Big Bang schedule discussion

Just as an FYI, I started the discussion on Talk:The Big Bang Theory about the inclusion of single episode scheduling on the ratings template. You were involved with the reverts. --Jordan 1972 (talk) 19:33, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Vikings season 4

The TVShowsonDVD link to the DVD cover does not state when its coming out since the remaining eps of this season have yet to air this year. It will definately follow The Walking Dead where they split up a season and then release the DVD after all the eps aired instead of releasing a DVD for each part.S hannon434 (talk) 03:09, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

@S hannon434: Nonetheless, when a season is marketed split such as this, the overview and episode table are always split. I'm not sure how the DVD release affects this? A few examples following this would be Teen Wolf (season 5), Doctor Who (series 7), List of Atlantis episodes, Heroes (season 3), Lost Girl (season 5), etc. Alex|The|Whovian^? 03:15, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Probably it will end up like Rookie Blue where the remaining eps of s5 have been rebranded as season 6. Lost Girl's final season on the other hand was screwed up by their North American distributor who billed both parts as seasons 5 and 6 instead of season 5.S hannon434 (talk) 19:39, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

@S hannon434: Doubtful, given that it's already been renewed for a fifth season. One can't exactly have two fifth seasons. Alex|The|Whovian^? 01:07, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Blindspot anagram

You yourself have repeatedly reverted the reddit source of the anagram for episode 20. The vulture reference itself references that reddit source and is no closer to the proper answer. How is this better? Also, the IP's edit has two title parameters for the episode. Ryan8374 (talk) 06:18, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

@Ryan8374: As I said in my edit summary: it's good enough now until another source is found. The two anagrams for the episode in question are the same, except for two switched words - any of the listed anagrams for all of the episodes could have this done to them. For example, episode 17's is "In Almost the Last Place You Look" - how do we know it's not something like "In the Last Place You Almost Look"? Theoretically, there's no need for the anagrams to be there anyways, since they're not episode titles. (The duplicate parameters are now fixed.) Alex|The|Whovian^? 06:23, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

List of The Americans episodes

Alex, someone's been screwing with the colors on the List of The Americans episodes article. I started to fix them, then realized I might make it worse, given the contrast requirements. Would you take a look and see what needs to be done, so that it's done properly? --Drmargi (talk) 03:15, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

@Drmargi: All done; adjusted the colour contrasts to be AAA compliant. If you're not aware of it, you can adjust colours to be AAA compliant with this script I created, if you wish.

@S hannon434:, please make sure that all colours you use on Wikipedia comply with WP:COLOR by being AAA Compliant (you can check here) - this was also an issue at The Vampire Diaries (season 7). Alex|The|Whovian^? 04:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Good man! Thank you. I keep wishing I had time to get a handle on how this all works. Someday... --Drmargi (talk) 05:17, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

@Drmargi: No problems! Always happy to help out. I'm currently dealing with my own issues on colour usage at the moment. Aaaand LLArrow has reverted my fixes. Not surprised. Alex|The|Whovian^? 05:24, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

I was picking a color from the wiki page not WP:Color or whatever you call it.S hannon434 (talk) 19:44, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

I just threw an edit warring warning on LLArrow's talk page. He's got a bit of a history in recent days, as you may have noticed. Let's see if we can get him on the talk page, at least. --Drmargi (talk) 20:56, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

List of OUAT characters

Hey there, I would like to ask, is there any way to block an IP user or maybe warn a user regarding vandalism or disruptive edits? this user 185.22.173.146 (talk) had done 3 edits to the List of Once Upon a Time characters page and it's all inappropriate and been reverted 3 times by a user. Thanks Naveenruben97 (talk) 07:35, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

@Naveenruben97: You can report them at WP:ANI (incidents) or WP:ANV (vandalism). Alex|The|Whovian^? 07:38, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

RE Flash Apology

I'd like to apologize for my edit on The Flash episode list. I couldn't figure out when the crossover occurred, so I had assumed it occurred sometime during his travels in Flash Back. This was seemingly confirmed by other sources like CinemaBlend and IGN that said the crossover would be explained in Flash Back. However, after your revision, I realized that small moment in the beginning of Versus Zoom where he went through a portal and came back was when the crossover had occurred. My apologies my friend.--Valkyrie Red (talk) 07:46, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

@Valkyrie Red: Yeah, no problems. Alex|The|Whovian^? 07:27, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Template:Australian politics/party colours/National Labor

Hey, sorry to have messed up the PMs table, but the way it is now is messing up tables at places like Division of Werriwa. Any idea why? Frickeg (talk) 08:22, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Wait, now I see, the others all use the meta templates. You'll need to make a meta template for Nat Labor too, then, because hundreds of pages are using this template and it breaks them all. Frickeg (talk) 08:23, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Wait again, there already is one! I'll switch it over. Frickeg (talk) 08:27, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

@Frickeg: No problems, glad it's been solved! Alex|The|Whovian^? 07:27, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Game of Thrones redirect speedies

Original research or even speculation - and I think the problem here is really more of a question of source reliability - aren't a valid reason for speedy deletion. It's true that there's administrators who are willing to delete just about anything that gets tagged, but that doesn't make it right. They aren't speedyable as obvious hoaxes, and it would require some serious doublethink to shoehorn them into the next closest speedy deletion criterion, R3; this isn't the sort of implausible misnomer that that refers to.

