, 24 April 2024 diff hist −68 Here Come the Brides rewording section on lyrics not referencing show title ("look out everyone" bit is someone's imagination and not needed) current
1 April 2024
- 03:3303:33, 1 April 2024 diff hist +6 The Curse of Monkey Island →Audio: rephrasing a little (they're not billed or treated as "special guest stars"; Bergman was a working voice actress and it was pre South Park, and pre-Angel for Quinn who just has a few lines; might be worth redoing to list the full voice cast at some point, since fairly well known and with Wikipedia pages character actors Kathleen Freeman and Dave Madden were in it too, but nobody was treated as a celebrity voice)
24 March 2024
- 05:1805:18, 24 March 2024 diff hist −199 Beany and Cecil →Main characters: several print sources do agree that Irv Shoemaker voiced Cecil, but citing not even an article but a user comment on an article as a source is pretty lousy (cite tag can be added if someone needs it, better sources do exist)
- 05:1605:16, 24 March 2024 diff hist −38 Beany and Cecil →Minor characters: taking out Daws Butler; may have played the puppet version on Time for Beany, but didn't voice the animated version
- 05:1405:14, 24 March 2024 diff hist −14 Don Messick →Films: "scenes unshown" makes no sense; shorts didn't originally air on TV, just theatrically, but later popped up occasionally on VHS, Cartoon Network/Boomerang, and even DVD
19 March 2024
- 03:2403:24, 19 March 2024 diff hist −478 List of guest stars on Sesame Street more false claims removed, "being spoofed as" is not being a guest star (and Underwood covered already in correct alphabetical order); taking out George Zima (confirmed he appeared but doesn't have a page; wasn't a celebrity, just a working NY actor/dancer who was in an early episode); Seinfeld added because of a Muppet Wiki picture of him on set when he was dating a puppeteer but he was never on the show
- 03:1303:13, 19 March 2024 diff hist −57 List of guest stars on Sesame Street correct alphabetizing on Aaron Boone, again trying to trim fake additions; Ed Asner was never on the show nor was Ernest Borgnine, Kenneth Branagh, all additions from this blocked user, more still to catch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2601:44:8901:FF40:9006:88C9:4063:C9A4
- 03:0603:06, 19 March 2024 diff hist −69 June Foray →Television: Penny Phillips voiced Krazy Kat, not June Foray
18 March 2024
- 04:4104:41, 18 March 2024 diff hist −289 Van Snowden correcting; Snowden only played Pufnstuf after the movie, Banana Splits claim is incoherent nonsense not actually in Hollywood Reporter obit; Dr. Cyclops and Wolfman were Walker Edmiston in makeup
12 March 2024
- 05:5705:57, 12 March 2024 diff hist −77 June Foray DoDo the Kid from Outer Space claim is false, removing
- 05:5205:52, 12 March 2024 diff hist −193 Don Messick →Television: Great Race-a-lot is incoherent nonsense which only appears on this page (more cleanup needed); "Animal Follies" is just the title of one of many Hanna-Barbera releases of previous TV episodes, not a new production, Frank Welker voiced Dapple on Don Coyote
11 March 2024
- 21:5821:58, 11 March 2024 diff hist −661 Don Messick →Television: DoDo credit just a random guess; taking out theatrical short listed once and then again when reaired on Pink Panther Show (no need to duplicate), taking out elaborate "I think it was probably" attempt to cite for Dino noises
- 21:5421:54, 11 March 2024 diff hist −251 DoDo, The Kid from Outer Space taking out voices, all random guesses based on IMDb user comments like "I think," "I guess," "I recall," with no actual screen credits; Halas & Batchelor was a British studio and show made there so no Hollywood voices were used anyway, just actors trying to sound "transatlantic" or expatriate Americans (Ed Bishop is more likely but again no actual source for the claim)
- 21:5021:50, 11 March 2024 diff hist −61 Don Messick →Television: "Different TV Shorts" is not a series nor anything that can be sourced or verified
5 March 2024
- 20:0020:00, 5 March 2024 diff hist −1,262 On the Air (TV series) taking out all "seems he is immortal" passages; it's a slapstick sitcom, so aside from one duck, the characters don't die, and Shorty isn't a giant (just large), taking out "help good friend" stuff too; lots of POV or just random extraneous notes current
- 09:1909:19, 5 March 2024 diff hist −124 Sigmund and the Sea Monsters taking out "strangely" bit about absent parents (their planned return, delayed is a plot in one episode, and absent parents on kids shows or cartoons of the time weren't uncommon); checked actual episodes from streaming sources, Margaret Hamilton's character (three episodes only) is called Miss Eddels, moving down as the most infrequently seen of that list
