If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at American game show winnings records, you may be blocked from editing. Please stop, or at least explain what you're doing with the changes you're making. Twenty-One is supposed to be spelled out, and your edits are breaking the formatting in the table.

American game show winnings records

Hi, I would rather not take this up at ANI, so I want to at least give you a final chance to explain your edits. What do you believe is "misinformation"?

• Jennings' total? The hidden note says the pennies shouldn't be displayed in the grand total unless it's absolutely necessary in the extremely unlikely case a tiebreaker is needed.
• Barinholtz? He won his Millionaire episode playing alongside his father, so for consistency with the rest of the table, he receives half of that total, or half a million.
• Jeopardy!'s spin-offs are separate programs. Listing them under "Jeopardy!" in the same way as the regular season and tournament play that are part of the syndicated show would be like listing Jennings' Celebrity Wheel of Fortune winnings under regular "Wheel of Fortune." Your edits also introduced an inconsistency as Lisa Ann Walter's winnings still say "Celebrity Jeopardy!", while Barinholtz's are listed under regular Jeopardy! despite the fact that he's appeared on both (separate) programs and won the majority of his total on the celebrity version.
• Finally, can you please explain why you are so insistent on "21"? It's Twenty-One. The linked article and opening title reflects this.

when Barinholtz won $1,000,000 for the asl charity, all of it went to it. Not half. 2nd, it doesn't matter if 21 is spelled out or not. Everyone will still get it. 3rd, there was one time when the jeopardy winnings were all combind & not separated because of spin offs. They are not spin offs, they are tournaments. I just want people to know the truth and look at the real results. If you can't appreciate me for doing the right thing, tuff nubs. Game$howFan (talk) 16:48, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Again, I don't think you're listening to what I'm telling you.

• 1) Barinholtz's win was with his father, therefore it was a team of two winning prize of $1,000,000, not an individual win. To keep it consistent with the rest of the table, Barinholtz is credited with $500,000. It doesn't matter what happens to the money. If it did, we wouldn't include the charity winnings at all.
• 2) Yes, it absolutely does matter if Twenty-One is spelled out, because that is objectively the show's name. It would be like if I changed "Catch 21" to "Catch Twenty-One." You cannot just rewrite how we reference the show by changing it to something it's not. Unless you can provide multiple significant, verifiable sources that refer to it as "21" and want to propose a move, more power to you. But I'm fairly certain they don't exist since, again, the show's name is "Twenty-One."
• 3) There is a difference between Jeopardy! spin-offs and tournaments. The Tournament of Champions, Battle of the Decades, IBM Challenge, All-Star Games, etc. are all tournaments that aired as part of the daily syndicated show. Therefore, those winnings are referenced under "Jeopardy!" The GOAT tournament, Celebrity J!, and Masters are all spin-offs. They air as separate television series and, in most cases, even have their own separate articles on this site. Because the spin-offs, while related, are significantly more different in how they're formatted, I think it makes most sense to keep them separate in the table. Again, other Celebrity spin-offs (Wheel of Fortune, Family Feud, etc.) are treated the same way.
• 4) "Tuff nubs"? Really? What is this, middle school? I appreciate that you think you're "doing the right thing." I'm just trying to keep things civil and explain why the table is formatted the way it is. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:36, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Ike and his father were both playing for the same charity. Therefore, all $1,000,000 went to it. 2nd, when I watched the Jeopardy "spin offs" they were calling it tournaments. Not spin offs. So technically, the winnings on Jeopardy are all the same. Just at least let me update Ike Barinholtz and Jeopardy & I promise I'll leave Twenty-One alone.

Lisa Ann Walter is credited with $125,000 because she played Millionaire with a team of two that won $250,000. Melissa Joan Hart is credited with $5,000 on Celebrity Family Feud because she won $25,000 with a team of five. Like I said, it does not matter what the winning contestants do with the money. Should Alan Barinholtz go on to appear on more shows, would we give both him and Ike credit for the full million dollars simply because they played together for one charity? Do you see how that would result in an inconsistency throughout the rest of the table?

And again, you can call it whatever you want, the fact remains that Celebrity Jeopardy!, Jeopardy! Masters, and Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time are different programs from the original syndicated Jeopardy! that airs five days a week. Since the annual Tournament of Champions is a part of that series, those winnings are included under the regular "Jeopardy!" listing. The others listed above are by definition "spin-offs," whether you heard anyone refer to them on the air as such or not. See this sentence from the Celebrity Jeopardy! article itself, which states "Unlike previous iterations of "Celebrity Jeopardy!", which were special editions of Jeopardy!, Celebrity Jeopardy! is a separate entity, airing in a different time slot while regular episodes of Jeopardy! continue to air as normal." --Bcschneider53 (talk) 18:25, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

yes, Lisa & Rosie did win $250,000. But they each gave $125,000 for there own charities. Since Ike and alan played for the same charity, it recieved $1,000,000. 2nd, Jeopardy masters GOAT, and Celebrity Jeopardy ARE tournaments, that's what the Jeopardy crew call them. Therefore, they are NOT spinoffs. If people want to look at this article, then they can't be lied too. Why can't you just let me tell the world what the real results are?
