User talk:Alex 21/Archive 2015

Thanks for your understanding

Hi A. I just wanted to say thanks. I know that some of this "when did they become the lead" stuff can be frustrating. In fact this is one of those debates where, if we were in a chat room, we might go back and forth over this and never get a definitive answer. For the most part the BBC pages about the Dr are used as a WP:RS but they can make mistakes as well. The new series makes things easier as each actor becomes the lead when his (or hers someday-heehee) name shows up in the opening credits. I hope that my edit summaries did not cause offense and I apologise if they did as that was not my intention. Happy 2 days into you New Year. MarnetteD|Talk 00:53, 3 January 2015 (UTC).

Scorpion

Hey Alex, sorry that I told you I hated you. Could you please stop editing Scorpion's episode 16 summary? Thanks! ;-)

@Mlpsparkleswift: No, I cannot. That section is not to tell users what the upcoming episode is about. It's to tell users about what happened in the episodes after it aired. How can you summarize something that hasn't aired yet without copying it from another site? AlexTheWhovian (talk) 07:38, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm very sorry Alex. I barely saw your message. I removed my summary. Sorry. :-( — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mlpsparkleswift (talk • contribs) 11:03, 6 February 2015 (UTC) .

Category:2015 American television series debuts

I take it then, that no objection will be made if this category be hidden for all the shows listed there, similar to Agent Carter then? Because I'd be willing to do this if you won't. Richiekim (talk) 02:44, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

No objection at all. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 02:45, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Done. Only 2 shows have premiered so far in 2015. Richiekim (talk) 03:16, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:AlexTheWhovian reported by User:Logical Fuzz (Result: ). Thank you. Logical Fuzz (talk) 20:51, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

It looks like you've easily broken 3RR, with two reverts of the category and three reverts of the color scheme in 24 hours. There may still be time for you to respond to the above report and promise to wait for consensus in the future before reverting anyone else's change. EdJohnston (talk) 23:26, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

If you'd notice, I ceased the edit warring, and took both discussions elsewhere - the first to my own talk page, and the second to the article's talk page. Both discussions have been settled. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 00:54, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

You should have stopped the edit-warring after the second revert. --AussieLegend (✉) 02:21, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Your experience with Wikipedia so far

Hello AlexTheWhovian,

I am conducting research about newcomers to Wikipedia and I was hoping to ask you some questions. I’ve noticed you’ve had some good activity recently. Is there any chance you have time in the next month to speak with me? If you are interested or have any questions, please email me at gmugar [at] syr.edu or leave a message on my talk page.

I hope to be in touch soon,

Reverts on Galavant

Hi again, I've reverted what you did because I have reason to believe that ratings do not have to be final ratings to be inserted into an article. Never have I seen before that someone removes fully sourced information regarding a TV rating; regarding both UK & US TV articles. What I was trying to explain in the edit summary was that:

1. All the episode lists I've seen across Wikipedia do not state "Final UK/US ratings", they only state things such as "US Viewers (millions)", "UK viewers

(million)" & "UK viewers (millions) Sourced directly from BARB". Thus meaning that any fully sourced ratings can be inserted, both overnight and final.

1. On MOS:TV they do not state anywhere that ratings have to be final. They only state sourced ratings.

My point is that an overnight figure is better than nothing. Check the reference yourself, its properly edited, fully cited, linked properly, and I've even said in the edit history that once there is a final figure, please feel free to edit.

I wouldn't have such a problem with this if you actually gave me a WP MOS protocol that stated that the column was for final ratings only. If you can find that, feel free to comment back and I'll go back on my word.

And I don't want to come across like I'm attacking you, but I have a gut feeling that you reverted it because I commented about the whole Agent Carter colour scheme thing. If you did or didn't, I would never expect anyone to remove sourced information just because my comment was against your actions. I was only stating the MOS Wikipedia protocols... and it happened to be that your edit was against the rules... not my fault.

Thanks Limbsaw ^~talk~ 01:32, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)@Limbsaw: - It is standard practice to use final ratings. --AussieLegend (✉) 02:56, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

@Limbsaw: Thank you for your faith in me that I'm immature enough to revert you simply because we had a disagreement elsewhere. I followed standard practice here, as you've now been given by a total of four editors. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 07:16, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

FYI

Hi again A. I just saw that you used User:Ucucha/duplinks. Looks like a useful tool. I wanted to let you know that I too remove WP:OVERLINKs when I see them. However, I do give some leeway depending on the size of the article. If the article is a long one and an item is linked in the lede or the first section but then it isn't mentioned again until - oh lets say the ninth or tenth section - it can be okay to have the item linked again. That saves the reader from having to scroll and scroll and scroll to get back to the spot where the name is linked. This is not a hard and fast rule and is up to each editors discretion. In fact you don't have to follow it at all. I just thought I would post this as food for thought. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 23:44, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Ascension edit war

The summary does not need redundant information that is already listed in the sidebar to be repeated again. What happened to "Assume good faith"? Reading over down this page, it would you seem get into many other edit wars rather than giving people the benefit of the doubt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.103.101.100 (talk) 06:13, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

You say to not undo edits that do not appear to be vandalism, but they appear to be so to me. You are removing important information from the lead. You cannot use the excuse of it being repeat in the infobox, given that much more from the infobox is repeated in the main article, though in this case, it's from the lead. The infobox lists the important details, the article then expands upon these details. If you wish to remove something, discuss it with other editors first with a better reason.

List of Doctor Who serials

You reverted my edits because I didn't "discuss it" first. Yet I did leave a message on the talk page, but you failed to reply. Nothing was ever "agreed", either. To my recollection it was your idea and yours only. — RachelRice (talk, contribs) — 15:41, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

I said to leave a message on the talk page for everyone, for other contributing editors to reply to and discuss. It was my idea, agreed, but it was also agreed upon by other editors. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 15:56, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

The Toby Whithouse Situation

I would appreciate it if you deigned to look at what I'd actually added instead of assuming that you're right. I've added a new source which explicity states "The episodes being filmed first are a two-parter written by Being Human's Toby Whithouse who has previously written Doctor Who episodes School Reunion, Vampires of Venice, The God Complex and A Town Called Mercy. It is said to be episodes 3 and 4 of series 9". This is the required source connecting the previously confirmed "episodes three and four in filming block 1" with the separately confirmed "Toby Whithouse has written the episodes being filmed". We now have a source connecting these two, as such WP:SYNTH does not apply, and the information is valid. FaithHealer1 (talk) 00:32, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks - here are a couple ideas to consider

Thanks for working with my note about "Appreciation Index" on the season table. I'm conflicted about whether it is better or not. For me, although the link is blue and underlined, it is still on the iffy side to know that there is a link to click on. I guess I keep coming back to the idea that so many readers out side the UK will wonder what that column is for. OTOH I think you did a good job of finding a place for it and it is a solution to how clunky my note looked. It will probably work just fine. One other thing to consider, since the table is so long and some readers will use the table of contents to click lower down and not even see the link for the first season I wonder if it the link should be added a couple more times. Not every season mind you as that would be an overlink. Maybe add each time that it is a season/series that introduces a new Doctor. Well there isn't any need to rush. Think about it for a couple days and if these still seem like bad ideas then don't worry about it. Enjoy your Sunday. MarnetteD|Talk 05:04, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Ascension

"None have replied to your discussion, that is not concensus, that's just you. Wait for validated and more experienced editors' opinions) (undo)"

Basically, you are saying that IP editors are not allowed to edit articles at all. I said there was consensus because I was agreeing with TWO earlier comments that disagreed with "Alternate present" label. No one had argued for that in the last 5 weeks. If you don't like "secret history", how about stating why (on the article talk page) rather than just implying IP editors are clueless idiots or vandals. 202.81.249.151 (talk) 09:30, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

That's not what I'm saying at all. Though, by your remarks, perhaps you should learn how to edit. Hundreds of editors have edited the article, and had no problem with it. One or two editor(s) comes along with a problem with it. Hence, consensus would be required to change what both editors have agreed on and what is has been marketed as. Simply, really. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 14:14, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

So I need to get every editor who has ever edited the article to agree with any change I want to make or you will revert it? Okay. I had assumed that anyone who actually cared about it would have it on their watch list and have responded sometime in the last 5 weeks to the original discussion, which so far is unanimous in rejecting the label "alternate present". So, how many months do I need to wait? If you actually have an opinion on the merits of the edit, other than who made it, why not discuss it at the article? I have no idea what you mean by "what is has been marketed as". When was it ever marketed as "alternate present"? There is no citation for that label. It's just what one editor sometime ago wrote. Let him defend it if he cares. 202.81.249.151 (talk) 03:59, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

You are aware the D in WP:BRD actually requires "discussion" if you disagree? But after 2 days you have yet to express any opinion on the article talk page. So, I reiterate that there was (and still is) a consensus at Talk:Ascension_(TV_series)#.22Alternate_Present.22.3F that "Alternate present" is not appropriate. While I'm sure that "secret history" is actually the better term, I'll just remove the less appropriate one and ask you to discuss on the talk page rather than blindly revert if you have a problem with that. 202.81.248.195 (talk) 08:26, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Revolution (TV series)

Hey there, how you doing? I recently noticed you frequently make contributions to the Revolution page. I don't know if you are aware, but the show released a couple of animated webseries throughout its airing. However, it is not even cited in the show's article nor on its episode list. I'm not really having much free time lately so I was hoping you could look into that. Thank you —- Artmanha (talk) 23:22, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

The Writing on the Wall

I fixed the link to The Writing on the Wall. It seems that the capitalization was confusing Wikipedia and it probably should redirect to the disambiguation. I was quite surprised to see it redirect to the TV episode given the prominence of other similar works. Should be all set now. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 23:49, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Gallipoli (TV series)

Hi Alex,

I added in the names for the next 5 episodes as released on Stan which you reverted as there were no sources cited - fair call.

The only source I can find is on Stan itself - [1] however this does not appear in the public domain as a login/subscription is required to view the list of episodes. Would this source be sufficient or would a source in the public domain be required? I'm not fully up to speed on citing sources! Any way around this or should I just wait until a more public source becomes available? Troy Reynolds (talk) 07:56, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

@Troy Reynolds: Thank you taking this to a discussion. The source would been to be in the public domain, so that it can be verified. Anything that cannot be checked by everyone would be unverifiable. If there's an episode listing on Stan, there may be such a listing publicly-available as well, it may simply take a bit of searching, which I'll be looking for in my free time. Do re-instate the episode titles if you find a public source. Thanks! AlexTheWhovian (talk) 08:00, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Alex, agreed, I've just been reading up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable_sources and it would appear that "made available to the public in some form" makes it pretty clear. I will do some searching also, Cheers! Troy Reynolds (talk) 08:06, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

I've noticed you have reverted some edits from others on this article with the reason "Can't summarize something that hasn't aired yet." Just wanted to let you know that all 7 episodes have in fact "aired" on the subscription service Stan. Troy Reynolds (talk) 06:58, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

@Troy Reynolds: They don't air on a subscription service. They're available for viewers to watch on their own time. And again, the issue with public access. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 07:04, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

List of Arrow Episodes, "Sacrifice" entry: all changes problematic, or just the ones in the edit summary?

AlexTheWhovian, I made two basic edits in the "Sacrifice" entry. The first was to revise "hung from chains, but he manages to escape and return home" to "hanging from chains, but he escapes and returns home", which seemed to me to be improved wording. I'd like to restore that, but don't want either or both of us to get into 3RR territory.

The second, of course, was removing the "shortly before he dies", which I believe is unnecessary. Sara's case in the premiere episode is different: everyone says she died in that episode, so it was part of the story. In this case, the text already describes Malcolm as mortally wounded: that means dying. No more is needed. The episode this is akin to is "The Climb", and my proposed changes left the descriptions roughly equivalent. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:31, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: I have no issues with the edits abut the chains, reinstate that to your liking. As for the second, I believe Sara's and Merlyn's case are similar, in the fact that (as you said) everyone says that Sara died in that episode, and in Season 2, everyone says that Merlyn died in that episode. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 02:13, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

AlexTheWhovian, I appreciate you letting me know about the other edits. In the future, if you have problems with part of an edit but not the rest, please undo only the parts that you find problematic and leave the rest intact. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:54, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Lindsey Stirling (Compilations)

Hi, I saw you reverted the edit which removed the Compilations section in the Lindsey Stirling page. I think that the Compilations section should not be a part of the page, as those compilations were not released by Lindseystomp Records as it suggests. Because they were not released by Lindsey, her management has removed them from any legitimate music service. If you need confirmation you can email Lindsey's assistant at support@lindseystirling.com RandomCactus (talk) 06:25, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

The Flash International Ratings

Please explain why you reverted by edit. I don't know what you mean by the edit summary you gave me. I was only adding ratings for English countries. I wasn't going to add ratings tables for every country or international ratings for every episode. Because we're not an indiscriminate collection of information. Dcbanners (talk) 18:29, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

The note states "Do not add international ratings for every episode or ratings tables for every country". Straight after, you then proceed to add international ratings for every country. See where I'm getting at yet? AlexTheWhovian (talk) 18:36, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

I meant to only add Australia, UK, and Canada. In other words, the countries listed in the "Broadcast" section. I apologize for the confusion. Dcbanners (talk) 18:37, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Edit Reversion on The 100

So I put the tag Category:American LGBT-related television programs on The 100 (TV series) in light of confirmation from the writers that the main character, Clarke, is bisexual. You reverted the edit. Is there a reason why?

Please sign your posts so that I know who I'm talking to. My reasons are present in the summaries of the reverting edits. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 04:15, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Sorry about not signing the comment and not seeing your reason for the edit. So the page for Category:American LGBT-related television programs states "This category includes television series, made-for-television films, news, entertainment, specials and other programming originating in the United States, which deal with or feature significant lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender characters or issues and may have same-sex romance or relationships as an important plot device." How does the protagonist being bisexual not fit under that. mpen320 (talk) 08:12, 28 Feb 2015

Because the issue is neither significant, given that it was only introduced in the most recent episode and hasn't had time to establish itself, nor is the relationship used as an important plot device. That covers both areas of the category's requirements. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 14:42, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Agree to disagree, but I won't re-add the tag or push the issue since TV shows aren't really my Wikipedia interest. mpen320 (talk) 18:07, 28 Feb 2015

What is your problem.

Everyone on the talk page agrees Under the Dome episode summaries should not be on that paged they should be moved. Don't threaten me, I don't care about a stupid rule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whyedithere (talk • contribs) 04:01, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

@Whyedithere: No, they don't. If a season article does not exist, then they belong on the "List of ... episodes" page, and even longer plot summaries on the episode articles. This also doesn't explain why you're removing the summaries of episodes that don't have individual articles. Then enjoy getting banned from blocking!

March 2015

Really? Are you trying to pick a fight with me? First off, read WP:ROWN. Have you seen my user page? I shouldn't have to tell you this but, Wikipedia is "a collaborative effort". You have to let others edit (especially if they are much more experienced). Before I decide to revert a registered editor's edit, I check their edit count. If they have about the same experience, or especially if they have considerably more, I won't revert unless it's flagrantly incorrect (and that's quite rare). And if the person has a lot more experience than I do, then it's most likely that they know more than I do. Also, you should give a valid reason for removing sourced content or maintenance templates. These edits of yours are considered disruptive.

Now, about the particular edits:

"a row can be added when there's valid information (i.e. dates and times". That makes no sense. The purpose of a Ratings table is to show the ratings. It makes no difference what information there is. The premiere date is already found elsewhere, so it's unnecessary to add it there right now. And as for the times, there are no sources for them, and you removed the templates (a big no no) without explanation.

"Not an action "film"." Really? You revert a referenced add and that's the reason you give?? There is no separate article for "Action TV show". See List_of_genres#Film_and_television_genres; they're all used for both TV and film. That's how it's done. And even if the wikilink was wrong, that's no reason to remove sourced content. --Musdan77 (talk) 03:29, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

@Musdan77: Welcome to Wikipedia! Firstly, Wikipdia is edited by all sorts of editors equally - just because you've been here for longer, doesn't give you more "rights". I quote you: Wikipedia is "a collaborative effort". Next. Technically the ratings table need not exist, given that it's simply duplicate information of the tables in List of Under the Dome episodes. I quote you again: "[...] is already found elsewhere, so it's unnecessary to add it [...]". The removal of the templates was accidental. No need to assume that everyone who reverts you is "trying to pick a fight" with you. Next. Looks like you were reverted on the Scorpion page by another user. Looks like I'm not the only one who disagrees with the addition of a false, poorly-sourced link. I don't see any "warnings" on their page. Do enjoy you stay here! AlexTheWhovian (talk) 10:43, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

1) I didn't say anything about "rights" (quotes?) or about "being here longer" for that matter, but the higher the edit count, the more experience. More experience equals more knowledge. That doesn't mean that I (or other veteran editors) don't make mistakes. But, you have to figure that someone with 5 times the edit count would know a little more than you about editing (and deleting warnings doesn't really do any good). 2) Ratings table are not "simply duplicate information of the tables in List of Under the Dome episodes", and I think you're missing my point. 3) Again, you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say, "that everyone who reverts [me] is "trying to pick a fight" with" me. It was you who reverted my edits 3 times in a row, with very lame and erroneous edit summaries (did you read WP:ROWN?). 4) The other editor who reverted was because of the source I gave. That's not the reason you gave. Btw, Under the Dome has 4 genres listed and no sources. At least I gave one. I will find a better one. Please try to learn more about when to revert and when not to. It seems that you've had a lot of conflicts with other editors in the short time that you've been editing. --Musdan77 (talk) 17:10, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

@Musdan77: a) Incorrect. A user could go around, fixing minor punctuation on tens of thousands of pages. They have no idea what the rules are, they're just done a lot of minor edits. From there, I have no idea what your experience on Wikipedia has contributed, or what you know about Wikipedia. (And if you bothered to read the summaries, you'd know why I cleared your apparently "warnings"). b) I believe they are, and incorrect, I am not. c) You pretty much did, buddy. You reverted my reverts with edit summaries that were just as poor. d) Same thing. Besides, how can a TV show be an action film? A more correct category would be Action (fiction). And we're not talking about Under the Dome when it comes to genres, we're talking Scorpion. Now you're failing at attempting to bend the subject around to fit your own needs. Please try to learn more about when to revert and when not to. Enjoy Wikipedia, it seems you've attempted to contribute a lot in your short time here. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 01:05, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

This user believes that a user's edit count does not necessarily reflect on the value of their contributions to Wikipedia.