Meanwhile, it's entirely proper to unlink these from articles. Simply disappearing the redirects themselves is likely to do more harm than good, since they'll already have been picked up and cached by Google and other search engines. Giving them a week tagged for deletion on WP:RFD will ensure that secondary copies are seen as the probable hoaxes that they are. —Cryptic 09:09, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Capitalization of "season"

I saw your correction to my recent capitalization edit on the article Wayward Pines. Unless I'm mistaken, the following capitalization formatting should be used:

• "Season 1" is capitalized as it's the name of the period of the TV series;
  

whereas,

• "the first season" or "the next season" or "initial season", etc. etc. does not capitalize the word, because it is not the name, merely a time period like "year" or "month".

Judging by what I've seen on WP over the years, this seems to be the style. If you have further information indicating otherwise, please do share with me so I can retain and maintain consistency. --SidP (talk) 03:15, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

@SidP: Really? Individual season pages are always linked as lower case (e.g. Game of Thrones (season 6), Haven (season 1), The Big Bang Theory (season 7), etc.); I also follow a multitude of television series pages (the Television WikiProject is the main area I edit in), and "season" is always lowercase when determine what status a cast member is in each season. Just a dozen examples I can list are iZombie, Once Upon a Time, Quantico, Scorpion, 12 Monkeys, The Musketeers, Dark Matter, Mr. Robot, Teen Wolf (2011 TV series), Vikings, The 100, Haven.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Quantico (removal of information) reasoning???

Hi, I do not understand why you removed the information that I posted below about Russell Tovey joining Quantico in the series regular role of Harry Doyle for season 2. I have backed up the evidence to support my claim with an online source reference yet you have not provided me with a proper reasoning as to why you removed the following information. Please explain why you removed it from the Quantico wiki page. For now, I have undid your previous revision as I have already provided my explanation as to why that information should be up on the page. Thanks!

@Elainasla: I did not remove it. I moved it. Hence the edit summary of "Relocate". Sign your posts on my talk page, else risk being reverted. Alex|The|Whovian^? 05:33, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Thank you for your candid response. I will make sure to let you know before I post anything on this page. Have a great day! Elainasla (talk) 05:54, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

The full service sex worker issue

Is there a better link for this than WP:COMMONTERM? That's for titles, but I can't find anything else. It certainly makes sense to me that the best terms for the titles are also the best terms to use in the articles. Meters (talk) 07:41, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

This user is socking again... this time on The Martian (film). They're also using this IP again: 110.171.182.13 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Perhaps an indef-block on the account is needed now + long-term block on the IP? Vensco (T / C) 17:10, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Re: Agents of Shield (season 3) revert

Thanks. I was looking at a couple articles and got lost. I thought I was looking at the main article for the show and so deleted the episode summaries.

For what it's worth, I did explain my decision in the edit summary. Your note on my user page suggested that I hadn't left an edit summary; I had.

But that's a nitpick. Thanks for correcting my mistake.

@Begnome: No problems. I used an automatic notice template using Twinkle, so I didn't actually type out/add the bit about the edit summary. Probably should have read over that. Alex|The|Whovian^? 03:43, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Series 10

Cheers, I was just in the process of working that out :) However weirdly - and possibly why the prev_series was added by the other editor - there was a period of time where it wasn't displaying (first thing I did was check out the previous version). Then I saw the template page lists those attributes as "required" so I added them and it came back - but then I was wondering why so was playing around more. Not sure why it disappeared for a bit. Strange. Cheers, Dresken (talk) 11:13, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

@Dresken: No problems! The issue was because of an edit requested at Template talk:Infobox television season#Granulation of disambig by years (my bad). The issue is all fixed, though. Alex|The|Whovian^? 11:36, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Redirect

Just create it at Draft:Arrow (season 4). Alex|The|Whovian^? 01:42, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Oops

I was copying your username, and instead of clicking "Copy" I must have accidentally clicked "Cut". Softlavender (talk) 07:39, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

@Softlavender: I thought that that may have been the issue. No problems! Alex|The|Whovian^? 07:40, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

To be quite honest I somehow do this frequently. I don't know why -- maybe it's because "Cut" is at the top LOL. Softlavender (talk) 07:42, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Written by/Teleplay by

That is how it was listed in the end credits (re Annedroids 4x13), so I transcribed it as-is to be safe, I guess your edit is correct since "Written by" is for those who get both credits. Works for me, it's shorter this way, but might be worth asking at WT:TV. nyuszika7h (talk) 12:58, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I got a bit confused here. Actually, Amanda Spagnolo got both a "written by" and a "teleplay by" credit, so maybe not. nyuszika7h (talk) 13:03, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Actually, following the WGA's rules, the "Teleplay by" credit would be redundant, but I'm not sure if Canadian shows follow that, since they also use "," in that credit which is neither "&" nor "and". nyuszika7h (talk) 13:07, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

I opened a discussion at WT:TV#"Written by" and "Teleplay by" in the same episode. – nyuszika7h (talk) 13:14, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Arrow

Did you know about Arrow (season 5)? --AussieLegend (✉) 17:41, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

@AussieLegend: I did not. That's far too early, especially for a season article where articles don't even exist for the seasons before it. Seems they did it at Supernatural (season 12) (history link) too. I only reverted their edit to the Arrow series overview table. Also, just out of curiosity, what more needs to be added to Draft:Arrow (season 1) and Draft:Arrow (season 2) to make them legit articles? I've seen season articles with less than what those two drafts contain. Alex|The|Whovian^? 17:48, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

At first look, both articles require granularity edits to the infobox and some pruning of episode summaries. Draft:Arrow (season 1) also has a couple of citation errors. Other than that, both are more comprehensive than most season articles. --AussieLegend (✉) 18:02, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