6 February 2024
- 07:0307:03, 6 February 2024 diff hist +31 Escape (radio program) →List of episodes: Walter Burke was in 1950 episode of "Command" but just "also heard in tonight's cast"; the star was Harry Bartell, with John Hoyt as co-lead (may as well add him, and also Will Geer playing the same character in the earlier version) current
- 07:0107:01, 6 February 2024 diff hist −18 Escape (radio program) →List of episodes: while Ben Wright was in the 1950 "The Man Who Stole the Bible," the star was Rick Vallin (some of the others may need adjustment or else include more than one star)
- 06:5806:58, 6 February 2024 diff hist +152 Escape (radio program) more linking for the Bagnis
- 06:5406:54, 6 February 2024 diff hist −20 Escape (radio program) →List of episodes: linking some actor names, unlinking "Sire De Malétroit's Door" and fixing spelling of title
- 06:4906:49, 6 February 2024 diff hist +19 Escape (radio program) →List of episodes: linking the Bagnis
- 06:4406:44, 6 February 2024 diff hist −19 DePatie–Freleng Enterprises →Voices: Stan Freberg never worked in any DePatie-Freleng productions (the only Goofy Gophers short produced by the studio, Mel Blanc voiced both gophers)
- 06:4006:40, 6 February 2024 diff hist +132 Thurl Ravenscroft moving Spike Jones album credit from "later career"; chronology is really scattered but that was a 1959 album, shouldn't come after a 1972 movie
- 06:3406:34, 6 February 2024 diff hist −121 Thurl Ravenscroft →Film: not in Nightmare Before Christmas; no source for looping whimper for live dog in Mary Poppins either (pig is sourced by several reliable animation reference books, banker vocals identified on later CD credits)
- 06:3006:30, 6 February 2024 diff hist +9 Casey, Crime Photographer (radio series) name given as Blue Note Cafe in actual episodes when Ethelbert answers the phone; linking announcer Tony Marvin
- 00:5300:53, 6 February 2024 diff hist −86 Roo →Adaptations: taking out incoherent "some people think" sentence current
22 January 2024
- 21:4521:45, 22 January 2024 diff hist +7 Hancock's Half Hour →Radio series: adding "nearly" to Kenneth Williams (since section below contradicts it by pointing out Alan Simpson's nameless minor bit, and a few episodes had other minor characters); some punctuation
12 January 2024
- 19:1219:12, 12 January 2024 diff hist +8 A Mouse Divided →Plot: spelling, trying to amend run on sentence but still needs work; stork character is always drunk in every scene of his cartoons, never sober, so taking out "still drunk"
28 December 2023
- 07:3707:37, 28 December 2023 diff hist +40 List of Gunsmoke cast members re-adding James Nusser to radio; removed back in 2018 as a non notable name, but has a page now
- 07:3107:31, 28 December 2023 diff hist −262 Gunsmoke taking out uncited Arness bit about Kitty and Matt not being married (incorrectly placed in radio section, doesn't fit in TV section as is, and been uncited since June 2022); rewording bit about Doc's TV name later being specifically identified as Galen
27 December 2023
- 05:4705:47, 27 December 2023 diff hist +22 Betty Boop →Performers: linking musical for anyone who missed it above
20 December 2023
- 04:3404:34, 20 December 2023 diff hist −358 Paul Frees →Other voice work: removing Disney repetition, Love and Death credit is incorrect (actually New York voice actor Norman Rose, who worked on other Woody Allen projects)
- 04:3204:32, 20 December 2023 diff hist −205 Paul Frees →Other voice work: more repetition trims, unnecessary POV phrasing (versatile seems more appropriate when noting multiple roles than "talented," legendary Tex Avery not really necessary here), formatting, deleting repetitions from other subheadings like George Pal, specifics not relevant to Paul Frees better covered on the series or film pages, etc
- 04:2204:22, 20 December 2023 diff hist −90 Paul Frees →Disney: more clarifying (the Ghost Host was not in Adventure Thru Innerspace, other corrections or repetition removals)
- 04:1804:18, 20 December 2023 diff hist +2 Paul Frees →Career: clarifying; alternated with William Conrad on Escape, not Suspense; only played Doc Adams once on Gunsmoke, how much of an impersonation it is is kind of up to a listener; none of the cars in The Great Race had voices, other corrections
14 December 2023
- 06:2806:28, 14 December 2023 diff hist +9 Walter Cartier trimming some repetition in section on Phil Silvers Show