1) Don't you know what btw means? It means "by the way" -- which means it's another subject (but usually somewhat related). 2) "how can a TV show be an action film?" How is it any different (besides the fact that it's on TV)? That link has been used on many other TV articles. But, if that was your only dispute of the edit, then you could (or should) have just changed that link. We don't just completely revert a good-faith edit by a registered editor (especially with a source) because we disagree with one part of it. That kind of reverting is not helpful (constructive), but is disruptive. Editors are supposed to work together, not against each other. The rest of what you wrote is pretty much nonsense. I'm trying not to make disparaging remarks, because that's not helpful either. We all should be willing to learn from more experienced editors. I actually pretty much agree with that userbox. Notice the word "necessarily" -- meaning there are always exceptions -- but as a general rule of thumb... as I said, the more edits, the more the experience, the more experience, the more the knowledge a person has (and that goes for anything in life). --Musdan77 (talk) 19:52, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Whatever is consistent and doesn't look horrible and dooesn't get reverted by you. Your choice. — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 10:13, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

I"m not sure how having the actor and character on one line, then an indented description below it is horrible? Especially compared to one great block of text. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 10:39, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

No no, I didn't mean that that version looked horrible. — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 10:52, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

List of The Musketeers episodes

http://www.radiotimes.com/tv/tv-listings#{"sd":"13-03-2015 20:00:00"} is my source. The BBC America cite you deleted in favour of a non BBC source is wrong. A note (efn|) could be added to the uk date when confirmed that it was shown earlier in America. Thankyou.REVUpminster (talk) 09:02, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

You cited no source on the page - here does not count. And all I am getting is a TV schedule for today? Check if it you don't believe me. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 10:41, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

I see the Radio Times has listed episode 9 but without a date as it will not be broadcast until the 20 March. TV Buzzer is an unreliable source but I am sorry you will not accept it. It has also copied the BBC copy word for word.REVUpminster (talk) 17:57, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

ps I just watched the recorded end credits and the continuity announcer said the next episode would be in two weeks, but can I cite it as only I and two million others might confirm it.REVUpminster (talk) 19:24, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

You continue to state that it is not a reliable source, but you also continue to fail to explain how it is an unreliable source. If my source has indeed copied the BBC word for word, then that would make it a reliable source, since it's coming reliably from the BBC. Make sense? Your claims of 20 March are, unsurprisingly, also unsourced. Also, it sounds a lot like original research you're taking on here. (Given that you can't get these two million people to confirm this!) AlexTheWhovian (talk) 01:18, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Please click on http://www.bbcamerica.com/schedule/ and go to Saturday 3.14 You do not own The Musketeers page and do not be so quick to judge others. We all make mistakes including you.REVUpminster (talk) 06:56, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Re the filming locations, commons has number of images at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Doksany of Doksany that were used and would make a good gallery in the production section. REVUpminster (talk) 07:06, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

So, you can't even use the correct source for the 14th of March, you just use the source for the current date, and instead make no note of this in your poor sourcing? I never claimed to own it, not once - I am, however, a stickler for correct sourcing and referencing. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 07:15, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Re the miniseries, why did you object to a link from a reputable media website (Fairfax) with a trailer of the miniseries? (NB: no reference seen to the running of the last four episodes into two extended episodes in Oz & NZ, final still to come. Hugo999 (talk) 11:30, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

The Flash (2014 TV series)

In this usage, "S.T.A.R. Labs" is the full name of the laboratory, so the word "Labs" as part of this name makes it a proper noun. This is also how it's identified in the show. And, in every other reference to S.T.A.R. Labs in this article except two (which are also wrong), the word "Labs" is capitalized. I capitalized all three of the uncapitalized references, both because that's how it's spelled, and to make the references throughout the article consistent. I see no difference between the three uncapitalized references which use the full "S.T.A.R. Labs" name, and the capitalized references.

Reverts

You recently reverted me at Constantine (TV series) and in the summary you included "YOU should read WP:OWN, you continue to add this against reverts by experienced editor."

First, I have never and will never claim ownership over the article which is what WP:OWN refers to. I don't believe anywhere that I have said or insinuated that I own that article.

Second, experience does not equal intelligence. These so-called experienced editors are completely ignoring the policies set forth in WP:ROWN.Pjstar35 (talk) 12:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

@Pjstar35: Great idea for you: Perhaps try explaining this to said editor professionally, instead of reverting to personal attacks like you have previously, lowering your view and opinion on the matter. You insinuate it by continuously adding content against the policies yourself, and refusing to wait for consensus. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 13:42, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

From my experience, consensus doesn't really exist. It's just a way for people to do what they want by bending the policies to fit their needs. Sometimes personal attacks are the only way to get through to the stubborn close-minded idiots that won't listen to reason but I suppose stubborn close-minded idiots would just ignore that anyway.Pjstar35 (talk) 13:00, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Please come back when you've actually matured in a way that you actually realize how ridiculous your above explanation is for your behaviour. AlexTheWhovian (talk) 13:06, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

You've just made my point for me. The ignorance of young people is so amusing. Thanks! ;-) Pjstar35 (talk) 13:18, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Ascension (miniseries)

Hi.

I've been trying to turn the synopsis into more of a narrative rather than a disjointed - and often hard to follow - series of one-liners. In some cases I have reduced the total number of bytes, in other cases I have expanded.

It will still take me a while to complete. I've tried to work off line for a day or two each time before bringing changes into the article, in order to link together events across different episodes (for example, Eva suddenly appears in episode 6, despite actually appearing in 1 and 3). My goal is to have minimal impact on the size of the article so that it does not lead to someone suggesting the episodes be broken into their own pages.

I notice that you are putting a lot of effort into this article, so your thoughts would be appreciated.Jmg38 (talk) 00:43, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Constantine reversion why?

The link ends up in the same place as before, it just doesn't look like sloppy markup. (Unlike my typing today.)

Corgi (talk) 18:13, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Date formats

Not sure why you bother changing the date format in a reference. Every date that is generated by Wikipedia uses the same format including the one in time stamps on our posts. There are millions out there in the same format. I normally only care about date formats in the article space. Nyth63 03:27, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Don't be rude

What the hell is this? Are you just C&P the credits everywhere, and deforming template functions? Just add it to the episode, else be reported for vandalism

It's the wikimedia JS code that causes the problem in the editor, so go complain to them or fix it. If wikimedia didn't use any bloated and buggy JS in the form editor there wouldn't be a problem. helmboy 03:35, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

@Helmboy: It's not hard to add two credits by hand. And if you look at the table, it's extremely obvious, even to the untrained eye, that you've screwed something up. Alex|The|Whovian 03:37, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Arrow (TV Series)

Hello,

I am admittedly new to the process of editing Wikipedia articles, as well as the "User talk" sections, hopefully i am actually using this correctly. However i am very curious as to why you removed my cast table in the Arrow main page. Although, i admit it was not perfect, it does certainly clear up the cast changes and make the whole thing easier to read, not to mention that the cast descriptions now are much longer than they seem to be in most series, indicating that it will soon be time to make a change. Your edit said it was not necessary, please explain why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monsieur Gustave H. (talk • contribs) 02:18, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

@Monsieur Gustave H.: Welcome to the editing side of Wikipedia! You're most certainly using the User Talk section correct, but be sure to sign your posts with ~~~~. I later made a dummy edit on the Arrow article to expand upon my summary of why the table was not necessary - the addition of this particular table to the article has already been discussed and disagreed upon on the Talk Page for The Flash TV series: Talk:The Flash (2014 TV series)#Main character table. The discussion begins with such a table on the article for The Flash, but then evolves into Arrow as well. I hope that you find this informative as to why I reverted your edit. Happy editing! Alex|The|Whovian 02:43, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

April 2015

You may remove this if you wish, but know that an edit does not need to be done via 'undo' or 'rollback' to count as a revert. Per WP:3RR: ". An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert. "― Padenton|✉   23:29, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

TableTBA template

Thanks for creating this! Given how much that code is used, this will make it easier. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:14, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: Glad to help out! I've had to copy-paste the small span so often, so I hope that distributing it throughout series' articles I follow will help other users learn how useful it is. Alex|The|Whovian 14:15, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

True. The only thing I'd like to suggest is in the documentation, maybe stray away from "episode table"-centric talk. While this will undoubtably be where the template is used the most, it could have uses other places. Just a thought, but otherwise, good job! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:17, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

TBBT credits

Regarding this edit: What do you mean "not as credited"? The punctuation, as compared to the press releases? If that's important, then why are the references deleted when an episode airs? The punctuation in the press releases differs from the on-screen text in the episodes too. The new credits had a reference to cbspressexpress. DarkProdigy (talk) 18:35, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Punctuation is important, and the references are removed before all information is easily verifiable via the episode. Not is the link you've provided, given that a reference should be publicly accessible - I'm getting a "Sorry. This site is not available from your location" message. I recommend taking this to the article's talk page to get the opinion of other editors, if you have an issue with it. Alex|The|Whovian 00:52, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Issue

I am really at a loss on what to do with this user. He/she is arguing based on unjustified arguments and poor editing. They're being stubborn and very unwilling to listen. What should we do? (Answer here to avoid more disruption from them) Callmemirela (Go Habs Go!) 16:36, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

@Callmemirela: Unfortunately, I am just at as much of a loss as you are. I've had issues with the editor before (example: Talk:Ascension_(miniseries)#Addition_of_a_demo_column and the discussion below it), and it appears that they have a know-it-all and always-right complex. I feel like there's a need to report the user, but there's not really enough to go on, other than his extreme stubbornness which has caused all of this. Alex|The|Whovian 16:43, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Now the user is calling me a vandal. This is what they've written: "As for you you really need to get off the broken record of just stating "read the template" when the real issue is the copyright template should never have been used for a trivial fix. You are currently putting the article into peril with being deleted. As if it is recreated the original title can't be used and the other non-copyright details will be lost. So you are technically being a vandal by trying to force it's name change and/or removal." Would be worth pursuing an ANI report? Callmemirela (Go Habs Go!) 16:47, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm well aware, I'm following your talk page myself, and just added a reply. I'd suggest an ANI report - the ANI page states "Before posting a grievance about a user here, please consider discussing the issue with them on their user talk page". We've attempted that, yet the user continues. Alex|The|Whovian 16:52, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Screw it. I am going to file an ANI report now. It's gone too far, and the user is being very stubborn and immature at this point. Thank you for help. You will have to contribute to the ANI report so I am not left alone being pounded by their poor references in editing and guidelines. Callmemirela (Go Habs Go!) 16:56, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

I will definitely be sure to put my view across in the report. This disruptive user has gone on for long enough. Alex|The|Whovian 16:58, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

I filed an ANI report here. Callmemirela (Go Habs Go!) 17:36, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I've had some run-ins with this guy, and commented on ANI to that effect. The vandal claim, pointy editing, abusive edit summaries, and refusal to work to consensus are all part of his edit warring repertoire. Stick to your guns with this one! --Drmargi (talk) 17:47, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

@Drmargi: Thank you so much for the reply on the ANI report. I will stick it with this one. The user has gone too far for me. Callmemirela (Go Habs Go!) 18:03, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Well, the situation keeps on getting better. Look at Helmboy's recent comment here. I cannot believe he's being this degrading and invincible. I wish there were more ways to bring attention to the ANI report about the user. No admin has intervened as of yet. One admin only replied to Helmboy's questions. Ugh. Do emojis work on Wikipedia? 😤😤😲😲😠😠😠 Callmemirela (Go Habs Go!) 01:26, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

@Callmemirela: Turns out, all he got was a warning... I have a feeling that that won't stop him. Alex|The|Whovian 08:54, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

At least it's a step in the right direction. If the user continues with this behavior, then he can't say he wasn't warned by uninvolved editors or admins. If he continues with the behavior after the admin warning, the next ANI complaint will probably be followed by a block. Callmemirela (Go Habs Go!) 15:25, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

@Callmemirela: How can you summarize something that hasn't aired yet, without it being based on an online description? Alex|The|Whovian 01:58, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Uhmm... A bunch of TV show articles do this... I'd be happy to give you examples? Callmemirela (Go Habs Go!) 02:07, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

@Callmemirela: Please do. Alex|The|Whovian 02:08, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: List of Jessie episodes (view Season 4), List of Liv and Maddie episodes (view season 2), Jane the Virgin, Jane the Virgin #2, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (season 16), Chicago P.D. (season 2), Chicago Fire (season 3), The Fosters, The Fosters #2. I don't know if I should continue? It's been done by a lot, some don't but majority on my watchlist do and I have not seen any rules against writing summaries before an episode airs. Callmemirela (Go Habs Go!) 02:21, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

@Callmemirela: I'll take a look at these. Though, simply because other articles do it, doesn't mean that it's alright to continue it. As WP:TVPLOT states: Since TV episodes are primary sources in their articles, basic descriptions of their plots are acceptable. However, these episodes have not yet aired, hence they do not yet exist, hence the primary sources do not yet exist. (Don't forget, you don't need to ping me on my own talk page.) Alex|The|Whovian 02:24, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

My apologies about the pinging ;$ However, despite your quotes, there are no rules that disallows the use of summaries (that will eventually be reformulated into more detailed versions) before the airing of an episode. No person has complained (that I am aware of) other than you. If you still disagree with such edits, I'll ask around to make it official. Callmemirela (Go Habs Go!) 02:32, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Big thanks

	For having my back
	Thank you for interfering on the talk page, whether it was a good call or not. Man did that person went overboard. I'd file another report; I just wouldn't know where.

Doctor Who

I'll tell the same as I told the IP on his talk page: When it comes to the number of episodes produced in the series, the Xmas special count as regular episodes. It has been like this for a long time. Why the sudden distinction? -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 19:11, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

@Edokter: It has been like this for a long time. Incorrect. The Christmas Specials have always been listed different. Why the sudden change? Besides, Template:Infobox television season states that num_episodes is used for "Number of episodes in the season" - the specials are not part of the series'. They're specials. Unless you can provide a source that states that they're part of the respective series'? (Granted, for Series 9, it also states "This field should remain empty until the season has finished airing".)

Supergirl (U.S. TV series)

@AlexTheWhovian Can you please explain why the section about the leaked pilot episode of Supergirl was totally removed? Claiming it is '...it doesn't need to be included.' is opinion. The pilot episode was leaked, intentionally or unintentionally, but the fact still remains so I am at a lost why you completely deleted the section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Merklynn (talk • contribs) 15:45, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

@Merklynn: Please sign your posts on this talk page so that I know who to ping when replying. And I suggest that you take a look at the article history of The Flash (2014 TV series) at around this time last year when the pilot episode of that series was leaked. It was deemed unnecessary by multiple editors - the same extrapolates to the new Supergirl series. Alex|The|Whovian 15:47, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Apologies for not signing, I'm rather new to this so I am still learning the Wiki syntax. Thank you for the explanation on your edit. I don't agree with the decision of the removal for a few reasons. 1. It is factual, it happened. It can be written in a such a way that it doesn't 'promote' piracy. 2. I suspect eventually there will be a Wikipedia page whereby there will be a page listing all the 'leaked' programmes on the Internet; no doubt Supergirl, The Flash and even Dr. Who will be listed because it happened. User:Merklynn

@Merklynn: All good. I didn't agree with it at first, but I see the point in not needing the content for the leak of a single episode that's not overly news-worthy. The Flash and Supergirl were only one episode; Doctor Who and Game of Thrones were almost half of their respective seasons, hence the inclusion of the leaks on their respective pages. If you'd like further reasoning, I suggest making a discussion on the talk page of the Supergirl article, so that other editors can weigh in. Alex|The|Whovian 16:08, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Terra Nova, a question of "editing" style?

Extended content

you reverted the following text: The series documents the Shannon family's experiences as they establish themselves as members of a colony, set up 85 million years in the earth's past, fleeing the dystopian present of the 22nd century. to: The series follows the Shannon family as they travel 85 million years into the past to an Earth of a parallel universe, to escape the dystopian present of the 22nd century. with the following comment: Then update just that bit - there's no need to put it all on five new lines! in reference to my original edit summary: "as they travel", "paralell universe", factually false, see TALK page for detail Am I to assume that you reverted the article text to its former version because you considered the former version correct or because you wanted to "teach" me the "true" source code editing style: this is wrong: The series documents the Shannon family's experiences as they establish themselves as members of a colony, set up [[Late Cretaceous|85 million years in the earth's past]], fleeing the dystopian present of the 22nd century. this is right: The series documents the Shannon family's experiences as they establish themselves as members of a colony, set up 85 million years in the earth's past, fleeing the dystopian present of the 22nd century. Quessler (talk) 14:11, 25 May 2015 (UTC) I reverted it because there's no need to put it all on separate lines. New lines are for paragraphs, not the middle of sentences. As another editor has explained to you on your talk page. Alex|The|Whovian 14:16, 25 May 2015 (UTC) just for clarification, you confess: I reverted the article text, not for any factual incorrectness but for its source code editing style. The readers' interests are of inferior importance to me, as they should be, in my understanding, to any "sensible" wikipedia editor. Are you seriously trying to defend this position? Quessler (talk) 14:33, 25 May 2015 (UTC) Are you serious trying to put words into my mouth? Learn how to edit properly. Not that hard. Alex|The|Whovian 14:39, 25 May 2015 (UTC) Of course not, your words speak "loudly" for themselves: I reverted it because there's no need to put it all on separate lines (in the source code).

QUessler - Please stop harrassing AlexTheWhovian on his talk page. As he has quite correctly stated in his latest edit summary talk pages are for discussions, not court hearing-style debates. Wikipedia is supposed to be a collaborative effort and we discuss issues, generally in an informal way. This is not a court-room, or a contract negotiation. If you wish to discuss edits at Terra Nova, the place to do that is at the article's talk page, not here. You would do well to look at other discussions and see how editors discuss the issues. Your tone is very confrontational at best. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:00, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello! Just wanted to say thanks for helping me pick the right referrence and for cooperating on the Wayward Pines article. Unfortunately, at least in my experience, a lot of editors that revert changes are not really prepared to discuss edits, they just say something like "I don't agree" and that's it. It may be just my experience, but either way - I appreciate you took the time to discuss it. Maticsg1 (talk) 07:34, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

From The Doctor to my son Thomas

I noticed that you had added a PROD notice to the above article. I pretty much agree with the point you were making and had previously raised this on the talkpage Talk:From_The_Doctor_to_my_son_Thomas/Archive_1#Why_is_this_subject_suitable_for_inclusion.3F here (now archived). The only real further avenue is to open an AfD discussion, but although there are a lot of strong arguments to say that the phone video was ephemeral and without any lasting legacy, there will be a lot of people who will argue that there was so much press attention that it must be notable - so I would predict the fans of the show will outnumber any voices to the contrary. --_nonsense ferret 13:58, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

More seriously, I made it clear I needed help citing it. I made it clear what the citation was.

Mr. Robot episodes airdates, edit revert

You reverted my edit a few minutes ago. I found another source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4158110/episodes?season=1&ref_=tt_eps_sn_1
Would that source be reliable? Tommy (talk) 03:22, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

@Tommy~enwiki: Hi Tommy, thanks for the question! Unfortunately, IMDb is in the same position as the source that was previously used on the article - it's open to be edited by anyone. Sources like Zap2It, FutonCritic and Rotten Tomatoes (currently used for the titles) are the best sources to go by. Alex|The|Whovian 03:25, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello ATW. The relevant guideline for Tommy~enwiki is WP:RS/IMDB. While I would say that the bulk of their info is legit but they do not come close to having the proper oversight or fact checking that Wikipedia has. You can't contact them directly and getting them to fix something can be nigh on impossible. I have been trying to get them to fix a credit for the actor Barry Jackson for over eight years and the mistake just sits there. Also T, Alex has given you good options to use as a ref. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 03:31, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian and MarnetteD: Thanks guys. I'll refrain from using those sources in the future. I tried to find airdates from the series' official Facebook page and found this comment there that was posted about 11 hours ago:

User: "the next episode...... WHEN? very nice presentation of the first episode"

Official Page: "It won't be long now. More answers will come 7.1 following the 6.24 TV premiere on USA Network."

