I can't tell if this site qualifies as a WP:RS (esp. for BLP info)? Can you?... I can't find an "About" link anywhere, so I can't tell what kind of website this is... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:22, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: https://medium.com/about looks like a blog with all the fact checking that implies. Geraldo Perez (talk) 21:24, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

OK, will tag this edit with a {{better source needed}} tag then. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:27, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

+1. Even if you want to argue that Barnes meets WP:NACTOR (and, FTR, I don't think he does), he definitely doesn't meet WP:BASIC – the guy has received basically zero WP:RS coverage. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:51, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Air date screwup with Zap2it

@IJBall and MPFitz1968: Zap2it has done something weird and changed every single air date of every single episode aired thus far to be one day earlier. For example, it's now saying that "I Dream of Danger" aired on March 22 and "The Danger Begins" aired on July 25, 2014. See here. Amaury (talk | contribs) 18:14, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

@Amaury: I'll make note that this is the case with other series (Andi Mack, Bizaardvark, Coop & Cami, and even Sam & Cat and Girl Meets World - the ones I looked up), all marked with one day earlier than we have it at Wikipedia, so this is definitely a site-wide problem. (Amazon has been putting one-day earlier dates on episodes for a while now.) The Futon Critic appears to still have the dates we have put up here. But if this is a permanent matter at Zap2it, it sure will become harder to combat date vandalism on the various TV articles. MPFitz1968 (talk) 18:30, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

@MPFitz1968: See related discussion at User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 8#Game Shakers on Amazon Looks like Amazon has recently updated their layout, however, and now dates are correct, including those of Game Shakers—"Scared Tripless" is now correctly showing October 24, 2015, for example, instead of October 23, 2015—Henry Danger, and the series you mentioned above. Take a look around. Amaury (talk | contribs) 16:08, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Andi Mack

Moved from User talk:IJBall § Andi Mack

See page history. We seem to have an issue with the recent editor who edited the article lately. The general problem here is their known WP:PREVIEW and WP:EDITSUMMARY issues. I left them a note here, but they later blanked the page here, which they have the right per WP:BLANK, but it's obvious they either didn't read it or are just not bothering as they failed again earlier. And I'm not the only one with these concerns. See User talk:Amaury/2019#Edit summaries. They also reintroduced the LGBT category here and pointed to the Talk:Andi Mack#The LGBT category discussion, but I'll leave the decision on whether that should be reverted or not to you. Note, though, that they and another editor are the only ones who supported it back in February, but that does not seem to be overwhelming consensus. And for something like this, overwhelming consensus to include it is probably needed, in my opinion. I was neutral as I was only asking if it was time, following the episode "One in a Minyan."

I don't know if this is something that warrants something like WP:ANI, at least not yet, and I don't necessarily really want to drag them there; however, I think I kind of agree with the observation made in that linked to discussion in my archives that there's some ownership. When I removed the size parameter for the image on the parent article because I thought it was too big, they were quick to revert it. I discussed this with IJBall at User talk:IJBall/Archive 21#Image size? and it seemed defining the size was correct, but they still should have followed proper procedures and started a discussion on the talk page first. Ownership of articles can drive people away, and it's why I just left Champions and don't have anything outside of the Nickelodeon and Disney Channel articles on my watchlist in general.

Pinging MPFitz1968 as well on this for thoughts. This doesn't apply to just Andi Mack or its respective episode list page, but I don't have any interest in whatever else they watch. Amaury (talk | contribs) 18:22, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

@Amaury: I don't follow the series so don't have any informed opinion on this. I do tend to avoid LGBT discussions as they become heated and political far to quickly but given Wikipedia culture I expect ownership claims that some series with any sort of LGBT content be categorized as such to be supported by any attempt at wider dispute resolution or mediation or RfC. If someone is pushing for this it is likely they will eventually prevail. As for image size see WP:IMAGESIZE MOS:UPRIGHT and don't specify a size as that is a user preference we shouldn't override but use upright if it has fine detail that is hard to see at normal width so you want it to display wider than normal to see that detail. Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:45, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

...and don't specify a size as that is a user preference we shouldn't override... Late reply, but are you saying the 400px shouldn't be there and no size should be defined? That's kind of worded odd, so just double checking. I think you're saying 400px is a user preference we shouldn't be using, but then you say we shouldn't override it, so I'm just a little confused. ...but use upright if it has fine detail that is hard to see at normal width so you want it to display wider than normal to see that detail... And I'm a little confused there as well. If people want to see a bigger version, all they have to do is click on the thumbnail to enlarge it and see the finer details? How do you determine "fine detail"? As you can probably tell, this isn't my forte, which is why I'm coming to you. Amaury (talk | contribs) 16:00, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

