Well, this one took me a while, but it's done, October 17, 1994, George Fries vs. Bazil Facchina vs. Eileen Lynch.

Probably not a big deal, but I noticed this in relation to togglegate. Eileen’s profile page still lists her as an “X-time champ” with an unspecified amount of winnings. Since she has been defeated and her run complete, I suppose this should be changed?
Sorry for bringing this up here, but I didn’t see a way to make a correction suggestion on a player page.
Thanks. The best way to make a correction suggestion on a player page is to go down to the bottom of the game, click the suggestion link, and make a general suggestion, noting in the comments that the player's total score (or whatever) should be corrected.

I submitted a correction in that manner several weeks ago and Mackenzie Jones's name is still entered incorrectly.

This sequence?
An anonymous user offered the following correction suggestion on 2020-02-18 21:42:49 about show #8161 [J!] [DJ!] [FJ!]:
The "K" in Mackenzie's name was not capitalized when shown on screen during her introduction (otherwise "ac" would have been lowercase). On the podium display where she wrote her name, though the "K" does stick up quite a bit compared to the surrounding letters, I don't believe that it's meant to be a capital "K". In both examples so far, the "K" isn't nearly as tall the "M", and on Monday in particular the line extending up and to the right only goes halfway as high as the vertical ascender, making it resemble a lowercase "K" more than an uppercase one. Also, the Jeopardy! Twitter account put out a tweet earlier today in which the "K" in her name is not capitalized.
The archivist who rejected the correction suggestion (MarkBarrett) on 2020-02-18 22:00:04 had the following comment:
MacKenzie prefers the upper case "K".
with Ben Studdard, Brendan Roche & Mary Llewllyn whose pics are in the archive
Mary woulda, coulda, shoulda won the game with bigger DD bets and/or solving a fairly gettable FJ! clue.
It's taken nearly two decades, but I finally have forgotten that Tim Burton version of Apes as I also could not recall the stumper in that category.
Hammer: Have fun with MONEY PROBLEMS in the DJ! round.
Just to make sure. Mary didn't get credit for "one thousand million" in MONEY PROBLEMS for $400?
It was a neg for Mary. Here is how the CC has it:
Money problems for $400.
What is one thousand million?
No.
What is one billion?
I thought you said, mary,
"one thousand million."
Which is a billion.
I know it's a billion,
but you didn't say, "a billion."

That's one harsh ruling.
It's fair, though. I'm sure you'd agree they wouldn't take, "What is 100 10-millions?", so they can't take any other similar restatement of the problem.

I decided to search the archive for similar rulings, and this popped up:
Show #5719 - Thursday, June 18, 2009 THE BRITISH ARE DIFFERENT, $200 A 1 followed by 9 zeroes is this term in the U.S.; the Brits call that number "a thousand million"
British variants not good enough for the 2002 judges, I guess.

From what I've read, they haven't used that terminology since 1974.
I've got a little time this afternoon, so I've started it. We'll see how far I get.
If anyone would like to earn their Junior Woodchuck "Assistant Archivist" badge, the computer I'm on has very poor speakers, & I'd certainly appreciate if anyone could transcribe Alex's closing remarks during FJ!, especially where he introduces the semifinalists.

It's just standard QF #5 remarks for announcing the QF winners and wildcards. I have QF 2-4 and just have not got around to getting them in yet.
If that is what you want:
