This Is Us season 2 poster

Hi Alex, any idea what colour to use for this [1], apart from white? I'm currently using  #D4D4D4 . - Brojam (talk) 21:49, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

@Brojam: Bit of a tricky one... TinEye gives me either  #644433  or  #DCB49C . -- Alex^TW 23:32, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! - Brojam (talk) 23:42, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @AlexTheWhovian: I've never seen/heard of that TinEye site, but it may be helpful to paste its url in the same spot we link to the Snook site at the MOS/elsewhere for users who want help finding prominent colors in posters. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:42, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Agreed! I've got it bookmarked, it's my go-to site to extract colours from DVD cover arts. Snook is linked at WP:COLOR rather than MOS:TV - should TinEye be linked at the former or latter page, or should both be added to the MoS? -- Alex^TW 05:37, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

TinEye seems most applicable for our uses, over the general WP:COLOR. So maybe an inclusion of both at WP:TVFAQ and MOS:TV#Formatting? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:22, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

On a related note, any thoughts on how to properly format the listing of the 6 child actors who portray the younger versions of Kevin, Kate, and Randall on the show whom 5 of which (except young Randall) got promoted to series regular for season 2 on the three different articles; This Is Us (TV series), This Is Us (season 1), and This Is Us (season 2)? - Brojam (talk) 03:25, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Victoria main cast

Alex, are these two main cast in Victoria? I can't recall who they are:

• Tilly Steele as Cleary
• Leo Sutter as Drummond

Calvin Harris discography#Music videos

Hi User:AlexTheWhovian, with table formatting, how should I add the second music video for "Feels" ([2]) on Calvin Harris discography please? And I don't know if it has the same director as the first, thanks.--Theo Mandela (talk) 05:32, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Follow-up/revival of the [now-]archived thread/"section" due to unresponsiveness

Hello, pursuant to this thread/"section," here's a reposting of the same reply in this newly-created "section" here as stipulated by you. Kindly accept my apologies for not paying attention to that template [earlier]:

After long, Hello Again Sire! Now, rather "going on-and-on" about how much difficulties I had to catch this up with you and how much times I was "this close" to finding this thread and reviving the conversation, [including] at once even close to when I went outstation again (like in the case of and pursuant to this), I should get to the point ASAP. So, do you need those 14-15 citations which I scavenged, started drafting with referenced points favouring my 'contention' [among others], kept it updating for a week and then, *bam*! Lost suddenly due to the archival-step (for which, need I reiterate, I can't blame you except "circumstances" thing). So, is it okay if you need to contemplate upon my defence or 'better,' I've came across several articles among which I'm willing to fetch some as examples which still don't conform to that ambiguous (I don't wish to sound subjective at this stage) Wikipedia MoS and still are "unsanitised" rather those "talks" spanning upto a decade [at least]. And yes, I'm holding-back observations relating to my other edits for now.

Hello I made an edit to an upcoming character Dr. Facilier here is the source http://efnewsservice.tumblr.com/post/165252440187/captain-swan-oncer-from-the-returning Oncerfan123 (talk) 20:59, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

American Horror Story RT scores S7 template error

Seems to be an error at Template:American Horror Story RT scores S7. I'm guessing it's due to both numbers being so close to one another. - Brojam (talk) 03:01, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

@Brojam: Yep, never understood why that bug happens, but it fixes itself when you put a decimal in. Changed it to 85.3 for now; you can restore it to 85 when the rating for the next episode is available, it should fix itself then. Here's another such occurrence of this bug, and it's not even related to any values. -- Alex^TW 15:08, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! - Brojam (talk) 03:18, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Twice Upon a Time (Doctor Who)

Hi there. You reverted a creation of this article with the edit summary "Article should not exist until it has aired". I'm a bit puzzled by this since I cannot find any rule that says so or any discussion that resulted in such a consensus. Can you tell me where it says so? The current draft seems to prove the notability of the episode sufficiently, regardless of whether it actually airs. Regards SoWhy 13:03, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

@SoWhy: Consensus of the Television WikiProject is to not create episode articles until they've aired, for all series, else we end up getting hundreds of articles for upcoming episodes that have little to no information. Check the archives of the page for such discussions. Any important information related to the episode can be included in the tenth series' article, as per the talk page. -- Alex^TW 15:08, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello AtW. I hope you are enjoying your time away from the 'pedia. @SoWhy: another problem with creating the article before the episode airs is that they become a magnet for every rumor that pops up on the net. This has both WP:SPECULATION and WP:TOOSOON problems. Three months until we get to see this episode. The timey wimey can't pass quickly enough :-) MarnetteD|Talk 15:21, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining. I just didn't find anything about it in the policies and guidelines, so I wondered. Maybe it should be written down somewhere (WP:FUTUREEPISODE or suchlike)? Regards SoWhy 16:35, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Color contrast

