Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!

Hi AlexTheWhovian, regarding your edits to Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, I'm not sure I completely agree with your decision to delete every international date simply because it is an American series. Specifically, at WikiProject Cartoon Network, it states Airdates in non-English countries should not be included in the infobox unless it is first aired in a non-English country, but if determined to be necessary to include, can be discussed further in the article's body. In this case, all the airdates which you removed from the second season table have not yet aired in the US, but have aired in several other countries. As referenced in the lead paragraph, the second season of the series will not be aired on television in United States, but rather they will all be put exclusively on the Boomerang streaming service. Seeing as none of the season 2 episodes have premiered on the streaming service and likely won't anytime soon (you'll notice the date of the reference is March 7), but have aired in several countries internationally, in my opinion that would justify inclusion of the referenced non-US dates in this case. That being said, I am interested to hear your perspective and thoughts on this issue. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 15:56, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The WP:CONSENSUS of WP:TV is to only include airdates for the country of origin. Broadcast details for countries foreign to the country of origin should be noted elsewhere in the article, primarily under a "Broadcast" section. Australian shows give Australian dates, UK shows give UK dates, U.S. shows give U.S. dates. (Pinging WeepingAngel63 - see? Not U.S. centric.) The episode can be included with reliable sources, but TBA is what should be displayed until a U.S. release/broadcast date are announced. And if another date were to be added, only the first date that episode was broadcast on should have been listed - not dates for four separate countries. -- AlexTW 10:01, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for explaining further. Just to make sure I'm understanding you correctly, this would mean that the international dates at List of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episodes should be deleted as well as it is a US show? Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 17:05, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@KatnissEverdeen: Apologies for the later reply. Also, home media is not supported in the series overview tables per WP:TVOVERVIEW; the table should be converted to the template {{Series overview}}, and the home media table separated and moved to a new section between Episodes and References. -- AlexTW 00:19, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No worries and I appreciate your reply and explanation. I actually didn't notice the home media section as I'm not as familiar with that article as I am the Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! one, but I agree that the tables should definitely be separated. In addition, seeing as the DVD releases are also listed on the main series page, it seems unnecessary to list a duplicate chart citing the same info on both pages. I've gone ahead and deleted the home media section in the series overview table. Also, upon another glance at the international dates I mentioned, I now see that many of them are for premieres which happened months and even years after the US premiere (in addition to the fact that there doesn't seem to be any distinguishable pattern between which countries the dates are being chosen from), so that's especially problematic. I'll take a closer look at it when I get a chance, though unfortunately I do have a very busy real-life at the moment so it may be several days before I'm able to make the revisions needed. You're welcome to make the changes as well if you wish, otherwise I'll probably get to it at some point late next week on a guess. All the best, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 01:21, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Be Cool Scooby-Doo

It is interesting that you can quote what you want in order to delete, but you don't care enough about the content of the page to insert the relevant information where the consensus says it should go. Edit properly, not just destructively / dismissively. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WeepingAngel63 (talk • contribs) 10:11, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A new section on the same topic as the one above, when you could have just edited and contributed to it... Per the consensus of the Television WikiProject, all that would need to be re-added are the premiere dates. We don't list separate episode dates for each episodes for countries that are foreign to the origin country - name me an Australian series' article with UK or U.S. dates for every episode. Do learn how to sign your posts as well, will you? -- AlexTW 10:15, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Titans edit

Per this, I just wanted you to know I've come across this by another user stating the same thing for another article (both slip my mind at the moment, but it was something AoS related I think). But I've never heard of this, that users expect the information to be easily verifiable in a source title. Since when is that a thing? That is virtually never the case. Very perplexing... - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:23, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard of it either. Before I reverted the edit, I checked the documentation for {{cite web}} to see if there anything to support this new development for the usage of |quote=, but there's not. Perplexing indeed. -- AlexTW 00:19, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You will need to add the source into the article, and remove the unsourced original research about a second season. Please read up on Wikipedia's guidelines and policies so that you know how this website is run. Thank you. -- AlexTW 09:39, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources

how is spoilertv unreliable, and how is futon critic so much better? those idiots have failed to update anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexjones50 (talk • contribs) 03:41, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the team running SpoilerTV - not one of them has any television credentials of any sort, hence making the website unreliable. It's effectively a fan site. On the other hand, The Futon Critic lists the press releases given directly by networks, hence making them reliable. -- AlexTW 03:44, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you'd just checked the link I posted you'd find that that information was from a press release, spoilertv weren't making it up, they were posting a press release from the CW, furthermore, futon critic posted about a day later and it was exactly the same as the information I put up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexjones50 (talk • contribs) 15:57, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Move from draft to main space over a redirect.

