Improvements

Even though the article is extensive. I think that the article needs some improvements overall. Any tweak or large edit is welcomed. Any suggestions please discuss it here.--94.234.170.210 (talk) 00:15, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Recent additions

I have removed several recent additions because I don't think that the unsourced trivia belongs in an encyclopedic article. We can discuss it further here if needed. Ewen Douglas (talk) 19:34, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

A couple of points up front: 1) This is the place for discussion, not the edit summaries. 2) The recent additions are all completely unsourced. By Wikipedia policy, "Unsourced material may be challenged and removed." That is what I have done, and not just because the material is unsourced, but for a second reason as well - it's a long list that doesn't belong in this encyclopedia, per WP:NOTDIRECTORY.

Please stop removing these factual references in your edit war. The section is called "Continuity" and deals explicitly with continuity issues from the series. As far as I can tell, there are no references for the section, because they are simply, established facts. You don't seem to be challenging anything else in the section. The actors are named in the paragraph you are objecting to, verifying that the section is accurate. Please stop your edit war. You have now reversed the edits 3 times and thus are in violation of the 3RR rule, which could lead to you being blocked from editing if yu continue.211.24.109.210 (talk) 04:53, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

"Unsourced material may be challenged and removed." It is unsourced. I am removing it. If you can find a source for this info, that would be great. I googled for it, and could not find a reliable source. If one exists, I would be happy to re-add the info myself. Until then, you should not revert further. Also, I don't think your threats of blocking me are likely to have any effect. Perhaps try collaborating instead of threatening? Ewen Douglas (talk) 14:44, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

You are now in violation of wikipedia's 3RR rule. Check the rule book. Breaking this rule leads to being blocked. I don't make the rules. I am not making threats. You seem very, very, very keen to uphold wikipedia rules, thus it's astonishing you pick and choose which ones you wish to follow and which ones you wish to break. Please stop your edit war. Click the links that have been put in the article. Or... remove EVERY SINGLE unsourced note from the article to demonstrate you are not simply engaged in a petty edit war. There'd be nothing left in the article. Nothing.211.24.109.210 (talk) 15:10, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Here's one source that took 3 seconds to Google. Goodness me, how hard did you try? http://prisonercellblockh.wikia.com/wiki/Marty_Jackson oh, and here's another... http://prisonercellblockh.wikia.com/wiki/Tracey_Morris How strange. I'll add them to the article now to save you the trouble. I'm sure you're very busy elsewhere upholding the rules of wikipedia. Those you choose to uphold that is. Not the ones you choose to ignore. 211.24.109.210 (talk) 15:12, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Wikia.com is not considered a WP:RS. Please read the reliable sources policy. Ewen Douglas (talk) 15:34, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Other than the wikia sources, you've also just added a few sources (multiple times) that are just cast lists of the show. The paragraph in this article, as written, appears to constitute original research based on these cast lists, as there's nothing in those sources that states the various opinions that you've stated in that paragraph. Please read WP:OR - without a reliable source to back up the things stated in that paragraph, I'm afraid that paragraph will have to be removed. Ewen Douglas (talk) 18:05, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Well congratulations Ewen Douglas!!! What a mess you have now created with this feature thanks to your unnecessary interference and dictating what should and shouldn't be included. I'm in full agreement with all comments from 211.24.109.210. I think I'll take a look at some other articles taht you may have "interfered" with and make sure the vandalism isn't as bad as you've created on here!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.101.170.152 (talk) 04:57, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 16 November 2018

Please remove the dozens of "citation needed" tags that were added by a disruptive IP editor. The article already has a template for improving references at the top, and the IP managed to spam the article indiscriminately throughout with right before the page was protected. Ewen Douglas (talk) 18:22, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

 Done That was an impressive amount of {{cn}} tags, Jesus Christ. ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 19:54, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Jesus Christ, perhaps you should see the history of why the tags were added? That might have helped. I would recommend researching the behaviour of Ewen Douglas in regard to this article. Perhaps then you might not have been so hasty. Jesus Christ indeed.173.13.132.244 (talk) 04:59, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

"Bea, Lizzie and Doreen" section

Apart from being completely unsourced, the entire section seems to contain an excessive amount of trivial details that would be appropriate in a fanwiki site, but not in an encyclopedia meant to give an overview of the topic. The 4th paragraph seems like it might be salvageable - IF any reliable sources can be found to back up this info. As it stands, it seems very much like the entire section is original research, so I intend to remove it. Please discuss here if you have a problem with this approach, before reverting any changes, thanks. Ewen Douglas (talk) 00:41, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
