In the Famous fans section, Wayne Gretzy and his wife Janet Jones "citation needed". citation is from the 1997 Daytime emmy awards GH montage for it's nomination for outstanding drama series. ^[1] Nypdliz (talk) 04:44, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

 Done A YouTube video of the Gretzkys endorsing General Hospital from the Daytime Emmys is good enough sourcing for such a trivial claim. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:47, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

I removed this sentence, "Same-day broadcasts as well as classic episodes were aired on SOAPnet from January 20, 2000, to December 31, 2013, following Disney-ABC's decision to discontinue the network." What does this mean? General Hospital is now and always has been broadcast by ABC. This sentence makes is sound as though GH was discontinued at the end of 2013. What is a "same-day broadcast"? Normally I would not do this, on the assumption that those "skilled in the art" would understand. But this is about a TV Soap Opera, and should be understandable if corrected written. If this sentence is critical to the introduction, then please rewrite it and put it back. Nick Beeson (talk) 23:03, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Per the crediting of General Hospital and their own Wikipedia page title, Frank and Doris Hursley is exactly how they are credited, much like Bridget and Jerome Dobson and James Harmon Brown and Barbara Esensten. Also, {{Plainlist}} is the preferred method per {{Infobox television}} for more than one entry to adhere to MOS:ACCESS and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Text (as exhibited by the documentation parameters). Continued ignorance of this is ignorance of MOS, which is against Wikipedia's own policies. livelikemusic (TALK!) 14:22, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@livelikemusic: On this wiki, names are not formatted like that in infoboxes (even if that is the article title). The text should be formatted as [[Frank and Doris Hursley|Frank Hursley<br>Doris Hursley]] per MOS:ACCESS and MOS:LIST, which state that multiple names should be formatted in list form (which I'm pretty sure can't be done with Plainlist, hence the "<br>"). Also, please do not act like you own the page. This is the Free Encyclopedia. —ÐW^(T·C) 14:57, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

@Dan Wescher: Once again, the Hursleys are credited as one; you are mis-reading what both MOS policies are stating. They are stating if two separate entities (ie: Dan O'Connor and Chris Van Etten) should be separated, which they are. The Hursleys are credited as one packaged collective (ie: the examples made above). Also, please adhere to WP:PERSONAL. Speak on the editing, not the editor. And editing the page, while discussion is in-progress, is against WP:BRD. livelikemusic (TALK!) 16:12, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

@livelikemusic: Why are you so offended? I wasn't even attacking you, I was simply saying that the article is for anyone to read/edit. —ÐW^(T·C) 16:17, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

@Dan Wescher: Speaking on how someone [supposedly] acts—which is not editing content—is a violation of the WP:PERSONAL and WP:BATTLEGROUND policies set up by Wikipedia. livelikemusic (TALK!) 16:22, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

@livelikemusic: Please stop saying I'm on a "battleground" and that I started the war. Neither of those is true. —ÐW^(T·C) 16:36, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

It is worth mentioning, again, the Hursleys, per the credits of each episode, are credited as Frank and Doris Hursley. I could understand if they were credited as Frank Hursley and Doris Hursley, however, they are not; they are, in fact, credited as their own collectively-working entity, hence why their page is also both of them combined. And this is much like the two examples also provided above. livelikemusic (TALK!) 00:48, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

This is still an issue that needs to be settled. As well... "often abbreviated as" is appropriate for the opening lead, as omitting it implies it is commonly referred to in media as GH, which it is not. Using the comparison of American Broadcasting Company is that the company is purely known as ABC for marketing and media, and not referred to by its full name. livelikemusic (TALK!) 22:58, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

I want the picture format info to say this:

• 480i (NTSC) (1963–2009)
• 720p (HDTV) (2009–2018)
• 4K (Ultra HD) (2018–present)

It's formatted this way in articles such as "South Park", "Friends", "30 Rock", "Bob's Burgers", "Futurama", and "Disenchantment (TV series)", among other articles.

—ÐW^(T·C) 03:20, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Per {{Infobox television}} it states this is informal; other pages have not yet adapted to these changes. The template is what we need to follow and update other pages to follow. Just because other pages do so does not mean it is right. Per the template, it states: The video or film format in which the show is or was originally recorded or broadcast (Black and white, Film, 405-line, NTSC, PAL, SECAM, HDTV 720p, HDTV 1080i). Do not use "SDTV" as it is ambiguous. Note that aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9 etc) are not a format and should not be included. livelikemusic (TALK!) 03:51, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

1. I never listed any aspect ratios.
2. I never used "SDTV" because I'm fully aware of that fact that it's ambiguous.
3. In a sense, it still says "HDTV 720p"; it's just written differently.

—ÐW^(T·C) 16:49, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Again, the set up which you prefer is not how the template calls for it to be listed. What you want is not what the template calls for. 480i was removed from NTSC, because NTSC is standardly 480i, and mentioning such is redundant to the format, hence why it was removed from the template requirement some time ago, and does not need to be listed. livelikemusic (TALK!) 12:35, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

This edit request is for an addition to the "Parodies and references in other media" section of the wiki page. I found a reference in the Nextflix series "Archive 81" Season 1 Episode 1 at time stamp 20:04. (On Netflix I believe this timestamp indicates time remaining in the episode. Nonetheless, this is the number you'd pause at to catch the reference.) When you pause at this time stamp, a journal is opened to the handwritten plot of Thursday December 26 and Friday December 27 of General Hosptial. If you press play, this is continued for a few seconds as some pages are turned. I confirmed this by matching the writing in the journal to the text written at this site below

https://www.soapcentral.com/general-hospital/recaps/1996/961223.php

I am not sure if General Hosptial is referenced any further in this Netflix series as I am only on Episode 1, but for some reason it is shown at the time I indicated. 67.150.28.250 (talk) 04:18, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Per MOS:CULTURALREFS, reliable secondary or tertiary sources are needed for inclusion. And even then, the fact that General Hospital was referenced in this way in Archive 81 is likely not enough, as a source "should cover the subject's cultural impact in some depth". Not sure that is achievable for something that sounds more like an easter egg than an actual in-depth plot device. – Recoil (talk) 10:35, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
