Possible hoax

A new editor recently swept through several

Alexandra Devane Marick, and Aidan Devane. I am not familiar enough to with AMC to know if these are real characters or not, so I thought I'd post here to see if someone wants to challenge the info. --Elonka 19:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply

Anna Devane (from GH), and aunt to Aidan. She was played by Finola Hughes on AMC from 1999-2001, at which time Anna popped up in Pine Valley. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65852002o (talk • contribs) 14:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

Comings and Goings

You HAVE provided sources to back-up your claims, which is great. However, Eden Reigal's return has only been rumored. Over at SoapCentral, their "casting changes" section is only updated once a month or so, and since their last update, Regial stated in Soaps In Depth that she wasn't returning. Alec Musser, meanwhile, was only dropped to recurring status. According to many (Magazines, other sites, etc.), he probably won't be seen again. And, last but not least, whenever posting in the comings and goings section, you have to put the actor/actress' status, such as "Debuts, Exits, Returns".70.17.183.28 (talk) 07:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well said.

Beth Ehlers

At this present time, Beth Ehlers should not be credited as Liza Colby. Soap Opera Weekly's cover story this week is that Ehlers has joined as Liza , but the SOD/SOW website states that as they went to press, the higher-ups were not sure if she would be playing that character or a whole other one entirely, so until everything is confirmed, we should leave it as Unknown.

What happened to the page which disscussed present storylines? And can we have storylines throughout the show listed.--Cooly123 17:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs)

End date

For the Original run part on the description, I feel that it should be listed as January 5, 1970-present, as the series will continue to air on the internet, meaning that it's run is not yet over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.99.247 (talk) 20:03, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We cannot put "January 5, 1970-present" on the infobox because such edit would constitute a violation to our
WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL
guideline. The fact of the matter is that All My Children has ended on September 23rd 2011. It will likely return in 2012. But at the present, it is officially ended and nothing guarantees at 100% that it will be back.
We don't include informations about the future on an infobox. Instead, we wait for events to happen and then we updates the infoboxes after they have happenned.
Thank you for your comments. Farine (talk) 21:31, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've been part of the fight to save All My Children since the cancellation notice-so my information on the show's possible relaunch through Prospect Park in January, 2012 may not be official, but it's the best I have at the moment. I will change the article to reflect the tentative date. TroyCO76 (talk) 00:00, 28 September 2011 (UTC)TroyCO76TroyCO76 (talk) 00:00, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your support for the show. But Wikipedia is not a place to voice personnal opinions. Wikpedia is also not a soap opera website and we do not make speculations. Instead, we edit based on facts and reliable evidences. All edits must be verifiable. An edit about a tentative date for AMC relaunch's is acceptable as long as it is backed with sources confirmed by Prospect Park and not some soap website like Soap Opera Network which has an history of making rumors that often turn out to be false.
I kept your latest edit intact because I was able to find a reference confirmed by Prospect Park that they are trying to have the show back for January 2012 and I have also added this reference next to your edit. But if there wouldn't have been any reference for it, we would, unfortunately, have had to delete such entry from the the article because such edit would have contravenes with Wikipedia's mission of verifiability.
Hope I was able to adress your concerns.

If Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball and doesn't include unverifiable information, then why is it that the Prospect Park information is listed right beside the description box and in other places around the article, but it isn't in the description box which would be the first place a reader would look to find the airing information for the show? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.197.127 (talk) 21:15, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't say that All My Children will continue online. The article is reporting an announcement that All My Children is scheduled to go online in January 2012. There is also a section on the article that deals about all things related to this announcement such as which actors have decided to go with the show online, and so on. All of theses informations are totally verifiable. For example, the article mentions that Ryan and Cara have agreed to move online which is totally verifiable, and not that Ryan and Cara will go online. That's an important distinction to make.


What is not verifiable is All My Children going online. So in other words, the Wikipedia article is just reporting an announcement from a well credible source (Reuters). Wikipedia is NOT reporting that All My Children will go online. Adding on the infobox informations about Prospect Park would be a claim that All My Children will definitely continue online which isn't what the article is about.
When you think about it, the infobox of a TV show isn't much different from the profile of a person. If you were writing, let's says, a resume about yourself, would you include infos about the future? Absolutely not. Instead you would limit yourself to informations concerning the past and present. The same thing goes with the infobox of a program on Wiki
Hope I was able to answer your question

Web series debut

Does All My Children qualify for the category

web television since 2013.--DrWho42 (talk) 16:44, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply
]

It's definitely a 2013 web series debut. Whether it qualifies for 2013 television debut, is still up for debate. I don't think it does, since it debuted online 2013, not on TV, and had already been on Tv by the time it first aired on OWN.Caringtype1 (talk) 22:47, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AMC

All My Children is not ALWAYS shortened to AMC. It is only SOMETIMES shortened to AMC. If it was ALWAYS shortened to AMC, the name of the show would be AMC (and it's not). Please stop bullying the newbies by constantly reverting my edits. Cebr1979 (talk) 01:22, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Per the other soap pages, to stay consistent, "often" should be used, since publications and web sites use the abbreviations in their postings. So it is not "sometimes" AMC, it is "often" AMC. livelikemusic my talk page! 01:35, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Both words are good. You're pretending like mine wasn't right but, in actuality, you didn't want any word there at all (and even deleted it twice). Now that you've seen the error of your ways, you're acting like it was your idea all along and you had the right word. Gimme a break.Cebr1979 (talk) 02:17, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Use of often is more accurate in this case; that's why I reverted you.
