A better way?
Hi there, hope all is well. Do you know of a better way to do this, where the show goes into "redux" mode? The only other way I can think of doing it is to create subsections under Main for, I dunno, Original and Redux, but then we wind up with duplicate content.

- Have you looked at Top Gear (2002 TV series) for some guidance? Afer Clarkson, Hammond and May left there were major changes but we kept it in one article. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:51, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hmm, I've been strongly discouraging "Former cast" sections, since they tend to marginalise people who were significant to the series. I think I'll just let Ishqbaaaz become its own thing--I just know though that like everything, once you establish that kind of cast table, it's going to spread like a meme to other articles... Sorry, I'm rambling. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:19, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
- I definitely wouldn't go for the "former cast" sections. How that crept into top Gear I don't know. --AussieLegend (✉) 20:15, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

I believe there was a misunderstanding. I received a notification from Wikipedia telling me that my edit was reverted, making it look to me that you thought I did that edit and reverted my edit thinking it was me. I apologize for my message to you, after I posted it I realized I was wrong. I apologize for the confusion and for my action which was quick to jump to a conclusion. I hope there will be no more harsh words on either party and we can move forward from this. Thanks and have a nice day. --Jonathan Joseph (talk) 05:53, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Possible section spam?
I noticed that you reverted the creation of a contentless section by 2405:7F00:981A:2F00:8800:EF19:26BF:E37A. I have looked at the IP address's editing history and noticed that this seems to be the recurring pattern by the user. I have placed a message on the talk page, but after seeing your edit summary, I am unsure of whether my assumption of a user believing that an article does not have enough content about history but not knowing anything to add or your assumption of a user trying to inflate his/her edit count is more accurate. If the latter is the more accurate, could this count as disruptive editing and therefore merit further action? Care to differ or discuss with me? The Nth User 22:17, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
Your draft article, User:AussieLegend/Projects/limbo
Hello, AussieLegend. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Projects/limbo".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Laosilika (talk) 17:48, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Afc submission of draft:RadhaKrishn
Hello dear sir RadhaKrishn (TV series) is created by using Afc submission requests. Please check the page hystory of the article, I am reviewing this Afc Submission request. I am checking the previous deletion hystory of RadhaKrishn I know that the article was previously deleted but now the article is created by Afc submission and I don't think it's need to be deleted again. please tell me. If I am wrong so I am very sorry for it because I am a new member of Wikipedia. Goodd-002 (talk) 13:33, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
- As a very inexperienced editor you shouldn't be reviewing AfC requests. You simply can't be familar enough with our policies and guidelines to know what we expect in articles. Drafts should be reviewed before they are moved into article space to ensure that they are copmpliant and this article never was. Instead, it was moved by another inexperienced editor. The article in question required numerous fixes just to get it to the standard that it is now. However, it has previously been recreated numerous times and was the subject of a deletion discussion that resulted in its deletion so it shouldn't exist as an article at all. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:45, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for explaining me, I will keep in mind that I understand Wikipedia policies and make any article or review any article. Goodd-002 (talk) 14:28, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
Hell's Kitchen 18
Hello. What did you mean FOX did not give ages to the chefs? Their ages were revealed on their interviews, as well as their hometown. Why need citations for them? 2600:1700:49F0:71F0:BDD2:AB3B:69E4:DAFC (talk) 08:13, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- Can you please explain what you are talking about. I've looked through the article and its talk page and can't find where I said anything like that. --AussieLegend (✉) 08:58, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- On every season, in their interviews, the chefs' ages and hometowns have been revealed. You said FOX did not reveal those things. Do you get me? 2600:1700:49F0:71F0:856C:6698:19:181 (talk) 02:31, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- You titled this section "Hell's Kitchen 18" so where in that article did I say the things that you are claiming I said? --AussieLegend (✉) 05:40, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi, the article I am writing (waste management in Australia), or at least trying to, is part of an assignment. As such, I would really appreciate any help or suggestion in order to improve it as much as time allows me, and I got it due this Friday. If you would like to spend a bit more of your time for any improvement I can make, about writing style (you might have figure out already that mine is a non-native English speaking background), Wiki conventions etc., I will really appreciate that. If you prefer you can contact me on esagramma56@gmail.com , my spare email, as communication might be easier.

- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
I reverted your reversion of my edit as well as your hidden note. First, you provided NO actual citation (i.e., link) to the alleged "infobox instructions" supporting your claim. Second, even if correct, there are OTHER entries in that infobox that violate your claim; it makes ZERO SENSE to ban years ONLY on the hosts entry I edited when several other entries in the SAME infobox (directors, producers, production companies, networks, video format) have them.
The real issue here is that this infobox refers to TWO SEPARATE versions of the Press Your Luck game show in the U.S. (which you may be unaware of as an Australian) -- the "original" 1983-1986 version (actually a revamp of a previous show) on CBS hosted by Peter Tomarken, and an upcoming summer revival on the U.S. ABC network to be hosted by Elizabeth Banks. Without years, the "presented by" entry essentially reads as if Tomarken & Banks hosted BOTH versions together, which is clearly wrong; Banks was only 9 when the original version debuted, while Tomarken died in 2006. As long as BOTH versions share the same infobox, the years are REQUIRED for disambiguation unless the entry is the same for both versions. (Indeed, I will be adding years to the announcer entry as Rod Roddy died in 2003 so he can't announce the revival.) If there's any actual problem with my edit then the two versions need to be in SEPARATE infoboxes if not separate articles, which IMO is inappropriate at this time as the upcoming short-term revival isn't currently notable separately from the original. --RBBrittain (talk) 12:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Indeed, there is a classic example of your "infobox instructions" claim being disregarded if not ignored because it's blatantly inappropriate under the circumstances: The Price Is Right (U.S. game show), which uses years in its infobox to distinguish between original host Bob Barker and current host Drew Carey (in addition to the hosts of various nighttime spin-offs). --RBBrittain (talk) 13:33, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- @RBBrittain: The "alleged" infobox instructions are there for everyone to see at Template:Infobox television. They're not something I need to cite as there is a link to the infobox at the bottom of the edit window every time you edit the page. This should especially not be the case for someone who has been editing Wikipedia for nearly 13 years. The instructions for
presenter
are clear: "Years or seasons should not be included." This the same as for some other fields. The place for years is in the prose. The matter was initially discussed here in an RfC. From there it was discussed at WT:TV and eventually found its way into the instructions. There has been enough discussion to support the consensus. See also here and I'm sure you can find more discussions if you look. Indeed, there is a classic example of your "infobox instructions" claim being disregarded if not ignored because it's blatantly inappropriate under the circumstances
- WP:OSE - If there is local consensus to include years then it is permissible. If there is no consensus to ignore the instructions then years should be removed. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:27, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Malibu Rescue
Hello. I was writing to you about Malibu Rescue. First of all, I can understand why my edits were reverted. What I don't understand is if that page is just about the film then why is there a section about the series on the film page? ScottStephenJones (talk) 12:09, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- There's nothing wrong with mentioning the series on the film page because it was announced that a series would follow the film. However, the film series should have its own article, if it meets the general notability guidelines. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:48, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
Callen's Nationality
Callen is a multi-national citizen I have provided ample souces testifying to this. Now I could understand how this would be OR if the fictional universe was not our own but it is well know that the NCIS universe is the same as our own by reference to real events like 9/11 and the killing of Bin Laden, and the mentioning and appearances of real people like Bill Clinton, George Bush, Vladimir Putin, and Michelle Obama. The only problem I can actually see is it is based off the assumption that he hasn't renowned his citizenships, but this is proving a negative so unless it can be proved that he has renounced these citizenships this information should stand. Mn1548 (talk) 12:03, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- Sources must explicitly support claims. In this edit, the first source you've used talks about his mother, not him, so it can't support a claim of Romanian citizenship. The second source is a generic link that doesn't mention either Callen or his mother so it can't be used as a source either. Using those to claim Romanian citizenship is classic WP:SYNTH, i.e. combining material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. The third source does not say that Callen is Russian and the fourth source is another generic source that does not mention Callen or his father so that doesn't support the claim either. Even worse, it dates from 2002, well after Callen was born, so it's really irrelevant. The program is a work of fiction and fiction does not have to follow the rules of the real word so anything can happen, regardless whether it references the real world or not. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:06, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- By that logic of "Anything can happen" you could argue that the charters that were born in America are actually Portuguese - it's complete rubbish. Callen was born in Romania as stated in the season 2 finale which makes him Romanian. His father is Russian which makes him Russian. All following the respective nationality laws. If you won't accept that the rules of the real world apply to this fictional one even though the fictional world is the real one then anything on these pages would be WP:SYNTH as you would have to combine the s reference for him being born in Romania and a reference that by law that makes him Romanian. On an unrelated note please explain why if there wasn't "ever [a] disputed that Reeves was British" did you revert that when I put it on saying it was unsorced then removed the sorces I added in a later edit but keep the fact he's British? Mn1548 (talk) 15:21, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

