Actor articles[]
Hey! Next time you create an article on an actor, please make sure to use existing articles as templates. You keep missing a number of important stuff, such as certain categories and defaultsort tags. Thank you! Season Fourteen (talk) 21:41, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- Also, next time you do so, please be sure to include the actor/actress's full name and/or birth-date if they're available. This is especially true for famous actors such as Idris Elba. Thank you. Season Fourteen (talk) 06:34, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- You're still not doing it. That wasn't supposed to be a question. Season Fourteen (talk) 19:51, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Just be sure to remember next time. Season Fourteen (talk) 07:34, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
Proper Edits and Maintenance[]
Maybe you've seen my added pages and page edits. Do you have pointers and concerns you'd rather share so what I'm doing is directed better? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 17:56, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
- From what I can tell, it seems like you are doing a lot. So thank you? Alsocal (talk) 04:15, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- It seemed better to ask you with the proofing you were doing on my activity. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 06:59, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not recalling anything in particular I was proofing of yours. Got an example? Alsocal (talk) 16:21, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
- I more recall little things like spelling and grammar, I don't know about fact of content or incomplete formatting like a lack of a profile image. I just don't know what your ideal focuses would be. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 18:46, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
- Would you be alright with adding John Patrick Amedori to your needed pages list? And for Bo Dietl, may I suggest his official Wikipedia page? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 15:18, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Added, though surprised you are using my list (mine is just a freehand list with no rhyme or reason). And for every person who appears, they should have a page on this wiki along with a link to their Imdb and wikipedia if they have one. I like the way the Arrow wiki does it, but I'm not at the point where I can edit the templates to add wikipedia as a field: https://arrow.fandom.com/wiki/Jesse_L._MartinAlsocal (talk) 16:24, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Using, no. I kept seeing it, and I was compelled to note after seeing Dietl's name and already knowing Amedori from other credits. Would you rather I help more and all, what with creating the articles for the characters while you make the cast and crew pages? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 19:33, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- My mistake. I just thought you were using my list since you were looking at it. Do whatever you want whether it be actors or characters or places (which I am realizing are probably way more neglected); this is a wiki after all, we're all here to contribute (except the spam bots of course). I just find it easier working on actors/crew than characters since I can refer back to wikipedia or imdb or something else for them, whereas I have to rewatch an episode and take notes, etc. to make a good character page, which you seem to enjoy more than I do. Maybe I'll write a few character pages for Organized Crime since that seems to be neglected at the moment. You seem to be contributing a lot either way which is appreciated. P.S. On pointers for characters, I don't know if we've agreed on verb tense but I kind of assumed everything happened in past tense.- Alsocal (talk) 20:24, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, past and present tense in character and episode pages can be hard to decided. Different wikis and users use different tenses. And actually, I go by transcripts or search engines to find the information I need. That's where I found all the headline rips I left on lists, certainly the ones that were all erased. I'm not certain on all of them, but several, yes. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 04:31, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

I have one actor page to request in your list: James Hong is a celebrated actor, especially in Asian-American and Asian pop culture history. He also is an official for an association for such performance arts, he definitely should have that in his page. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 01:47, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Nice find. Added to the list. Now I just need to get back to working through it at some point. Alsocal (talk) 03:47, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, I've seen several of his performances, he really is a legend. I do apologize for adding to your load, I hope to at least help with your list. James Hong is an actor who shouldn't be left out. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 07:12, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oh I agree and no worries on the work. This is still just a fun side project anyway. Alsocal (talk) 18:48, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, thank you. On that note, Michael Rooker in "Executioner" is in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and reappears with many performers in The Bone Collector and I believe The Walking Dead. Molly Ephraim in "Tango" made it to Last Man Standing, Tim Allen's show. And Oscar Isaac in "The Healer", I don't need to go into much detail, many people know him. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 20:27, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks and added. Alsocal (talk) 23:23, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Spencer Grammer in "Infected" is the daughter of Frasier lead actor Kelsey Grammer. You don't need to let me know you added her name if it adds more pressure. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 00:16, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Law And Order[]
Ur name is awesome so Im curious if u hav every law and order program on fre internet becuz I hav questions about vague events?(Terminator12345678910 (talk) 16:53, 25 June 2021 (UTC)).
