Review

Looking good! My main suggestion is to make sure it's not a Wikipedia:Orphan -Reagle (talk) 18:28, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi! This is Vanessa from class, I am reviewing your article and I think most of the material is really good. I had one suggestion which is to maybe add some information about profit and funding. And I had a question about the tense of the writing. When you talk about the characters you use present tense, but since the series is no long in running, shouldn't it be past? (maybe I am wrong about this, but check with the processor). Other than that - I think it's good! Haivanessa (talk) 21:03, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I am reviewing your article, and just like Vanessa I think the material is really good and informative about the show, I think it could be beneficial to write a section about the cancellation of the show and why that happened, not sure if you have enough sources on that but might be worth looking into. Referring to Vanessa's comment I think you are talking about the cast in present tense because it is a reality show and the cast are real life people and not fictional characters. Not sure if I'm right though. Also in your production and development section you wrote "Tom Thayer with Wolf Reality". I think the "with" is meant to be an "and" but I am not sure which is why I did not edit it. Other than that looks great. best. Salmanbinsultan (talk) 01:24, 28 February 2017 (UTC)salmanbinsultan

Hi! Just reviewing your article, I really like it so far. My points are similar to the suggestions above by Salman, Vanessa and professor Reagle. I think that since it's an orphan page you would benefit by linking your article to the Showtime article on Wikipedia. The tense is another thing I noticed too but that is easy to fix, if that is even a problem that needs the attention. Also, the Red Arrow entertainment group has a Wiki page although it is in a different language. Not sure if that helps in anyway. Good luck! Rheab16 (talk) 01:25, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Just reviewed your article, I think it's looking great, but I would have to agree with Vanessa on this one, you should definitely have a section about why the show got cancelled and what happened, also you're a great writer, I enjoyed reading your wiki article, keep it up and good luck!

I just looked up this article because someone I know, James Altucher, claims he started the 3AM thing on HBO in the 1990's, and I was looking for something to back that up, but wasn't finding it. I read on this Wikipedia article about IIIam that Dick Wolfe and Marie McGovern claim to be the creators, with McGovern even "explaining" how she thought of it in an interview. But research turned up thorough proof on the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive) that James Altucher actually did start the idea on the HBO website in the mid '90s. See https://web.archive.org/web/19970317173515/www.hbo.com/IIIam/ for the original home page of that interview "program" that was originally a kind of blog with written interviews and photos. If you click the interviews, you can see that the interviewer's name is James, but nowhere could I find his full name listed. All the interviews have photos of the interviewees, but I had trouble finding a photo of the interviewer. After looking at a lot of them, I finally found one interview with one photo that actually shows James Altucher as the interviewer in it. You can see it here: http://www.hbo.com/IIIam/cmp/archive/episode11/cmp/Heart7.html So--it really was James Altucher who started that show! You can read him writing about starting it, here: https://www.quora.com/How-can-you-make-people-like-you-in-5-minutes-or-less/answer/James-Altucher SunshineSet (talk) 16:00, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