- Such is the nature of fiction.Callen was born in Romania as stated in the season 2 finale which makes him Romanian.
- In fiction, that's not necessarily the case. It may well be in the fictional world that being born in a particular country doesn't make you a citizen of the country. The point is you need a citation from a reliable source stating specifically that Callen is Romanian.why if there wasn't "ever [a] disputed that Reeves was British" did you revert that when I put it on saying it was unsorced then removed the sorces I added in a later edit
- That was a mistake. I apologise for that. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:35, 15 June 2019 (UTC)- OK, for Reeves, fair enough; but regarding Callen I totally disagree. If the NCIS fictional universe wasn't based on reality then I would be agreeing with you but the fact is it is. Some stuff may be factually inaccurate eg the Navy Yard didn't in 2012 but you don't get large abstract inaccuracies like people being born in Romania to a Romanian family not being Romanian.Mn1548 (talk) 17:21, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter what the fictional universe is based on, WP:V is a core policy and you need strong sources for claims. Anything else, and especially OR, is unnaceptable. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:43, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- Yes it does. Because it is based on reality a reference to say he was born in Romania should suffice. And to be honest with you I could be asking for you to be provideding a reliable source to prove that he has renounced such citizenships to prove he is only American. I agree that WP:V is important and I have provided sources to prove he is of such nationality and anyone who knows about his characterisation would agree.Mn1548 (talk) 18:18, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- As I've said, it doesn't matter what it is based on because fiction doesn't have to follow the rules of the real world. Most fiction mentions the real world but it doesn't have to follow the real world because of that. You're completely wrong in claiming that it does. Sources have to explicitly support claims. That means a claim that he is of Romanian nationality requires a source that says he is of Romanian nationality. A source that says he was born in Romania can only support that specific claim. It can't support a claim of nationality. It's really as simple as that.
I could be asking for you to be provideding a reliable source to prove that he has renounced such citizenships to prove he is only American
- No you couldn't because no such claim has been made. What has been stated is that he is American, because that's all we have proof of. I don't need to prove he's not Australian either. We automatically assume that because it has never been stated, just as it has never been stated that he is Romanian. --AussieLegend (✉) 18:37, 15 June 2019 (UTC)- With him being Australian that's different as there is nothing in the slightest to even suggest that he it. Where as there is much evidence to support the fact that he is Russian and Romanian. In addition you could easily argue that there is nothing to explicitly say that he his American (let alone the fact that it isn't referenced). We could assume he is American because he lives there and he's works for NCIS but by your argument this isn't enough to make that conclusion as "fiction doesn't have to follow the rules of the real world". And regards to referenceing. This pages only has 7 references all to episodes of the show, 4 to the same episode so with your outlook you should really be deleting this page. Clearly, it is hard to source fiction as a lot is left open to interpretation. But stuff that is so heavily implied and stuff that if stated the only inference is such should be included.Mn1548 (talk) 19:02, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- It seems we're going nowhere. I suggest that you take this discussion to the relevant noticeboards where you can get opinions from other editors. They will confirm what I've said is correct. i.e. sources must explicitly support claims, as that is what WP:V says. Mere assumptions are original research and are not permitted. --AussieLegend (✉) 19:09, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Jeopardy! infobox
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
I don't think what you're doing to the Jeopardy! infobox represents an improvement to the article. An infobox should be concise without sacrificing data accuracy. As it stands, the infobox leaves the misimpression that a bunch of individuals/entities are presently associated with the show, even though they are not. Or that the show is presently broadcast in the obsolete standard of 480i. It doesn't make any sense. If dates are going to be removed, then all the historical data should be removed in toto. Otherwise, the infobox is misleading. Robert K S (talk) 17:33, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

start date docs
Since you like making people follow template docs to the letter, you may like the re-read this: An optional parameter, df, can be set to "y" or "yes" (or indeed any value) to display the day before the month. 119.224.3.221 (talk) 04:46, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, that confirms what I wrote. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:24, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- NO, you changed the 1 to yes citing the docs implied that yes must be the only option to use. And you seem to start issues over the way you read and force template parameter usage. 119.224.3.221 (talk) 05:30, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- That was never implied. While anything can be used there, the docs do indicate a preference for
|df=y
or|df=yes
and it makes no sense to use a non-standard value as that confuses editors. Changing the value back to 1 as you did here is WP:POINTy editing at best. Please remember that this is the English Wikipedia, not 119.224.3.221's Wikipedia and you need to consider other editors. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:37, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