(Source: https://www.facebook.com/WhoIsMrRobot/posts/929732123760398)

So I assume I'll just have to wait a little longer for the future airdate information. Tommy (talk) 04:08, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Take a look at WP:FACEBOOK T and just be careful as you proceed. MarnetteD|Talk 04:14, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

@Tommy~enwiki: I've now included the airdates again, with The Futon Critic sourced, as while the titles aren't displayed in the source, the Prod Codes are, and none of them are projected dates.

Something to think about

Hi again A. Re: this edit. When I looked at it I didn't revert because I think I understood the IP was getting at. They were allowing for the fact that the TV film was not directly produced by the BBC. I wonder if a parenthetical or footnote could be added to describe things. OTOH it might be too unwieldy to try to go into those specifics at that point in the article. I just thought it was something to consider. Cheers to ya and I hope you have an enjoyable weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 03:47, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

@MarnetteD: Hey, Marnette. I understand what the IP was getting at as well, but the series did start in 1963, and is running to the present day. It definitely might be something to note later on in the article that the film wasn't produced by the BBC (though still part of the series' canon), but I'm not sure that it's noteworthy enough to go straight into the lead. Alex|The|Whovian 05:38, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi AlexTheWhovian, MarnetteD is quite correct, and I suggest being careful about WP:OWN in reverting an accurate, non-vandalism edit out-of-hand. This could indeed be a topic for discussion on the article's Talk page. Cheers. Prhartcom (talk) 13:11, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Aired episodes template

Once again, kudos for making a template that can be used for basically copy-pasted text across the TV project. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:01, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: Thanks! I'm wondering if it's possible to create a template for episode table header-rows; we'll see. Alex|The|Whovian 17:59, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

So saw you created the ep table header template. Think it will work, but feel you should find a way to include the '|-' after the template in the template, and then maybe a parameter such as 'episodes=' to then list all the Episode list template, so we can get rid of the '|}' that some users may not realize the would need. So it could be something like: {{Episode header|color=white|background=#B40000|series=5|season=5|title=17|director=11|writer=37|airdate=10|prodcode=6|viewers=9 |country=U.S.|episodes={{Episode list}} }} - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:37, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: Thanks for the suggestions! I was thinking of implementing the '|-', but the episodes= parameter never even came to me, brilliant idea. I've implemented both now, and will look into updating the episode tables of a few television series to test it out properly. Alex|The|Whovian 04:15, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

No problem. That way everything is housed together, and any unknowing IP or other confirmed users will be able to use this template easily. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:25, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Question re: WP:TVINTL

Hi AlexTheWhovian, Apologies for the interruption. I noticed that you reverted an edit at Outlander (TV series), correctly citing WP:TVINTL; having read that MOS section, I thank you for the reversion. I did however, have a question, which I hope you might help me with. The section indicates that we are encouraged to only detail noteworthy foreign broadcasts - which seems like a very good idea.

So that I might be able to better apply this in future, could you help me to understand how the Australia, Canada, and Ireland broadcasts are more noteworthy? The delay of the UK broadcast, potentially over concerns w.r.t the Scottish Independence elections seems to make that broadcast easily noteworthy.

Please note that I am not seeking re-inclusion of the information, just a better understanding of our style guide. Thanks in advance for any advice you might offer. - Ryk72 ^'c.s.n.s.' 13:32, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Reference name deletions

Hey @AlexTheWhovian: -- while you may not use citation names typically, they are good practice in case the citation can be reused again, and I think it's a good practice to leave them in. I specialize in fixing citations and I've found it's better to have the names than not. Also, deleting content like citation names is not really helpful to other editors. I am not trying to get in an edit war with you but you seem to be making some decisions about deleting content that I don't agree with. Having more citations versus less is never a bad thing. BrillLyle (talk) 01:01, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

@BrillLyle: Well, "you seem to be making some decisions about deleting content that I don't agree with" seems to be a very WP:OWN-outlook on the matter. References don't need names if they're not reused - if they are reused at a later date, then names can be used. Else, it's merely clutter and excess usage. Adding up to four citations on a line where you need only one is just as unhelpful to editors as well; it's clutter. Alex|The|Whovian 01:03, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Wrong. This is a brand new show -- how do you know the citations won't be reused. I'm trying to clean up the citations and the use of reference names is a GREAT way to stay organized and differentiate between citations. I don't see the point of deleting something that is a an organizational tool. Especially since there have only been 2 episodes of this show and who knows what information might be referenced in these cited articles. There's no reason to delete clean, well-intentioned edits by other editors like this. It's very hostile and is not adding to the article at all. I totally think you may want to take a step back and rethink this. Also I work on a lot of articles and you are the ONLY person who has made this sweeping decision to delete citation names! BrillLyle (talk) 01:07, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

And I just want to add that every time you engage in the editing behavior you have done on the Mr. Robot page -- and with the HUMANS show, it shows a lot of ill will towards your fellow editor. I'm going to walk away from this page because you are making this experience truly unpleasant. Maybe think about that. I'd love to edit collaboratively, but not if the contributions I make will be deleted for random reasons, with the argument that less is more -- which I totally disagree with. Again, think about how your edit behavior is coming off. Truly, I mean this in the most constructive, nicest way possible. You have run me off this page and the other page now. Is that your intention? BrillLyle (talk) 01:14, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

@BrillLyle: To put it another simpler way, reference names aren't needed until they're reused, else they're just "sitting there". What's they're use? There is no use. Hence, not required. If it's not needed (yet), don't add it. An organization tool, as you put it, is only required when organization is required. In this case, it was not. Just because there have only been two episodes and it's a new show, this is not excuse for unneeded clutter. Hostile would be edit-warring my edits against you, and yet here I am, discussing with you as you tell me what my intentions are and what to do. I work on just as many articles as you do, so what's that meant to mean? That you are more experienced and can do as you wish? And of course I'm the only person so far! You only just put them in, there hasn't been enough time for other editors to come in and do so! And what of your explanation as to why three, or even four, citations are needed in a row for exactly the same information?

Perhaps such "hostile" actions wouldn't have been required on Humans if you had read the Wikipedia guidelines. Alex|The|Whovian 01:16, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

I find this discussion incredibly patronizing. A reference name is like a unique identifier for a reference -- it is both an organizational principle as well as a way to reduce duplications. They serve both the current function of identifying each citation so it can be used, and they serve the future purpose of possible reuse. Every time I create a citation I name it, giving it a unique identifier. It is common practice, it is about organization, usage, etc. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's not a legitimate usage and principle. These reference names have absolutely important functions! If you don't understand this and have such concern for how extensive citations are on a page, I think it's something you might want to do research on regarding citations. Deleting content is a terrible idea and I have no patience for editors who remove content like this. You win here, despite my best efforts to educate you on this subject. But please think about this more. I really think you are doing Wikipedia harm by deleting content like this. It creates very bad will towards others and their efforts. And it reduces the amount of time and energy others might want to contribute if you are just going to make these god-like decrees about what content is appropriate or not.

And don't go whipping out your Wikipedia rules and regulations to back up hostile behavior. You are the one creating the bad feelings here. Way to go! I really don't appreciate it. BrillLyle (talk) 01:23, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

@BrillLyle: A citation doesn't need a name so it can be used. I could put a second season table in now, but it's not required as of yet, but will be in the future. Same goes with references: I could put a name in now, but it's not required as of yet, but will be in the future. You fail to realize that it's not that it doesn't work for me - it's just not required. They provide no further output on the page, and merely contribute towards more text clutter while editing hence no harm comes to Wikipedia, as nothing is being affected for the worse. You also fail to realize that discussions are not about "winning and losing" - this is probably why so many editors feel the need to discuss your issues with editing with you. And I'm apparently "god-like" for deciding to remove unrequired citation names, yet you aren't for adding content that is not required? Your reasoning here fails me.

My actions on Humans were barely hostile, you simply assumed that every website is the same and that we needed to comply with AMC, even though practically every source on that page referred to the series as "Humans", instead of "HUMANS". If that's your outlook, then you really do need to touch up on your guidelines and regulations. We shouldn't need to suffer through your assumptions due to your lack of knowledge. Though, since you brought this up (again), if you still have issues with it, take it there, not here. Alex|The|Whovian 02:02, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Richard Hurndall

You removed my edit putting Richard Hurndall as a doctor actor in the infobox on the page the doctor (doctor who). In my opinion, he should be there as he played the doctor in the television series for an entire feature-length episode, as much as John Hurt (excluding the last few seconds of name of the doctor).

The reason you gave was that he was in other actors who played the doctor, but John Hurt is there too should he then be removed from the infobox? In fact, I think I am right in saying all of the doctors are there mentioned.

If you supply me with a decent reason for the removal, I am happy to leave Hurndall off the infobox. Thanks.

DW Series 9

How do we know its speculation there end, and they haven't had confirmation themselves? You saying they are speculating is you speculating. And also, where should we put the Christmas Special? As there isn't a "Series 10" page or "Specials" page or whatever they are going to do next to add it. Or would that be speculation themselves too? Charlr6 (talk) 12:10, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

@Charlr6: On the Cultbox page, there is no source or statement of confirmation from an official source (i.e. the BBC), concerning both the dates and the Christmas special. There is extremely little information on the Christmas special, if there is indeed one, so there's no rush to add information about it just yet. Alex|The|Whovian 12:26, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

If/When a Christmas Special does get officially announced, where would we put that information out of interest? Would it also depend on whatever production code they give it? Charlr6 (talk) 12:43, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Doctor Who no longer uses Production Codes. It would most likely be to a new section beneath List of Doctor Who serials#Series_9 titled "Special (2015)" (or something similar, following the names of other Specials categories), being an actual table on the List of Serials page (instead of being transcluded from other pages), then moved to the Series 10 table once that was created. Alex|The|Whovian 13:05, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Audio works

Why don't audio works get listed? Bit mean on the Big Finish people, isn't it, largely ignoring their efforts by limiting them to a spiel a the bottom of the page? They are definitely canonical, if you don't believe me, the Eighth Doctor lists his Big Finish companions in The Night of the Doctor, thus definitively canonising audio works. Therefore, they should be mentioned in the infobox. Moreover, Graeme Garden (who only played the Meddling Monk in audios) is listed in the "portrayed by" section of the infobox on the "Monk (Doctor Who)" page, so why can audio actors not also be on the equivalent part of the Master's page?

Also, was the source alright? I don't know whether it's acceptable, I thought it would be, seeing as it's not a fan site, but I wasn't sure. I would be much obliged if you could apprise me of this.

Doctor Who Series 9 Test Edit

I don't know if this would be too much for the episode table but going from what you was doing in your test edit, I was looking at this;

Story	Episode	Title	Directed by	Written by	UK viewers (million)	AI	Original air date
253
	–	"Last Christmas"	Paul Wilmshurst	Steven Moffat	8.28	82	25 December 2014 (2014-12-25)
	254
1		"The Magician's Apprentice"	Hettie MacDonald	Steven Moffat	TBA	TBA	Autumn 2015
2		"The Witch's Familiar"	Hettie MacDonald	Steven Moffat	TBA	TBA	TBA
255
		3	TBA	Daniel O'Hara	Toby Whithouse	TBA	TBA	TBA
	4	TBA	Daniel O'Hara	Toby Whithouse	TBA	TBA	TBA

@13thDoctor93: That's rather good! I had something similar in my sandbox (User:AlexTheWhovian/sandbox#Episodes), and suggested such an edit on Template:Episode list, but to no reply. I simply find the whole thing of numbering episode with letters (e.g. 254a, 260b) cluttering. Alex|The|Whovian 09:54, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

The Graham Norton Show

Hi Alex. How are you? I just wondering about your recent edits to the Graham Norton Show page. I knew about the edits to the episode guide but I saw that you recently made sweeping edits to the main page, such as erasing the "as of 3 July 2015" and the current series grid. I have been helping edit that page for a few years now and there has been no problem. Would it be possible to explain your edits and maybe try and revert something like one of the above changes, as this has been the way for British series that I have seen on Wikipedia. (I don't know if it is different for other countries. ) Also, I have noticed that every time that I update the episode count on the episodes page, you seem to make an extra edit not just 5 minutes later changing the look of the episode grids. It does seem a bit bothersome, not to be rude.I have been contributing to the page fora few years and to suddenly have someone taking over is a bit jarring. I know this is Wikipedia but still. I'm sorry if this seems like an attack, but I just wanted to understand your edits. Any help is appreciated.74.15.186.97 (talk) 19:05, 3 July 2015 (UTC)samusek2

Many of the edits are to confirm to template guidelines and policies. The removal of "as of 3 July 2015" is due to the fact that it is unrequired, as per the {{Infobox television}} template documentation. The current series grid is merely a duplicate of what is found on the List of Episodes page - duplicates are not required. I have changed no such look with my recent edits, merely updating the table headers to a new template ({{Episode table}}). Many editors edit Wikipedia, and many are within the same timezone, so your claim that I "seem to make an extra edit not just 5 minutes later" is rather pointless. While I may not actively watch the series, I have the article on my Watchlist (something that confirmed editors have), and when I see your edits appear, I may notice something else that needs fixing. No editor owns or has control of any Wikipedia page, meaning that there's no leading editor and no "taking over" editor, and simply because you have been editing it for several years, does not mean you have any leadership over the page - check WP:OWN. I recommend touching up on your policies and guidelines. Alex|The|Whovian 19:14, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

TV cast

I'm not sure if you've been following the discussions at WT:TV but, in every case we've decided that cast shouldn't be included until they have actually appeared in an episode. Somebody who hasn't appeared in any episodes can't be a recurring character. That's why Chris Evans hasn't been listed as a presenter of Top Gear and why Daryl Mitchell and Shalita Grant haven't been listed as main characters in NCIS: New Orleans. --AussieLegend (✉) 08:31, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

@AussieLegend: I kinda of see what you mean with this. But what if the source clearly states that the character will be recurring? Should the information perhaps be added to the Production/Casting section, instead of the main Cast section? It is information about the future of the show, just as future episodes are added to the table/article when such information is available. Alex|The|Whovian 04:48, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

I think that adding the content to production/casting is entirely appropriate. They can be added to the cast sections once episodes air. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:57, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Infobox television season

Good work on your edits. I'm more than willing to accept the occasional stupid mistake from even experienced editors (I make plenty muself!) but I just can't tolerate half-arsed solutions from any editor who won't bother to do the right thing.[3] --AussieLegend (✉) 08:55, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

@AussieLegend: Thanks, and ditto. The straight-out "solution" of affecting thousands of good articles just to fix a few bad ones definitely got on my irked side. Alex|The|Whovian 09:03, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

To be honest, I'd be happy to remove colour from the infobox, but I wouldn't remove it without discussion, as he did. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:12, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

@AussieLegend: 'Grats on making the quotes on his user page! Alex|The|Whovian 09:40, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

WHY would he do that? Most people try to hide stuff like that. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:53, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

On the other hand, I just added this to my user page. I hope you don't mind. --AussieLegend (✉) 10:13, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

No problems! Alex|The|Whovian 10:55, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

I understand and respect your opposition to him including that quote but really, if he wants to be portrayed as a bad editor, why should we prevent him? If you continue reverting on his user page you might end up in trouble yourself. I don't want to see you blocked for edit-warring and it would not be good for Wikipedia. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:27, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Warning

Your recent actions on Alakzi's user and talk page have not been constructive, and seem to amount to "baiting". I understand your frustration but please stay away from that user's pages for a while because you are not helping the situation. Stop your edit warring on the user page too. That comment reflects badly on Alakzi and not yourself, so just let it stay there, okay. Further disruption will result in a block. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:32, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Extant cast list

Hi AlexTheWhovian. I'm looking at MOS:TVCAST, and nothing in there says that what I did with the subsections for Extant was either not allowed, or even ill-advised. The current cast list is a mess, and I really think sub-dividing in to sections by season, as I attempted to do, is a better solution than what we've got now... Comments? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:42, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure how adding subsections fixes the apparent mess; rather, is it not simply spreading it out? Alex|The|Whovian 18:55, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

No, the current problem is some of the 'Recurring' list is indicated with "(Season 2)" tag info, but none of the season 1 recurring cast is, and this also leads to awkward problems with the few recurring who were seen in both seasons. Dividing in to 'sub-sections' seemed to solve this issue. As this isn't disallowed under MOS:TVCAST, can we at least try it my way for a while, to see if it improves the situation? (If Extant is renewed for a third season, maybe the best solution will be a separate List of Extant characters article, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it...) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:13, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Alex and IJBall. Here is some background info for you. Back around 06 or 07 there was a decision to move the cast lists for TV shows into the infobox. It has created problems like this one ever since. This was different from the film project which has a limited number of names in the infobox and then a fuller cast list in the body of the article. Once a show has gone beyond one season the potential for infobox bloat is obvious. My apologies as I wouldn't know where to look for the original discussion. Also, this is only partially relevant to what you are trying to decide. I certainly was not trying to make things worse and I hope you will forgive me if I have. Best regards to you both. MarnetteD|Talk 20:52, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Yep, definitely a much different problem with TV series vs. movies. There are several possible solutions: a separate cast list article, shifting the cast lists to separate "season" articles, etc. The issue in the case of Extant is that two seasons is probably not long enough to justify either of these two options. So we're probably stuck with the 'Recurring cast' list appearing on the main article page for now... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:01, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

What format?

I'd like to know what "format" you are referring to, which would be broken by writing the span of a one-year TV series with the DTS tag, with this edit summary. Davejohnsan (talk) 14:35, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

@Davejohnsan: Please read the documentation of {{Infobox television}} and {{Dts}}. The former states "Use {{Start date}}(e.g. {{start date|1981|02|26}}) so that the date is included the template's hCalendar microformat, and is properly formatted according to a reader's Wikipedia date and time preferences", whereas the use for the latter is "to correctly sort and display dates in a sortable table (see Help:Sorting)".