@Amaury: 220px is default thumbnail size but that can be changed as a user option (user preferences/appearance/Thumbnail size) for people who like larger images in general. Forcing a size overrides whatever the user wants as a preference, say the user likes 500px thumbnails, specifying 400px makes it smaller for that user. The recommended way to make things larger is to use "upright" which is just a scaling factor. Instead of specifying 400px expecting the default 220px specify upright=2 to scale it twice as wide, if that is what is wanted. 1.5 might be better though. Usually we are supposed to take the user defaults unless there is a very good reason to force a larger (or smaller) image on the user. MOS:UPRIGHT recommends 1.3 for images with fine detail and that seems reasonable. Geraldo Perez (talk)

Got it. So instead of [[File:Andi Mack.png|thumb|right|400px|'''L–R:''' Buffy Driscoll ([[Sofia Wylie]]), [[Cyrus Goodman]] ([[Joshua Rush]]), and Andi Mack ([[Peyton Elizabeth Lee]]), in the pilot episode of the series, "[[List of Andi Mack episodes#ep1|Tomorrow Starts Today]]".]] it should be [[File:Andi Mack.png|thumb|upright=1.3|'''L–R:''' Buffy Driscoll ([[Sofia Wylie]]), [[Cyrus Goodman]] ([[Joshua Rush]]), and Andi Mack ([[Peyton Elizabeth Lee]]), in the pilot episode of the series, "[[List of Andi Mack episodes#ep1|Tomorrow Starts Today]]".]]? Is that right? Amaury (talk | contribs) 17:36, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

@Amaury: Yes and justify it per MOS:UPRIGHT. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Small watchlist cleanup

@IJBall and MPFitz1968: Of the pages listed at User:Amaury/sandbox#Reference Maintenance, I plan on removing some of those from my watchlist, but if you watch them and WP:DE flares up, let me know. Or if you want me to keep watching them for some reason, just let me know here. Here is what I will be removing:

Those in bold I don't even watch or watch regularly. Otherwise, it's because the series are over and they weren't a super big interest, which can also intertwine with the bold ones. Amaury (talk | contribs) 22:00, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

What qualifies to be a note?

Relevant article to this discussion is Coop & Cami Ask the World. Ping IJBall as well. The last three episodes are all connected, as the last two episodes that have aired have a "to be continued" at the end. Is that something that would qualify as a note? Something like "this episode continues from the events in X." Or is that generally trivial? Amaury (talk | contribs) 04:11, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

@Amaury: I'd say leave it out, particularly as a note. We kind of expect TV series to have connected episodes with different length arcs for some stories. That looks more like a teaser. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:22, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

I dunno – I think 'noting' that an episode ends on a "To Be Continued" is not unreasonable... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:39, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

If you do add it, put it as the last part of the summary, not as a note. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:26, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Need a second opinion...

But, none of any of this from today looks any good. In addition to their continued WP:DE at Jennie Jacques, pay special attention to the edit at Adrienne Ellis. As I said – none of this looks good. If this is the same IP that's been behind the disruption Jennie Jacques... well, I'm not sure, but something probably needs to be done, which will be difficult as this editor is not at a steady IP. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:56, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

WP:BLPCAT question

Geraldo, is this a valid addition to a WP:BLP after directing just a single episode of a TV series? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:29, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: Directing isn't one of her notable occupations for just directing one episode of a TV series. Good for her to do this but this is more an enhancement to her acting than a new career for her. If she were to direct a significant number of episodes and stuff in other TV series that would be another issue that would support directing as an occupation. At this time it wouldn't belong in the infobox or lead as a notable occupation so I would say WP:NOTDEFINING as a reason to not have it as a category, not WP:BLPCAT. This may be contentious. Geraldo Perez (talk) 21:35, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Fashion Ally

Geraldo, I am very concerned about this article – while there is a single press release supporting its content (and there is another Nick press release from the same period, naming this show), there has been nothing I can find in over a year on this series, so it may never have made it into production. Additionally, the article was created by a now-blocked socker, and has been the nexus of vandalism by the so-called "Done" IP vandal (who may or may not be the same as the blocked socker...).

