Talk:List of Nielsen ratings (TRS)/Archive 1

Shorter title, perhaps?

Perhaps we can shorten the title to just "List of Nielsen ratings (RDM)"? The reason being is that the inclusion of "Battlestar Galactica" seems redundant. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 14:13, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Agreed. That would be enough. Having the disambiguation in the middle is kinda weird. --Serenity 14:20, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Done. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:16, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Um, you do realize that virtually no US publication has these kind of lists or tables anymore, don't you? Hopefully Nielsen doesn't mind in this case... ^^ --Pedda 15:18, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, I think we discussed it a while ago. Basically, it falls under Fair Use, in so far as we use it. Also, this information is located in the infoboxes of the Episode Guides themselves, and it hasn't been an issue. Now, if Nielsen does come across our website and wants it taken down, then we'll likely oblige. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:25, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Sources

Although most of these references are likely on the episode pages themselves, the article does need to have references as well. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 11:40, 15 September 2007 (CDT)

Nielsen Galaxy Report

Is there an exact place where it can be found or only through SCI FI Wire? DrWho42 19:31, 12 March 2008 (CDT)

From what I know, Nielsen reports are only provided to certain organizations like the networks and studios, then filtered down to news outlets. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 20:12, 12 March 2008 (CDT)

The Nielsen Galaxy Reports can be seen on SCI FI Wire on Mondays.. Unfortunately it's in a sidebar box, and there's no permanent link to the data.. I have used the Google cache to verify the data that is being recorded in this page. The previous data for the early episodes in Season 4 differs from the 'official' Nielsen number, so those episodes should be changed. -- Jcnventura 12:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Season 4 ratings

NBCU's press release and TV by the Numbers have different numbers for 4.01. It's probably due to the (non-)inclusion of non-live viewers. Which number would compare best to all the others listed on this page? -- Pedda 10:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

In relation to other SCI FI shows

Would it be noteworthy to say whether or not an episode was the highest rated of the week? "He That Believeth In Me" tied with Ghost Hunters but got higher ratings than 10.5: Apocalypse and ECW. [1]--DrWho42 23:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