Hey Alex, yesterday i moved the Fargo character article Hanzee Dent to Draft:Hanzee Dent, as it consisted almost entirely of a plot summary and relied on a single source. Since then, balanced coverage that includes real-world context and additional sources have been introduced to the article, so i don't see any reason why it should not be published. I don't know why, but i can't move the draft back to the mainspace article, which is now a redirect to Fargo (season 2)#Cast (perhaps because i am not a page mover). It seems to me like this is the same as moving Draft:Game of Thrones (season 8) to Game of Thrones (season 8), a page that already existed and redirected to List of Game of Thrones episodes. I am sorry to bother you with that, but i don't really understand what should be done in this case. I've submitted an AfC request, but according to WP:NOTRM this process is for "new/unconfirmed users only". I would appreciate it if you could do something about this or let me know what exactly should be done, as i see no mention to this issue in any WP page. Thank you. -- (Radiphus) 10:10, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Done No problems, all fixed. If the target location has more than one edit in its history, then the two pages need to be swapped manually; see WP:PM/C#4 and the links there for more info. -- AlexTW 10:32, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. -- (Radiphus) 10:33, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No problems. Happy to be asked to do any manual moves. -- AlexTW 10:36, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Blue's Clues episodes

Funny how you scold me when I was simply putting back information that a user without a profile with a history of vandalism is putting on there, deleting info, such as director and writer of the 10th Anniversary special without any source, and I was changing the episode count from 144 to 143, a number which the episode list ITSELF has, 143. And as there isn't a seventh season, there could not be season seven production codes. I'm just curious why you were so quick to jump down my throat, when I've been a registered user for 11 years, and take the side of a user who doesn't even have a profile page, and has a history of vandalism. And by the way, I added a discussion on the talk page about the 10th Anniversay special regarding the writer/director Dpm12 (talk) 01:55, 19 November 2017 (UTC) Dpm12 (talk) 01:55, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Funny how you accuse a regular editor as a vandal, I'm sure that'll get you brownie points. Got a reason for that? Same as having to say how long you've been here - if we're doing that, I've got five times more edits than you do! I must be great! I even just had to fix your edits. Those production codes look unsourced, they need to be removed. Not taking any sides, and really, you don't need to repeat yourself more than once. -- AlexTW 02:08, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless, I have no care for the article either way, I only came across it when I updated it to MOS:TV standards. -- AlexTW 02:10, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy

Alex, you weren't notified by the editor but you were mentioned at ANI. I believe the incident has been resolved by the editor being blocked; just a courtesy call to let you know it was at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#AlexTheWhovian. Neil S. Walker (talk) 16:35, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Neil S Walker: Huh, the things that happen when I'm sleeping... Thanks for the heads up, glad to see it was resolved. -- AlexTW 00:22, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained removal of hatnote details on article

Hi,

Can you please explain the removal of hatnote details in this edit to Wentworth (TV series)?

No explanation or justification was given for this removal in the edit summary, and no attempt has apparently been made to replicate the functionality.

Please note that unexplained removal of content like this without explanation may be considered vandalism.

Ubcule (talk) 15:17, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ubcule: Because it is unnecessary mass disambiguation on an article that is already disambiguated in its title as "(TV series)", and hence, the hatnote should only be used to disambiguate between different TV series. If there needs to be a disambiguation page listing all Wentworth articles, then create one, but don't use this page for that purpose.
I recommend continuing with accusing regular editors as vandals, see which administrator's board you find yourself on. It's also amusing how you linked the only removal without a summary, from May, instead of the one with a summary earlier this month. -- AlexTW 20:42, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Error in table

Hi Alex, on the table in the filmography section of the Chloe Ferry article, the year 2017 is on left side and isn't in the centre. Can you fix it please? Cheers, Theo (edits) 22:48, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've only ever seen the year on the left in filmography tables. However, you can add style="text-align:center" to center the text. -- AlexTW 22:57, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