Suggestions on what to do here? Should we WP:AfD this article? Or boldly move it to Draftspace? Or what?... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: I think boldly moving it draft space is the best here. There is some evidence of a production order but none for it actually being scheduled for airing which means it fails WP:NTV "a television series is not eligible for an article until its scheduling as an ongoing series has been formally confirmed by a television network". We have an announcement of development by a production company but nothing by a network showing it to be scheduled for airing. Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:15, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: I have also conducted my own research into Fashion Ally and cannot find any sources either. I have removed the unsourced content from Fashion Ally along with the related edits to actors/actress referring to their roles in the show. I will certainly help keep an eye things as it bothers me as well. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. S0091 (talk) 20:46, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

@S0091: As Geraldo suggested, I have moved what is left to Draft:Fashion Ally for currently failing WP:TVSHOW (i.e. no evidence presented that the series ever went into production, and for having no announced airing or premiere date...). If more info becomes available later, it can always be moved back to Mainspace at that time. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:54, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Relieved. Thanks! S0091 (talk) 20:58, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Geraldo – the "Fashion Ally" IP vandal has most recently shown up as IP 212.129.87.207. Just letting you know, as we should probably start keeping track of this. If a range block won't work here (and it looks like it won't), we're possibly going to need to ask for an edit filter... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:59, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

The two edits by that IP that you reverted at Becky G reminded me of similar edits made about a month ago by a now indef blocked user, User:Jrodriguez927 ([2][3][4][5]), and therefore the IP is evading that block. Edits at other articles about musicians/rappers, like YBN Nahmir, Rae Sremmurd and Rich Homie Quan, are similar to the blocked user's. MPFitz1968 (talk) 18:01, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Kira Kosarin

@IJBall: I replied to that article's talk page about the issue. When stuff starts to chart may take this more seriously. As for singer-songwriter that article goes into a lot of what that means and it means a lot more than getting a writing credit for giving input to the actual pro writers of songs she sings.

If not really not sure if this edit is unsourced on Back to the Future (franchise)

Hello Geraldo Perez! On Back to the Future (franchise), I've noticed this edit that was added by an IP user. I am not really 100% sure if there would be a sequel to the next film, which I knew that the final installment of the franchise is Part 3. Then I've reverted the edit of the IP for unsourced content then I was thinking I've might made a mistake so I revert it back, then I decided to ask you if the edit (link above) is correct. Thanks and Cheers! VictorTorres2002 (talk) 12:44, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

@VictorTorres2002: The content of the new section was just a copy of the previous paragraph under a new header. I don't know if the editor intended to delete the old content and forgot or really meant to just do the copy. I could see no justified purpose in what he did. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:58, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: Oh ok. I should not readded that the IP added as it is unsourced (or probably a hoax) as the new section as seen in the edit "The Wild: Back to the Future (2020)", but there are no more follow-ups since the last film and final installment, Back to the Future: Part 3.

Is this WP:RS? It's hard to tell if the site is an official Disney website or not, and what makes me leery that it may not be is that the logo has The Official Disney Fan Club. Ping IJBall as well. Add: Additionally, it's a website where you can create accounts and join, which seems to further indicate it's WP:NOTRS. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:58, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

@Amaury: In general, no, it is a fan-site and we generally don't consider them reliable sources. However, there is a named author, the site is copyrighted by Disney, and the info looks real, and an official announcement from a reliable source should be forthcoming. In this case tagging it {{better source}} looks appropriate and if not provided within in a month, then delete the info. Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:07, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Kids' Choice Awards

Hello, I'm not sure if there is any other standard currently set for other awards shows on Wikipedia (also not sure if there is possibly a standard for certain shows individually or altogether), but I would love to figure out what should be done for the Kids' Choice Awards. As seen on the 2018 page, the infobox currently says, "91 minutes (8:00–9:31 PM EDT)" next to "Runtime". However, going to others like 2019 and 2016, it only displays how many minutes, not the time it ran. There are also other pages like 2018 that also include the time it ran. The other problem would be involving the older shows- finding sources to verify what time it aired at. The 2003 page currently does not include the time it ran, but it can be found through an archive page of Nickelodeon's schedule that the show ran 8-9:30pm. Would love to figure this out so there can at least be some consistency, especially with the more recent years like 2018 vs. 2019. Thanks in advance. Magitroopa (talk) 23:08, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

@Magitroopa: I'm not sure what can be done here. If the times can't be verified and are dubious, they should be tagged {{Citation needed}}. The times were likely based on published schedules close to the show date and don't have references as times were considered easily verifiable at the time the data was added. Makes it hard to verify later. There should be historical schedules that can be found as sources, basically that is the best we can do. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:09, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Followup on Vic Hawk