If you get a chance
Hey, have you by any chance read my post on {{Infobox television season}}. There aren't that many of us maintaining it so would appreciate your opinion. --Gonnym (talk) 16:14, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- While I've re-added
|season_name=
I really think that was a mistake and instead of fixing the actual issues we prefered to stick our head in the sand. This is an example of an edit that "needed" the parameter. It uses story arch names instead of the default season number for the infobox; has an incorrect article title per NCTV and abuses the parameter with br tags which don't follow accessibility. I'm almost positive that over 90% of the issues are like this. A real fix would (1) be to deal with the extended disambiguation in the title, which is redundant, and I'm going to give an educated guess, that you'll see a lot of entries in the tracking category using the custom parameter to override that and (2) make the series have a link from the infobox, like we do from the episode one, which as I wrote on the template talk page, would also fix the issue with iCarly (as it would take the name used for the article link). --Gonnym (talk) 16:32, 15 July 2019 (UTC)- Restoration of the field should really be a stop-gap measure. Removal of all of the fields was, in my opinion, a positive thing even if it caused some issues.
|season_name=
should now only be used in articles that actually require it and we can look at those to see what we need to do to fix the code so that the automation process caters for the article requirements. When that's done, the field can be removed again. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:48, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Sydney (article) photo-montage
Hi, you referred me to the article talk page for the consensus on the photomontage (or the current lack of). At least for me, i haven't been able to find it which means i'm still pretty confused as to why a photo-montage (which seems to be consistent for articles of major cities) isn't accepted for the Sydney page.

Seal Team & S.W.A.T
I have just reread both WP:TVOVERVIEW & WP:TVUPCOMING and I'm not sure how I've violated them? They're both about having a table before adding season heading or overview section. I have created the new season table. I decided to hide it as only the dates column for the first 8 eps can be reliably sourced at the moment. I therefore hid the overview section too so as not to violate WP:TVOVERVIEW. Can you please explain exactly what I've done wrong so I can fix it? Is it because they're hidden? Racheal Emilin (talk) 17:10, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Racheal Emilin: An episode table requires more than just a list of dates. Generally there should be at least 2 known things per table row, an episode title and a date, a writer and director, an episode title and a director and so on. Dates themselves are subject to change so there is no point in creating a table with just dates. Creating a table and hiding it is still creating it and a table shouldn't be created until there is significant content that can be included. Wikipedia is not working to a deadline so creation of a table can wait until then. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:03, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rumah Pilkada, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages English and Indonesian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Numberjacks
The reason I wanted to revert the so-called "valid" edits was because they look suspiciously bad. I mean, look at the poor grammar! Also, there is no evidence that Numberjacks was aired in TV Asahi. Yusheng02 (talk) 22:50, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

The file File:Primeval soundtrack.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Primeval (TV series)#Music. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:17, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
File:Primeval soundtrack.jpg listed for discussion
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Primeval soundtrack.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:35, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- What's required for this type of non-free use by WP:NFCC#8 and WP:NFC#cite_note-3 is sourced critical commentary about the album cover art itself, not the album. If you can find such sourced commentary and add it the article, it will strengthen your argument for keeping this. Moreover, if the album is itself notable enough for a stand-alone article per WP:NALBUM, then it would also strengthen the case for keeping this file. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:38, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry I missed the ANI discussion - I was asleep. I had an early night and when I woke up it was already closed. That's the only sensible result at this point, but I suspect it won't be the end of that little pocket of disruption. We'll see what happens. I have to say I agree with Ravensfire, it has all the hallmarks of an incompetent paid editor desperate to make it look like they've done the work they expect to be paid for.

Hello, I do request that you stop undoing my article. The article is well appropriate for its time as it will start filming in a few weeks and the Bachelor has already been announced. HeartGlow30797 (talk) 03:34, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- @HeartGlow30797: Firstly, you do not own articles on Wikipedia. Secondly, per MOS:TV the article should not be created until a sourced episode table can be created or significant, sourced information can be included. As stated in a previous edit summary, with only the renewal of the series announced, this warrants mention in the List of episodes page, not a separate standalone article. That should not be created until the other conditions are met. --AussieLegend (✉) 03:38, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- @AussieLegend: Firstly, I am well aware I do not own such articles. I am aware Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. Secondly, thank you for backing your argument with reason instead of bias, please be sure you do this when blanking and giving a reason (unless it is vandalism of course) like you did on this [diff] Thank you very much for clarifying things!

