Nickelodeon (ended 2012)
As I've said before, I'm not going to let it change on Wikipedia. The fact that no one's been saying anything lately and that the user I spoke to regarding why he thought the seasons should merge (regarding the production codes being the same) not saying anything back, this is a good thing. I'm concerned about the people who go to Wikipedia for information. They are familiar with the split and how everything was, so how confusing will it be for them to see how things are looking now with the merged seasons? We have evidence that says a split happened so we can't just discard that and make it seem like it never happened or didn't actually happen because some sources label the airing seasons by their production season cycle label.
It's not up to me but I'm going to fight to keep it the way it is. The evidence I have defending it may not hold up to their standards but that doesn't give them the right to say that it didn't happen. They likely stopped talking because they didn't have anything else to say because of how carried out the discussion had gotten. Plus, Jonadin (the user I responded to) wanted the page to merge under reasons he didn't quite understand regarding the production codes. He wasn't even one of the main discussers anyway and was just some one on there for a single time to vote for a merge or split. I'm going to keep fighting this to make sure a merge doesn't happen so I don't have to revert it if it does get merged. And what does how long they've been on there and many edits they have compared to what I got have to do with this? This is all about understanding how to settle this situation. And to correct you I've been on there for three years, since January 2009. Let's see where the main people stand:
Alec was on there since May 2008
Kevinbrogers was on there since July 2008
Aussie's been on there since November 2005
So I don't see where you got this whole "four to eight years" thing from. It was more like nearly four to six years with them. Plus Jonadin was on there since December 2011. So I don't know why you were making it seem like he was there before me. But I had showed up not too long after Kevin and Alec were there so them being on there a bit longer doesn't make them better than me. They might be held on to Wiki's standards hard enough but they clearly did not understand the circumstances regarding the issue with iCarly and at times were trying countless times to get around the info I provided to help support the fact that the Season 2 production episodes were split off into two airing seasons, especially an interview by Nathan and a Nick press release referencing it in May 2011. Now I'm not sure what you mean by "Mtv just said this iCarly facebook just changed it to season 5" because I don't recall the iCarly facebook ever having an episode list on there.
I know what MTV said, but there was also what you had said regarding what that Spin or Bin music company said saying Season 6 and what Miranda said saying Season 6, both on behalf of how it's going to air as. It's a confusing situation but the use of the production labels don't discard the airing season cycle. I know we dragged on Wikipedia into the discussion, but isn't this how you started this thread anyway because of what was said on this show's talk page? If you ask me Dan's blogs in general and the Nathan interview are reliable enough because it's from the people who work on the show and would know about the situation more. The network people are never going to say anything out-front and only have their press to talk for them. And as far as I'm concern, we have a press article eight months ago referencing it, listing all 2xx coding episodes on a DVD collection set and I quote for their statement: "From Season 2 and Season 3" which wouldn't make sense by itself it wasn't for Dan's blog or Nathan's interview going further into it. They had a press article prior to this one on behalf of the show being renewed the fifth season to air in 2012 and stated how the "fourth season" was going to start in May 2011.
I think I got some help on the issue. I will see if I get a reply. I guess I some what did but that was to see about something else anyway.
