Revert on American Gods (TV series)

Hi there - you reverted my edit on American Gods (TV series) where I unlinked the character name "Media". Media is a very ambiguous word. It's also a character name in this context, which I explained in my edit. It should not be left as a link to the disambiguation page Media - please either unlink it or create a better link for it to point to. Cheers, PKT(alk) 14:10, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

@PKT: Ah, I didn't realize that it was a disambiguation page. Given that the character is the very embodiment of all forms of media, I've corrected the link. Cheers. -- Alex^TW 14:12, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Good stuff! PKT(alk) 14:13, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey!

I am planning to nominate Quantico episodes for FL, Are you okay with this? Am I allowed to do so?Krish | Talk 15:57, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

@Krish!: Who am I to say you can't? I don't WP:OWN the page; I simply reverted your previous edit because it didn't fit in with the article. Do as you wish. -- Alex^TW 22:48, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Gotham Episodes

Hello AlexTheWhovian, I'm Blackcorsair284: I've seen that you deleted my edit. Can I ask you why? The title episodes are right and the source reliable. By what criterion you can determine if a page is reliable or not?0 So, I'd like to ask you to restore my edit.--Blackcorsair284 (talk) 12:15, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

@Blackcorsair284: Please see WP:V and WP:RS. The titles won't be reinstated, as the source is not reliable. -- Alex^TW 12:17, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Humans Series 3 updates

Hi AlexTheWhovian, I updated the Humans page with the news that Series 3 had been commissioned, but you subsequently removed the initial citation, added the point to the development section and replaced the citation for one for Deadline. Can you let me know what the rationale for that is? There were no notes to the first change you made. I can see that you've worked hard on this page, so just want to understand a little better. The new citation contains nothing that wasn't included in the content from the previous citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by T.Editor10 (talk • contribs) 12:27, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

@T.Editor10: Deadline is a more reliabl and reputable source, and references are not required in the lead if the content is already sourced in the article per WP:CITELEAD. -- Alex^TW 12:46, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Why?

I worked so hard to create the walking dead season 8 wikipedia article and you deleted it. if it needed correction, we could have worked TOGETHER. Most of the information was ACCURATE, but im not the best editor. I created the article because after this sunday, season 7 will be over. The walking dead season 8 is based off of the graphic novels issues #115-126, which i am very familiar with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dale Thacker (talk • contribs) 00:43, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

@Dale Thacker: I posted some information on your talk page for new articles. The cast is unsourced, what issues the season is based off is unsourced, the episode table is empty except for the dates, which are also unsourced; quite frankly, it's far too early for an article for an article. Simply because Season 7 is coming to an end, there is no rush to create an article for the next season Also, the title of the article is incorrectly formatted; if you see the names for the articles for the previous season, you'll notice that the article should have been created at The Walking Dead (season 8). Cheers. -- Alex^TW 01:17, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Top icons

Hey Alex. Didn't know if you might be able to help me with this. At my user page, I have a large amount of top icons highlighting my DYKs, GAs, and FLs. Is there anyway for them to appear on two lines that you are aware? The template documentation does not give any indication, but MediaWiki says it might be customizable with CSS (which I don't really have any knowledge of). If you have any ideas or could point me to where I might be able to get the info to do this, that'd be great! Thanks! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:50, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure, but I'll take a look and see what I can do! -- Alex^TW 09:43, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! Nothing urgent, but that'd be great if you find any work around. I feel like this was possible when you could specify the order of the icons. But since those fields have been repressed, I don't know if that's still possible with the new implementation. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:58, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Still no rush on this, but any luck figuring anything out? I remembered I asked about this because I viewed my user page today. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:29, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

So, I managed to create something with CSS, but I'm not sure where it would go, as User:Favre1fan93/common.css would only apply to what you see, and hence only you would see the fix, not everyone else. -- Alex^TW 04:57, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Got it. Thanks for the work! I'll keep it in mind, but I'm curious what will happen if I just keep adding them. Maybe they'll automatically do what I'm looking for. If not, I'll try implementing what you came up with. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:20, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Humans episode summaries

I put a lot of effort into making episode summaries for series 2 that are, in the case of the few that were already there, far more accurate, but you removed them. Why? The current ones only cover three out of the eight episodes and are very inaccurate. Also the section on the recurring cast is far too sparse, and contains a few characters that appeared in a very minor role in two episodes while ignoring those who played more integral roles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.93.88.208 (talk) 10:00, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Apologies for reverting the summaries; that was my bad. However, we don't order the characters based on how often they appear, but rather in the order that was credited. That was the edit that I was meant to revert. Not the summaries. (I've restored those.) -- Alex^TW 10:19, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Draft:The Pilot (Doctor Who)

