Zoo Cops[edit]

Zoo Cops is not the series finale (final episode). The person on Toonzone meant it was the last produced episode of Season 1, not of the series as a whole.LocalSents447 (talk) 04:55, 23 June 2011 (UTC)LocalSents447[reply]

Problem Solverz Not Cancelled[edit]

I am the Production Assistant for The Problem Solverz, and I can confirm that the show is not cancelled. We are still in production creating new episodes. Zoo Cops was just the last episode of season 1. Adamrobo (talk) 18:23, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide valid proof that you are involved in the show's production. MegastarLV (talk) 18:28, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a new user to Wikipedia. What kind of documentation would be appropriate? Adamrobo (talk) 18:31, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A source from the show's official website stating that the show will be renewed for another season is the documentation we are looking for. MegastarLV (talk) 18:34, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The official website will never supply that kind of information. Just because a studio has not yet announced renewal information does not mean a show has ended. The original source that the editor claimed was the ToonZone forums, which I wouldn't think would qualify as having official information. Adamrobo (talk) 18:40, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can view the Problem Solverz page on the Cartoon Network site (http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/theproblemsolverz/index.html?atclk_gn=link_shw_The-Problem-Solverz) to see that there is no indication that the show has ended. If you click on the new episodes link, you will see two more episodes scheduled. They are reruns, but this is only because the second season hasn't started airing yet. Adamrobo (talk) 18:47, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's not valid proof, They did that when Robotomy what ever the heck the name is when that got cancelled, So that's invalid, Sorry trolls who love this show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GuySmiley101 (talk • contribs) 20:27, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Season delayed[edit]

From The Problem Solverz's Facebook official page (https://www.facebook.com/TheProblemSolverz#!/TheProblemSolverz/info) I've found this only source: (https://www.facebook.com/TheProblemSolverz#!/photo.php?fbid=376316252436681&set=a.138755752859400.26206.135969926471316&type=1&theater). This source confirm that the new season of the show, previously scheduled on September 24, 2012, it's only delayed for line-up issues. Despite this on the same page, always browsing on it, there is no confirmation of cancellation of the show. Luigi1090 (talk) 18:47, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have a few problems with the information you're attempting to keep on the page:

1) There is no clear indication that this is the "official page". It may very well be, but the information that's there is so poorly written, that it reads like a fan page.

UPDATE: Hi, I see that you've linked to the /info page of the Facebook account. That doesn't clear it up, because anybody can create a FB group and call it the "official" page of whatever they want. If there was a link to the FB page from, say, Cartoon Network, or from the Paper Rad main site calling it their "official" page... Or if a reputable media news source, like Variety or The Hollywood Reporter linked to it... Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:44, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2) I know you have invested a great deal on this page, and I also know that English may not be your first language, but the information that is posted on the page does not make sense in English. No disrespect is intended, and I'll help you where I can, but in its current format, it is unintelligible.

3) Just because *you* don't know when the show will air, doesn't mean that the information is "unknown". That's original research. The president of the studio, or people in the programming department presumably knows when/if the show will air. Also bear in mind that the "official source" isn't in charge of making decisions, and they are often the LAST people to know about the fate of their show.

So I'm going to assume that this is the "official Facebook page", although I'd like to see a reference that proves that. And I'm going to modify the language of that paragraph to more closely reflect what the Facebook page says. But if another editor cuts it because they don't like the Facebook page reference, that's the end of it. Don't forget that Wikipedia isn't a TV guide or a collection of rumors, "even if from reliable sources." See WP:CRYSTALBALL Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:28, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New Season delayed: Part 2[edit]

Hi, Cyphoidbomb. I've read all your message, and I say this to you. Always from the same official Facebook page of the show, I found other evidence confirming that this new season only postponed (that is, the sources before the official one that I posted earlier in my first space in this talk page, https://www.facebook.com/TheProblemSolverz#!/photo.php?fbid=376316252436681&set=a.138755752859400.26206.135969926471316&type=1&theater) had been previously confirmed and officially announced in 2012. The sources are as follows (the ultimate source is rather true for two sentences written in it):