FUR Inquiry
If an image already has an FUR for one article, why can't it be used in a different article for the same rationale? I don't understand why you removed the image from the South Park (season 23) article. I was honestly trying to be helpful. - SanAnMan (talk) 16:03, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Criteria 10c of Wikipedia's non-free content policy requires "a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline". Use of that image in the season article would also violate WP:NFCC#8. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:11, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

October 2019
I noticed that you tagged Mariah Huq with {{prod blp}} for proposed deletion. I have removed the tag from the article because it does not meet the criteria specified. The placement requirements are (a) that subject is living, and (b) that the article contains no sources in any form (as references, external links, etc., reliable or otherwise) supporting any statements made about the person in the biography. Please fully read Wikipedia:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people before tagging articles for proposed deletion. Thank you. Adam9007 (talk) 15:47, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Adam9007: Wikipedia:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people is contradictory. It says "the BLP deletion template may be removed only after the biography contains a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article." When I tagged the article the only link in the article was an external link to imdb, which is not a reliable source. {{Prod blp}} similarly states "If no reliable references are found" and "adding reliable sources is all that is required to prevent the scheduled deletion of this article". There are no reliable sources in the article so, according to both the policy and the template, the template cannot be removed until reliable sources are added. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:11, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- Actually it isn't. The policy states clearly that the placement requirement is no sources whatsoever. It is only after a correct tag placement that any sources added must be reliable. Adam9007 (talk) 16:17, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- Sources should always be reliable, especially for a BLP. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:25, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, but BLPPROD is different. I believe it has been proposed many times to change the placement requirement to no reliable sources, but rejected each time. Adam9007 (talk) 16:29, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- The template is pointless then. You may as well just add a normal prod tag. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:31, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Episode table widths
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
Concerning this, all widths do not have to be specified. For example, see the table at Batwoman (TV series). None of the columns have widths set in {{Episode table}}, but the first column and last two have forced widths already set by default, given the default widths set in Module:Episode table. That's three columns with a set width and four without. Works perfectly fine. If a column doesn't have a set width, then the HTML automatically gives it the best fit; same again at Batwoman. There is also zero requirement for columns to line up/"harmonize" between tables; in the case of The Grand Tour, it's much easier not to given the differing number of columns in every table. -- /Alex/21 08:08, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- Your recent WP:BOLD edit has been reverted. Per WP:BRD, after a bold edit is reverted, the WP:STATUSQUO should remain while a discussion is started instead of edit-warring per WP:EW, and it should be resolved before reinstating the edit, after a needed WP:CONSENSUS is formed to keep it. Your edits were not the status quo. -- /Alex/21 08:21, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- Your total_width edit was introduced in July 2019[3], and has been contested and removed multiple times by multiple editors (at least three, by my count). Clearly not the status quo. I see, however, that you have no intention to discuss this. -- /Alex/21 08:26, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Alex 21: You are correct in that widths do not have to be specified but they are, and lists without formatting won't be promoted to even GA status. If you want to remove the formatting you need to discuss it on the article's talk page and not here. You also know better than to make this claim and especially this one. Column widths are the status quo in this article. Your edit in removing them was the bold edit so it's up to you to discuss. As for when total_width was introduced, your diff is wrong. That was undoing a removal of total_width. Column widths were introduced long ago, first in the main series article and were present when you copied content from that article to List of The Grand Tour episodes.[4] --AussieLegend (✉) 08:56, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- GA status is irrelevant at the moment, the only issue is the content dispute at hand. I made those claims as your total_width edits (introduced here, still in July) have been reverted/removed by five editors ([5][6][7][8][9]) - that's some serious long-term edit-warring, and clearly not the status quo. That's textbook WP:OWN. You'll see in the final diff you linked that all the episode tables are at 100%. Further proof that your total_width edits are not the status quo. I recommend you self-revert your long-term edit-warring changes. -- /Alex/21 08:40, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- I hate to say this but please grow up. At best your accusations of edit-warring are a childish and very poor attempt at point scoring. Those edits were all normal editing. Clearly there are editors, apparently including yourself, who don't understand column widths. If you have a look through the edit history of pretty much every article that uses column widths you'll see some pretty impractical widths. Some people just don't seem to be able to add up to 100. The first 3 removals were all unexplained and unjustified. Gutt01's removal was today, as was yours. You keep harping on about total_width but you've been removing most of the column widths too.[10][11][12] and that's just today. Total_width is part of the column width formatting. You can't just pull it out separately, especially when you are deleting multiple column widths. Note that column widths have been in the episode lists since 26 October 2016. That's over 3 years so yes, it's definitely the status quo. Please don't accuse people of WP:OWN and edit-warring when you pop into an article and try to force your edits into an article claiming that your edits aren't the bold edits when the facts of the matter don't agree with you. Instead, how about concentrating on something important, like this edit of yours which inexplicably swapped the "Main feature(s)" and "Vehicles reviewed" columns in series one so it is now not consistent with the rest of the article. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:18, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I have to agree with Alex that to have had your edits reverted because of a disagreement over this factor, it is not a good idea to ignore this and simply revert because you believe you know best for a table - that's making you stipulate you own the article, even if you do not mean to make it appear like that. If there was an issue, why was the matter not discussed on the article's talk page in the first place? I've already now put a discussion topic in there. If the two of you have issues, discuss it there. I'm afraid that arguing that the article in question needs to have a presentation style in the tables to have it approved as a GA is not a justifiable argument, and there should not be a constant "back-and-forth" dispute over column width for tables because that sets a bad example of behaviour for editors to exhibit. GUtt01 (talk) 10:03, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- Each time I have had to revert an editor who clearly does not understand column widths I have provided an explanation as to why their edit was wrong.
If there was an issue, why was the matter not discussed on the article's talk page in the first place?
It has never been an issue because I have always explained in edit summaries and nobody has seen fit to raise it on the talk page. You questioned the requirement in an edit summary but you chose not to discuss it on the talk page before making the change. Why not?arguing that the article in question needs to have a presentation style in the tables to have it approved as a GA is not a justifiable argument
- I'm afraid that it is. It dates back to at least 2012 when there was an attempt to promote List of Friends episodes and the whole article was turned into a bare table not using {{Episode list}}.[13] That prompted a significant change to {{Episode list}}. You can see the resultant discussions that started at Template talk:Episode list/Archive 3#Possible need to change the template, and remove some functionality. Discussion continued until Archive 5 and also prompted changes in the way we format episode lists. Column formatting is not essential but it is preferred if you ever want to get an article promoted and there really is no reason not to do it. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't seem to understand it, or how to count to 100. I understand this was all a few months before you started editing, so you may not have been aware, especially as your edits were somewhat sporadic until late 2015. --AussieLegend (✉) 10:25, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