- Thanks. No I don't. I've been DVRing the show on free to air TV using Plex, which is how I've gotten into the show. They do however post some old clips on Youtube, but it's not full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaXHvBP-pM99x6rF86fqN1Q. I do want to post a few old clips on the pages so people know which episodes they are from though, but need to figure out how. Alsocal (talk) 21:10, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello alsocal sorry I have questions too hopefully are you and terminator12345678910 huge fans of every law and order program?(JimWilson500 (talk) 01:15, 26 June 2021 (UTC)).
Robert Goren[]
Hi, I'm just wondering did you read this article about Vincent D'Onofrio reprises his role as Robert Goren on Showtime's Work in Progress Season 2 episode "Oh Say Can You See", because the show's creator Abby McEnany is a longtime Vincent fan. https://screenrant.com/work-in-progress-vincent-donofrio-interview
- No, I haven't. Thank you for sharing. Seems like a good thing to put in like trivia sections of actors/character pages, kind of like the listed non-canon appearances for John Munch. Alsocal (talk) 16:23, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
Here is the clip of the episode, featuring Vincent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaH3Gq7YlFU
- Cool, I saw you added the episode in the non-canon portion. I added it to the trivia section as well along with the links for references: https://lawandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Robert_Goren?type=revision&diff=181098&oldid=181078Alsocal (talk) 00:42, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
Law & Order Returns[]
Did you hear the news: Law & Order is coming back for 21st Season with Writer and Showrunner Rick Eid and I'm so happy. I hope that they'll bring back Sam Waterston!
Here are the news sources: https://deadline.com/2021/09/law-order-revival-nbc-season-21-dick-wolf-rick-eid-1234846181/ https://tvline.com/2021/09/28/law-order-season-21-reboot-nbc-renewal-cast-premiere-date/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/law-and-order-revived-season-21-nbc-1235022174/
- I just heard and I am looking forward to it. I hope they bring back Waterston too, but not as the DA (I kind of hope he's like a law professor or just someone who drops by the DA office or even just someone the DA likes to call or something); I did appreciate him coming back for Ben Stone's funeral in SVU though. It'll be interesting to see who they bring back; Peter Stone and Barba but might be interesting to see as defense attorneys like Robinette (and bring him back too). Alsocal (talk) 00:20, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
Shan Wu[]
May you kindly tell me why you erased the links I left to Shanlon Wu, please? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 01:20, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Because it wasn't clear to me why you linked to that particular lawyer when there probably a few who go from prosecutor to defense. Alsocal (talk) 02:28, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- I admit I didn't extensively search, but he seemed to fit as a more recent example given his career. I guess I should've considered he sooner defense college students. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 02:50, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
Probability[]
I'm asking you because I don't know if the admins will get back to me: there was another ripped from the headlines insurance fraud scandal listed under the episode in the list. The page's history's too large for me to find easily. Did you see it, do you remember what it is? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 09:46, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry I looked at the history and didn't see it and I don't really remember. Maybe I'll dig in a little later, but nothing is obvious to me at the moment. Alsocal (talk) 16:27, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- So I've never seen this episode (I have not really watched much of CI to be honest), but this seemed like the closest thing based on the summary of the plot: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cruel-insurance-scam-charged/. That said I've never seen the episode, and this article came out like months after the episode aired. There might have been stories like this months before, but I didn't find them. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alsocal (talk • contribs).