Luigi1090 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:37, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Luigi, I'm having trouble understanding your recent Talk Page edits. It would be more helpful to the discussion if, instead of editing the stuff you posted weeks ago, if you'd start a new paragraph and note any new information that way. Secondly, are you the one who runs that Problem Solverz Facebook page? I'm having trouble believing that page is an official source. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:52, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cyphoidbomb. I'll tell you a few things. Start by saying personally that I am not one of the administrators or a member of that Facebook page of the show (in fact I have never registered on Facebook) but a simple Wikipedia user; I after I posted my first space on the talk page (to post the source which officially declared that the new season of the show was postponed due to line-up issues problems, https://www.facebook.com/TheProblemSolverz#!/photo.php?fbid=376316252436681&set=a.138755752859400.26206.135969926471316&type=1&theater) and then read your message on the talk, I had tried a few weeks ago to answer it on the talk page of the show that in one of your account, but I never received a response from you. Then that Facebook page of the show is really official, just look and read carefully this source (https://www.facebook.com/TheProblemSolverz#!/TheProblemSolverz/info), and the three sources that I posted are mean and note that this season has been repeatedly confirmed and officially announced in 2012, and are the sources before this (https://www.facebook.com/TheProblemSolverz#!/photo.php?fbid=376316252436681&set=a.138755752859400.26206.135969926471316&type=1&theater). Finally, those two sentences I wrote the last of the three (https://www.facebook.com/TheProblemSolverz#!/photo.php?fbid=348681111866862&set=a.138755752859400.26206.135969926471316&type=1&theater), are taken from there to show that the same Facebook page (as well as being official) is also very close (perhaps for the administrator) at the same Cartoon Network.

Cancellation revisited[edit]

I've been reverting submissions for this series' assumed cancellation date, as none of the submissions are supported by a reliable source. Unless there is a conflicting Wikipedia policy about the submission of end dates for TV series that seem to be cancelled, it is my argument that series end dates need to be backed up with a reference. Simply not being aired for N-months doesn't prove cancellation, though I believe that this is a fundamental flaw with the last_aired field. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:15, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Too Mind-blowingly Cute[edit]

Editors have on a few occasions submitted that Adult Swim rejected "Neon Knome" for being "too mind-blowingly cute". My understanding is that this explanation appeared in an on-air Adult Swim bumper/promo/interstitial as trivia, and tongue-in-cheek trivia at that. "Mind-blowingly cute" is clearly a self-serving peacock phrase that probably wouldn't appear in reliable secondary sources, and as such should be excluded from the article. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:36, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Problem Solverz (UNCUT)[edit]

I really wonder if there really IS an uncut version of the Problem Solverz. What if there was? They might not show it on Adult Swim, they're just gonna show it on the USA version of CNX. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.8.27.98 (talk) 01:10, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request for Redirect[edit]

As you can see Neon Knome was redirected here, however the redirect doesn't appear to be working.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Knome Can someone with the power to edit this page redirect the article properly?

Thank you. --108.211.193.185 (talk) 23:22, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done - A late reply, but this was fixed on May 2, 2013 after a page protection request was processed. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:38, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@23W: Sorry, I had other stuff going on, and then I decided to wait until the third round of the GA Cup began. Here are my comments. Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 00:58, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Instead of "from Cartoon Network", I would say "which aired on Cartoon Network".
You can remove "problem-solving" as that's what detectives are by definition
"Jones is a member of the art collective Paper Rad." This sentence comes out of nowhere, and I don't see how it's relevant.
I notice nothing about the series' cancellation from CN's or Netflix's schedules, both in the lead and the article. Could you include something?
What do you mean that the characters were created "as a response"?
"For television Jones..." how is this relevant, particularly to what you were just discussing?
It's up to you, but I wouldn't add that Adult Swim is the nightly division of the network.
"The plan was pulled off..." A lot of things wrong here. First, this phrasing is informal. Also, what "plan", and who was involved? I'm confused.
"Writing was the lengthiest facet" I'm a bit confused
It seems like critics have noted the bright art style, but unless a specific one has made the comparison to Paper Rad, I would remove that part from the image caption.
Remove the clause "Rather than battle it" and separate the two remaining independent clauses with a semicolon.
I would add the critical consensus back at the top of "Reception".
Your refs are impeccable. For an article of this length, I don't think I've seen such consistently reliable and well-formatted sources. None of them are broken. Nice job on that!
- Johanna I think I've provided for all comments. Thank you so much for reviewing! I think my referencing skills are all muscle memory at this point, heh. 23W 01:56, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@23W: Wonderful work. Pass. Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 02:18, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merger[edit]

I proposed that List of The Problem Solverz episodes be merged here because the series is too short-lived (2 seasons) to garner a separate page. Possibly leftover from before it was cancelled in 2013. 165.91.12.212 (talk) 02:50, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Normally S2 is the trigger for the creation of a List of episodes article, but since it's only 8 eps, it could be integrated into the main article, which itself is not terribly long. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:13, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"In other media"[edit]

Right now there is a section for "In other media" with only one entry, referring to Alfe's very brief background appearance in "Crossover Nexus". I'm not sure this is notable enough to be on the page (every Cartoon Network original in history appeared at some point in the special, if I'm not mistaken) and since I'm not aware of any other media appearances, I think the section should be removed. Thoughts? Hammill Ten (talk) 20:38, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
