Hi again. I've noticed that you have been adding specific air dates for a number of KDramas that will not premiere for many weeks or months. This probably serves no useful purpose. First of all, the TV networks schedules are not firmly set that far in advance, so the dates are merely guesswork. Until the network officially announces a show's premiere date, we usually leave off the day. Likewise, the projected end dates for shows are always subject to change. Holiday pre-emptions, sporting events, breaking news specials, or even labor strikes (as happening right now at KBS & MBC) frequently change the end dates. That's in addition to the shows themselves, which may be shortened or extended at the whim of the networks. For these reasons, we don't usually put specific end dates on shows much more than a couple weeks in advance. --[[User:FritzB|FritzB]] ([[User talk:FritzB|talk]]) 14:08, 20 September 2017 (UTC) | Hi again.

Welcome to DramaWiki! We hope you will contribute much and well. You will probably want to read the help pages. Again, welcome and have fun! Ruroshin (talk) 00:01, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
Creating new TV Show pages
First of all, let me welcome you to the team at DramaWiki. We are always in need of enthusiastic and dedicated contributors to maintain the site. So, thank you for your efforts.
I have noticed that you have created a number of new show pages for upcoming KDramas (Two Cops, Mad Dog, Doubtful Victory, Trapeze). While I appreciate your zeal, unfortunately the submissions themselves are greatly lacking, missing necessary info and features to meet DramaWiki's standards. Show page creation is one of the more challenging tasks to do here, as there are great many required components to each page. I suggest you completely familiarize yourself with DramaWiki Style Guide.
As someone who creates a lot of new KDrama show pages here, I would recommend the technique that I use myself. When I create a new show page, I always start by copying the entire page for an existing show to use as a template, preferably on the same network and timeslot. I then replace the titles, dates, cast, categories, etc. as needed. It saves a great deal of work and insures that you don't leave out anything.--FritzB (talk) 13:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Show synopses
You have been adding a number of show synopses which appear to be taken verbatim from other popular drama websites. While this is permissible, you really should credit the original source. You can see an example of such a credit here: Go Back Couple. --FritzB (talk) 14:23, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