- I didn't mean to stress you with looking through the history, I'd have been fine with the responsibility of a search so you wouldn't have more work. Thanks for trying. It's no big deal, I just know there were two insurance fraud refs in that episode, now there's one. I wondered if the other one actually was for Scourge. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 21:21, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- No worries. It didn't stress me out at all (I find this kind of research relaxing to be honest). Alsocal (talk) 23:00, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- You and me both. It's productive, especially when finished. Thanks for reassuring me. Actually, that's the precise ring that's listed in the headlines rips list. I just remember seeing another one below it and wonder what it is. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 23:06, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

I just figured out what's likely my mistake: along with the fraud in that episode, there's a fraud in the one just above it on the list. Either my eyes or the users editing the list mixed them up by putting them in the same box. If not, I don't know what to expect. But that seems plausible now.

Character articles[]
Hey! Whenever you create a character article, please leave behind DEFAULTSORT tags and the appropriate categories as well. Thank you. Season Fourteen (talk) 06:21, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- If you also want to pitch into character and actor page data, if you have more than one image for the same character, please be sure to either add to the respective gallery or create one under "Category:Character Images". This will assist in the future for organization on the site. Ryanfellowsfitts23 has also been notified. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 07:16, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
YouTube Videos[]
Congratulations! You're able to put your videos up! I don't know if the amins would want you to make the thumbnails smaller, or if they should go on episode pages an not character pages, but it's wonderful to see you got the approvals you needed to add more information! ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 10:16, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. I should probably work on smaller sizes for the thumbnails. Will take a look around fandom and see what sizes are more common. I'll also have to see if they can be integrated into the galleries feature (my gut says no, but might be worth playing in the sandbox to see/asking fandom for help): https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Galleries As for episodes and characters, if the video works for both, I'd say it should be on both.Alsocal (talk) 18:04, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- You're off to a great start! You seem willing to take the rest in steps! ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 19:20, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
Video Clips and Headline Rips[]
Hey there! I hoped to note you as one of my first actions on the site after I got back from a week-long ban. Just in time for Christmas, coincidentally. I'd like to thank you first for the Ripped from the Headlines edits you made. They look great, it's a huge help and one of them I couldn't even argue as accurate, so thank you for finding and composing them the best way to keep them on the list. I also noticed you're adding more videos to character and episode pages of clips from episodes, which is great content expansion. I admit it's my own worries where it's likely not yours, but I dread other users, admins especially, won't like for very long how any places the same videos are left and the sizes of the thumbnails. If it ever becomes a problem, I just hope to offer suggestions. If there are objections to you spreading the thumbnails across various pages, likely keep them on episode pages, or at least if they're also on character pages, they should be positioned under its own section at the bottom of the page. Or at least either way, the thumbnails should definitely be the smaller size you wre using before. Which addresses my other worry about concerns, if it's too large or clutters the page because of size. If you need to defend your activity, hoping this helps. I'll especially pitch in to categorize the videos in content cateogries, you can be in charge or leave to me and correct any details you prefer specifically. Whatever works best. Thanks again, nice to be reaching you once again. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 08:04, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- For the record, since you started adding clips, you've generally been doing great organizing and formatting them into pages. I don't know if the admins would want you to make gallery headers for episode and character pages if wrapping the links around text is a problem. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 00:40, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah I think Galleries would be great and I was attempting to do that with The Five Hundredth Episode, but they don't seem supported in the new video tool fandom came out with and the one I think Fandom would want us to use ( https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:EmbedVideo ). Their older video method supported galleries, which I could switch back to if we wanted to make it work: https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Video_embed_tool. Maybe this is good feedback for renegeade or spongebob since they work at Fandom (or at least seem closer to fandom engineering) or someone else? Alsocal (talk) 00:48, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- I just saw you don't use embed formatting. Well, it shouldn't be a problem, the only other potential issue is the wrap-around text. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 12:33, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
You'll have to go through recent changes. Your videos are being erased again. Maybe make a video gallery for them in a section of the episode pages? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 07:53, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah probably a good idea. Alsocal (talk) 17:37, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Template Changes[]
I was wondering if you or your other administrators are going to change the Law & Order characters template, because Kevin Bernard takes over his former partner Cyrus Lupo's role as a Senior Detective and Frank Cosgrove takes over Bernard's former role as Junior Detective!