No further dispute on List of The Grand Tour episodes
I'm not gonna make further reversions on Table Layout on this article, and leave it to discussion on the talk page.

I'm just concerned I can't state this on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring - I had to have an admin stop me involving myself in matters stated there, and thus I can't argue my case in the comments off the notice against me, made by one of the IPs that was involved in the dispute.

Please follow WP:BRD
Your recent revert at Template:Infobox television/doc forces a change without consensus, which is the opposite of how Wikipedia discussion works. Just because an obscure change to a documentation page remained unnoticed for two years doesn't mean that the editors who were affected by it accepted it (the vast majority are quite certainly not even aware of it).
The onus isn't on me to obtain consensus for a WP:BOLD change to be reverted, but on you to show why it should be kept. Reversing the "burden of proof" like this is absolutely unacceptable in general, but particularly so considering that numerous past discussions concerning this template (and WP:TV in general) have ended in an implied "no consensus". Modernponderer (talk) 15:32, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Modernponderer: If you were talking about a recent edit you might have a point, but you're talking about an edit that was made over 2 years ago with 75 intermediate revisons by 25 editors as of now. At this point it is clearly the WP:STATUS QUO and it is up to you to gain consensus to remove the word while respecting WP:BRD. Trivialist's edit simply clarified the way we've always done things. It's not something that needed consensus to add. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:24, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- That edit changed the status quo on numerous articles that I've been following for years, removing extremely useful information from the infobox (and replacing it with quasi-WP:TRIVIA, though that's less of a problem). It went directly against long-standing consensus on all of those pages.
- Editors cannot be expected to follow the minutiae of every obscure internal Wikipedia page. I myself have edited that very page sporadically for years, and yet I had no idea such a change had been made until I saw what was happening and checked its history. Modernponderer (talk) 16:56, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Can you please provide examples of "quasi-WP:TRIVIA" that was added to articles? Why would simply clarifying something do that? More than likely the information was incorrect in the first place, as often happens with TV articles. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:06, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
Before the change, in just about every TV series article I had been following it was the current distributor(s) that were listed. Unlike the production companies, which obviously never change once the show is made, the "original" distributor often has nothing to do with the show and is just the contractor that's chosen at the time, which is why I called it quasi-trivia. Personally, the vast majority of the time when I'm looking for distributor info for a show I'm looking for the current one, not historical information (which arguably does not belong in the infobox at all, but again that's a less pressing issue). And one would imagine the same is true of the vast majority of Wikipedia readers. Modernponderer (talk) 18:09, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Top Gear (series 28)
Thanks for your concern AussieLegend but I was in the progress of creating a page for Top Gear (series 28) which has now been created. I just need to know how to copy the link on to the main top gear list of episodes page. User:MichaelCorleone7 (talk) 17:44, 25 December 2019 (GMT)
- @MichaelCorleone7: Pages should be created before they are linked to. Doing so prevents other editors from removing what appear to be pointless redlinks. --AussieLegend (✉) 02:44, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Fires
Hey, I hope you and yours are safe from the nightmare fires your nation is enduring. Best to you, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:33, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for your concern but we're safe. We did have a lot of smoke from fires about 30 miles to the south-west several weeks ago but nothing lately. I had to drive to a town near the fires one night but while I saw several fire vehicles I saw no flames. On the whole 50 mile trip out there I only smelled smoke once. Closer to home, about 6-7 miles north of here, there are three rest areas on the highway. Every fire season one is destroyed by fire but this year nothing has happened. All up it's been rather surreal for us. I'd have been happy to have our typical fires if the places that have been burned could have avoided it. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:27, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

About the page
I see that you moved the page to draft because of "inappropriate move". Well, i cant move the page to Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs! 'cuz the page history must be also moved along with the article text and idk how. Can you help me with that? Francofonné (talk) 15:54, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- As I've said on your talk page it should not have been moved to article space. Being unable to move it to the correct page is not an excuse to move it to the wrong page. That sort of move is disruptive at best. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:58, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- You're right. When the series air...then the page should be moved. Francofonné (talk) 16:40, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Victoria River, Northern Territory
Hi Aussie Legend,