I previously brought up this user on your talk page here: User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 19#Suspicious user: Vic Hawk. As it turns out, that message on Commons was most likely our good old "friend" Orchomen trying to get somebody else blocked as they showed up not too long after that messsage. In any case, I still have suspicions that Vic Hawk is a sockpuppet of somebody. I couldn't say who, but I'm still suspicious. That aside, however, they are most definitely WP:STALKING my edits. They don't seem to be WP:HOUNDING me—showing up just to revert me—but they are definitely stalking me. See, for example, 100 Things to Do Before High School. It is not just a coincidence that they showed up to fix that shortly after I made my edits. And if that's not confirmation enough, they showed up at my own sandbox here: User:Amaury/sandbox/Double Dare (2018 game show)‎. A random user doesn't just randomly show up at someone's own sandbox page like that. Here is the editor interaction report between us. Notice how they've showed up at somewhat low-profile articles like Lip Sync Battle Shorties. Other than that, every single one of their edits has been to articles I watch or have watched. The articles where I only have a very, very small amount of edits were just articles I reverted disruptive users on, but the point remains since I still made the first edit. And, again, the sandbox alone seems to confirm things. Please advise on what should be done, because I think there are enough grounds for a report at this point at wherever the appropriate venue is. Ping IJBall as well. Amaury (talk | contribs) 17:35, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

@Amaury: If it is bothering you and reducing your enjoyment of editing Wikipedia, I can see it as being a issue. If all the edits are good faith it is difficult to show it as a problem to others though. The interaction report may just be because of having a similar interest in some articles. I've also had some editors who appeared to follow me and annoying as it is sometimes there isn't much that can be done unless the editor crosses the line with disruptive edits that can lead to a block. Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:11, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Then I will just continue keeping an eye on them for the time being to see if they do become disruptive. For the most part, I was just leaving it alone, it's when they showed up on both my sandbox linked above and 100 Things to Do Before High School that it really seemed to hammer in that they may be stalking. This is especially in regard to the latter, as it still just doesn't seem like a coincidence, even taking same interests into consideration, that they just happened to show up 16 minutes after I edited, which gives the impression they were watching every edit I made there. Their edit itself and only edit to that article was correct, but still. However, for now I digress and will just continue to keep an eye out, as mentioned.

@IJBall and MPFitz1968: You guys may have noticed a noticeable drop in my activity. Don't worry, I am not going anywhere. The week of March 24–30, I learned that my step-grandmother is dying from stage four cancer, and it has progressed so much since then to the point to where she cannot really call, text, or email us with updates and is having her caretaker do it in her place. Wednesday I discovered that my adoptive grandmother is also dying, likely from getting up there in age (80s), but she's also had a lot of medical problems, including a recent brain aneurysm due to her high blood pressure.

Andi Mack and MOS:UPRIGHT

Followup to User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 20#Andi Mack, where we discussed this previously and agreed that 1.3 was best.

@Amaury: I think 1.8 is too much and unnecessarily large. Image is fine at 1.3 for the detail. I personally find it annoying when editors override the defaults I have chosen for myself and expect there to be a very good reason to do so and by the minimum necessary. Making things bigger for solely for emphasis and no other purpose is not a good reason. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:31, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Follow-up on problems with Zap2it air dates

Continuing from User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 20#Air date screwup with Zap2it...

Zap2it is still are having problems with showing the correct air dates for episodes, but I just tried something. I set my computer clock's time zone temporarily to UTC (or a time zone east of that), and when refreshing an episode list ... I used Elena of Avalor for this ... it showed one day later than what was showing for my actual time zone ... what we believe to be the correct air dates. My guess is Zap2it is not taking into account the time of day that an episode would air in its place of origin and is using 00:00 UTC of the correct air date, which is gonna show as one day earlier for those of us in North America. Problem could be fixed if they used the UTC equivalent of the air date/time in a given locale (like if an episode of a U.S. show aired at 9:00pm Eastern time on May 14 ... 01:00 UTC May 15 is what should be internally represented in their listing, not 00:00 UTC May 14, which is what I'm guessing they're doing; which date shows depends on the time zone setting on one's computer/device). Kinda confusing, but I'm taking a stab at what might be the problem with what they're showing. MPFitz1968 (talk) 09:17, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

@MPFitz1968: That looks to be the problems. Zap2it is likely not storing a time at all with the air date and a blank field defaults to 0000Z. Then the web page display thinks that is the actual time and converts it to its local time. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:44, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Geraldo, MPFitz1968 So if that is the problem, we should probably be ignoring Zap2it for air dates until they hopefully fix the problem and just go by The Futon Critic once it updates. Because if it's saying one thing for me and another for someone UTC and UTC +, what do we go by? Probably best to ignore since it can lead to disputes. Interestingly enough, clicking on "Upcoming Airings" will show the correct air date regardless of time zone, but that doesn't really solve the problem. We usually report the earliest date available, and if that passes and it doesn't happen, we remove it or list the next available date, such as when Zap2it had those weeks of premieres in August last year that didn't happen for Game Shakers. It's complicated here because the dates aren't static, they're showing as different depending on your location. Amaury (talk | contribs) 03:42, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