- I'm actually not an admin (though maybe I should go for it), but I can help with updating the template. Let me take a look.Alsocal (talk) 00:36, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Alright I made the fix to Template: L&O Characters. Thanks for pointing that out. Alsocal (talk) 00:51, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
Mam Smith[]
If you make her article, I know she's an actress in Game and a stunt double in Pursuit at the very least. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 04:40, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- I hadn't put her on my list. Seems like she also served as Kelli Giddish's stunt double too (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1828325/). That said I hadn't planned on adding her page, but maybe I will.Alsocal (talk) 05:07, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Gary and Darlene Sutton[]
Would you mind doing a favor at my behest? May you please find the clip from Folly at the end with the couple's confessions? I need proof of what I wrote in the duo's pages. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 07:07, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hey there. They posted the video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_pfg8_EpDU I can post this on their pages too (maybe over the weekend). Alsocal (talk) 05:52, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- That's the video. Yes definitely, in the episode page or merged in with the Suttons, please do encode it in so it proves my edits. The confession reveals another crime that keeps getting erased from the couples' pages, that video proves it. Also, do you know a serial killer couple responsible for beating men, the husband doing the crimes while the wife watches? It's a motif that's been used before, I know it's based on something but I cant find it. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 06:13, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah I don't know where the Sutton stuff is inspired from (if it was by real events). One day...Alsocal (talk) 20:44, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Sorry If It Got Weird For You[]
Whitney Wolfe isn't the only woman who filed a lawsuit. If you're going to be more specific, is there a problem with adding all the plantiffs? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 05:13, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- I mentioned Wolfe because she founded Bumble and Cress in the episode tries to start another dating app as well. There might be another way to phrase it, but I wanted to mention Bumble for sure.Alsocal (talk) 05:42, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- I rephrased it slightly. Alsocal (talk) 05:54, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
I can see why. Makes sense, yes, but I figured both lawsuits were fit into the episode while mixed with some other rip I have yet to find. Looks like Season Fourteen finalized your edit, and it looks good, so I guess we're covered. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 06:44, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
Deleted Scenes[]
Have you gotten to repost all the deleted scenes you hoped to? I know there are more out there, so do you also have more the site doesn't know about in store? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 13:10, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- I need to repost the ones from the 500th episode of SVU, but I think I posted what I wanted to post so far in terms of deleted scenes. I can always do more, but like the stuff I put on my about page, it's ongoing.Alsocal (talk) 17:26, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
It's going great! I can lead to more videos if you want, and just the YouTube account too! Peacock made a namesake account for the franchise with clips that include deleted scenes! ...Oh wait, you already know. Haha, my bad. Well, I'll be here if you need me to help you or at least the task. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 20:29, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Sure any help would be great. Do you know how to post them or do you need guidance?Alsocal (talk) 20:40, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
References[]
Hey, a really quick notice. I don't know how much longer the admins will be fine with you providing URLs and descriptions for references in episode pages. You seem like you're doing great so far, but how I've seen it is the source coding for links in the wiki or Wikipedia, and it has to be precise. Any other references just need to be listed as plain text, but maybe your reference formatting will stay. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 19:12, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah to be fair the references have been sort of tough to sort through. There can be a lot of overlap between that and background and notes sometimes (at least when I see it sometimes) and probably needs to be more clear sometimes (or even more obvious sections like court cases cited, blah blah). I do think if we had more episode summaries, then we wouldn't just throw everything in background and references. That and we could probably do a better job adding pages beyond just characters and might be able to cite repeat case laws and phrases on this wiki itself, but we'll see. Alsocal (talk) 19:25, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
RFTH entries[]
Hey Alsocal! I'm Chris, a Fandom Wiki Representative for this wiki. I noticed you added a submission to the List of Ripped from the headlines submissions. In the Discussion
section of some of the others, would you be able to leave a comment on if you feel they should be added to the articles? Are you interested in doing that? We just want to get some community involvement so we can decide if they can be added. This isn't mandatory and don't feel forced, just an idea. Thanks! :D --Spongebob456 talk 12:06, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hey Spongebob456. I'll see if I can leave a comment on a few of those. Let me see. Alsocal (talk) 03:47, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- You're a star, thank you! Just want to get some conversation going as to whether you think they should be included on articles. Have you been watching the new L&O? :) --Spongebob456 talk 14:13, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Sure. I have watched the new L&O. It's ok. Needs a bit more work though. We'll see if season 22 happens. Alsocal (talk) 19:35, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- That's great! Needs a bit more work? Season doesn't flow too well? Also thanks for your additions to the RFTH submission page! Just a small note that for this for example, would you mind moving that beneath CH's comment in the
