Please fill me in here. I am updating an Emmy listing with information from their own release. Nothing more has been added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ariuzi (talk • contribs)
You're trying to promote your own company by claiming it has won an Emmy when it's not mentioned on the list of award winners for 2002. This is not acceptable behaviour on Wikipedia, and if you continue to insert promotional material, your contributions will be removed and you will be blocked from editing. Demiurge 00:33, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You do need to be an Academy member to access the full records for past Emmy winners. I can suggest that you go to variety.com and check out the 2002 release put out by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for Technical Emmy Winners. You will find TM Systems for the creation of the "Digital Solution to Language Translation, Dubbing and Subtitling". Simply go to the Variety site and search for TM Systems...you will find it listed among the proud 2002 winners, just three months after the technology was introduced. You can also varify by calling the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in North Hollywood, CA., or requesting a list of 2002 Technical Emmy Winners from the Emmy Magazine website. This is not "promotional" material, simply a correction to the list of winners. You have excluded one of the most important winners of that year. This is easily confirmed.
Hi, anything I can help you with? Bjelleklang - talk 01:31, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Please. I was a member of the judging committee for 2002 and when I saw the listing for the winners in the Technical Emmy category, I saw it was incomplete. Being a "first timer" with Wikipedia I know that perhaps I may have made some mistakes in working the Wiki way, however listing TM Systems, for the development of the "Digital Solution to Language Translation,Dubbing & Subtitling" was not a mistake. It was a completion of the 2002 Technical Emmy Award Winners. You may call the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, in North Hollywood, CA., to confirm, or simply google it. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ariuzi (talk • contribs)
If you're on the judging committee, maybe you can explain why the 2002 list of winners doesn't include TM Systems? Can you also explain who all the other accounts making the same edits as you are, at least one of whom has the same name as a TM Systems employee? Demiurge 19:38, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
TM Systems is most certainly a winner. When word got around to our committee, it was suggested that we all get on the bandwagon to correct the issue. We try and stand by all of our winners. I suggest that more than 2002 and 2004 be included as this is a very prestigious acknowledgement.
Yes, this was first brought to our attention by an employee of TM Systems. Are they not entitled to correct a mistake on Wikipedia, or at the very least, ask someone else to do so?
So the probelm with Demiurge is that it was an employee of TM Systems that first noticed the elimination. Remember, all of the newcomers to the Wikipedia site are not as adept in Wikipedia rules. Perhaps they did "jump the gun" to make the correction, but once they were told that they could not make the correction as a member of the company whose information needed to be corrected...they asked qualified, knowledgable people to do so. That was done, I belive, according to Wikipedia rules...and TM Systems is most definately a 2002 Emmy Award Winner.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ariuzi (talk • contribs)
If you can just fix the PDF on your website to contain the correct information, that would be the quickest way to clear this problem up. Or even just put up a note on the site saying that they were accidentally omitted from the list of winners. Once that's done, I'll put the information back in the article myself. Demiurge 19:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please provide me with exactly what you are asking us to do. Fix the PDF on the TM Systems website? To read what please? I do not understand and I do appreciate your help here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ariuzi (talk • contribs)
I'm asking you to modify the 2002 list of winners on your website to include the name of "TM Systems" as an Emmy winner, because it doesn't contain their name at the moment. Since you're on the Emmy Awards committee, this should be fairly straightforward for you to arrange. Demiurge 19:58, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have asked the Emmy webmaster to do so and will find out when it has been updated.
FYI, the link above is for the National Academy. The ATAS or Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is the distributor of Prime Time Emmy Awards and you'll see that the list on the National Academy, or NATAS link above does not include any of the ATAS winners. We were all going crazy trying to determine what the problem was here, but that is it. Apparently the existing ATAS site only goes back to 2003. I am still working with the webmaster on this, however I can give you all of the support links that include the actuall Academy announcement of the 2002 winners, or you can simply call them directly.
What a good question! No, the Engineering Awards are not on the website, but they soon will be as a download under the Primetime Awards section. Thanks for bringing this serious omission to my attention!!
I suspect your colleague looked up the NATAS Technical Awards. As you know NATAS and ATAS both do tech awards, and ATAS' history would not be included with theirs.
Happy New Year to you, too!
Best,
John

Philip John Greenstreet
The Roscolite scenic backing uses digital manipulation of photographic images and computer painting technology, combined with traditional theatrical backdrop techniques.
The result is a backing which displays a smooth transition from day to night as its illumination is crossfaded from front to back. Roscolite backings thus provide a flexible creative tool, which also saves time, money and stage space.
Since their first use on 1993’s “NYPD Blue”, Roscolites have appeared in literally hundreds of television shows, both as custom backings and as rentals, including many 2004 Emmy nominees.

Dolby LM 100 Broadcast Loudness Meter With Dialogue Intelligence
Dolby Laboratories
The result of years of research into loudness estimation, the Dolby® LM100 Broadcast Loudness Meter with Dialogue IntelligenceTM helps solve the problem of loudness-level inconsistencies in broadcast programming. Dialogue Intelligence was developed specifically to measure the perceived loudness of speech, which research shows to be the major factor in television volume adjustment by viewers. The LM100 presents its measurements in an easy-to-understand numerical format, eliminating the variations commonly found when using VU or PPM meters, neither of which were designed to measure subjective loudness. Applications range from postproduction and quality control to final transmission, program turnaround, and cable head-end facilities.
The First 24P Digital Imaging System
Emmy Awards to Sony Corporation and Panavision
The Sony/Panavision HDW-F900; a.k.a. Panavised F900, is the world's first digital 24P imaging system that combines high quality optics, cutting edge digital signal processing and storage in one package. The Sony HDW-F900 digital camcorder was extensively customized by Panavision to meet the requirements of the most discerning cinematographers, and mounted to a new generation of high quality optics that were specifically developed for the Panavised F900. The first productions made by the Panavised F900 were “Vidocq” (director Pitof) and “Starwars Episode-II Attack of the clones” (director George Lucas). Ever since, the HDW-F900 has become the benchmark camera for multi-camera TV sitcoms, documentaries, and independent movie production.
2005