Hi

Hey, Alex. I'm pretty sure you think Alakzi is one giant pain in the ass, but he's just trying to do what he thinks is proper per the color-contrast and accessibility guidelines. In my personal experience, Alakzi is one of the best coders and template editors (if not the best) I've encountered in my 6+ years on Wikipedia. He's sharp as a f---ing tack. He's also a technical guy, and he views the world through that lens. If you want him to understand your non-technical perspective, you need to explain why what you want is important to you. You may find that once you articulate why it's important to you, that it's not that important at all. Or, at worst, the other guy may understand you better and work a little harder to accommodate your concerns. Read my questions on the template talk page, and let's see if we can't find some way to move this forward in a manner that addresses the accessibility concerns. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:08, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Warning

I saw the deleted edits on Alakzi's user page, and this, and your edits to his talk page. I can't help but conclude that either you are acting maliciously, or your suspiciously ignorant. In any event, what you're doing is not acceptable and I would urge caution and restraint. Neither you or Alakzi are helping the situation substantially and from what I see, only escalating. This issue can be resolved peacefully and without personal attacks, harassment or malicious behavior (I keep telling myself). I hope you see that too. --ceradon (talk • contribs) 16:40, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm also disturbed by the ANI report of Alakzi, which you originally opened, given

• Prior warning given to you about baiting Alakzi[4]
• Continuing to edit Alakzi's talk page after they requested you not to [5](see WP:NOBAN)
• Forum shopping of Alakzi's behavior on WP:AIV as as at WP:ANI
• Mischaracterizing Alakzi's behavior as vandalism, contrary to WP:NOTVANDALISM

Given that Alakzi is no longer blocked, there is no need for a reciprocal block to keep things fair, as you were not completely innocent in the matter either. Echoing Ceradon, I'm hoping consensus can be reached on the color issue with all parties following WP:DR, as needed, going forward. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 05:21, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

@Bagumba: Your categorization of "baiting" is incorrect in this situation, I did no such thing. I find it funny that you warn me for gaining consensus when this whole issue was about a troublesome user going against consensus. And I still hold that his edits were vandalistic; you can't force another's opinion. I certainly wasn't innocent (none of us were, given that we were all involved), but I'd calmly recommend that you know what you're on about. :) I'm trying to distance myself fro the issue and troublesome editor, so further replies won't be necessary before I archive this discussion. Thanks! Alex|The|Whovian 07:29, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

FWIW, I should have placed baiting in quotes, as it was taken verbatim from the previous admin's warning, who also placed it in quotes. I think we're all in agreement to move forward, so I'll otherwise respect your wish for no "further replies" on this. Happy editing!—Bagumba (talk) 07:45, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Hey, Alex. I would be grateful if you would weigh in here: Template talk:Infobox television season#Compromise: a possible way forward. It's to time to resolve this, and given that the timing of compliance seemed to be the primary hurdle, this would seem to be a reasonable way to resolve what appears to be an unnecessarily prolonged dispute. Thank you for your consideration. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:47, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Lets go easy

Alex, I know you mean to be helpful, but your recent exchanges on Whyedithere's talk page, particularly about the Extant (season 2) mess, are doing very little to help the situation with his editing, and plenty to simply make him defensive and defiant. If you continue to return to his talk page and harangue him about the mistake he made, you will find yourself blocked, particularly considering your recent episode with Alakzi.

I'd suggest you dial down the need to be right, and the need to push a point beyond a constructive exchange with an editor. You made your point three or four posts before your exchange with Whyedit ended, by which time he was so pissed off you were just inflaming the situation, not solving a problem. Know when enough is enough.

Similarly, please be careful that when you're criticizing an editor about errors they made that you don't make similar ones yourself. You put the deletion notice and redirect on the correctly formatted Extant (season 2) page, and left the content on the incorrect one instead of the reverse. You should have moved the content to the correct (older) one and then put in a redirect on the new (incorrect) one. Given that, and the ugliness of your most recent exchange with Whyedit, you need to put some distance between yourself and his edits for a while. Drop a note on my talk page or AussieLegend's if something concerns you, and we'll keep an eye on it. --Drmargi (talk) 18:27, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

@Drmargi: Apologies for my actions. However, I would note that your third paragraph is the incorrect way of moving an article, as it doesn't move the article's history as well (granted, there wasn't much of it, but it existed nonetheless). Alex|The|Whovian 04:27, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

And yet you're still going at each other on the List of Extant episodes article. You're both at five reverts (and don't tell me it's on two different topics; it's still five reverts on the page with 24 hours). You need to find another corner of Wikipedia to edit. --Drmargi (talk) 15:35, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm not going to stop editing the television shows that I watch because of another editor? And if you'd noticed, I stopped warring, and compromised on only some of the edit, which the other editor seemed to accept. Alex|The|Whovian 16:32, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Sherlock "The Last Vow" in Sherlock episode list

Regarding the end of Sherlock "The Last Vow," you're removing my edits when I'm trying to be helpful and clear for readers of the article. Short of providing you with the video of the episode currently on my hard drive which shows that my edit makes sense, the only other source I can think of is the mere video I cited from Youtube, which was ripped directly from the episode and not edited. Because I don't want to have my edit undone again and start an undo war over what I thought would be a simple language correction for clarity's sake, you can go ahead and watch it yourself and choose to edit it or not based on how possessive you want to be of this article. Please be a little understanding that this sort of editing makes it really difficult for less active editors to find this effort worth their time when so many edits are just immediately undone by people who stake claims on articles like this.

Steviemjh (talk) 07:34, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

@Steviemjh: I've already watched the episode many months ago, and precise specific of small events aren't a necessary for episode summaries. For the sake of the article, it's a video of Jim Moriarty. Such specifics do not change the meaning nor understanding of the episode's events. Whether a video of a mouth has been videoshopped onto his face is immaterial to Wikipedia and can be found in the episode itself. Especially once the credits finally end, and there's a video of Moriarty himself saying "Did you miss me?" Alex|The|Whovian 08:01, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Doctor Who Series 9

Recently you made an edit to Doctor Who Series 9, listing Episodes 11 and 12 as separate production blocks, with your source being merely a post on a forum saying this, and you seem to consider this a more reliable source than DoctorWhoTV who only post information that has been confirmed by the BBC, meaning that you removed information from a reliable source based on information from unreliable source. This can not happen again. 79.153.68.192 (talk) 11:22, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

The Doctor Who TV post is outdated with this new information. The print screen was only a summary - the source itself is Doctor Who Magazine, which is far more reliable. Alex|The|Whovian 11:23, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

The source is still unreliable as it does not state which issue and contradicts information from the BBC, meaning that you have nothing reliable to back up your claim that Episodes 11 and 12 are separate so do not make the edit again as it claims rumour to be fact and therefore is disruptive. 79.153.68.192 (talk) 11:29, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

It is a source nonetheless, and while it may require updating, it exists. Doctor Who TV only copies information from the BBC, and does not receive it from them, and is not endorsed by the BBC, so your claims there are incorrect. Reverts will be considered disruptive, and my be reported for violation of 3RR. Alex|The|Whovian 11:32, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

If that statement in the post really was in DWM, then how come in DWM Issue 488 (August 2015), in an interview with Steven Moffat it states, "Once recording for Episode 10 has finished, work will commence on Episodes 11 and 12, which will bring this year's series to a close, while Episode 9 will be the last installment of the 2015 series to be recorded." 79.153.68.192 (talk) 11:42, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

You accuse me of posting random information without a source, then you do exactly the same. Interesting. Alex|The|Whovian 11:44, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Your source is unreliable why do you continue to post information that is rumour as opposed to fact.79.153.68.192 (talk) 11:51, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Because my source is extremely reliable, and the issue in question does in fact contain the information added. Alex|The|Whovian 11:53, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

The issue isn't stated and the most recent issue contradicts this, your source is completely unreliable.79.153.68.192 (talk) 11:55, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Issue 488: "Once recording of Episode 10 is finished, work will commenced on Episodes 11 and 12, which will bring this year's series to a close, while Episode 9 will be the last installment of the 2015 series to be recorded." Issue 489: Episode 11 will be filmed, then Episode 9, then Episode 12 - Not exact wording, but it's this essentially. Issue 489 is much more RECENT, therefore it is NOT outdated, which must mean that this is CORRECT. Badgerdog2 (talk) 22:49, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Source for the episode 9 Doctor Who

Hi,

Why are you removing a maintenance template with the reason, doesn't need to be official.

Firstly, any sources on wikipedia doesn't need to be the original source, doesn't allowed sources without original sources (or rumors).

Secondly, the source provided said "it has been announced" but didn't said where. maybe it is not. Then the episode hasn't been film yet so, how can we be sure of that.

Lastly, I just add a maintenance template to said that the source is dubious and need a better source from the official, but research I made, looks like its only rumors (that could be right but isn't announced by the BBC or Mark himself), for me it has to be remove, because official announcement table shouldn't be melting with unofficial.

Cordialy, --Jitrixis (talk) 17:31, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

@Jitrixis: Den of Geek is an extremely reliable source that doesn't post rumours - if it says something has happened, then it has - and has been used as a source widely over every Doctor Who page. It is not a source with requirements of having to be backed up, per say, and not every source needs to officially be from the BBC. If they do, take a look at the reference list on Doctor Who (series 9), and replace every one (almost all) of the references. Apparently I'm not the only editor that disagrees with the unrequired need of these templates. Alex|The|Whovian 01:01, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Yes, I really understand that Den of Geek is maybe a trusted website, but I really search if they're other website which talk about exactly the same thing (not the proof he wrote for the show to this series), so even if we don't need to source with the official announcement, it has to be announced, and I really try to find another website which said "he wrote the episode 9" but looks like there isn't. So it's why the fact can be dubious (even the website is trusted, this is the only one website that confirmed this fact).

You know, I work on other kind of article on the french-speaking Wikipedia about sport and mainly about sport results. I know this is a different Wikipedia and rules are different but it leads to the same feelings. And there's a thing about updating results, the project warns "Wikipedia is not a live page, results must not being updated without confirmation", so here I didn't wanna strong on the word confirmation (related to the fact that a referee can still change the result), but on the fact that something which actually happened (now or in the future) has to be sure and not quite sure. So I didn't meant this has to be deleted (even if I deleted on the french wiki) but it's the fact that generally on wikipedia if something is dubious or another thought can be, you have to write for each thought a line with their source without taking part of one, and generally it didn't appear in a final table which is generally an official, validated, referenced, etc... table. You see, if I put on the same cell every though, it would looks like : Writer, Mark or Susie or another one, so generally the best is to write "unknown" until we know. --Jitrixis (talk) 06:54, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

I need help

How on Earth do I reply to you on my own talk page? I'm so sorry, I'm not smart enough for all of this and it just gets me frusturated. Anyways, I can't find the tab on the top-right and I don't know who the other editor is. All I just want to do here is edit articles and after I created a summary, that other editor took my summary and made it into his own. It was the same but his had "big words" so, I just give up. :( Thanks anyways. :)

@UndertheDomefan: Firstly. You can reply on your own talk page by clicking [edit source] next to the header belonging to the section I created on your talk page. Secondly. You need to look for the "View history" tab on the Under the Dome article - it's right next to "Read" and "Edit source". Thirdly. Wikipedia policy dictates that nobody owns any part of Wikipedia, so the summary you added is not "yours", but the article's - everyone is allowed to edit it. Lastly. When posting on talk pages, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ - this allows other editors to know who posts on the talk page in question. Alex|The|Whovian 02:12, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Okay, I found the tab and I know the other editor now but when I go to his talk, I can't send him a message like I did to yours. And, when I said my own summary, I meant my own edits. He used my edits and keeps leaving out 2 important keys. I keep adding them but he keeps removing them and I'm sorry for claiming the summary to be "mine" even though it's not, just like you said. Also, as I said before, this is too much and I'm stupid. I suffer from several brain problems. :'( Oh, let me guess! We can't talk about our personal lives either, huh? All I want is for this other editor to leave my 2 important keys! After deleting my summary edits and retyping it all. ((Stupid)) and, how do you sign your own message? Do I just add tiles or my user name too? Well, here goes nothing. UndertheDomefan (talk) 02:25, 3 August 2015 (UTC)UndertheDomefanUndertheDomefan (talk) 02:25, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

This is Haqua121, as I'm not logged in currently(Having some issues atm). I'm very sorry that this issue has appeared on your talk page Alex. I made every effort to explain in detail the reasons for reverting some of his edits that were in all honesty quite needless to the article. But to clear a few things up, I didn't copy anything this editor had written, I originally just checked out the page and saw one of the worst summaries that provided little to no context and was very hard to follow. For reference this is what he had written originally. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Under_the_Dome_(season_3)&oldid=673949282 But as the editor in question has admitted to suffering from mental health issues, I won't pursue this further and will cease editing that page. Feel free to respond on my talk page and I'll get back to you when I can. 81.98.130.254 (talk) 21:19, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

@UndertheDomefan: Perhaps Wikipedia isn't the place for you, then, as there's a policy where we don't discriminate for disability. If the two "important" key points are being removed by a more-experienced editor, then it is more than likely for a solid reason, and you should discuss it with him, and not keep reverting. There's also no need for sarcasm.

@Haqua121: All good, I've been watching the editing process on the page. The issues that the editor in question has at hand does not and should not affect us, and if there are edits that require doing to make the article in question better, they should be implemented. I recommend that UndertheDomefan read up on how to edit better, before going further with anything else. Alex|The|Whovian 00:30, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, okay? Get that through your head! I'm sorry! How else will I ever forgive myself to you, Alex? — Preceding unsigned comment added by UndertheDomefan (talk • contribs) 04:51, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Um. There's nothing to "forgive"? You're being overdramatic. There's no need to reply to this, and come back to this issue with a clear head. Alex|The|Whovian 04:58, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Can you please forgive my "overdramaticness" then? That way we can leave this behind us and live in peace? Please? Do you forgive me? UndertheDomefan (talk) 04:59, 5 August 2015 (UTC)UndertheDomefanUndertheDomefan (talk) 04:59, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Another warning

It seems that you again need to be reminded of this warning:

"Per WP:VANDAL: "Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalizing. Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful."". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:46, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Removing valid warnings from another editor's talk page is not a "good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia". The editor has the right to see the warnings that you deleted. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:51, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing: As can removing posts that are not their own from a discussion simply because they don't like it. Alex|The|Whovian 13:04, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Pigsonthewing/Alakzi

There's a point where it's not worth continuing. I left two valid warnings on Alakzi's talk page. If he reverts again at the template talk page I'll certainly mention the conduct of both editors at ANI. Alakzi's conduct in particular has become of significant concern lately. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:48, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Fair enough. I'd back an ANI report against the two of them, should it be filed. Alex|The|Whovian 13:02, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Alakzi has now reverted four times on the template talk page, so WP:AN3 is also a possibility. I'd really like to watch some TV though. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:16, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Please stop

@Alakzi, AlexTheWhovian, AussieLegend, and Pigsonthewing: This has got to be the dumbest edit war I have ever seen: the four of you are fighting over the name of an obscure template that already has a redirect of the same name, and then you are deleting templated warnings from each other's user talk page -- seriously? When all four of you are blocked, expect to serve the block for the duration because I expect you will have a hard time finding a sympathetic administrator to unblock you. Just stop it. All of you. Please. [Posted contemporaneously to all four user talk pages.] Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 13:36, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

@Dirtlawyer1: Naturally, our sincerest apologies for reverting a vandalistic user who removes comments simply because he doesn't like them. If he had contributed towards it instead of taking instant action (reminiscent of the colour issue), we wouldn't be here. Alex|The|Whovian 13:45, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Move review

I also pinged you here about this, but a reminder to use Wikipedia:Move review in the future to contest a WP:RM discussion that has been closed in lieu of undoing closed discussions. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 19:04, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Lindsey Stirling article reverts

Hello,

Per WP:REVEXP and WP:REV ("Revert vandalism on sight, but revert an edit made in good faith only after careful consideration. Edit warring is prohibited. See three-revert rule. Editors should provide an explanation when reverting."), please explain the reversion of good-faith edits in the edit summary, such as the one you reverted in the Lindsey Stirling article (more than one time, actually). Otherwise, potentially good editors can get discouraged and decide not to become Wikipedians. Thanks. Dontreader (talk) 11:50, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

@Dontreader: I've reverted twice in two months: This one because one collaboration is does not classify as an "associated act". This one was unsourced and redlinked. Alex|The|Whovian 11:54, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I understand, but I wish you had provided those explanations in the edit descriptions. Also, remember that red links are not necessarily a bad thing since many articles get created by people who spot red links. The main problem, in my opinion, is that it's a DVD, not a CD, but that person's intentions were good. Thanks. Dontreader (talk) 12:17, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

@Dontreader: Such edits have been made before, and reverted as such with explanations - one only needs to check the history before making such edits. And in my view, if you're going to link to an article yourself (as per the IP user), you should create the article first, then add the link to it. Alex|The|Whovian 12:54, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Black Sails

The relevance of Category:American LGBT-related television programs has to be explicitly explained in the body of the article. If the category itself is the only appearance of "LGBT" or any of the four words that it's an acronym for anywhere in the entire article, then the category isn't appropriate — regardless of what anybody claims about how central it was to the show, the article has to explain it for the category to be justified. For it to be a WP:DEFINING characteristic of the show, the article has to specifically explain how it's a defining characteristic. Bearcat (talk) 16:51, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

@Bearcat: Category:American LGBT-related television programs: "which deal with or feature significant lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender characters or issues and may have same-sex romance or relationships as an important plot device". Perhaps a rewatch of the series is in order - in the case of this series, it most certainly is an important plot device. Alex|The|Whovian 16:54, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

That's not how it works. The show is not now, and has never been, broadcast on any television service that I have access to, so a "rewatch" (or even a "first watch") is not even possible for me to do — so "watch the show for yourself and see" is never an appropriate answer on Wikipedia. The relevance of LGBT-related content must be explicitly clarified in the article itself for the category to be there, so that the category's appropriateness will be clear to any reader regardless of whether they've already seen the show for themselves or not — if the explanation of the category's relevance is not present in the article as written, then the category cannot be there until the explanation gets added, and "watch the show for yourself" is not an appropriate answer to anybody who questions it.

The problem is that editors have added shows to the category which have never actually contained a smidge of LGBT-related content at all as a form of vandalism, or to shows which once featured a three-second background appearance by a non-speaking extra in drag as a form of WP:TRIVIA — so as one of the people who gets stuck having to constantly monitor the category for inappropriate additions, I cannot just take "somebody felt this category was appropriate" as sufficient basis for leaving it there in perpetuity even if the article fails to explain why it's there. And if I rushed out to watch every television show in the category for myself as primary source verification of the category's appropriateness or lack thereof, then I wouldn't have any time left to eat, sleep, poop or edit Wikipedia.

The potential audience for an article about Black Sails is not limited to people who've already seen every episode of the show 17 times and already know every last thing there is to know about it, so that we don't actually have to explain anything about it to them — people who know nothing about the show, and want to learn something about it, are part of the article's potential readership too. So the category's relevance has to be clearly explained in the article, because people who already have the inside knowledge about why it's there are not the only people reading the article.

