Real reality?

[edit]

Is this show 100% unscripted reality? I've watched a few episodes and, while i realise that people in this world can be intrinsically fake, it seems to me some scenes were scripted. For example: some sellers are complete caricatures and people who lost their temper would probably tell the cameras to stop filming and not do a testimonial after they walked away. It's been a trend for many "reality shows" to actually be partially scripted and feature actors so these shows don't deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore. As far as I'm concerned this show gets a comment along the lines of "this show might contain scripted scenes or actors, no information has been provided on that" PizzaMan (♨♨) 04:16, 19 December 2016 (UTC) PizzaMan (♨♨) 04:16, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a comment that it's mostly scripted. Not sure if i should also add this reference. It's very clarifying but it's about the LA show. [1] PizzaMan (♨♨) 04:40, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the comment as you've written it is appropriate. Some scenes may be scripted or faked, but I don't think it is appropriate to put it in the lead in such a loaded way. -- Whats new?(talk) 05:21, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've done my best to summarize the reference. Please improve in stead of reverting. PizzaMan (♨♨) 12:56, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The referencing is bad because the source is unreliable. You must find a better source, and also write more than one sentence, with quotes and specific examples, not in general way. The statement you added is confusing. Mymis (talk) 01:15, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The source is the first one i came across.§ Please provide a better source that the series is NOT partially scripted or let the comment stand. PizzaMan (♨♨) 23:03, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Saying that the source was the first one you came across does not make it reliable. If you wish to add it, you must write more than one sentence with quotes and specific examples, as I said. Do NOT revert my edit, because you would eventually be blocked, per WP:3RR. Mymis (talk) 23:10, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nor does you saying the source is unreliable make it unreliable just because you say so. I think the line of reasoning is solid. But even if you don't feel that way, if you even read it, why not improve by looking for a better source? The article (now?) also has a NY Times reference on how fake the show is. There's no excuse for you to sensor away how fake the show is with such a reference. You could have just added the reference from the NY Times and improved my writing if you don't like it, if you wanted to productively make WP better. PizzaMan (♨♨) 23:21, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence that you're trying to add is confusing and gives very little information, and no need to add it in the introduction either. It is a controversial statement, so you must add reliable sources, from NY Times or whatever, write more than one sentence, add specific examples and quotes, in a new section "Reception" or something like that. And I have no interest in working on this article, and making WP better is removing misleading statements like the one you're trying to add. Also, please read WP:CSECTION. Mymis (talk) 01:06, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently your opinion is an absolute fact just because you say so and mine is irrelevant. Ever heard of collaborating? PizzaMan (♨♨) 20:53, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
