Pepper Ann Broadcast Discrepancies & Other Errors

I do plan of amending some of these issues, bur I wanted to post this on the forum for awareness. Several episodes from the series "Pepper Ann" are currently misordered or mistitled on the website. Season 3 is split up as two seasons (season 3 and 4), with Season 4 miscited as S5 on IMDB. The series was broadcast on ABC and UPN with alternate pairings than the proper ones used for most channels (such as Disney), and do not cover the entire series as a result (sites such as TVTome cite false broadcast pairings for the series - https://web.archive.org/web/20050112073417/http://www.tvtome.com:80/tvtome/servlet/EpisodeGuideServlet/showid-2424/Pepper_Ann/)

The proper order for the series, as cited in schedules and press kits (linked below), are listed on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pepper_Ann_episodes

Moreover, the broadcast dates for several episodes are inaccurate. Several Season 4 episodes only aired on Disney Channel and did not air on ABC or UPN (also cited in Wikipedia's sources); TV Tome is the origin of these pairings, with. The episodes Nicky Gone Bad (aired Nov 8, 1997) and Radio Freak Hazelnut (aired Nov 7, 1998) aired standalone from their sister segment on ABC (also noted on Copyright Public Office listings for the series). These airdates are seemingly also sourced from TVTome due to pairing the episodes with their sister segment and nor compensating for their separate premiere.