Alex, I think you said you have an alert to this, but just in case, would you look at List of Good Eats episodes to see how many of the newly added color in the table headings are compliant? A lot of the text needs to be changed to white based on my eyeballing of the tables (frankly, I'm tempted just to remove the color altogether, since it serves no purpose), but don't want to start making changes until compliance is checked. Thanks! ----Dr.Margi ✉ 18:26, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

OK, I get the message. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 13:59, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Been visiting family the past three days, haven't been around to check talk page messages or even edit an article (check my contrib history). I ran my colour contrast scripts on the article; should be all fine now. -- Alex^TW 15:08, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. After you didn't respond to the message above, things seemed a bit different. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 18:15, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

There's a notice at the top of my talk page. -- Alex^TW 06:15, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Guy's Grocery Games

I updated the Guy's Grocery Games episodes. The black heading needs the text white. I am not sure how to do that. Any assistance would be appreciated. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 00:05, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Seems Brojam has done it. Thanks. -- Alex^TW 01:33, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

No problem. @Fishhead2100: You should probably consider splitting off the episodes to List of Guy's Grocery Games episodes. - Brojam (talk) 01:41, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Brojam I thought about that. I will get to it. Thanks for the help fixing it. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 01:44, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Brojam The episodes have their own article. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 02:04, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Series overview tables

I thought you might be mildly amused by some strange changes to some series overview tables. Have we ever discussed timeslots?[3][4][5][6] It seems to me that timeslots are best left in the ratings tables. --AussieLegend (✉) 07:08, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Timeslots are definitely better left for ratings tables in my opinion. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:28, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Converting from template to raw code? Terrible. And I agree with the two of you. {{Television season ratings}} has a column specifically for timeslots. -- Alex^TW 06:42, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Curb Your Enthusiasm S9 poster

Hi AlexTheWhovian, do you know what the hex colour of the leaf crown is here [7]? Or the most prominent colour please? Since there's a promotional poster, I want to use that colour instead of the random  #006550  colour currently being used.--Theo Mandela (talk) 17:59, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

@Theo Mandela:  #4C4C2B  -- Alex^TW 06:41, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

AlexTheWhovian, can I ask, how did you get this colour please? So I can do it myself in future, cheers.--Theo Mandela (talk) 18:24, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Can you both knock it off with baiting each other?, I don't care who's right or who's wrong, Point is all of this energy spent arguing with each other could be better spent improving articles or contributing in some way, So kindly knock it off & simply stay away from one another, Thanks. –Davey2010^Talk 23:45, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Alex, There really is no point, You know and I know continually arguing isn't going to get you both anywhere, As a friendly suggestion I would suggest you drop the stick and move on, Nothing good will come out of it now in all honestly you and him will probably end up blocked if continues so I really would suggest just moving on, Happy editing anyway :), –Davey2010^Talk 00:39, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

This Is Us cast/series regulars

Hi Alex, I don't think you saw this [8] before archiving so I'll post it again.

Any thoughts on how to properly format the listing of the 6 child actors who portray the younger versions of Kevin, Kate, and Randall on the show whom 5 of which (except young Randall) got promoted to series regular for season 2 on the three different articles; This Is Us (TV series), This Is Us (season 1), and This Is Us (season 2)? I think the season 1 article is fine with the actors being mentioned with the adult actors (since they were not series regulars), but not sure if the season 2 article is good and if so then should the main article be changed similar to the season 2 article? . - Brojam (talk) 18:25, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

@Brojam: Sorry for taking so long to get back to you; I have a memory like a sieve. To be honest, I've no idea, as I haven't seen the series at all (not even the trailers). I'm assuming that they're credited in a different order to their age? (i.e. they're not credited as old Jack, young Jack, old Rebecca, young Rebecca, etc.) If they were, it'd be easy to do them like the Season 1 article, but if not... Maybe post at the television project page? -- Alex^TW 07:09, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Not edit warring - at least no by me

We already had the discussion at talk. No policy was found prohibiting it. Concerns about OR and Copyvio were circumvented. And the episode summary was kept after the discussion - which you were invited to, and chose not to participate. So why are you now starting again on a different episode, without discussing it at talk? Nfitz (talk) 23:34, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Are you the singular editor continuously adding content after being reverted by no less than three editors, even after the discussion? Case in point. -- Alex^TW 23:39, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

No, others edited the content; but left it in place. Also after the discussion, I believe that only 2 editors have reverted - both of which were asked to, but didn't participate in the discussion. Besides, after the discussion - which was about the Vulcan Hello, the summary was left in place without editing, as far as I know, until the broadcast. Nfitz (talk) 01:19, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

The Trial of a Time Lord

Should the colour be  #0E1622  (the one it currently is) or purple/dark pink?--Theo Mandela (talk) 04:06, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

The colour of the DVD cover art is primarily dark blue, so it's fine as it is. -- Alex^TW 04:14, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Scorpion