Hi. I've made a draft article for the first episode of series 10. Feel free to edit it, but only move it into the mainspace when it has enough info and a consensus to move it has been achieved. Thank you. TedEdwards 19:31, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

@TedEdwards: Cheers for that. I'll expand on it later tonight; good work. -- Alex^TW 22:28, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

@TedEdwards: Just letting you know that I've started Draft:Bill Potts (Doctor Who) as well. -- Alex^TW 03:45, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

ygm

Dear Sire, why you simply removed that template-reminder and not even archived it but also, haven't made a revert to my mail yet? Is the email account registered with your Wiki account not accessible to you anymore [as it's a common-possibility]? Or what's your 'mood'? Well, that would be not obvious to you but without much of self-description, I would like to make you aware that nowadays, I'm not in a position to properly recreate that response [in question] in its entirety [so far]. Only because of not getting the "perfect" time [as is usually the case with me, at least when it comes to online-tasks]. Now, neither to self-praise nor 'patronise' myself but additionally, I would also let you be aware of the fact that I struggle-hard to stay away from [throwing] my prejudices upon others. But since I'm enormous-'thinker' too, I'm feeling compelled to reach at conclusion by my own in absence of any activity from your side. So please do clarify that what you intend to. If that's rational enough, I promise I won't mind. And 'luckily' enough [for me], if you do intend to help me but having trouble finding my email, make that clear, to the least.

Regards — Mohd.maaz864 (talk) 21:34, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

@Mohd.maaz864: I received the email, I was aware of it, but I felt no need to follow it up. Cheers. -- Alex^TW 22:29, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Okey-Dokey, Sire. I got your "mood", now. No issues. But I'm interested in taking that conversation forward since there were many ambiguities left to be resolved. So I do propose that we should be able to continue from there. Would that be of any problem, Sire? Regards. (Excuse the rhetorical interpretation, if any 😉) –Mohd.maaz864 (talk) 00:45, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

@AlexTheWhovian: Oh, well. Since you haven't responded so far (I was expecting confirmation, BTW), I'm left with no choice but to assume your agreement. Since I'm {{out of town}} from a week plus, I'll try reverting to that original discussion at the ""perfect time[sic]". Thanking You

P.S. By the way, did you get the Continuum reference here (hint: this section)?? 😉 —Mohd.maaz864 (talk) 21:29, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Doctor Who (series 10)

Wasn't my edit that you've just reverted using the same deductions you used when you determined that "The Pilot" was story 265? TedEdwards 20:03, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

"The Pilot" (or "A Star in Her Eye", as it was known) was always set to be a singular story, hence determining the story number, being directly after the 2016 special. We don't know the relationship between "Knock Knock" and "Oxygen", so the former could be 268 or 268a. -- Alex^TW 20:06, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Cole Sprouse edit

Cole Sprouse doesn't have a separate hyperlink: it redirects to Dylan and Cole Sprouse.

I edited the hyperlink to show this and to stop the redirection.

Quizman1967 (talk) 13:28, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

@Quizman1967: Per WP:NOTBROKEN: There is usually nothing wrong with linking to redirects to articles. Some editors are tempted, upon finding a link to a redirect page, to bypass the redirect and point the link directly at the target page. While there are a limited number of cases where this is beneficial, there is otherwise no good reason to pipe links solely to avoid redirects. They both link to the same page; the fact that it is a redirect does not matter. -- Alex^TW 16:41, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

The Pilot

When Draft:The Pilot (Doctor Who) is moved into the mainspace, will the categories at the bottom of the page appear in the gray box? TedEdwards 19:36, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

@TedEdwards: Yep. It'll just need to be changed from [[:Category:Twelfth Doctor episodes]] to [[Category:Twelfth Doctor episodes]]; we don't add categories to drafts, per WP:DRAFTNOCAT. They're just there for now to get the article ready. -- Alex^TW 19:39, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Is it OK to put critical reception in for "The Pilot" now, as some media outlets have already written reviews? Its just I've only seen people put in critical reception after broadcast. TedEdwards 20:17, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

@TedEdwards: If it's available, then yeah, go for it. Especially since it's had an advance screening of sorts. -- Alex^TW 20:18, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Apologies

Apologies for that edit on the userpage. It was done in an angry manner and I should have just let it go. Thanks for being "on the ball" so to speak.Rhysy54 (talk) 19:44, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

@Rhysy54: All good. Just be aware of WP:OWNTALK. Three years here, and I've had my fair share of editors that have annoyed me beyond belief. We just have to be the better person. -- Alex^TW 19:50, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