Criminal Minds - Season 11

You reverted my work on the Criminal Minds (season 11) page, and gave a bit of a condescending reason for doing so which was directed at me, so rather than passive-aggressively talking through edit summaries, I just wanted to let you know that you can, indeed, summarize an episode in your own words when it hasn't been aired yet. That is the purpose served by a Press Release. CBS often releases an pre-air synopsis of their shows' episodes, to serve as somewhat of a coming attraction for the viewers/fans. They've been doing this for years. I constructed that summary from the paraphrasing of a legitimate article from CBS, which was an early summary for the episode. I could easily put that summary back up, justifiably so, but I want to wait until they release their official synopsis which includes the entire episode cast, and an even more detailed summary than what I put. It is released usually a week before the episode airs. So that is how one can summarize an episode without the episode having aired. I wouldn't have corrected you but you came across as supremely confident that I was wrong. I'll keep the summary down but I just wanted you to know that you took it down for the wrong reason. Happy editing. Bef3481 (talk) 04:21, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

@Bef3481: So you're paraphrasing? That's also against COPYVIO. There's even a template to warn against that: {{Close paraphrasing}}. Alex|The|Whovian 04:30, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Actually, the policy to which you just referred does not apply to episode summaries as far as I know. It is encouraged to put the summaries in your own words, which is what I did. So I suppose paraphrase is not the right word to describe my summary, since although vague and ambiguous, the definition of paraphrasing implies that it is not in your own words. Poor choice of words on my part. I did not paraphrase; anyhow, I stand by what I said otherwise. I'll keep the summary down until the official press release is out from CBS the week before the premiere airs. I noticed how quickly you responded to try and undermine what I said. I'm saying this with all possible respect. I don't know who you are, but Wikipedia encourages us to cooperate. So, have a nice day. Bef3481 (talk) 04:54, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

(edit conflict) @Bef3481: That policy applies to the entirety of Wikipedia, no matter the content. Copyright violation policies adhere to the entire site. I'm also attempting to cooperate by remaining civil. If you had to look at a summary from another website, to be able to write your own summary based on what you read, that's the meaning of paraphrasing. Summaries in your own words are when you watch the episode itself, and summarize what you have seen yourself, without looking at any other primary or secondary material. This means that summaries from press releases are not to be added either. Alex|The|Whovian 04:59, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

(edit conflict) @AlexTheWhovian: Well, this is news to me. By the way I appreciate your civility; I'm making the same effort. The creators of the season 9 and season 10 pages always let other editors input episode summaries - yes, based on press releases, but it had to be entirely in their own words - before the episode had aired. I have not violated any policy, but this is pointless now because I already said I'm leaving the summary down. When the time comes that the press release comes out around September 23, 2015, you'll have a lot of edits to revert since I'm guessing a few editors will want to put it in. Guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it, since many other experienced editors never said that it was against Wikipedia policy to enter an episode summary after the press release, but before the episode airs. Anyhow, there is no more reason to argue since I don't intend to put the summary back up, so have a nice night. Bef3481 (talk) 05:11, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Your reversion

In response to your reversion of my edit, summarized as "That's not how the MOS states cast gets ordered", I didn't claim to be ordering it in reference to anything that MOS states because all that MOS states about cast ordering (at least that I can find, and I invite you to correct this if it's mistaken) is: " "main" cast status is determined by the series producers", which doesn't have any bearing on my edit. The previous cast order was random and illogical. My re-ordering more closely reflects the characters' approximate order of appearance and/or importance to/prominence in the plot. I am therefore restoring my edit, as at the moment there seems to be no policy anywhere indicating that it was in error.--TyrS 15:43, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

@TyrS: Hopefully my edit summary was more detailed this time: Cast get credited as per the order determined in the episode credits. Alex|The|Whovian 16:59, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Great, thanks. Could you please direct me to the specific section of the MOS that says this? Also, are you/MOS referring to end credits or opening credits?--TyrS 17:16, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

p.s. the infobox claims to have the cast listed "in the order the actors are CREDITED by the show" (these are the opening credits; the end credits seem to be in order of appearance for each particular episode) which is a totally different order than the one you've reverted the article back to.--TyrS 17:29, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused by your second edit summary, which states "...The cast is listed as they're ordered in the series credits". The way the cast was listed at that time (in the body of the article, the bit I was editing) was actually not listed as ordered in the series credits.

Anyway, I have now fixed the pre-existing order so that it does reflect the policy (which is here MOS:TVCAST).--TyrS 02:25, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

@TyrS: Apologies, I'd assumed that they were already ordered as they were credited, as there were multiple edits enforcing this a while ago. I hadn't noticed that someone has managed to slip through that. Thanks for your work! Alex|The|Whovian 13:31, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Why did you revert my contribution to "Proof" ? It was the description right from my cable provider. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Randallg320 (talk • contribs) 05:20, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

@Randallg320: (Somehow, I missed this post.) Exactly. It's straight from the cable provider, copy-pasted, meaning that it was a copyright violation. You can't copy content onto Wikipedia, in case it's a breach of copyright from the original site, meaning that you have to type the summary in your own words. Paraphrasing comes under this category as well - that is, reading the content on the original website and modifying a few words so that it's not exactly the same. Please read the policy WP:COPYVIO for further information. Alex|The|Whovian 04:40, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Color changing for the DVD cover artwork.

Hello, AlexTheWhovian. You probably don't know me, but allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jp113040, but my real name is John Perez. Listen, I've heard and noticing you've been changing unneccessary colors on random TV shows and season articles, and also on the series overviews. Now, I strongly recommend you to stop editing the colors, that might be a violation of edit warring, so please, I don't want any this bogus nonsense from you anymore, at all, and just a fair warning, that's all. So, please stop editing and changing random TV shows season colors article, or you will might be blocked from Wikipedia.

Once again I remind you of this warning:

@Pigsonthewing: And it is you that should inform yourself, and if you do so, you would find that none of the edits performed by the editor in question were good-faith edits. You're using that policy incorrectly. Alex|The|Whovian 09:58, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

I removed it once then reverted twice. Please get your policies correct. You too will soon be in violation against the Method of Style for television series. Please read Template:Episode list#Parameters: A short 100–200 word plot summary of the episode. Make summaries specific to that episode (as in, a description that would normally not be confused with another episode). Episode summaries must not be copied from other sources, as this violates WP:COPYRIGHT. Further guidance on plot summaries may be found at WP:TVPLOT. Leaving this parameter empty will result in the summary row not appearing for this episode. Nothing about cast. Alex|The|Whovian 11:45, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Series overview sandbox

Hey Alex. I was working in the sandbox and created a module for when a series has a special (see List of Sherlock episodes). Can you use your script to go through the live code and add it in? It goes after the split and is formatted (to start) as {{{special1_2}}} with each number then incremented 1 until you get the end. So next would be {{{special2_3}}} etc. Thanks. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:29, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

I put in a {{{special0_1}}} right at the start too, for pilots that have aired a good deal before the first season (e.g. List of The Sarah Jane Adventures serials). It might also need a slight expansion I also implemented an expansion for overviews such as that on List of Spartacus episodes and List of The X-Files episodes, where there's an entire special/prequel season.

Narcos

Hello, I notice you undid the short summaries I added on the page. I've just tried to add more information since the Narcos page is still quite basic. I'm new on Wikipedia, and I'd like to know what was wrong with the text. Cheers --Fabiumas (talk) 16:56, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

@Fabiumas: In that case, welcome to Wikipedia! Episode summaries are not allowed to be copy-pasted from other sites (though this wasn't the case here), nor are you allowed to find summaries on other sites an modify a few words and submit it (this is paraphrasing) - summaries must be made from scratch from your own watching experience. Alex|The|Whovian 00:21, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Colours

Wow, I didn't even realise that was a thing. I just picked it based on the colour from list of colours that looked closest to the colour of Randy the purple puppet. I couldn't really find which was supposed to be the definitive tool for picking colours based on the pages you referenced in the edit, although the thread was quite long and I only scanned it. The whole idea seems to be quite a curious area for debate outside basic legibility, hopefully not one I need to bother with too much, and I don't see the sense in being precious about it here, so I think I'll let your changes stand, although if there's an approved colour that's more purple than pink I'd prefer that.Gudzwabofer (talk) 02:53, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

@Gudzwabofer: You're more than welcome to change it by playing around with colours on the Snook website - as long as the background and foreground colours are WCAG 2 AAA Compliant (i.e. they have a contrast ratio greater than 7). Alex|The|Whovian 02:55, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for that link, I'll be sure to check it out sometime, but for today I think I'm done wiking.Gudzwabofer (talk) 02:58, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

@Gudzwabofer: No problems! Unfortunately, not all of the colours on the List of colours page are compliant with WP:COLOR. There's an existing list of 14 colours here that are already contrasting enough, if any of the purples are a better fit for the article in question. Alex|The|Whovian 03:02, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Mannix -- list of episodes

Please do not remove the production numbers from the list of episodes on the Mannix page. They are valuable information that people sometimes access and there is no reason to remove them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jompaul17 (talk • contribs) 19:55, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

@Jompaul17: Then put the production numbers in the season tables in the season articles, don't completely revert everything done concerning the transclusions from the individual season pages - there's no need to have two different listings of the episodes. Though if they're not in the season articles, it makes you wonder if they actually are the production codes? Alex|The|Whovian 02:41, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

I do not have all day to put information back onto a page when someone goes in there and removes it. Who are you to remove this information unless you verify that it was incorrect (good luck with that, because it was correct). If you need to sit around all day and re-format Wikipedia pages, then you should make sure you do not remove information. The production numbers have been there for years -- literally. They were, and are useful information to fans of this series who consult this page when viewing episodes.

Also -- I see you are a 20 year old "Computer Science Student" who has taken it upon himself to format the television pages of Wikipedia in his "spare time" with thousands of edits in just over a year. That says it all -- not a fan of the series for which you removed information, just on some sort of "trip" to feel important -- a classic example of someone with too much time on their hands who is interested in form over function. Who cares about content so long as the colors and formatting are right?

Do not remove useful information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jompaul17 (talk • contribs) 17:30, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

@Jompaul17: Firstly, learn how to sign and indent your responses, and place your responses under the correct heading, else your edits on this talk page may/will be reverted. It's not up to me to add the correct information either - what I'm doing is implementing the correct formats for television series, as per dictated int e very guidelines behind Wikipedia. I need not be a fan of the series at all to be able to edit the page - where you got that idea from, I have no idea. If the information was both correct and so important, then why is it not listed in the tables for the respective season pages? You've now been reverted by another editor - obviously, this isn't me just going around and doing what I want, 'ey? I'm also not sure how my age and what I do is important here. The fact that I've accumulated so many edits in the span of a year shows the obvious level of how important they've been. Continue to revert, and you may be warned and/or blocked for violating WP:3RR. Alex|The|Whovian 02:14, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Oh my, I didn't indent properly -- that goes to the level of importance at which you place your time and effort, fairly perfectly.

So, html mark-up language comes up when I put these responses in, and I really don't have the time to debug this right now, nor go back to editing the mark-up language. I really do have better things to do.

Your being 20 years old and putting so much time and effort into formatting Wikipedia pages was a hopeful attempt to put some perspective into the discussion. I am a fan of a 40+ year old series for which the order of production of episodes matters to the fans. How would you like it if someone went in and edited your, what is it, "Dr. Who" page for form over function -- just destroying edits that were there for years and which fans accessed -- for the sake of formatting?

I see you got a similarly-minded buddy to revert the page back, followed by a threat to me. Alliance with a buddy, followed by a threat, was pretty much what I expected. It fits your profile. Actually, I guess there were multiple threats, since I received the "proper formatting on a talk page" threat. Two threats in one day!

As for the number of edits, quantity does not ensure quality. The opposite is often true, especially in places like Wikipedia. That's sort of the same thing as saying that "I wrote hundreds of line of code a day?" So what? Does it work or did you make things worse?

Anyone 20 years old, and a self-professed student, spending so much time doing formatting on Wikipedia seems to be on a mission to feel important for relatively small matters of consequence -- that is why I tried to introduce that perspective into the discussion.

I'm sure that kind of person exists on Wikipedia -- probably even as a little club.

But, I thought the original purpose of Wikipedia was to provide correct and useful information to the public. If that is the case, then there should be some deference given to experts on specific subject matter -- those who do not have the time, nor inclination, to produce zillions of formatting edits in a year's time, but who deeply care about the content of specific pages. I would hope Wikipedia would want -- and defend -- those people.

All you had to do was keep the column with the production numbers. It was there -- for years. It was useful. And it fit the series, which was filmed out of the sequence in which it aired.

But, when someone is counting edits like skins, they clearly don't care about the content, nor, apparently, the people who care about the subject matter. They don't care about getting it right. It's all about them. And that is beyond sad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jompaul17 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

@Jompaul17: WOW. You just go on and on, don't you? I don't care if you're 40+. I wouldn't care if you were 10 or 70. These edits are to comply with the guidelines of episode tables for television shows that EVERY OTHER PAGE has to comply with! But you can't seem to get that in your thick head. ANd for your information, if you take a look at the history page for List of Doctor Who serials, you'll find that this exact same type of edit occurred earlier this year! Yes, the whole editing form-over-function that had been in place for years. So get your head out of your rear and stop thinking we're just attacking the Mannix page.

And by the way, I didn't make an alliance with ANYONE. They did their actions on their own accord! Check my recent contributions, and see if I posted ANYWHERE to get his help. What's that? I didn't? OH, bother for you! If you cared about the page, you'd care about it getting the proper formatting, colour tracking, and how shit the page looked before. You've given no source that these production codes are correct. If you want them so bad, add them in yourself. Else, I don't care. You can't just "keep" them, because they BELONG TO TWO DIFFERENT TABLES. Are you really so thick that you can't understand that? YOU try keeping that one column, AND fitting the transclusions in. What? You can't? OH, bother.

Your level of "argument" for this page is what's beyond sad here. This discussion is being archived, I can't deal with stuck-ups like you. Alex|The|Whovian 01:28, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Killjoys and Dark Matter

Lets talk this out. I think you and I are getting carried away. Do you have IRC? If not, is there some chatroom we can both go to? Mylifeishard (talk) 06:29, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

@Mylifeishard: No. We can talk here. For one article, Wikipedia does not support the addition of fansites and unofficial websites. For the other, there's no need to add another source that states exactly the same as the first one, no matter where it's from. Alex|The|Whovian 06:32, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Ok thats fine no need for the fansite. I would disagree on the second point, since the added source just provides more information. If you check the syfy source, there is more information on it. Also, it helps to have multiple sources. Also note I did add the information such as title and date into the reference tag like you had it Mylifeishard (talk) 06:41, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

@Mylifeishard: If it provided more information, then said information would be being added to the article, but all that you're adding is the reference. Hence, no further information is being provided. I've checked the references - there's nothing new between the two. Alex|The|Whovian 06:55, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

The killjoys reference for syfy definitely has more than the deadline reference. Again, I'm not saying get rid of the deadline reference, I'm just saying keep both sources. It is true though the Dark Matter syfy reference doesn't have anything more than the deadline reference. I still don't see what the problem is with having more than one reference. Is there a wikipedia policy saying not to have too many sources? I could see having 5 or 6 sources as too many, but two sources is very common on wikipedia.Mylifeishard (talk) 07:02, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

@Mylifeishard: Multiple sources are fine, when the extra information is actually being added to the article - this is not the case here. Obviously, this extra information you're mentioning isn't important enough to add to the article? All that's being added is the source, which is not unique to any information in the article in question. Alex|The|Whovian 07:06, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Ok, the dark matter second reference can go since it doesnt add any extra information (even though its a more reliable source about the subject matter). For killjoys, that does have more information and I will add it to the article. Mylifeishard (talk) 07:32, 3 September 2015 (UTC)Mylifeishard (talk) 07:21, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Alright its all done. I removed the second refernce from dark matter and moved the killjoys reference to the reception section and added the extra information it has to the article Mylifeishard (talk) 07:32, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

List of American Dragon Jake Long episodes

I have an IP removing the series overview table at List of American Dragon: Jake Long episodes with no explanation. If you'd like to look, feel free to jump in, because I'm at my revert limit. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:26, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: Done. Typical IP user who believes that they're correct without any need of explanation. Alex|The|Whovian 17:32, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

I reported them at ANV already. But yeah, just watch yourself too with your revert limit and such. And about the Mannix episode person above, if they keep going at it WP:DENY, and if you feel they are giving you personal attacks, report them. (WP:NPA) - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:33, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: Already WP:DENYed them - I have you to thank for that, since I saw that's how you dealt with them. And I'm about to retire for the night, so I shouldn't exceed my revert limit - hopefully by the time I wake up, they'll be dealt with. It may even be a case of needing to leave it so neither of us exceed our limits, then when the editor is blocked, revert back to the correct version. Alex|The|Whovian 17:37, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Supplemental

You really could have done that yourself instead of tagging... -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 16:42, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

@Edokter: Probably, but I didn't know what you wanted to add there. (Granted, just adding "supplemental" by itself didn't really occur to me, as I'm one for information). Alex|The|Whovian 16:46, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to extremely apologize to you about my reckless editing.

Dear AlexTheWhovian,

Hi, it's Jp113040. Listen, I'm just sending you this message to extremely apologize about my disruptive editing, and also about Wikipedia rules about colors, it doesn't matter if it match any sort of DVD cover artwork, so anyway I now realized about following your instructions by choosing any kind of color that fits the description. So, I feel really terribly sorry about everything I said to you that night I sent you that risky message about mentioning you any nonsense of changing colors on multiple articles on Wikipedia, especially with the TV shows seasons. Well, anyway I'm really sorry about the risky things I said to you last week, and I hope you'll forgive me, and this will never ever happen again, and I give you my word, thanks!

Mr. Robot

That analysis of Mr. Robot wasn't worth saving despite your efforts to tune it up a bit. It was a few sources laced together with a lot of opinion. I'm glad you don't mind my giving it the heave-ho. --Drmargi (talk) 12:37, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

@Drmargi: Fair enough, that's why I initially removed it in the first place before being reverted by the original editor. Alex|The|Whovian 12:40, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Please join the discussion on the Talk page before making another wholesale delete of important material that addresses the derivative nature of the artwork. The creator himself has explicitly said his work is derivative. Articles about derivative artwork frequently address this topic. So, it belongs in the article, and it should not be crudely removed without discussion and consensus first.

All of the objections raised so far to my edits have been fully addressed and put down. Barring new ones, there is no reason to delete this new section.Trumpetrep (talk) 02:15, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you

Hello again AlexTheWhovian, thank you for changing season colours for Moonshiners. Although a lot of TV series/seasons articles could do with colour changes, here are some I noticed recently: List of Benidorm episodes, People Just Do Nothing, All at Sea (TV series), Marooned with Ed Stafford and Monsters and Mysteries in America : thanks again. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 03:18, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

@Emperorofthedaleks: No problems. I'll get around to them soon enough - there's also an entire list at Category:Episode lists with invalid line colors. Or, if you wish to do them yourself, take a look at my User Page, and you'll see instructions under "Current Project". Alex|The|Whovian 05:13, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I haven't known what the colour rules were until now, just noticed they were being changed and that you knew how to do it. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 12:43, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

September 2015

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Once Upon a Time (TV series): you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Hermionedidallthework (talk) 17:08, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Episode table references

Just wondering, is it possible to make the ref link actually white? That may look better, and I don't think it would be too confusing for readers if it was. Just curious. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:29, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: That's the very first thing I thought of, but unfortunately, it's not possible. Here is the post of me asking the very same question. Alex|The|Whovian 06:14, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

And there we are. It does look better though, now that you reformatted the square to be less "below" the ref. Thanks. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:48, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

color removal of lines on Inside West Coast Customs

why are you removing this? I am following the original editor's scheme. Furthermore, it makes tables easier to read. please contribute, not take away.

