Naruto Shippuden episode lists

please edit the other season of shippuden in english, save me time — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sin3dd (talkcontribs) 20:09, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed all the DVD dates as they are not counted as air date. Given that an IP is persisten in readding them, I'll put the lists on my watchlist. —Farix (t | c) 23:13, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters

Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters airs every Saturday night at 11:30 PM on Adult Swim's Toonami block. The next episode will air on August 5, 2017. You are incorrectly reverting a correct edit. View the schedule for that day here: http://adultswim.x10.mx107.77.223.198 (talk) 22:41, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that you must site a reliable source in accordance with WP:V. The link you provided is not reliable as it is a self published fansite. At best, they are guessing at the dates. Failure to cite a reliable source for future air dates will only result in dates being removed —Farix (t | c) 22:44, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You're incorrect still. Toonami is broadcast on national TV, and none of the other episodes are sourced either. The next episode will air on August 5, 2017. I can confirm that because I watch every Saturday. And next weeks schedule has not changed.107.77.223.198 (talk) 22:48, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is based on WP:Verifiability via reliable published sources. You yourself are not a "reliable source". Future air dates are subject to change, thus a citation to reliable source is required anytime such dates are published on Wikipedia. If no source is cited, then the date can and will be removed. —Farix (t | c) 22:51, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As I pointed out, none of the other episodes are sourced either. I'm pretty sure this applies in this case: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:You_don%27t_need_to_cite_that_the_sky_is_blue, just because it airs on national TV, and unless they announce something, the schedule remains the same as it always has.107.77.223.198 (talk) 22:56, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a matter of the sky being blue. These dates do change and they are often targets of vandalism, thus citing a reliable source is required. WP:OTHERSTUFF does not excuses continuing the problem. —Farix (t | c) 22:58, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
They do change, but only if they announce something. If they haven't announced anything, then we can safely assume when the next airing will be. I get what you're trying to do in regards to vandalism, but what that page meant was that you don't need to cite information that's obvious and readily available to the public. Toonami's schedule is readily available online. I hope you're also an avid watcher of Toonami as I am, and if not, I'd recommend checking out their lineup

Again, we do not make presumptions. If the air date has been publish, it does not belong on Wikipedia. WP:Verifiability is a content policy and is non-negotiable. —Farix (t | c) 23:06, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So would it be better to add the air date after the episode has already aired? Btw, I had no idea that other link was a fan site, because I've never seen it before, but have heard multiple times it has accurately predicted new additions. But back to the matter at hand: Even though the next episode of Kai is 99% guaranteed to air on August 5, is it better to add the airdate of August 5, 2017 after the episode has aired? I honestly had no idea this was an issue until now, because it's quite common to list air dates of the episodes three to four weeks in advance on other articles that I've seen. Also, since One Piece was taken off the air back in March, I've noticed someone went and changed the English air dates to the DVD release dates. I looked on your history and saw that this should not be the case, and they should not have any English air dates after March 18, 2017. Just wanted to give you a heads up on that one.107.77.223.198 (talk) 23:19, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Again, we do not make presumptions something will happen until after it happens or a reliable source states that it will happen. But generally, it is best to not include the dates until after it happens. As for DVD releases as air date. No, they are not technically air dates and should not be listed as such. DVD releases should have their own section like List of Bleach episodes#DVD_releases. —Farix (t | c) 23:27, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, thank you for clarifying. I usually don't edit anime articles unless I notice something off obviously. Since I watch Toonami every Saturday and it's listed on the official schedule, I figured that I might as well change it to the correct airdate. Meant no harm in it. Just trying to make sure it has the correct info. If you'd like to talk to me about anything else, my username is Dohvahkiin.