===Discussion===
section? The verdict is posted after once discussion has concluded. Thanks for everything you're doing! :) --Spongebob456 talk 07:16, 10 May 2022 (UTC)- Adjustments made per your ask. And yeah I think in some ways the new L&O clings to past a bit too much (like how is Bernard still a detective now after 20 years instead of a command post, why did they feel the need to rebuild the sets the same, and why is Sam Waterston still need to be DA, he could have had another role on this series), but those are some nitpicks. I think that another season could explore that (and maybe give them a proper transition).Alsocal (talk) 18:23, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

- You're a star, thank you! Just want to get some conversation going as to whether you think they should be included on articles. Have you been watching the new L&O? :) --Spongebob456 talk 14:13, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
First, I'd like to thank you for adding the Anna Sorokin reference. Obviously, I was blocked and the pages were restricted, so that was near impossible, and it's great you stepped in and put in the needed reference. To the matters at hand, I should clarify to you in Law and Order:Ripped from the headlines submissions, there's a formatting and process that needs to be met. The page isn't set up to jump to "YAY"/"NAY" verdicts. And no one user had the final verdict over the discussion. We talk out the suggestions for an allotted time, I believe three days maximum, then we agree to a verdict we discuss. So I'll move your responses under the discussion sessions, as we can talk about it more. A few days max, like the page says. But if we're going to find the missing rips, I ask and request that we collaborate. We figure out just how each of us best do our research, find ways to get along, divide and conquer, figure out criteria to watch for and patterns in the adapations into the episodes that hint at which real life references, and from there we complete the list. I do look forward to working with you, but I hope that's what we'll be doing and how we'll be doing all this. It's nice to hear you wanna help and be engaged. I'd love to understand how you do your own work and discuss ideas and possible plans and needed site information. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 20:58, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'd also like to tank you for matching John Edwards with Pasadena, bang up work, it's a spot on match. I recognized the adoption case listed, so I put both the rips we found into the list. Hopefully you're fine with that, but it's nice to work with you there. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 16:35, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm inviting you to come to a forum I set up from the suggestion of Spongebob456, where users can discuss and coordinate their activities and better contribute to the site while organizing and dividing their edits and page creations. If you'd like us to work together, we can speak there, you just have to follow the basic formatting and conduct rules at the top. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 16:49, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
Albatross[]
May you kindly elaborate on the comparisons you see between the episode and Hilary Clinton's campaign? Please reply on my page so I receive a notice. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 12:25, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
But are there several different comparisons? That's what we should go off based on the rules and guidelines. We know the husband was a mess because of his mob ties, but does Al Pirro already cover most of that? Was there ever some scandal involving the Clintons' chauffeur? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 20:37, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
It's been a while since I've seen the episode. If you've seen it, may you please walk me through the details you find similar, lay out a presentation of the details that show it's similar to the Pagolis couple? Go back and forth between the Pagolis' and the Clintons? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 21:17, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
Alright, I'm sold! If you'll just offer me a moment to tweak the wording, it'll be a perfect edition to the list! ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 23:43, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
Ripped from the Headlines Wiki[]
I'm highly considering trying to start a wiki with references from real life or other fiction works to create productions and franchises, under the URL rippedfromtheheadlines.fandom.com. The idea itself is still in its infant stage, and I've got far too many more projects to go ahead with it for certain. You're welcome to the site for any and all necessary, meaningful contributions and a forum for dialogues and open minds to complete the pages and finalize the material. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 01:39, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Missing References for Episodes[]
I have a challenge for you, because I'm coming up empty. The same inspiration for Grief (L&O) is in Fat, the same inspiration for Kids is in Baby Killer, and the same inspiration for Pride and Joy is in Dominance. You think you'll be able to find them in news articles? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 03:50, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can find when I get some time.Alsocal (talk) 17:48, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
Lili Simmons[]
Should I add or the other administrators will add a wiki page for Lili Simmons, soon!
