Frame Rate (FPS)[edit]

In which frame rate was House of Cards filmed? Especially Season 5? 80.108.8.19 (talk) 23:29, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Emmy-sentence in Intro[edit]

"To date, it has received 33 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for Spacey, and Outstanding Lead Actress for Wright, for each of its first five seasons." This sentence is weird and syntactically ambiguous. Are the listed examples nominations which the series has received for every season of the first five, or has it received 33 nominations for every season? I assume the former.' --80.62.117.85 (talk) 17:07, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

@Radiphus: i read in MOS:TVRECEPTION that "audience viewership (ratings)" is allowed. I added source attribution. Imdb data is good than you look for imdb ratings. It is raw data, without our interpretation. We are not saying that the ratings have dropped because the audience decided to show their attitude to Spacey, or without him series is bad. We say that there is such a popular site, it has such a rating. Better to put in Reception→Critical response→Season 6 section. ·Carn !? 11:35, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, IMDb ratings is not reporting on audience viewership (Nielsen ratings), does it? It's only user-generated content, vulnerable to vote brigading and other factors that render it unreliable. Citing user ratings from IMDb on Wikipedia is discouraged per WP:CITEIMDB#Inappropriate uses #3. You shouldn't put the graph in "Critical response" either, as viewers are not critics. Radiphus (talk) 12:20, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see "This page is an essay" there. And the vote brigading is seen on my chart - it is surplus of votes amount on season 6. I see from that essay that the bad thing to say "Season 6 has a bad rating" and cite it with imdb data. I don't see why it is bad to say "Ratings of episodes on imdb.com" with this chart.

It is WP:SELFPUB here. ·Carn !? 15:04, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We don't use IMDB ratings, they are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Radiphus already mentioned it, but per MOS:TVRECEPTION: This means that IMDb, TV.com, and similar websites that give "fan polls" are not reliable sources of information. Fan reviews are not reliable or notable, we use reviews from professional critics. Drovethrughosts (talk) 15:10, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Joeyconnick: Perhaps I really chose the wrong format for information, but your edit makes the article further from a neutral state, and not closer to it. Tell me the right way to improve the article, please.·Carn !? 08:30, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So no, my revert of your edit back to WP:STATUSQUO doesn't take it farther away from a neutral state: the section already describes the reception to that season as "mixed". It was fine as was. On top of your edit not being grammatically correct, it just lists random negative adjectives with no context. That is pretty clearly WP:UNDUE as if it was described as "mixed" by two major aggregators, then simply listing negative descriptors is unbalanced. —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:14, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?[edit]

The article says "Frank is passed over for appointment as Secretary of State, House Majority Whip.." Um, nooo.... he's passed over for State, but he already IS Majority Whip. ?? 2600:6C50:800:2787:AC29:C112:29FD:347F (talk) 07:44, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