@LakersCentral: The article was being tagged under Category:Episode lists with invalid top colors due to colour contrast issues. Please familiarize yourself with WP:COLOR and Template talk:Infobox television season#Colour, and if you need distinguishing colours, use {{Episode table}} to colour the header row, instead of the table rows. Also, you need to sign your posts with ~~~~. Alex|The|Whovian 12:11, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Episode table parts for List of Benidorm episodes

Hi AlexTheWhovian, I changed the colours on the List of Benidorm episodes article but I'm not sure whether the 2009 special, 2010 Christmas special and 2012 Sport Relief sketch would be better off as those Episode table/parts you made the season specials on the Moonshiners article. But if I do this should the colour of the 2009 special be changed to series 2 colours? If you agree I'll make the changes, just tell me what needs doing, cheers. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 00:29, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

September 2015

May I point out that you haven't exactly done anything to help, either. You are the one who started this edit war. I altered the title, and then you kept changing it back, without going to the talk page. If you have anything further to say about my edits, then I suggest you take the matter to the talk page. See you there. --Bold Clone (talk) 02:17, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Also, I don't see anything to support your claim that the episode title is "placeholder". How can an official title released with the episode's official premiere be considered "placeholder"? It's one thing to claim two different but valid sources are being used, but you're not even doing that. Also, to throw things up even more, I've found this, where the episode is referred to as "Series 9 Prologue". --Bold Clone (talk) 02:29, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Here also uses "Season 9 Prologue" and "New Series Prologue." --Bold Clone (talk) 02:31, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

@Bold Clone: Oh, so since I apparently "started" it, which I far from did, that gives you permission to as well. Grow up kid LOL. Oh, and top job on hitting five reverts. Insta-block if this was at ANI. Alex|The|Whovian 02:40, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

If I may point out, you are the one who disagreed with my initial edit, and you are the one who chose to continually revert my change instead of moving to the talk page, as you should have done per policy, which you seemed to value so highly in other circumstances. Contrary to your claim of being "far from" starting an edit war, I believe you were the instigator, since you apparently had to have the last word. Honestly, editors like you are the primary reason I avoid working here, since you frequently seem to care only for your own opinion. You cite all sorts of rules and policies as if they automatically validate whatever stance you're trying to press and thus allow you to skip past the whole "talk things out on the talk page" deal, since you apparently know better than the opposition. As for me, I was standing my ground against a stubborn editor who seemed to follow the rules when it suited him, and waited for him to see the error of his ways. If he had a problem with me edits, he could stop what he was doing and move to the talk page. However, he seemed to know better than me and tried to force to the talk page, even intimidating me with "edit warring" notices. Really, it's enough to drive one mad. Now if you are done acting childishly with your personal attacks and lack of respect for other editors, maybe we could settle this like grown men on the talk page? After you...--Bold Clone (talk) 14:34, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Enough. If I see one more revert from both of you, I will block you both. Now talk it out on the talk page. If you want my opinion, "New Series Prologue" is not a title as per WP:TITLE, it has no title and it is just a moniker to refer to it; therefor no quotes. It is also not a prologue to the episode, but the entire series. Now go work it out. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 07:08, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Jenna Coleman

Hi. May I ask why are you reverting my edits on the Jenna Coleman page? It's been announced that she's leaving in Series 9, as the source I provided says, and Series 9 airs in 2015. So what is the problem with providing a reliable source which backs up what is said in the article about her leaving Doctor Who in 2015? 101090ABC (talk) 16:06, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

@101090ABC: Made it rather clear in my edit summary: her ending year doesn't get added until she actually leaves. The table should represent what is happening, not what will be happening, hence it stays as "2012–" until she actually leaves the show. Alex|The|Whovian 16:08, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Davros?

Hi yes, i agree we need a better source - all will be revealed after today anyway. Found it interesting how they accidental sent it out - should we still have the video for the promotion section of The Witch's Familiar page as it does act as a mini promo/trailer? Badgerdog2 (talk) 13:10, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

@Badgerdog2: Given that the official promo will be released in only six hours, I don't really think it's required that we add the leak, as it will be replaced as soon the official version is released. Alex|The|Whovian 13:36, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

@LunarMeric: Did you update the sources to ones that explicitly state that the series lost? Alex|The|Whovian 12:21, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

I didn't.. Yeah that's my bad, sorry LunarMeric (talk) 12:33, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

New Series Overview Template

Continuum Season 4 Edits

I apologize in advanced for troubling you and I don't want to make further edits on the article until I'm a bit more clear on this. When you mentioned that sources are 'always' required, was that just for the air date announcements or the actor announcements? If it includes the actors, I would like to point out that the previous season articles do not have sources for the actors. Is it just that we have to wait for the season to run its full course before removing them? Also, are you still opposed to me merging the small plot section with the beginning paragraph? That is also what was done with every other season article before it. I'm just a little confused by the inconsistencies here.

Hathomirr (talk) 20:51, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

@Hathomirr: Go ahead with the merging of the plot, there's no issue with that at all. The references should stay as long as the article exists, and this should have been the case for the other seasons, however I wasn't around when they were airing to enforce this. Alex|The|Whovian 20:53, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Okay, thank you for the clarification. Hathomirr (talk) 21:05, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Mr. Robot

Ok, so your reversion on the Mr. Robot edit said you did so because it was an "unexplained removal," so here is my explanation/question: Given USA's character bios neither list the real name of Mr. Robot nor Darlene's surname on the character pages cited as sources in the Main Cast section, wouldn't it be appropriate to remove them? (I get that spoilers are bound to exist any time you enter a separate Character Description page/area or a Plot Summary section for a show or an episode, but I was thinking the Main Cast listing should be a pretty neutral, non-spoilery place and that including MR's real name/Darlene's surname isn't necessary.)

@Capn birdman: "I was thinking the Main Cast listing should be a pretty neutral, non-spoilery place and that including MR's real name/Darlene's surname isn't necessary." Please read WP:SPOILER. Alex|The|Whovian 21:33, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Right, I saw the "Sections that frequently contain spoiler warnings—such as plot summaries, episode lists, character descriptions, etc.—were already clearly named to indicate that they contain plot details" part. I was thinking a Main Cast listing wasn't included in that "etc." I guess where I'm wanting clarification so I don't run into this issue in the future is: why is it ok to include their names but not say, "Ben Rappaport as Ollie Parker, Angela's ex-boyfriend"? All the other listings only seem to describe the characters as they are when initially presented within the show, but Edward and Darlene's descriptions reflect revelations made toward the end of the season. While they have always been Edward(ish) and Darlene, Elliot's understanding of his situation doesn't occur as a plot point until after their initial presentations.

Lucifer TV Series

Why did you remove my information on Lucifer TV series? I had added that the Pilot was Leaked online while the series is scheduled to go on screen during 2016.I had also added a relveant source. Akshatbahety (talk) 09:04, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Continuum episode summaries

I've been writing the summaries on Continuum (season 4); I wasn't really paying attention to how long they are, is there a recommended word count? —2macia22 (talk) 19:21, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

@2macia22: No problems, you're doing great work! Episode policy recommends a maximum of 200 words for episode-table summaries, but if separate articles are/have been created for the episodes, knock 'em dead with detail! Alex|The|Whovian 01:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

200 words, sounds good. Thanks! —2macia22 (talk) 18:40, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Plots

Please see WP:TVPLOT "As a rough guide, summaries for episode articles should be about 200 to 500 words." Therefore, please only remove {{plot}} if it is shorter than 500 words. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:05, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Personally, I applaud your removal of the unfounded {{plot}} template and have followed suit. For my trouble I, too, have received the above message from Redrose64. You might think they would be more concerned with a new editor who has taken it upon themselves to add this template to a number of long-standing articles, without providing edit summaries and with little or no attempt to correct the problem they imagine to be present. Anyway, I have responded to Redrose64 on their Talk Page here, if you are interested. 86.174.107.13 (talk) 19:08, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Well said. I even picked up a few policies I was unaware of from your response. I've noticed that Redrose64 has declined to comment. Alex|The|Whovian 08:52, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Discussion here

Hi there. Please kindly participate in the discussion at the talk page of The Flash article before reverting my addition. Thank you. 93.135.14.96 (talk) 10:43, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Gain consensus before reinstating, and check the article's history. Alex|The|Whovian 10:50, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

You did not "gain consensus" yourself when you removed the Episode headline with this edit. 93.135.14.96 (talk) 10:53, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

The consensus has been long-established by editors long before you came and disrupted the article with your edits. Alex|The|Whovian 10:56, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

That is not true. There was NO consensus & NO discussion when one editor in June 2015 barged into the article and single-handedly decided to hide the Episode headline. by the way, as you know, removal of a template = having red the message of the template.

And they weren't reverted. Hence, unspoken consensus between editors to keep it as it is. Take a look at this as well, yeah? (And I've been editing Wiki for long enough, I don't need to read it to know what a template says.) And please sign your talk page posts with ~~~~. Alex|The|Whovian 11:05, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Imagine this ineffective edit of hiding the Episode headline from the TOC. I came to this article to inform myself of the current episode of the Flash only to find my time getting wasted by some Editor who, without establishing ANY consensus, in June 2015 decided to hide the episode headline. Almost ALL other TV series articles have the Episode headline in the TOC. Those that don't have been tampered with by the same editor who removed the Episode headline from the TOC. If you or anyone else should continue to hide the Episode headline from the TOC, you will be reported to the Administrator's board. 93.135.14.96 (talk) 11:06, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

You're repeating yourself, buddy. There's a link for the episode in the infobox to the right of the article, so your argument is pointless. If you continue edit warring, you'll be warned and blocked/banned. One only needs to read my archives to see that I've reported plenty of you "ownership" types. Alex|The|Whovian 11:08, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Let me get this right, though. You consider "consensus" as forcing your way in and forcing your edits, compared to "no consensus" as multiple and many editors having no issue with how it is? Interesting. Alex|The|Whovian 11:12, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

So you're editing in Wikipedia for long enough? Brilliant! Then you should be able to provide a Wikipedia policy or guideline which allows you to hide the Episode headline from the TOC. Any other thing is simply an attempt trying to push your preferred version unto an article. Consensus can be established via silence from other Editors, very true. Yet, at any time any editor, including IP editors, can appear and challenge that "silent" consensus via bold editing. And btw, you have not addressed my main & major concern, which is the fact that the episode headline is not only relocated "elsewhere", it no longer appears on the TOC. Lastly, your "I'm the big mighty Wikipedia-Editor, check me talk page archive" doesn't scare me. Thank you.

Policy? Sure! Quoting another user on the same topic: Per WP:PARAGRAPH, sections should contain prose. Per WP:PROPERSPLIT, you create a summary of what you're splitting. A section that says "Episodes" and sends you away from the page is not prose, nor does it contain a summary. There needs to be a summary, given that we have one with the "Premise". And again, do sign your posts. Not that hard, buddy. I also see you're quoting WP:BRD with your "bold" editing. I also see how you forgot about the "R" part - revert. Alex|The|Whovian 11:17, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Premises has nothing whatsoever to do with Episodes. So to place the Episode headline underneath the premise headline doens't make any sense. Why do you want to hide the Episode headline in a section where noone will look for it? Btw, 2 min pls, I'm looking at your guideline links. 93.135.14.96 (talk) 11:21, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

You've now been reverted by another editor. Revert them, and you're up for edit-warring! As I've already told you, the link for the episode page is already in the infobox, so technically, it's not really even needed in the article. Alex|The|Whovian 11:22, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Are you seriously sending me to a user-generated essay? Both links which you've provided do not in any place provided any guideline which allows you to hide the Episode headline from the TOC.Again, pls provide a Wikipedia guideline or policy (not essay) to support your removal of the Episode headline. 93.135.14.96 (talk) 11:26, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Already done that. It's your choice if you accept it or not, and if you don't, that's your fault for not "liking" the way the site is run. The TOC reflects the article's content, and if the policies apply to the content, they apply to the TOC. Alex|The|Whovian 11:28, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

So, your final reply is that after I kindly asked you to provide a Wikipedia Policy or Guideline you gave a link to a non-policy and non-guideline ESSAY, and a link to an information page, which has nothing to do with what I requested for. This clearly suggests, that you do not have any Wikipedia policy or guideline to support your removal of the pisode headline from the TOC. Wikipedia has hundreds of TV series articles, and all of them, with the exceptions of those you & your friends tampered with, have the Episode headline visible in the TOC. If you want the episode headline removed from the TOC, you must establish consensus for that.93.135.14.96 (talk) 11:33, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

You beg for policy, but you break policy by reverting not three (as 3RR dictates), not four, but five times. SIX, if you include the initial edit. Shows how much respect for policy you have. And this whole June thing? That's when a new separate article was created, given that a Season 2 table was being created! Give me "policy" that REQUIRES the "Episodes" header to be present. Alex|The|Whovian 11:35, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Your edits and your reverts concering the Episode headline are not supported by any Wikipedia Guidelines or Policies, or else you would have pointed to them. This is the final result of YOUR edits. Forget about mine, let me worry about my edits. You have admitted to not have any support from Wikipedia guidelines and policies in your removal of the well-establised Episode headline from the TOC. That's all that matters. Please refrain from removing and hiding the Episode headline from the TOC. Thank you very much. 93.135.14.96 (talk) 11:40, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Forget about my edits, let me worry about my edits. I could use that here too. You've provided no guideline or policy that requires an Episode subsection to be present either. ALL of your arguments apply to your very same edits as well. Alex|The|Whovian 11:41, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Please feel free to report me to any Administrator's board over any alleged war editing. I will meet you on that board. The bottom line remain: removing the Episode headline from the TOC is a waste of time for Wikipedia readers, and is in direct opposition to what hundreds of other TV series articles have in their TOC. Thank you. 93.135.14.96 (talk) 11:43, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Alleged? You've reverted six times (seven, including the initial). That's FAR from alleged. And another policy: simply because other articles do it, doesn't make it right. Alex|The|Whovian 11:44, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

iZombie season 2 order

Please stop reverting edits regarding iZombie's season 2 order. The line in the original TVLine source you quoted, "this brings iZombie‘s Season 2 episode total to 18", was an inaccurate oversimplification. Backup script orders do not guarantee the production of more episodes; it merely indicates that the network has some interest in ordering more episodes. They can go either way, usually depending on the network's confidence in the creative team's direction. The Deadline source I used clarifies this by stating that the move is only a "confidence booster" towards obtaining a full-season order, and that currently, "Rob Thomas’ zom-dram-rom-com iZombie starring Rose McIver has a 13-episode Season 2 order". That is to say, until the network orders more episodes, the season order will remain at 13. Soren121 (talk) 05:05, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

They've ordered actual scripts, not backup scripts. Simply because you disagree with a source, doesn't automatically make it wrong. But to prevent edit-warring, I'll leave it how it is. Alex|The|Whovian 13:10, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

A script order and a backup script order are just different names for the same thing. The issue is not that I simply disagree with the source, it's that a different primary source (Deadline) gives different information regarding what iZombie's production order is. Since TVLine's article contradicts the definition of a script order, and Deadline does not, I'm inclined to agree with Deadline's article. (Also, my apologies if I've come off as rude-- I'm just trying to explain my case.) Soren121 (talk) 14:17, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Mr Robot - closure

Given that there has been no more contribution for a week at Talk:Mr. Robot#Proposed edit, and there are enough contribution from 3 editors (Dark Cocoa Frosting, Jordan 1972 and me) to make a compromise edit (which I did make). Drmargi has refused to contribute apart from vague observations, and my compromised edit included what she wanted except worded differently. At the moment she is reverting all edits, including the compromise edits and even those that are not in dispute.

Series overview help

I've been trying to convert the series overview table at List of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack episodes with little success. While everything else is fine, I can't get the correct season numbers. Can you please check it out? --AussieLegend (✉) 16:56, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hey AussieLegend. So the following is the code you need. However, since you have 2 "extras" before the first season, the template is currently not coded to handle that, so with the code I'm giving you, the order is "Shorts" "Season 1" "Pilot" and then "Seasons 2-3". That may be something to address. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:24, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Code

{{Series overview | extra0 = {{Series overview/special | color = #000 | link = <includeonly>List of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack episodes</includeonly>#Shorts (2007–08) | episodes = 5 | linkT = Shorts | start = {{start date|2007|7|27}} | end = {{end date|2007|8|24}} }} {{Series overview/special | color = #808080 | link = <includeonly>List of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack episodes</includeonly>#Pilot and "Captain and ToeNeil" | episodes = 1 <small>(2 segments)</small> | linkT = Pilot | start = {{start date|2007|5|7}} }} | color1 = #991f1f | link1 = <includeonly>List of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack episodes</includeonly>#Season 1 (2008–09) | episodes1 = 20 <small>(40 segments)</small> | start1 = {{start date|2008|6|5}} | end1 = {{end date|2009|7|23}} | color2 = #cc2929 | link2 = <includeonly>List of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack episodes</includeonly>#Season 2 (2009–10) | episodes2 = 20 <small>(36 segments)</small> | start2 = {{start date|2009|7|30}} | end2 = {{end date|2010|6|21}} | color3 = #cca37a | link3 = <includeonly>List of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack episodes</includeonly>#Season 3 (2010) | episodes3 = 6 <small>(12 segments)</small> | start3 = {{start date|2010|07|05}} | end3 = {{end date|2010|08|30}} }}

Sure it handles it. You just place the two {{Series overview/special}}'s one after the other in the "extra0" parameter, much like how we can place infinite {{Episode list}}'s in the "episodes" parameter in {{Episode table}}. I've modified the code - you'll find exactly what you're looking for there. Alex|The|Whovian 22:58, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Good to see those empty maintenance categories linked on your user page, Alex. You, Aussie and the rest of the WP:TV crew deserve a lot of credit for resolving the color-contrast issues in timely fashion. That said, I very much regret the unnecessary rhetoric that preceded the real work; it was a problem to be solved, not a war to be waged, and the demands for instant resolution were a little misplaced. I hope I helped, at least in a small way, to get things back on track. I look forward to crossing paths with you under happier circumstances in the future. Cheers.

Prevention from discussing TBBT Episodes page?

Alex: I quite agree—the Big Bang Theory Episodes Talk page isn't a forum. And indeed, if a Running Time column were added to the article, as I suggested, it wouldn't be necessary to editorialize; readers could see for themselves how the show has been methodically shortened as it's become more popular. However, I didn't know if my suggestion would be taken seriously unless I explained why I considered it worthwhile. ¶ Doesn't WP encourage discussion between active editors? If you didn't like my behind-the-scenes post, wouldn't a more appropriate response have been to reply to it, rather than taking it upon yourself to "revert" (delete) it? This would also have let others express their opinions. You know, the whole democracy vs. despotism thing? – AndyFielding (talk) 09:11, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Your posts was primarily about what broadcasters are doing, how they cram in more and more ads, and puts pressure on the writers. This is definitely a more forum-like post, which also consists entirely of original research and your personal view on the content, hence the removal. If you were serious about adding an extra column for run time, I suggest doing it in a more editor-like fashion (though I don't see there being much support behind the idea, given the fact that no other series includes such data in their episode table, and if it were truly required, there would be a dedicated variable for it in {{Episode list}}).