- You should go ahead and make that page. Thanks. Alsocal (talk) 18:46, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding her page. My about page has a list of people that don't have pages if you get some time. Denis Lawson from Star Wars could be a fun one, etc. Thanks again. Alsocal (talk) 17:53, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Video Link[]
Bound to happen sooner or later. They even chose older episodes for throwbacks and appealing to the diehard fans. But do you have any additional real crimes you wanna suggest for episodes? Any comments or queations on my suggestions? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 15:41, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
No Interest in Casting[]
- Thanks, but I don't need the reminders, I'm in no place for that now. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 14:27, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
New Law & Order Cast Member revealed[]
Reid Scott Joins ‘Law & Order’ As New Series Regular – Deadline
- Thanks Alsocal (talk) 02:36, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Blood is Thicker… and Shandeh[]
Can you identify the same inspiration for both episodes? I’m totally lost on where to start looking, but I bet they’re both exactly the same, wife killed by husband on orders of mother-in-law. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 00:13, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Dean Norris cast as Stabler's brother in L&O: OC[]
- Thanks for the info - Alsocal (talk) 17:57, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
Wrong Profile Photo[]
I just saw the Jonathan Strauss and the photo is wrong and it's the actor Zeeko Zaki, who plays OA Ziban in the FBI.
- Thanks. I took it out as I didn't see a pic on imdb and didn't feel like grabbing a screenshot. Alsocal (talk) 02:10, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
User:ContributingHelperOnTheSide/List of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent Ripped from the Headline episodes[]
You’re supposed to have realized I already created a page for the list. I was placed in charge of the lists by Season Fourteen, the lists are under my username. Kindly merge your page with mine and place the link to mine in the list, it’s just easier to keep cohesive organization. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 08:36, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Fixed Alsocal (talk) 08:55, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I’m not watching the Toronto spinoff, do you wanna cover the list? Since you’ve already filled out the inspirations you found. I wouldn’t know where to tune into it. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 17:35, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- I've been doing my best. Reddit and this Toronto life blog (https://torontolife.com/culture/law-order-toronto-recap-episode-three-the-real-eve-david-buller-murder/) is where I've been getting most of the info. Been trying to watch the show, but I've only seen the second episode, but yeah I'll add the third episode later when I get a moment.Alsocal (talk) 23:46, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sweet. Thanks for your help. If it gets to use up too much of your time and effort, you’re free to request someone take your place, or at least help. We can figure something out. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 08:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Possible Rips from the Headlines[]
I have a request. There are a few real criminal cases I’m wondering about the show having possibly written into their scripts. If you’ll just give the cases a look and tell me if you figure there’s any similarities to any episodes:
- The Mark Fuhrman tapes
- John Griffin, the CNN producer arrested for child sex crimes
- The OC crew member who was shot in his car in New York City