About Sherlock's Genre

Hello Mr.Alex! I would like to be informed about adding "mystery" as a genre of tv series "Sherlock". Recently you reverted this edit done by me saying "Unsourced Genre". Can you please enlighten me? I'm a new editor. Thanks! @ Shabor Dashgupta (talk) 15:12, 10 April 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shabor Dashgupta (talk • contribs) 15:07, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

List of The Leftovers episode

Why can't you accept my edit if we already know when the new season is gonna start and finish? It seems illogical to undo my edit188.17.115.147 (talk) 09:35, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Per WP:TVUPCOMING:

1. Years should not be added to said section heading until an episode actually airs in that calendar year.
2. For example, for the eleventh season of NCIS, the heading on its list of episodes page would have been "Season 11" until September 23, 2013.
3. After episode 1 aired on September 24, 2013, it would be changed to "Season 11 (2013)".
4. And finally, once episode 12 aired on January 7, 2014, it would be changed once again to "Season 11 (2013–14)". -- Alex^TW 09:37, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Help concerning a report

Hello, I'm sorry to bother you, but a user is being very difficult on the American horror story cast page and refuses to review the sources that I continue to provide and now he's making a big deal and has reported me even though I have provided multiple sources. The matter is quite silly I know, but I also know that you review quite well and help solve disputes can I have your help please thanks hope you have the time!

The Pilot (Doctor Who) Draft to Mainspace?

I understand with Wikipedia there is no rush to move the draft into the mainspace, but after seeing you quote you made here, especially If the episode has not aired, the content needs to meet the general notability guide, and have enough content to create a separate article; that is, the episode article should not simply be duplicate information from the series article that it belongs to and after looking at the general notability guide, I think Draft:The Pilot (Doctor Who) could be moved into the mainspace, as I think it does meet both criteria you explained at Talk:Doctor Who, but before I did anything, I wanted to check with you if you think the draft is OK to be moved into the mainspace as it stands. Don't worry if you don't think the page should be moved. TedEdwards 17:35, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

@TedEdwards: You know, I've actually been thinking of moving it to the mainspace, but I was deciding on holding out until the episode airs, which realistically is only less than 48 hours away. There's a reason for this. While this article may match notability guidelines, given that there's plenty of information about it, this is only because it's the premiere episode, a big episode in its own right. Following episodes probably won't match this formula, or have this much information about them pre-broadcast. So, I don't want to set a precedent on creating mainspace articles for the episodes until they've aired, just so that we don't have editors seeing this and creating premature articles for episodes the further we get into the series. That make sense? -- Alex^TW 02:20, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Cheers for that, and yes, now you've said it, I agree that we shouldn't encourage other users to create articles prematurely. But I will move it into the mainspace soon after broadcast of the episode has ended, as if I've intrepreted policy correctly, that is always OK and won't encourage any premature moves. TedEdwards 13:14, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

@TedEdwards: I was actually planning to have it moved to the mainspace once it had started airing in the UK; given where I live, I won't be watching it at the same time as the UK, so I'll still be around here at the time. It'll definitely be alright to have the article in the mainspace during/after the episode's aired; when doesn't really matter, as long as part of the episode's aired (many episode counts for television series in WP:TV are updated when the episode has started, rather than concluded). And given that you can't move an article over an existing redirect (as The Pilot (Doctor Who) already exists as a redirect; you can try it, it won't work), it might be best if I move it while (I assume) you're watching the episode, as I have the page mover flag, allowing me to move the article over the redirect. Hope that's all alright. -- Alex^TW 13:28, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, go for it. The episode however starts airing at 18:20 UTC, so that's about 4:00 in the morning where you live, so I'm guessing the article won't be moved until a few hours after broadcast? TedEdwards 13:40, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, just before 4am, and I'm a night-owl, so I'll still be awake at that time, updating whatever needs to be updated. -- Alex^TW 13:43, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

At long last

Hi AtW. We had to wait a bit but a new season gets going tomorrow. Have fun watching it. I enjoyed Class - the fact that it was different from Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures was to its benefit. I think it would have been a treat to be a kid when TSJA was airing and then young adult with this series. I'll bet that when Katherine Kelly and/or her agent read the scripts they thought "This is great because I get to steal every scene that I am in" :-) So is it Sunday when you get to see the new episodes? I get this timey-wimey thing mixed up at times. Cheers and have a pleasant weekend as well. MarnetteD|Talk 00:27, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

It certainly will be Sunday! Around 4 in the morning, too, I've worked out the times, and I plan to be awake for it. And I really enjoyed Class as well; it was somewhat cheesy, naturally, being centered on teens, but it was perfect level of cheesy, and Kelly was definitely amazing in it. I really do hop that it gets renewed for a second series, despite the rumours of its cancellation. Here's to Series 10! -- Alex^TW 02:45, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Pearl Mackie: now or when?