Doctor Who (series 3) and Doctor Who (series 9)

Hi AlexTheWhovian, I don't think the colour of DW Series 3 really matches the DVD image, but I don't know what colour it should be. Series 9 colour should probably be charcoal grey, but I don't think the image is right (what happened to the one were they were running away from explosion? I think this is the correct image). What do you think? Cheers, --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 21:26, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Series 3's colour somewhat reflects the colour of the circular grid behind the Doctor and the Master, though could possibly be changed to a brown or lighter colour (yellow-ish)? And Series 9 is reflecting the use of colour from Series 8 by having its colour as the colour of the text on the DVD colour. The cover for Series 9 was updated by the BBC, meaning that the running/explosion cover would be outdated and no longer the current DVD cover. Alex|The|Whovian 23:46, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

I thought the Series 8 colour was because of the red lining of his coat as well as the text. Thanks for explaining the cover situation in Series 9, also Clara's costume is yellow too so it works both ways. As for Series 3 I can't think of a colour suitable that wouldn't be too close to the 2008–2010 specials, I think the best thing to do is to work out which colour/colours are most featured or stand out the most in the image and use that. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 16:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

@Emperorofthedaleks: What would you say to #1F0C08 or #493A28? Alex|The|Whovian 01:32, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

I think #493A28 works better, it matches the grid perfectly, I'd use that one. Also the navy blue colour of Series 1 doesn't match the worn blue colour of the TARDIS the way the other Series colours do. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 20:21, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Alex, re: [6], I noticed that you've reverted a few of this user's See also sections. I've left him a few notes on his talk page, since he seems to be missing the mark with his edits. Just an FYI, or more aptly, an IYC (if you care). :) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:45, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: No problems. :) I would have posted on his talk page about it myself, but it was two in the morning for me at the time. Alex|The|Whovian 01:07, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

You work hard. Fuhgeddaboudit! :D Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:24, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

October 2015

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please use an edit summary so other editors know why you are reverting their edits.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 12:58, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

@Liz: The edit that required this notification was ...? Alex|The|Whovian 12:59, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, AlexTheWhovian,

I was noticed one revert you did and when I looked at the edit history for Doctor Who (series 9), it seemed like you had done a number of reversions without letting the editor know why. Please know that I don't view an Edit Summary notice as a warning but just a reminder. I know you are a very active editor, especially on articles involving Doctor Who which is a very popular subject on Wikipedia. If you revert an editor, it would be helpful for them to know why so they do not make a similar mistake in the future. I hope this clarifies the situation for you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 14:12, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Arrow summary

Hi Alex,

Why did you recently revert my split of a paragraph covering both seasons 3 and 4 into two paragraphs? The structure of that section seemed to be one paragraph per season and my edit was made to maintain that structure. What am I missing?

thanks, Contributor tom (talk) 10:49, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

@Contributor tom: Please check the article's history for similar reverts by multiple edits. Policy dictates that we don't have one-line paragraphs, and we separate it into its own paragraph once there is more detail. Alex|The|Whovian 11:09, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: I've edited the paragraph to be two sentences, breaking a long, run-on sentence into two different ones. Contributor tom (talk) 11:15, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

@Contributor tom: There is still not enough content yet to warrant its own paragraph. Alex|The|Whovian 11:16, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Fair enough. However, the long run-on sentence should be broken into two sentences. Please don't casually revert all of a user's edits just because you disagree with one of them. Thanks.Contributor tom (talk) 11:21, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

@Contributor tom: I'll wait for another user to revert you, I'm not going to edit war like yourself. As I said before: Check the article's history for at least a dozen reverts of the same kind by multiple users. I'm not "casually" reverting you, as you claim. (BTW, no need to ping me on my own talk page.) Alex|The|Whovian 11:36, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: I have not engaged in any "edit war". I *agreed* with your last point and confined my last edit to just the run-off sentence. Please get your facts straight before making accusations. It is exactly this casual disregard of other users' actions that makes your reverts feel arbitrary. I'm not alone in this impression (see Liz above). Please remember that editing the wikipedia is a collaborative activity; you don't "own" any pages, despite all the hard work that you do on several of them. Thanks. Contributor tom (talk) 00:29, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

@Contributor tom: I repeat, no need to ping me on my own talk page, bud. And the above was because I didn't add a summary - do not use discussions that do not relate to you or the current conversation to incorrectly support your own. Nobody is owning any pages here, so your accusations are false. This is over now. Alex|The|Whovian 02:34, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Doctor Who (season 19) colour

Hi AlexTheWhovian, I've been looking at Doctor Who seasons/series and noticed the green colour of season 19 isn't compliant for white or black on Colour Contrast Check, do you want me to change to lighter green? --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 00:07, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

@Emperorofthedaleks: It is compliant... Alex|The|Whovian 02:36, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Ok, but it says "Are colours compliant?" "NO", I though the most you could get away with was "sort of." Also, off-topic, do you know the name of the current official boss of the Genovese crime family? --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 04:42, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

@Emperorofthedaleks: Technically, all that matters is that the "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" says "YES", and the Contrast Ratio is over 7. And no idea. Alex|The|Whovian 00:13, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for clearing that up. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 00:19, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you

Although I did check on that color contrast site, so I thought they met the requirements. Interestingly enough, your changes don't make them look too different. Amaury (talk) 01:00, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

@Amaury: No problems. Some of them were only fractionally different, but it makes all the difference to those with colour accessibility issues. I just noticed when they were tagged under the links on my main user page. Alex|The|Whovian 01:04, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Amazing how so little can make a big different. :)

While I have you, perhaps you can be of assistance. On List of Lab Rats episodes, I just noticed that when I updated the table parameters from that other outdated table code—the one with "scope," etc.—the table contents for the fourth season are no longer showing, though the heading is. I've done this on a few other articles, so I think I just made a slip-up somewhere, but I can't find where. Thanks. Amaury (talk) 01:27, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

@Amaury: You forgot the equals sign. ;) Just as you do background = #8F2F8F, you need to do episodes = ... for the uses of the {{Episode list}} template. Alex|The|Whovian 02:12, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I must have accidentally erased it after copying and pasting. Amaury (talk) 02:19, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Godfather character infobox

Hi Alex, could we have a black infobox with white text for characters from The Godfather novel/films? I think this would be better than the plain character box. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 05:01, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

It can be easily done by adding | color = black to the usage of {{Infobox character}}. Alex|The|Whovian 05:05, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Removing Felicity from Arrow episode descriptions

Can you tell me why you keep deleting Felicity from episode descriptions? She's a main character in the show and she has not been mentioned once in any of the season 4 descriptions. Oliver and Felicity living in Ivy Town was an important part/plot of 401, and Felicity becoming CEO of Palmer Tech was a major part of the storyline in 402. So it is important and should be there.Afan81 (talk) 14:19, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

@Afan81: You've received multiple reasons for the reverts in the article's history. Read them. Alex|The|Whovian 14:20, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Where do I read them? I'm new at this. Afan81 (talk) 14:21, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

@Afan81: Click the "View history" tab when you're reading the article; top right, near the "Edit source" tab. And you can begin a discussion on the article's talk page (just like you've done here) by clicking the "Talk" tab at the top left of the page. Alex|The|Whovian 14:24, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Defiance season 3

I'm so sorry about my edit summary. I thought you were the same person who keeps adding in false main characters. I was trying to fix the main cast section after somebody put Baby Jake as a series regular. Again, I wasn't like calling you out, I was stopping a couple jerks from adding vandalism to the page.S hannon434 (talk) 21:58, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

@S hannon434: No problems! And yeah, he's probably not a regular as such, more guest or recurring. A shame the series was cancelled. Alex|The|Whovian 22:08, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Article splitting

You should probably have a quick look at WP:PROSPLIT and WP:PATT for the proper attribution when splitting off season or episode list pages.–Dark Cocoa Frosting (talk) 11:21, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

@Dark Cocoa Frosting: Given that you're talking about the splitting of episode tables to separate pages from the main series' page, then this is almost always typically done once a second season table has been/can be created. Alex|The|Whovian 11:32, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

I agree, but not my point. Have a look at WP:PROSPLIT and WP:PATT for the proper attribution when splitting.–Dark Cocoa Frosting (talk) 11:35, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

@Dark Cocoa Frosting: Those are some large pages. Is there a part in particular that you're wanting me to look at? Alex|The|Whovian 11:36, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

The WP links should go to specific short sections, of course. Sorry if that did not work. Here they are in full wikilinks: Wikipedia:Splitting#Procedure and Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia#Proper_attribution.–Dark Cocoa Frosting (talk) 11:40, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

So... I need to provide links in the edit summary when splitting? I'm being linked to these pages without explanation as to why, so I'm completely unaware of what I'm (apparently) not doing correctly. Alex|The|Whovian 11:49, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Quoting verbatim from those sections:

• the page receiving the split material must have an edit summary noting "split content from [[article name]]". (Do not omit this step or omit the page name.)
• A note should also be made in the edit summary of the source article, "split content to [[article name]]".
• It is a requirement of Wikipedia's licensing that attribution be given to the main content author(s). The {{Copied}} template can be placed on the talk page of both articles for this purpose.

Specifically, for 12 Monkeys (TV series) and The Librarians (2014 TV series), no edit summary link both the main and the list article, and no talk page attribution on either talk page. I don't want to just complain, so I'll help with the talk pages.–Dark Cocoa Frosting (talk) 12:10, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Once Upon a Time episode count

Hi, I think your civility notice you just posted is unnecessary, if it was meant toward me. You have seen, first hand, the undying relentlessness of this editor, they hardly deserve respect at this point. Yea, I did not disparage the individual, but rather the action. However, I have edited my wording to a less acerbic jab, but the fact remains that this disruptive activity is out of hand. LLArrow (talk) 06:42, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

@LLArrow: I agree about the editor, and see this new discussion of theirs going nowhere, as a solid consensus has already been built. However, from past experience, I know that a civil tone is always needed, even (and especially) when I find an editor annoying or disruptive. Alex|The|Whovian

Wise words, but a bit of fiery dialogue is the only way to get across to certain editors. LLArrow (talk) 07:37, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Template:TableTBA

The new color you selected still doesn't work against Wikipedia's standard background color.[7] I say with just make it black. What do you think? Grapesoda22 (talk) 23:34, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia's background colour is white, though? [8] What part of it is #F2F2F2? Alex|The|Whovian 01:53, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

The background color in the episode tables is #F2F2F2. Grapesoda22 (talk) 02:16, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

It is when a summary for the episode is present, but if there is a summary then the episode has aired, and the credits should have been filled in by then. A row without a summary is #F9F9F9 [9], and this matches the contrast compliancy. Alex|The|Whovian 02:25, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

I still say we should change it. In several cases (like this, this and this) the ratings are never made available to the public and therefore we are forced to have it listed as "N/A" permanently, even after the short summary is added. Grapesoda22 (talk) 03:13, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

@Grapesoda22: Fair point there. How's #4F4F4F? [10] Alex|The|Whovian 13:46, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: I would prefer that we pick something darker that would also work with Template:Unknown, Template:Dunno, and Template:N/a so all these templates of a similar nature would match. Grapesoda22 (talk) 23:51, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

@Grapesoda22: You have a point there; I've changed it to #2C2C2C, given that the first two templates you linked to use that colour. Technically, {{N/a}} fails the contrast scheme [11], but changing it to #2C2C2C would satisfy it [12]. I've made an edit request on the template to have it changed, given its protection level. Alex|The|Whovian 00:39, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Well I had messaged an admin about Template:N/a a few days ago with no response. There are two other color issues I wanted to bring up. Neither Template:Ya or Template:Na work.[13] [14] They are both technically images placed on a solid back drop, but they don't read as images when used in an article and they also can't be clicked on. Grapesoda22 (talk) 00:55, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

I've adjusted {{Ya}} [15]. I've also adjusted {{Na}} [16]. Alex|The|Whovian 01:26, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! Grapesoda22 (talk) 03:22, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Episode templates for List of Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes

Hi Alex, I wanted to replace the raw codes with templates on the Curb episodes, but theres a "Story by" column I don't know how to replace and I can't get the length right. Can you do it plz? Also theres no colour on the HBO special and the first series has a white #FFFFFF colour that might need to be changed, thanks. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 13:30, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

@Emperorofthedaleks: The use of {{Episode list}} uses "WrittenBy", so just use "|writer=WIDTH |writerT=Story by". This will include the writer column, set a width to it, and change the text to "Story by". Alex|The|Whovian 13:37, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, but what do I do about white colour and the no colour? --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 13:41, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

@Emperorofthedaleks: Just pick another colour for Season 1, replacing all occurrences of FFFFFF, and for the Special, look at how colour is added for the other tables, and do the same for that table. Alex|The|Whovian 13:43, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, but what colours do you think they should be? Because I don't want the colours to inappropriate for the series. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 13:47, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

@Emperorofthedaleks: Look up the DVD covers for the season/special, and use the main colour of that (adjust if necessary). If none exist, use a random colour. Alex|The|Whovian 13:50, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Alright, cheers. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 13:55, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

All done, I made the Season 1 colour #8F212E to match "THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON" and "THE MANY MOODS OF LARRY DAVID" texts on the Season 1 DVD cover and I couldn't find a DVD cover for the HBO special, so it is a yellow colour that I got from the text in the series' title card, but this could be changed. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 14:31, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

@Emperorofthedaleks: Top job! I've also templated the Series Overview, and added a row for the HBO Special. Alex|The|Whovian 14:40, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Alex, User:Drovethrughosts has reverted the Season 1 colour to white, is this ok? Because although I've seen Black used as a colour on many other episode lists articles I've never seen white and I had the impression it wasn't to be used. If I change it back to #8F212E, which matches the coloured texts on the DVD cover Drovethrughosts will probably revert my edit, so could you explain the situation to Drovethrughosts? Cheers. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 16:35, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

@Emperorofthedaleks: You were also reverting his edits of adding widths to the first two columns, so I've gone and restored just the colours for Season 1. Also, please use the edit summary when making edits, as Drovethrughosts requested that you do. Alex|The|Whovian 23:27, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

November 2015

I did not say I owned the pages on The Magician's Apprentice (Doctor Who) and The Witch's Familiar. I was saying I didn't agree, and if you want me to agree, persuade me you're right about what the Boy/Young Davros character should be credited as.Theoosmond (talk) 20:31, 8 November 2015 (UTC) Also, I only talk to wikipedians if I feel they are willing to talk, and you did not seem willing to talk at all.Theoosmond (talk) 21:59, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

@Theoosmond: You obviously didn't pay attention to the warning I posted on your wall. Firstly, I never said that you said that you owned the article. However, reverting with a summary of "I disagree with this, so convince me before you add it into the article" is a very "I own this article"-manner of speaking. Take note: manner. Secondly, you're the one wanting to change from the status quo, so it's up to you to start the discussion. I'm simply keeping it how it's always been on every television episode article on Wikipedia. If you start the discussion as required, I will reply. Alex|The|Whovian

@AlexTheWhovian: Alright, I understand and I'll continue this dicussion on the talk page for The Magician's Apprentice (Doctor Who), under the sub-heading Boy/Young Davros and there we can settle on what the character in question should be credited as.Theoosmond (talk) 18:34, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Actually, no need to go to the section of the 'Talk:The Magician's Apprentice' page. I'm keeping him credited as 'boy'. And FYI I've changed Sandeep's credit to 'Little Boy', as credited by BBC, on The Zygon Invasion page.Theoosmond (talk) 21:19, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism at Template:Series overview/doc

Just in case you weren't aware, the vandalism at Template:Series overview/doc is being carried out elsewhere by multiple, related editors so I've opened an SPI at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Genorobinson455. --AussieLegend (✉) 06:18, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I wasn't aware. Alex|The|Whovian 07:17, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

WP:TVCAST

WP:TVCAST is not, as you claim, a "policy". It is a guideline, and, as such, it is not mandatory, ArBCom has been quite clear that MOS guidelines are not an excuse for WP:edit warring. Per WP:BRD, when your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss it on the article talk page, not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring. During the discussion, the article remains in the status quo ante. So, please, do as you have been asked and discuss your edit on the article's talk page. Thanks, BMK (talk) 04:33, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

@Beyond My Ken: Firstly, I wonder what you don't get about the header of this page: "If I left you a message: please answer on your talk page, as I am watching it." And yes, they're not an excuse for edit warring, as you've now done (3 reverts compared to my 2 - that is edit warring). It is far from a "bold" edit - guidelines exist for a reason, and you could go around all day and argue that you don't need to follow guidelines at all. In that case, why do guidelines exist at all? Alex|The|Whovian 04:37, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

The article has been in the state you found it for quite a long time, so, yes, your edit was a bold change, and you still need to discuss it on the talk page. If a guideline isn't mandatory, which they aren't, they are subject to consensus discussions between editors. (Also, my comment here was not in response to your unwarranted 3RR warning, I began writing it before I read that.) BMK (talk) 04:41, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

@Beyond My Ken: Well, obviously the decision to not include episode counts was a recent move, so it would have been a bit hard to remove the counts per guidelines before this date. So far, I'm only seeing one editor against the removal of the counts, so consensus should only be required once the number of opposing editors has risen. Given that it's only you so far, I see no reason as to why it shouldn't be you gaining the consensus on why we shouldn't follow deliberately-created guidelines. (On a side-note, even as it stands at the moment, the format of the counts is extremely poor formatting, using (X episodes) then (X) for subsequent cast.) Alex|The|Whovian 04:47, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it was recent, in this edit from November 4th and, in my opinion, was not adequately discussed. It's been a very clear community consensus for years that WikiProjects do not automatically have control over the formatting of articles they claim in their domain, and cannot hold dominion over MOS sections dealing with those articles. When guidelines such as these are questioned, they need to be re-examined by a broader section of the community.

In any case, this discussion should be taking place on the article talk page and not here. BMK (talk) 04:55, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

@Beyond My Ken: How is this not adequately discussed? It was discussed by a multitude of editors to a great length. Yes, they may not have control, but when a discussion like that has taken place, there is more than obviously consensus between many editors, and it's up to you to discuss why you disagree with it instead of removing it. You decided that this was to be discussed here by posting on my talk page, so for myself, it'll continue here. Alex|The|Whovian 04:58, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Now that another editor has reverted you, there are more for the removal of the information than there are for keeping it, so it's now up to you to gain consensus to keep it. Consensus is for the more challenged edit, and this is yours, given that you are now the only editor against the removal of it. Alex|The|Whovian 06:37, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Danish airing

All other series are usually listed in aired countries. This is not "at TV-guide" even if the second series aired now. We can't have one rule for one article and other rules for all other similar series. Boeing720 (talk) 11:17, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

@Boeing720: Can you clarify which series you are talking about? I'm somewhat confused here. Alex|The|Whovian 11:19, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Nevermind, now I realize which series. Firstly, it's unsourced. Secondly, WP:TVINTL states we only list countries where English is the main language. Alex|The|Whovian 11:27, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

In a hast - Midsomer Murders Boeing720 (talk) 11:37, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

A Touch of Frost Boeing720 (talk) 11:39, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

The Shadow Line (TV series) Boeing720 (talk) 11:46, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

I can't find any which does not contain international sales, or "overseas". They are never sourcered. But You can'tr simply impose new rules. Why should the sell of for instance Columbo be limited to countries where English is spoken ? We are obliged to use a global style. Boeing720 (talk) 11:46, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

If those series include countries where English is not the main language, then they are in the wrong and need to be fixed accordingly. Obviously, international English-speaking countries are fine. Who said that I am imposing new rules? Did you even read the policy? Just because other articles do something, doesn't make it correct. And EVERYTHING needs to be sourced. Alex|The|Whovian 11:56, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Well in the 90th something eposode of Midsummer Murders, begins in Copenhagen. But English is the only language spoken. No episode og A Touch of Frost deals with any other language than English. But both these TV-series are sold across most of Europe as well as at other continents. And this is indeed of encyclopedical value. I think you are attempting to impose new, and lowers standards, by removing list of countries where Black Sails (and other TV-series) have been aired. And what language (or languages) that are official in those countries are of next to no encyclopedical value at all. Boeing720 (talk) 01:43, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Take it to the Talk Page of WP:TVINTL if you disagree with it. I'm simply putting the correct policy across. Which is not, as you believe, forcing new and lower-standard policies across.