I am currently looking at Victoria River, Northern Territory: Revision history where you are listed as the editor who moved the article from "Victoria River, Northern Territory to Victoria River (Northern Territory)" on 11 November 2007. Earlier in 2007, the NT Government created a locality with the same name. I have written an article about the locality and want to upload it. Do I replace the existing content at Victoria River, Northern Territory with the article or do I do something else? By the way, I have checked what articles link to Victoria River, Northern Territory and revised those links that should go to Victoria River (Northern Territory). Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 10:20, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
- Just replace the content at the redirect. That's where the locality article should be. I'll be interested to read what the article says. :) --AussieLegend (✉) 10:29, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
- The redirect has just been replaced with the article. Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 23:24, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Hey Aussie, do you have any ideas for how to make the character section at Tayo the Little Bus#Characters a little more intuitive and easy to read? Someone complained about it on the talk page and I don't know what the best approach would be since there are multiple levels of information. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:41, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- I did make one change to indent "Voiced by" but I'm not really sure of the best way to address the overall problem. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:11, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- I appreciate the help. I think you see what was confusing me as well. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:42, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
Regarding the Mitsubishi GTO page merge
That thread is ridiculous. Why bring tractors into the picture when the car in question is a road going grand touring car? I STRONGLY OPPOSE a merge like some people were saying. Thanks. VR-4 Enthusiast (talk) 20:27, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- This thread had me thoroughly confused until I worked out what was going on. The merge proposal has nothing to do with Mitsubishi GTO per se. It's about merging {{Infobox tractor}} into {{infobox automobile}}. Mitsubishi GTO would not change at all. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:45, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
{{Infobox television}} genre parameter
Hey Aussie, am I nuts, or did the {{Infobox television}} |genre=
parameter used to instruct that a maximum of four genres be entered into that field? I found this discussion where I mention something to this effect and I remember the discussion where some felt that four was too much. Anyway, It's no longer there, so I was trying to figure out where it went, but I can't for the life of me find it. Ideas? [Template:Infobox television/doc Here's a link to the docs page]. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:34, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- I vaguely remember something to that effect but Ican't shed any more light on the issue. --AussieLegend (✉) 02:43, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. And sorry I munged up the formatting on the doc link. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:07, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- I guess I was thinking about this RfC, but it doesn't appear anyone agreed on the maximum # of genres for that parameter. I still find it irritating that the children keep blowing it out like here. Take care, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:16, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Sydney airport
Suspensions are by definition temporary. It is clear that encyclopaedias do not contain purely temporary information. There are a multitude of Wikipedia advice to support this - WP:NOTDIRECTORY, WP:NOTTRAVEL, WP:SECONDARY, WP:NOTEVERYTHING, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NOTGUIDE. By all means if you think the virus is interesting to the article - write a section on it properly referencing it to secondary references, adding it to the destination tables to be removed in weeks or months WP:CRYSTAL is simply and absolutely not encyclopaedic. Andrewgprout (talk) 04:43, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Since it is not actually known when these suspensions will be lifted, due to ongoing uncertainty caused by the current pandemic, the suspensions can be regarded as, at the very least, being semi-permanent. By rights, since there is no activity the data should be removed from the article as the services are not likely to resume any time soon. However, that is a little impractical as, hopefully, one day they will resume. Tagging the services as being suspended is the best way to inform readers that the services are not currently valid until we have some way of determining when and if they will be resumed. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:17, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Hope Your OK
Hey AussieLegend (✉), my sincerest apologies at your loss and hope you are ok. What a world? First the Australian Bushfires and now CoVID-19. Anyway I hope your ok and just wanted to let you know, that Wikipedia as a site, isn't the same without your contributions. User:MichaelCorleone7 23:25, 06 April 2020 (GMT)
- Thank you. Fortunately, neither the bushfires or COVID-19 have had any real effect on me, other than forcing me to grocery shop more often due to item limits, and reduced opening times mean that I am exposed to more people than I otherwise would be. That's more annoying than anything else. Fear not, I am still contributing to Wikipedia, moreso in recent months as I was social distancing before it was popular. Stay safe. --AussieLegend (✉) 07:08, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