Do you think it might be a good idea to archive the discussion mentioned above, as consensus is very clear, and archiving it will shut Bondegezou up hopefully? TedEdwards 11:21, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

@TedEdwards: If we've participating in a discussion ourselves, then we can't close it, but we can request an administrator to do so. -- Alex^TW 12:10, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Doctor Who (series 10)

Recently, you have been repeatedly adding the 2017 special to the Series 10 page, despite the fact that it directly contravening consensus established in the lengthy discussion on how to group Christmas specials. It was agreed that Christmas specials are to be grouped based on DVDs and nothing else, it was also agreed that until DVD groupings are known, Christmas specials are to be assumed to be part of the following series. Do not add it again, consensus was established and must be adhered to, there can be no exceptions to consensus. Fan4Life (talk) 15:38, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Saying christmas specials are to be assumed to be part of the following series is WP:OR, so that is definitely not the consensus. As I understand it, since this year's Christmas special is being produced with series 10, the consensus is to put it on series 10's article. TedEdwards 15:43, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Touch (Little Mix song)

Hello there, long time no talk... I hope you've been well!

Can you help me with an issue I'm facing with an editor on the Touch (Little Mix song) article?! I've uploaded a cover the remix version of the song, and this editor had been removing it claiming articles should have only one cover and that that is enough. The songs have a great diference from themselves and the cover I uploaded, which has no similarity (which would be a plausible reason not to upload it), is available in all the big music stream/purchase platforms. The user hasn't given any plausible explanation to why, although I'm pretty sure from past experiences it is because (s)he wasn't the one who uploaded the file. I find that (s)he is not being reasonable in this matter. Can you check that for me? I'm eternally grateful. — Artmanha (talk) 01:15, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

@Artmanha: Unfortunately, I wouldn't have the first idea on what the guidelines for music articles are; I mostly just work on television articles. Perhaps it would be best if you started a discussion with the editor on either the article's talk page, or their own personal user talk page. If that doesn't work out, I would suggest requesting a third opinion. Apologies that I couldn't be any more help. Cheers. -- Alex^TW 02:59, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Collapsed templates

Hi Alex, I just have a question about the nav templates like Template:Doctor Who episodes and Template:Game of Thrones episodes, where you can just show one season at a time. Is there any way to show all of the seasons at once (i.e. see the template in its entirety). I am asking out of interest rather than with any specific article in mind. - adamstom97 (talk) 02:41, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, of course. I actually only just recently updated {{Game of Thrones episodes}} to display one season at a time; the previous version showed all of the episodes at once, as it can be seen here. If, however, you mean you want to display all of the episodes while the template is in its "collapsed" state... I'm not entirely sure. I might have to work on that, see if it's possible. -- Alex^TW 02:57, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

I was just thinking of something like {{Game of Thrones episodes|All}} that would appear like how it used to look (per the oldid you linked to). - adamstom97 (talk) 03:53, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Turns out, it most certainly is possible. See the examples below; {{Game of Thrones episodes}} for the first, {{Game of Thrones episodes|6}} for the second. The suggestion was actually a really good one, as the template can now be season-specific on the season/episode articles, and display all episodes on the list-of-episodes article. Thanks for that! -- Alex^TW 04:18, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Hey, another idea... would it be possible to have the template change on the fly? Like have a "previous/next" link on it, that would scroll from one season's episode set to another set? Naah, that's probably getting too complicated, but you've got my brain thinking along these lines... Jclemens (talk) 04:33, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

With this, I decided to update {{Doctor Who episodes}} as well... So much easier and tidier. As for your idea, Jclemens, that sounds like something that would required Javascript to implement, which I don't think we have the full ability to work with. -- Alex^TW 05:41, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Cool, this is exactly what I had in mind. Glad I could be of help adamstom97 (talk) 09:58, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Krypton & Supergirl

Dude, why did you delete my post? What I said was correct. The show IS set in the DCEU, and it's a prequel to Man of Steel. So, why did you delete what I said? 😦 Spider-Man2017 (talk) 04:28, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Westworld (TV series)

Hello,
Can you clarify your edit here please? I did not remove any information as your ES implies ("indeed include the information") but merely restored a reference which had been removed and replaced with the text "<ref name=Bernard/>", although that ref name was undefined. This removed a large red ref error at ref No.9, which your edit has restored. Thanks. Eagleash (talk) 10:09, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@Eagleash: Apologies! I restored the wrong version. I've fixed this now. My edit was meant to restore to the version before the IP edits per the discussion on the talk page about spoilers and characters descriptions. The reference has now been restored. -- Alex^TW 10:16, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I see that it was in fact the IP who first 'broke' the ref. (and then removed it as 'broken'). Regards, Eagleash (talk) 10:24, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