RE: Craig Owen

Hi, Alex. Although I agree with you about Craig, it was sourced to a Doctor Who Confidential episode (which I thought was a rather weak source, to be honest). Just a heads up. DonQuixote (talk) 18:16, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Me

Maisie Williams has been credited as Me for her last two appearances, surely one may safely assume she will use it this time? It's been made abundantly clear she has abandoned the name "Ashildr" - she recalls the name in neither of her last two appearances, and she's hardly going to be called "Frank" or "Gunhilda", is she?

I come in peace,

Thanks,

Gotha^☭  _Talk 00:45, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

@Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh: It may be safe to say from an original research viewpoint, but it's unsourced, given that within the story itself the Doctor calls her Ashildr. Best to wait until the episode airs

@AlexTheWhovian: Alright, then.

Thanks very much for the prompt reply,

Gotha^☭  _Talk 00:53, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

help me understand how this works!

Ok, I guess I get now that you need a third party reference or an edit will be "undone." What I don't understand is WHY. If something is a DIRECT QUOTE from a primary source, especially a well-known, public source that is easily accessible, why would you need (for example) an interview with Steve Moffett saying, "Remember where I say, 'to be or not to be, that is the question,' well, that is from Shakespeare's play Hamlet." Why can't you just point directly to Hamlet? It would seem to me that many, many external references would be left out otherwise and people would A) wrongly imagine that something that is a quote is new, and B) would be deprived of the richness of the source material. Tone of voice is not available in a message like this, but I am not asking belligerently.... I am truly perplexed!

Thank you for your time and the work you do here.

Renata Byrne

Everything on Wikipedia must be sourced, including continuity and quotes. Wikipedia editors could simply add a load of incorrect quotes without sources, and many would assume that it's correct. Adding sources prevents this. Also, please make sure you sign your posts with ~~~~. Thank you! Alex|The|Whovian 03:26, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

OK, yes, I understand. But my point was slightly different. I had asked why you cannot link to Macbeth (primary source) rather than to a secondary source interview, as on the "Sleep No More" page for Doctor Who, where there are TWO Macbeth links, NEITHER to the primary source! So as you said, it could have been misquoted (by one of those secondary or tertiary sources). For the direct quote part, wouldn't it have made more sense to link to the play rather than writers from British newspapers?

I added the quote from the song in the musical Oliver and then linked (or tried to) directly to the Wikipedia article for the exact song within the musical (they have entries for the musical OLIVER as well as a specific entry for the song "Consider Yourself." Would I have had to instead linked to SOMEONE ELSE saying it was from Oliver - again, for example, and article in the Guardian? Or if the article had had the lyrics, would that have been good enough?

I apologize for these newbie questions, but seriously, as someone with a PhD I would have been laughed out of the academy if in my dissertation I had relied on secondary and tertiary sources when I could have quoted the primary source, so I am trying to understand the rationale!

PS I have been a Doctor Who fan since the 60's! I am a bit older than the show!

Thank you again.

Renata Byrne (Your last comment - do you mean sign your name with 96.39.117.86 (talk) 10:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC) INSTEAD OF a name or IN ADDITION? Thank you!)

The links to Macbeth are simply because it is mentioned within the sentence in question; the content is then expanded upon outside of the linking Linking to the play itself is not the point here. The need for a third-party source is to show that it is actually notable to the episode. How do we know that the writers deliberately pulled that line from the song to use in the episode? How do we know that it wasn't a coincidence? We don't, and hence the need for tertiary sources, so yes, you would need to reference a reliable article written by someone who noted the similarity and that it was actually noteworthy.

Wikipedia is not the same as a PhD, nowhere near it. Everything must be source reliably, so that we actually know that if something appears to have come from somewhere else, we know that that's what actually happened. There's plenty of more information concerning this at Wikipedia:Verifiability. And yes, that's what I meant by signing your name (more information on this at Wikipedia:Signatures). Alex|The|Whovian 10:39, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the detailed response - I get it now! But I can't help but say that it does seem counter-intuitive; if someone clearly quotes Shakespeare, the question of whether he MEANT to or intended to seems odd, because the ONLY other option would be that the writer stole the line and meant to pass it off as his own, that is, he plagiarized it! There's not a snowball's chance in heck that it was a random coincidence (and that is certainly true of quoting a very well-known British musical; Moffett, Gatiss and and the whole current crew have both quoted to and referred to famous musicals in the past, from "Les Mis" to "Oklahoma" - Sherlock - and "Consider Yourself" is really the most famous song in the musical. There is no other source for the line....)

It would seem to make sense to have some sort of other category of reference in addition to the one there already is, so that, if someone quotes, say, Lincoln's Gettysburg address, but there is no newspaper article MENTIONING that the episode contained Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, one could still say, "This s Lincoln's Gettysburg Address; however, the writers of Doctor Who have never publicly acknowledged it!" Again - people are misled by imagining the writers made it up!  :-)

I do get there are some references that COULD have been accidental coincidences, like having to go the "long way around" in Heaven Sent.... And I do get that the requirements for a PhD are far, far stricter than Wikipedia - one CANNOT ignore primary sources or it would be plagiarism.

Anyway thanks again! I promise I get it and have no more questions! Renata 96.39.117.86 (talk) 13:07, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Appreciation

Thanks for your work bro

supergirl episodes

if the episodes section of supergirl keeps getting changed to reflect actual information by multiple people you should take the hint. i dont care about continuity just fact and fact is episode # 4 of super is labeled as Episode 5 when the production number clearly shows it is intended to be 4. who cares how it aired, thats what the air date is for. episode 4 of super girl is episode 4 (solidified when they release the dvd/blurays) and that is not shown by the wiki page. nonameonpurpose.

It's also getting reverted by multiple and more experienced editors. It has been discussed on the talk page. You don't care about it, but the guidelines of editing Wikipedia do. The production codes already indicate the episodes were swapped, as does the note at the bottom of the episode table. Episodes are listed in the order of their airdate, and not continuity. It's that simple. Alex|The|Whovian 06:26, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

dude you have any idea how wrong what you just did was - you just called me a plaguirist - i wrote the most of that summary right out of my own head except the part were someone else added "disapproves of his daughter getting back together with Jimmy" thus as usual the internet stole from me not the fuking other way around!--68.231.26.111 (talk) 10:54, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Doctor_Who#Revelations_about_the_Doctor

Hi, what I wrote [17] seemed directly relevant to 'revelations about the doctor' and 'that the Doctor was more than just an ordinary Time Lord' so wondering why you reverted my edit. crandles (talk) 13:34, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

@C-randles: Entirely unsourced (main one), poor format and incorrect styling. Alex|The|Whovian 13:35, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt reply. Many things seem sourced only to the wikipedia article on the relevant episode. I have since noticed edits around the hybrid is 'me' is more ambiguous than the Doctor proclaiming he is the hybrid. I note that may be difficult to deal with without bringing in OR. I still feel that 'the Doctor was more than just an ordinary Time Lord' section needs expansion given what has happened in the last two episodes. Perhaps you are able to formulate something better than my first attempt? If not I may consider having another attempt unless you reply here with good reason(s) for no such edit. crandles (talk) 14:01, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

'Episode references'

Blindspot episode 11

I don't understand why episode 11 can't stay in the table, it works just fine for many other series pages. There's no need to do things differently just because the title has not been announced yet – that was already made clear. nyuszika7h (talk) 12:05, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@Nyuszika7H: Many editors that I've worked with over many series articles have come to the understanding of a standard practice of including a row for an episode once and only once at least two items of information are available for the episode (e.g. director/air date, title/writer, etc.) Much like why Game of Thrones (season 6) has a row for Episode 1 (director/air date), but no rows for other episodes (only director). Alex|The|Whovian 12:08, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

I see. It's not a big deal, just a bit unusual to me. nyuszika7h (talk) 12:09, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@Nyuszika7H: No problems. Just working on what I've done in the past. If you wish to add it back to the table, there'd be no problems with it. Alex|The|Whovian 12:10, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not going to change it back, but yeah, when there's not even an air date, you can't really be sure they will be aired in that order, so I probably wouldn't include them either in that case. nyuszika7h (talk) 12:13, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Colors used in CSI seasonal articles

Alex, I know you've done a lot of work with accessibility compliance and colorations on TV episode list articles. You might want to take a look at CSI, its episode articles, and some of the main cast articles. An editor has done a huge amount of updating, including infoboxes, and color changes. Some of the colors are very bright, and I doubt are 508 compliant. I don't have time to back-track it all, and you have the expertise. --Drmargi (talk) 03:47, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

@Drmargi: Thanks for letting me know! Under the "Colour Compliance" section on my user page is a bunch of links that alert me of the presence of non-compliant colours, but CSI hasn't appeared yet. I will, however, keep an eye on them an check the articles out presently. Alex|The|Whovian 03:52, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Episode table

Whats so bad about having smaller text? It's not ideal but It's not that bad. Grapesoda22 (talk) 02:32, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

The cells should be uniform in size between all of them - i.e. they're all small, or none of them are small. It's worse than the abbreviation, which at least matches how it's done with the "No." for overall and season/series, and the smaller text still takes up more space than when it's abbreviated. (I'm not seeing a removal of the abbreviations on the diff that I linked to, if you're so opposed to it...) Alex|The|Whovian 02:59, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

I've actually tried to discuss the issue of column widths and use of the abbreviation on Grapesoda22's talk page.[18] The number of columns that we try to have in most articles is problematic, especially at lower resolutions (1280px for example) and we need to keep column widths down as much as possible, which is why the abbreviation is needed. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:27, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

And then they cleared the discussion without replying; obviously a user who doesn't want to discuss real accessibility issues. Lower widths for columns that aren't as important is more important in itself, so that (as you said) there's room enough for existing columns on lower resolutions. Alex|The|Whovian 09:50, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Yeah I know I'm the worst editor of all time, and my only goal is to vandalize the site as much as possible with the sole intention of upsetting you. Grapesoda22 (talk) 16:14, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Please remain civil and if replying, contribute to the discussion at hand. Alex|The|Whovian 00:09, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

All I did was suggest a way to meet the size requirements without having to use the abbreviation and then everybody jumps down my throat like I' a felon. Grapesoda22 (talk) 00:34, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

And we responded with a way to further meet the requirements, given that the abbreviation further shortens the column. Alex|The|Whovian 00:41, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

The abbreviation is horrible worse yet the option to hover over it and read the whole word does not work on the mobile view. Grapesoda22 (talk) 00:53, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

And the use of <small> tags renders it uneven with the rest of the cells and takes up even more space. The better of two evils. Alex|The|Whovian 00:55, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Well, maybe we could just decrease the font size of all of the words in every cell. Not only would the words "Production code" fit as they should, but the other information would have a more comfortable fit as well. Grapesoda22 (talk) 01:01, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

And what of the abbreviations for "Number" in the "No. overall" and "No. in season/series" cells? Alex|The|Whovian 01:10, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

What about them? Grapesoda22 (talk) 01:13, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Do they stay? Do they go? Why mention the fact that you can't use the abbreviations "hover" effect on mobile for Production, but not for Numbers? Alex|The|Whovian 01:16, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

We could just use shorter and more simplistic phrases that get the message across like "series total" and "season total" or something. Grapesoda22 (talk) 01:19, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Template talk:Episode table#Column headers Alex|The|Whovian 01:22, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

With the smaller next the full word "number" would fit. Grapesoda22 (talk) 01:27, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Not according to the test cases in my sandbox. It will fit, yes, but still take up more room. Alex|The|Whovian 01:36, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

The second example in your sandbox is what I was thinking and it doesn't take up that much extra space. Grapesoda22 (talk) 01:48, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Stop changing the series nine section.

You have no source to back you up. Steven Moffat never said that the final episodes are one story. If you continue to edit it without a source I'll have to report you. I have inside information on the next DWM and know that Moffat and the DWM consider them separated, so you saying that Moffat ever said otherwise is beyond incorrect. Stop spreading misinformation. Microbat98 (talk) 00:48, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

@Microbat98: There is a discussion on the talk page, and until a consensus is reached, then the status quo must remain, which is what I am reverting to. You are the one edit-warring by forcing your edits without partaking in the existing discussion, which I have already mentioned exists. Your claimed "inside information" is entirely original research and cannot be considered, nor am I saying that Moffat said anything. Alex|The|Whovian 00:52, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I cannot access Talk pages on my mobile. But I do know that you cannot say that ?Moffat claims the final episodes are a single story if he hasn't claimed that. You can separate the stories, as that's not objective yet, but saying Moffat claimed something that he didn't is a lie. You have no source to back you up. I have no quarrel with the episode listings saying that they're the same story, but Moffat has not once claimed it was a single story and so putting that he did is a lie. I'm reverting the changes, and don't act as if you're not participating in this so called 'war' either. Microbat98 (talk) 01:00, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

@Microbat98: Sure you can. If the URL is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_(series_9), then the talk page URL is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Doctor_Who_(series_9). Just add "Talk:". And I've never claimed that Moffat said that. The text being reverted is "The series saw the return of the cliffhanger, with a three-part story for the first time since the third series, and eight of the remaining nine episodes divided into two-parters." Nothing about Moffat. And you're contradicting yourself - if you have a problem with claiming that the final three episodes are the same story number, then you have a problem with the episode table claiming exactly the same thing. You're the one warring, I'm the one reverting to WP:STATUSQUO - read that. Alex|The|Whovian 01:09, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

The Husbands of River Song

Hello... you can see why various editors keep changing "It is the first episode since "The Snowmen" not to feature Jenna Coleman..." to "It is the first episode since "The Angels Take Manhattan" not to feature Jenna Coleman..." I hope? They are focussing on "not to feature...". TATM didn't feature her, and this is the first one, since then, also not to feature her. It depends which way you read the sentence - you could read your preferred way as saying that "The Snowmen" didn't feature her. It probably needs rewording because I suspect many editors in the next few years are going to bat that one back and forth!

NB: It's also the first one since "The Bells of Saint John" and the first one since "The Rings of Akhaten" and so on and so on not to feature her, so it possibly makes more sense if the reading is per the IP's view. :)

Maybe something like "This is the first episode since Jenna Coleman's departure in..." and just omit the other info, which isn't really necessary for this article? Just a thought. Stephenb (Talk) 07:58, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

TPO guidelines

TPO guidelines state you should stop editing another's comments on a talk page if there is an objection, and I objected. Don't understand why you didn't just edit your own comment in the first place and respect my wishes if you had such an issue with it. Brocicle (talk) 11:44, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

I wasn't editing your comment, buddy. Alex|The|Whovian 01:15, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

List of The Flash (2014 TV series) episodes

I often sit here and just shake my head at the antics of some editors.[19] How can they not realise that something is seriously wrong with what they did? Have these people never heard of capital letters? Have they only ever used SMS (or should that be "sms"?) from birth and not picked up a pen, pencil or read a book, newspaper, advertisement......? Were they not at school at any point during their lives? sigh.... --AussieLegend (✉) 08:20, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Amen. It annoys me to no end, and most of them are probably only teens that are just here to mess thing up. And apparently they have nothing better to do on Christmas. Alex|The|Whovian 09:22, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

For your work

		The WikiProject Doctor Who Award
		For all your work fixing the templates and on Xmas night too boot. Okay I know it is the 26th for you :-) That is what time travel does to a person. You deserve this for your work no matter what day it is. MarnetteD|Talk 01:49, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

The Xmas special starts in a 15 minutes for me. It is always tough avoiding Dr Who wikiarticles so that I don't encounter spoilers. Cheers and enjoy your weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 01:49, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

@MarnetteD: Many thanks! I've already seen it - no spoilers, but you're in for a treat! Alex|The|Whovian 01:51, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

It was a treat ATW. After the more serious tone of the last two Xmas specials this was a great deal of fun as well. Was it just me or were the some Douglas Adams Hitchhiker references. The name Hydroflax and all the stuff about the restaurant sure made me think of DA anyway. I don't follow twitter or fan forums so I don't know if it was done on purpose or was simply a coincidence. The pocket holder with all the Dr's pics was fab as well. Do you think they will be smart enough to market that. I'm sure it would be a big seller! It would need a few blank sleeves for future use though :-) Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 03:39, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Mistake

I saw the first two season three eps of Defiance are together instead of two seperate eps when I was looking at all the eps on Amazon, iTunes, even Syfy on demand. World We Seize and The Last Unicorns both count as Ep. 1 due to the fact that they both aired as a two hour season premiere just like the pilot.72.64.207.76 (talk) 03:02, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Not according to the official DVD release: "All 13 episodes from Season 3 of Defiance are available on Blu-ray and DVD". Alex|The|Whovian 03:05, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

The Doctor's regenerations: bold text

Hi. I gather that the bold text on the page listing the Doctor's regenerations was removed due to MOS, but which specific MOS is it as I am a bit confused when it comes to MOS (so please forgive my lack of knowledge in this). Wouldn't keeping the bold text make it easier to navigate the list due to the large amount of text in that section? – Nick Mitchell 98 ^talk 03:33, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

@Nick Mitchell 98: Glad to explain. MOS:BOLD states that we should "avoid using boldface for emphasis in article text" (under "When not to use boldface"), which is what the usage of the bold in Regeneration (Doctor Who) was used for. If anything, italics can be used for emphasis of the Doctors in question. Alex|The|Whovian 03:38, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Thanks for explaining it to me. I understand now. I think it would be best to not bother with italics as that just looks a bit strange. – Nick Mitchell 98 ^talk 03:40, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Invalid warnings

If you care to look at the edit history of Companion (Doctor Who) you will find that my position was supported by 2 other editors and being reverted by a single one (prior to your revert). Please do not insinuate that multiple users have reverted my edits, when they haven't. GimliDotNet (talk) 07:55, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

@GimliDotNet: I did. Hence, multiple editors. And refer to your own talk page for the rest. Alex|The|Whovian 07:56, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	Thats was some eidting!!! You are a legend HighnessAtharva (talk) 09:18, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

@HighnessAtharva: Thank you? If it's concerning your edits on List of The Flash (2014 TV series) episodes, the plot summary you are providing is way too long. Alex|The|Whovian 09:21, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Mr. Robot

USA is running a marathon on Wednesday. I think we'd better prepare ourselves for a lot of "spoiler" removers. --Drmargi (talk) 09:10, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

@Drmargi: Thanks for the warning! I'm not up to date with American schedules, so I'll keep on the look-out. Alex|The|Whovian 09:13, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

And they're off... the IP from the other day (who I suspect is also Dark Warrior) just reverted and tried the old "abuse of WP:SPOILER" argument again. Sigh... I always forget you're in upside down land. Are you staying cool as you ring in the new year? --Drmargi (talk) 20:23, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

I've posted {{uw-spoiler}} on the IP's talk page (first warning for the year!). And as cool as one can be during an Australian summer; though given that I'm on holiday, it's more humid than hot. Alex|The|Whovian 01:31, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Policy vs. guideline

Regarding this, note that the MOS is not a policy, but a guideline. – nyuszika7h (talk) 14:04, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Disagree. We do not include it in any form if episodes have not aired in that particular year, hence policy. Guidelines are something that can be bent if necessary - this cannot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexTheWhovian (talk • contribs) 21:35, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Technically, it's still a guideline, even though there doesn't appear to be any reason to justify a WP:IAR exception. Personally, I'd just drop the "policy" and say "Per WP:TVUPCOMING", which is already common practice. nyuszika7h (talk) 14:53, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Fair enough. Thanks for the advice! Alex|The|Whovian 22:06, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
