Awards and nominations/MOS:ACCESS[edit]

@Fishhead2100: Please quit with the warring and actually discuss the issue- starting the discussion does not automatically fall upon others just because you seem to believe you're right, FYI...

Anyways... as was explained to me (apologies, IJBall...), while the issue has been 'put away', general readability is still the goal, and the use of rowspan isn't super beneficial in that regards. I know I'm awful at explaining things/putting things into my own words, but I know you've had to seen the main answer/comment regarding this. Rowspan is certainly not 'required' in the table in anyway, and at this point it seems like you have three editors disagreeing with those edits. Also going to say I'm fine with whatever is linked (in regards to 'Primetime Emmy Awards' or the year- that part doesn't really matter much at this point).

At this point, some other things I'd like to point out...:

I know you haven't edited the article since September 2019, but I'd rather you not come to my talk page within hours (not even hours, within minutes of this edit) just to tell me everything 'wrong' I'd apparently done. The, "I can say for certain you didn't bother to try and find sources." is actually quite rude (and I know I replied already, but read the full edit summary of mine next time... it should be clear that it's not just because it was unsourced.)
I was trying to be good faith when giving those original replies on my talk page (as well as all the cleanup edits on the article itself), but now your initial talk page comments read off as a bit dismissive and discouraging to myself, seemingly attempting to find all the bad in my cleanup of the article. I know you've been on Wikipedia much longer than myself, but that's certainly no excuse to not assume good faith. ("So you might want to do before telling someone to source"?... Seriously? You added that within 10 minutes of this edit- didn't realize I was going too slow for you.)
It's clear that there is/was cleanup needed on this article, especially when the section previously looked like this. I hope you won't try to interfere more with cleanup, especially when I attempt to fix/cleanup all the episode tables (for reference, see Talk:List of Whose Line Is It Anyway? (American TV series) episodes#Episode table parameters- parameters are being misused, such as using 'title' to display the airdate, 'Viewers' to display special guest stars, etc.)

I apologize that someone other than yourself is trying to do this cleanup, but it's certainly not my fault the article has been in this shape for however many years (and no, I'm not trying to pin the 'blame'/'fault' on you either). Thanks. Magitroopa (talk) 05:41, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Magitroopa: FYI: I wasn't the only one reverting. IJBall was reverting as well. So don't tell me to stop when said user was reverting as well. I have had people come minutes after an edit and leave something on my talk page. Don't take it personally. I edit lots of stuff, so I don't get to everything on my watchlist. Realistically, you don't either. If you must know, I am currently doing a big format for a list which is formatting it to a table. Sorry if not getting to everything everyday is a problem. Now, even if you didn't do the table exactly the way I did it, at least link to the year/edition the awards ceremony was held where it says year. It makes no sense to link it in the award section of the table when that is used to link to the award. Maybe I was a little hasty in your bold removal. When I seen a big part of an article removed, I usually look more closely at it. But this time I didn't which is unlike me. That I apologize for. It was after I left the message that I read your whole edit summary. I do appreciate your edits. Finally, it's hard to find sources for international broadcasting of the show. Nothing about previous networks internationally. I only found one that you can seen here. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 06:00, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
