Talk:Fred Grossinger

Game show host

On 3 January 2008, Steam5 said in the edit summary that "He did not host a game show on his appearance" and removed the category "American game show hosts". However the imdb entry for "Girl in My Life" (1973) shows that he was the host of that program. Does Steam5 have a more reliable source that contradicts that? Or does Steam5 have problems with the fact that "Girl in My Life" was only loosely a "game show", even though the contestants did walk away with prizes? --Bejnar (talk) 04:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't know who is Fred Grossinger and I don't know the show "Girl in My Life". And I believe the show "Girl in My Life" is not a game show. It was a non-fiction and a classic reality show. According to Internet Movie Database. I'm telling you it is not a game show. Please do not send me a message. Steam5 (talk) 05:28, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

According to another website, faqs.org, It was a loosely or a half game show. It was on "List of U.S. game shows". I apologize for my disagreement on a game show. On the previous mesaage just ignore the previous message. So, I apologize for my disagreement. Steam5 (talk) 06:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

So I have reinstated the category "American game show hosts". --Bejnar (talk) 06:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Notes and References

Notes and References are different. See Wikipedia:Citing sources#General references versus inline citations. In this case Weiskind, Ron (29 November 1995) "Fred Holliday: Actor who feasted on commercials" Pittsburgh Post-Gazette page B-6 is not an external link, it is the major general reference for information about Fred Grossinger. It also occurs as the specific source for a couple of in-line citations that are footnotes (Notes). Other sources also appear in the footnotes that are not general references. --Bejnar (talk) 05:05, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
