Japanese Drama Season - Autumn 2006
From DramaWiki
Drama ratings are WRONG!
In an attempt to keep the Japanese drama ratings honest, I've started the auditing process. What I'm finding is that virtually all the ratings for the past few seasons have been coming from a partial list that is released within a few days after these shows are aired. The ratings DramaWiki should be using is from the list provided by Video Research, Ltd. The ratings from the research firm consists of statistics for the entire Japan market, and not just a certain market area. Keep in mind that the ratings consist of two area: Kanto and Kansei. The Kanto numbers are much quicker to be released, which drives certain editors to post them without realizing what they're actually posting.
Therefore, what I'm forced to do is to remove all the ratings for Autumn 2006 as of this entry. The exceptions are Komyo ga Tsuji and Imo Tako Nankin, both of which I've personally been updating using the proper statistics from VR. I'll also be slowly auditing the numbers from past seasons, but I'm pretty sure they're all wrong as well.
Please editors! Please confirm your sources when posting viewership ratings. We can't afford to have mistakes like these. It tarnishes the validity of information on DramaWiki. Groink 03:19, 23 Oct 2006 (CDT)