User:Bijdenhandje
My response to his post at WP:AN3, for posterity: Actually, that is not at all true. You added a blatantly unnecessary link to Young Sheldon which I reverted with the summary "Add the link when the article has been created". You reverted that without explanation.[16] I reverted again, hoping that you'd get the message this time, leaving the edit summary "Again, add the link when you've created the article." Again without explanation you reverted.[17] I decided not to continue reverting and instead left a soft warning on your talk page, hoping that you might finally get the message.[18] Obviously you didn't, as you then left an unjustified identical warning on my talk page.[19] This was an improper use of a warning template so I left an appropriate warning on your talk page.[20] Looking at it now, I meant to left an improper use of warning template message but I inadvertently selected the vandalism template. I followed that up with a personalised warning about improperly using warning template.[21] By that time though, you rather childishly left the same warning on my talk page.[22]I considered that harassment so I left an appropriate warning on your talk page.[23] Legitimate warnings like those that I left on your talk page are not harassment. Unjustified warnings like those that you left on my talk page are harassment. I'll also note that you have reverted every post that I have made, as well as a post by another editor who was offering you some sound advice. --AussieLegend (✉) 11:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Look, I want this issue with episode and seasons to be settled already. But right now there’s a discussion on whether they should be included or not. So far people seem to split on the issue. I thought we should revert the pages back to before everything was an issue. I even asked for your help on this issue. Rodent Zuna (talk) 18:09, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Bogus warnings
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please stop reverting edits that you disagree with. A dispute or disagreement should be discussed in the article's talk page, not in the form of constant reverting. Your reverts are disruptive and unconstructive to proper discussion and progress. - Cement4802 (talk) 00:41, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Cement4802: - Improper use of warning teplates, such as that above, is inappropriate and can result in you being blocked. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:44, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- AussieLegend This was a warning against your repetitive reverts on the Sydney page. Constant reverts and changing the article back to how you think it should be is classified as edit warring. Please stop this behaviour, otherwise it could lead to disciplinary action - Cement4802 (talk) 11:25, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- This "warning" was completely inappropriate and could be regarded to be harassment. This, along with the baseless allegations that you posted to your talk page,[24] presents a very dim view of you and would not work in your favour in any report. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:12, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