Thank you for moving the article I created to a draft space versus nominating it for deletion it as I think the majority people would do. Is there anything you recommend I do to it (and the other season drafts I'm about to create) before eventually moving it back into the mainspace at a future date??? TheDoctorWho (talk) 01:27, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

@TheDoctorWho: Of course! It's a completely valid idea to split the articles into separate season articles. (This realistically needs to be done for dozens of TV shows.) The article needs a lot more work - first and foremost, it needs a lead. It also especially needs content referring to the production of the season, casting, reception from critics, etc. Real-world information about the season in specific. Take a look at some of the existing season articles for other series, and you might get a feel for what's needed. -- Alex^TW 04:34, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Arrow (season 6)

I'm TreyEdd1456 (Page/Article Creator of Draft:Arrow (season 6) article )

Would it possible for this article 'Draft:Arrow (season 6)' to no longer be a draft as i have mended and fixed the page to allow the page to be used by others. I can't redirect the page to 'Arrow (season 6)' as you have changed it to a draft article, would it possible for you to change it to a article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TreyEdd1456 (talk • contribs) 11:49, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

No, as it has nowhere near enough content to be anywhere near complete as a standalone article yet. -- Alex^TW 12:33, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Missing summary

Hey! Would you mind adding the summary of three episodes of season 2 of Quantico? Actually, I have not seen its sophomore season and I don't intend to either. Since you have seen, I thought to ask you for the same. I will appreciate your gesture.Krish | Talk 18:54, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

@Krish!: There used to be summaries for those episodes, but I removed them in April for being too long (one was over 430+ words); they had stood for two months without being cut down. You're welcome to re-add them if you like, they just need some severe trimming. -- Alex^TW 21:26, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Really?

Maybe you should do your research before reverting. I was undoing someone else's bold edit. Realize when you aren't helping a situation by edit-warring and get thee to the discussion page and actually, you know, contribute. Thanks in advance.
And if you want me to start following your edits as closely as you follow mine, say. the. word. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 19:18, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Before I reverted, I actually went through the edits and made sure that I knew what I was doing. And I did. Yours was indeed the bold edit, changing the content previously added by another editor. The edit that added that content constituted a great deal to the article, instead of just that single change in content, which means, their edit was not bold. Yours was. And it makes me wonder who's really following who... Off you go, Shakespeare. -- Alex^TW 01:17, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Unsourced claims I see you removed the "citation needed" tag on the Thirteenth Doctor page. Maybe I am ignorant then, but how exactly can you WP:RS claim that "most fans"(out of a fandom numbering in the millions) think or believe anything at all. 197.88.60.232 (talk) 05:58, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Eleventh Doctor/Madge Arwell

I'm presently rewatching this episode and in the opening titles Claire Skinner was credited alongside Matt Smith in the position typically reserved for the companions of the Doctor. I linked a source that indicates she was considered a companion for that special. I'd also like to point to Tenth Doctor, who has many one-time only companions listed in, such as Sarah Jane Smith and Wilfred Mott. Rusted AutoParts 03:47, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

---

If you had bothered to read the article for the ITV series "Victoria" before you vandalised the page by reverting the addition of the TV ratings, you will note that the source is provided at the top of the column. The link to the BARB ratings is provided and thus individual episodes do not require a separate source. You'll find this is the same process for all UK TV programmes featured on wikipedia. Please do not vandalize wikipedia pages again in the future or you will be blocked from editing.123.121.201.109 (talk) 05:25, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

See the notes. Victoria is not included in the Weekly top 10 programmes on BARB for this week. I've already checked the source given, I'm not that daft. Care to provide me with proof that they are included? Accusations of vandalism to an experienced editor can be taken seriously and reported; I would recommend you not do so again. -- Alex^TW 05:44, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Clearly you are that daft. The ratings are included for all of the weeks. So whereas you may claim not to be daft, you are clearly unable to read basic English. Stop your edit war or you will be reported for abuse and vandalism and you may be blocked from editing whether you consider yourself experienced or not. Being wrong clearly is something experience hasn't taught you.123.121.201.109 (talk) 08:28, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

• Episode 6, 01 October 2017, not listed Screenshot
• Episode 7, 08 October 2017, not listed Screenshot

You are the one who is clearly wrong here. Provide proof that you are correct. -- Alex^TW 08:43, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

No need. I have emailed the screen shots proving that I am right to the relevant authorities who will be taking action against your abuse. You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Victoria (TV series). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: # Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made'. # Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.123.121.201.109 (talk) 08:53, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Reporting legal threats

Normally they should go on ANI. Either way, you should add diffs to the threat. BTW: I don't see any specific legal threat. It looks like it's a threat to inform Wikipedia "authorities". If that is the case, I would recommend you modify your AIV report. You should add diffs {{diff2}} to the AIV report for the personal attacks. Include the IPs personal attacks in his edit summaries.
