Train Documentary Shorts Order

Shouldn't the Train Documentary shorts be placed in between Book 1 and 2? Not only were they released between the two books, but they have also been shown to canonically take place between the books chronologically and are referenced multiple times in book 2. A new viewer may be confused on the order in which they are meant to be watched based on their current placement. Ben123111 (talk) 13:39, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Character list

It should be kept with just the characters that appear in more than one episode. I'm sure people will want to keep Mirror Tullip, but we should wait for future seasons.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 23:16, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

HBOMax

Until we have a confirmation on it MOVING to HBOMax, please do not add it along with the picture or the tweet from the creator. Coasterdude1 (talk) 04:45, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strange how deep the denial goes about the previously-Cartoon Network originals moving to HBO MAX when Starting at 42:00 Sarah Aubrey specifically states “Behind me are the 50 HBO Max original projects that will be premiering in our first year of service” with the items in question clearly among the 50--Simmerdon3448 (talk) 16:40, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They made a slideshow presentation, but didn't fully disclosed their lineup publicly by revealing the entire list. This is important because these presentations that show the lineup in passing is subject to change.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 16:57, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So now that the confirmation is given, in comes the skepticism to move the goalposts--Simmerdon3448 (talk) 17:18, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To me, a brief slideshow with no followup isn't a confirmation.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 17:41, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Again, you’re trying to move the goalposts--Simmerdon3448 (talk) 18:50, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Take this as a learning process of how Wikipedia works.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 18:55, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does an RfC need to take place? Because I will start one if necessary.
Also, I'm getting the impression that Simmerdon is refusing to get the point here. The Grand Delusion^{(Send a message)} 20:49, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Refusing to get what point? You’re dismissing proof just because you don’t like it. We’ve been trying to stay out of debates with people who accuse me of wrongdoing without proof after getting me blocked in the first place for not kowtowing. You are not Wikipedia. According to Wikipedia policy, the proof standard has been met. Moving goalposts is not Wikipedia policy. You went from “To me” to “Take this as a learning process to how Wikipedia works.” You are not right, you were never right, and maybe start reading Wikipedia policy before claiming everyone you come into contact with breaks it--Simmerdon3448 (talk) 04:16, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The point is 1) Twitter is not usually a reliable source, and 2) the image that is used is too blurry. We've been trying to get that through that thick skull of yours for a while now. This is probably the worst case of WP:IDHT I've ever witnessed. At this stage, I'm convinced that all you're doing is wasting everyone's time. The Grand Delusion^{(Send a message)} 05:35, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If the debate continues, perhaps it will be necessary. Do you want more comments from WP:TV?Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 22:07, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fire away. The Grand Delusion^{(Send a message)} 22:07, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coming here from WP:TV. It might be possible to add to the production section that The name of the series was listed in an slide show about HBOMax shows.^{[Twitter ref]}. Everything else is WP:Original research or WP:SYNTHESIS. It's definitively not worthy of a note in the lead just yet. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:03, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does the official HBOMax website count as a reliable source? AstrosRocketsTexans3522 (talk) 08:27, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I dont see it on their website, but i do see Cartoon Network listed on HBOmax, so it might still be connected to CN even if HBOmax might have streaming rights.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 14:56, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay alright and also sometimes the Twitter pages can be fake or imposters as well. The Twitter link that Simmerdon gave us could be a fake account because there is no verified blue check mark to make it official. So we do need to wait for an official announcement from HBOMax Twitter page themselves or their website. AstrosRocketsTexans3522 (talk) 19:39, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

By that logic anyone can accuse anything of being fake. Just because you label something fake doesn’t mean it is fake. https://twitter.com/cartoonnetwork/status/1159898392895639552?s=21 Here’s a tweet from the official Cartoon Network Twitter from August 2019 tagging the account you claim to be fake] Sometimes doesn’t mean all the time. DuckTales showrunner Frank Angones isn’t verified by Twitter, neither is Mao Mao creator Parker Simmons. Do you go around telling children that they’re fake just because they don’t carry around state-issued ID?--Simmerdon3448 (talk) 19:42, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

From Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources regarding Twitter: "As a self-published source, it is considered generally unreliable and should be avoided unless the author is a subject-matter expert or the tweet is used for an uncontroversial self-description. In most cases, Twitter accounts should only be cited if they are verified accounts or if the user's identity is confirmed in some way." What part of that do you not understand, Simmerdon? The Grand Delusion^{(Send a message)} 19:46, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that no matter how many times you conflate “often” and “sometimes” with “always”, does not make it so. Maybe because I finally understand that I know the rules better than you do--Simmerdon3448 (talk) 19:51, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No Simmerdon, you don't know the rules better than @The Grand Delusion, he is right. You just put random information that is coming from a Twitter page that could be a fake account. Trust me I have seen this before with other fake Twitter accounts and most of the time they turn out to be incorrect. AstrosRocketsTexans3522 (talk) 19:53, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We've discussed this long enough, the majority are in agreement to wait and see for more official avenues to announce these. There is no need to get aggressive.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 19:58, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, Blue Pumpkin Pie. Simmerdon is continuing to try and make his case when we have all decided that moving on to other things would be more productive. As I said earlier, this might be the worst case of WP:IDHT I've ever witnessed. The Grand Delusion^{(Send a message)} 20:07, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cartoon Network OFFICIALLY announced that book 2 will be premiering on the channel, so it will be an Cartoon Network show. https://twitter.com/cartoonnetwork/status/1202271594535624705?s=20 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coasterdude1 (talk • contribs) 22:14, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I had a feeling this was the case. HBOMax presentation was just for show, and their official website also had Cartoon Network listed on their site, so it made it seem like they were getting all the original content, but in reality it could just be streaming rights. Hopefully this teaches all of us to not take their initial presentation at face value.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 22:24, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New Character page?

We're coming up on Book Three and the character section on this page is starting to look a little messy. Perhaps it's time to make a separate "List of Infinity Train characters" page? --Muppet321 (talk) 20:40, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the logo replaced?

There was absolutely no need to replace the logo with one having the HBO Max banner.Blue Pumpkin Pie ^Chat ^Contribs 23:33, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Le Transperceneige

It is very hard to believe that the iconic French comic Le Transperceneige which appeared in the 1980s in French and in 2016 in English was not a source of inspiration. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:3D24:CA53:C3B9:72A9 (talk) 06:41, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Recurring Character List

The recurring character list and table are getting far too cluttered, filled with characters that only appear in a few episodes and barely have any lines. Characters with only with little significance to the overall story like Mikayla, Lucy, Todd, and Nate don't need to be there. I propose that the section should be reduced to characters that only appear in 3 or more books or 5 or more episodes leaving The Cat, Randall, Amelia, The Steward, Ghoms, and The Reflection Police. Ben123111 (talk) 20:22, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I previously proposed making a separate "List of Infinity Train characters" page a few months back. Perhaps this would be a destination for that info? --Muppet321 (talk) 02:44, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the list is too long. AJD (talk) 07:22, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

wouldn't that plan get rid of Tuba who is only in 4 episodes? Cheycake (talk) 17:30, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war over hatnote

A) Stop it. The consensus version is for having a hatnote as established by being present for 6 months without change, prior to the removal a week ago. Talk it over if you get reverted. B) People are going to search for "infinity train" (like I did) and are not going to find it at that title on Google. A hatnote is precisely for the purpose of someone finding the wrong target.

Readding Seperate page of Grace Monroe

A few days ago, I notice the page which contains the Wikipedia page of the character Grace Monroe is gone. This is important as her charcter impact the series significantly. Does anyone have the kept page? If you do, please readd the page. Thanks. Runningman2027 (talk) 06:58, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Replace official website in infobox

With its CN page dead, it doesn't make sense to call it its official website. The infobox still considers it so, however, and with the parameter deprecated it feels like there's no way to fix it without triggering the advisement message to remove it--CreecregofLife (talk) 01:46, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

since infinity train is making its linear premiere in britain, can anyone find some reliable sources for the news? Akinderbar (talk) 12:10, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
