Total Divas colors.

Hey there, I don't get why the other season colors are fine yet season 6 has to be this dark color that doesn't relate to the color scheme of the season 6 promos? I get that theres a rule, that's why I'm messaging you instead of reverting, but why can't the color I inserted or even a similar color that relates to the color scheme be used instead of using a random color? MSMRHurricane (talk) 17:34, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

It does not matter what the color is as long as it works for the color blind. The color you used did not correspond to color blind. If you have one that is different, but good for color blind, I am good with that color. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 19:31, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
I have updated the color scheme, let me know if it corresponds with the color blind rule. Thank you. MSMRHurricane (talk) 21:23, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
It's good. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 06:28, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

One Tree Hill Character table.

Hey there, I was wondering if you could take a look at the One Tree Hill character table for me and let me know if it's current state is acceptable and follows wiki rules? I'm rather new on the rules yet I comply by them, therefore I think this table is out of date and crosses some lines regarding the rules, ie. episode counts are displayed. I changed the table to a template version, seeing as that seems to be the version current tables are switching to, but this editor who I have had trouble with before with the OTH table, keeps reverting back to his version seeing as he originally created it and seems to be an avid fan of the show. So I was just wondering if you could give me some insight whether to bother with updating the table or leaving it as it is. Or even giving me some wiki rules links so I can provide them to the user and let them know they aren't following wiki rules. Thank you! :)

I need some time to look it over and I will get back to you. ` Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 17:07, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Let me know if the table should be updated to this and if the other editor has ground to stand on if he reverts it, in comparison to his current table. Thanks again! MSMRHurricane (talk) 17:28, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

I did it myself. I also deleted the recurring character table. If the page really needs one, do it like the above list. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 04:27, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
I will just replace the current table (the user has reverted your last edits, btw) with the one I have provided here, seeing as majority of articles have this type of table and the look is cleaner and simple. Would you agree? If not, let me know, I do not want to step on any toes or cross any boundaries, yet I think the user who keeps reverting our edits is breaking some rules. MSMRHurricane (talk) 07:33, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
You are breaking rules. You've been given an edit warning regarding the One Tree Hill characters, I will take this further if you continue to engage in an edit war. B.Davis2003 (talk) 08:18, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
@B.Davis2003: You broke them once you revert three times. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 19:01, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Total Divas.

Hey there, a fellow editor is trying to add a part A and B to season 3 on the character table, seeing as that season was 20 episodes and expanded over 2014 and 2015. Yet I feel it's redundant and the table is fine the way it is because that's how majority of TV shows go, right? What do you think? MSMRHurricane (talk) 02:44, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Just because it was over the course of 2 years which can technically be a season, it should remain as it was. So in essence, you are correct. NCIS is like that. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 02:53, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
Yeah I agree, I have stated that that is how shows are normally, like, they start the season at the end of the year and finish it at the start of the following year, therefore season 3 shouldn't be treated differently. If you see them reverting back the changes, your help will be greatly appreciated as I'm sure another editor had already tried doing this months ago, and it was sorted out, so no need to try again. MSMRHurricane (talk) 04:17, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Robert Vaughn

I'm sure you can go back in the article's history and copy-paste your book citations back into Robert Vaughn, and I would ask you to please respect MOS and standard grammar everywhere and do not italicize the names of TV networks. "Turner Classic Movies" is not italicized, any more than Showtime, HBO or Lifetime. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:02, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

I am not sure what to say. This is basic grammar. Go to virtually any newspaper, magazine or website in the world and you will see that no one italicizes TV network names. For example: http://www.ajc.com/entertainment/television/who-visits-turner-midtown-studios-talk-classic-movies/gnSKDR0b4ERNozKPOwZLWL/. and http://ew.com/article/2016/12/07/tcm-big-screen-classics-godfather-princess-pride-et/ --Tenebrae (talk) 19:49, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
@Tenebrae: If there is nothing on Wikipedia:Manual of Style or Wikipedia:Citing sources, then it is not a voilation of MOS. Websites outside of wikipedia are not examples. For those examples, they should be explained on MOS. I'm not saying you are wrong, but I think it should be cited in MOS so no one else will violate MOS. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 20:02, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
With all due respect, Wikipedia does not have to say "spell words correctly" and "use proper grammar and punctuation." TV networks, names of organizations like the United Nations, companies like AT&T and dotcoms like Amazon.com are not italicized. That is basic grammar. If you don't believe me, I'm sure we could ask an admin to tell you the same thing. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:11, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
@Tenebrae:I'm just trying to make sure other editors do not violate MOS. It's not about wether I believe you, it is about policy. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 20:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
I appreciate the collegial discussion. And it turns out, now that I look at it closely, the MOS already says: "Use italics for the titles of works of literature and art, such as books, pamphlets, films (including short films), television series, named exhibitions, computer and video games (but not other software), music albums, and paintings." You'll note it does not include "TV networks, organizations, institutions, companies, dotcoms, names of buildings, names of animals" or any of a hundred other things that are not italicized. So I would go by what it says — just italicize what it says to italicize. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:20, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi, just a note that the Reception section you added to this article was far too large of a quote to be used here. It essentially provided content when quotes here should normally provide context to prose that is already written. It is fine to use brief snippets of reviews to make the point, but 5-6 paragraphs is far too much for our copyright policy to allow. Thanks, CrowCaw 21:42, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

I will not do that again. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 23:42, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Let's reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement!

Hi Kiraroshi1976, please allow me to get in touch with you because you have stated sympathy with environmental causes on your user page. I would like to invite you to check out the Environmental impact project page on Meta, where I am trying to create some momentum to reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. My first goal is to have all the Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy. Maybe you could show your support for this project as well by adding your signature? Thank you, --Gnom (talk) 19:50, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

The Mindy Project.

Hi there! Thanks for helping me out on the One Tree Hill page a while back. Would you be able to help me out again on The Mindy Project page? Another editor is reverting my character table I had made for the article for the reasons of "false" information being displayed. By that, he means 1) an actor appeared as a guest before being promoted to a series regular in the same season and 2) an actor was only in two episodes - apart of the main cast, nonetheless - before departing the show in one season. He states notes should be displayed for these, however, I find it redundant seeing as countless numbers of characters have done this on countless shows, so why should we add in redundant notes? I have set up a section for discussion on the talk page however, he just keeps reverting instead of discussing like he should. So would you be able to take a look and throw in your two cents when you can? I ask 'cause I trust you and we both agree on a lot of things. Let me know :) Thanks!

Hey. It looks like Zhyboo did what needed to be done. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 19:11, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

List of executive actions by Donald Trump

I just added a Presidential Proclamation (#1) to the above article. Could you please check out the problem with the reference. There is a "help" notification in the References list (#49) and I can't figure out how to fix it. Thanks. Buster Seven Talk 02:20, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

@Buster7: I fixed the issue and added references. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 03:24, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of executive actions by George W. Bush, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Nuclear Energy and Amtrack. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