@Amaury: Agreed. These disputes can also happen with series that have ended and the air dates of all their episodes well-established (with Zap2it giving the correct air dates back then) if someone, on the west side of UTC (e.g., the U.S.), decides to check the Zap2it source in the set of air date column references, sees everything is one day off, and then changes those dates ... like with Girl Meets World, Jessie or even iCarly. Thankfully, at least with the first two of those, we have The Futon Critic's dates, though someone else may see the discrepancy between the two sources and decide the earlier date is correct. Others who are aware of what day of the week a series normally airs will likely know which date is wrong, but that starts getting into WP:OR territory. But no doubt Zap2it's air date problem has stirred up confusion and we should avoid using it as the sole source for air dates until this problem is corrected.

As for removing that source from the air date columns in the various articles, I don't know. I probably would just leave it there. Was also trying to see if there was any remedy with any of the Wikipedia templates we use for dates - Template:Start date, for example - but apparently not. They do have a time zone feature in there, but it would display that time zone along with the date, and we'd have to make tons of changes in many articles, which is not feasible. And simple text for a date doesn't change from time zone to time zone, so yeah, until Zap2it fixes this problem, best not to use it for air dates. MPFitz1968 (talk) 07:41, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

@MPFitz1968: I've gone ahead and hidden them on List of Game Shakers episodes and Cousins for Life so far. As for the issue of other people wanting to go back on ended series and change dates, we've also got the ratings info which further reinforces those episodes aired on the dates reported here, per The Futon Critic. Add: Following this, our next issue to tackle would be the even more bizarre Production codes for Disney Channel series on The Futon Critic. Amaury (talk | contribs) 12:12, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

I need more eyes (specifically, yours) on these ones, as we keep getting edits like this replacing one sh*t source with another one, and none of them qualify as WP:RS, so this one has not officially "concluded" as far as we on Wikipedia are concerned, until an actual WP:RS is produced. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:01, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

This is another one of these examples where the show surely has "ended", but there is no "RS" confirmation of it, because the showrunner has a bunch of unverified social media accounts (which can't be used)...

See here. So annoying, and I still feel like they are definitely following or stalking me—whatever you want to call it. I am keeping in mind what you said about it just being that we have the same interests, but at the same time, just like with 100 Things to Do Before High School, that is their only edit to List of Raven's Home episode (so far), so it just doesn't seem like a pure concidence. And it's not even so much that they're editing the same articles, but look at the times for some of them, as I mentioned before. I edited the Raven's Home LOE at 12:17 PM, and they just happen to here at 12:28 PM? However, per our now archived discussion ("Followup on Vic Hawk"), I will just continue keeping an eye on them and not take any sort of reporting action for now.

Deal or No Deal

There's no episode tables keeping track of Deal or No Deal episodes on Wikipedia, but I still do update the listings across other sites. I would love to know what to do in this situation though, as I'm sure there's at least one show that has had this problem. Basically, for the new revival, 30 episodes were filmed, with 21 of them airing between December 2018 and March 2019. New episodes return in June, and Futon Critic has recently updated, showing as I thought, the upcoming new episodes are still a part of season 5 (Production code #522-524). The problem comes from one of the trailers posted by the host, Howie. The video in the tweet (at the 0:23 timestamp) reads, "Season premiere Wed June 12". I know certain sites have different rules as to what would constitute a new season or not, but I would love to know if the new episodes would be considered season 5 or season 6 based on Wikipedia rules. Thanks in advance. Magitroopa (talk) 02:35, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Magitroopa: With the network promo stating new season we would generally go with that as networks define what the seasons are, not the production company. Production codes are for the production company internal use mostly and don't bind the network as to what they put in their seasons or how they order them for airing. It would be better, though, if there were some written announcement from the network about a new season. Futon considering the new stuff part of season 5 is a conflict that will cause problems in the future for the article if the season break is not tied to a solid network announcement. Whatever is decided it needs to be documented on the article talk page as having seasons not match production runs can be contentious. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:53, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@And1987: The link you replaced was to Moana (Disney) which is the film article and you replaced it with a direct link to the character section in that article, which was better. I found a redirect that went to the same place Moana (character) and used that instead. I didn't revert your edit, I should have left a better message. WP:NOTBROKEN discourages links to sections bypassing redirects as that complicates things if the redirect article gets expanded to an actual article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:16, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: I don't think she has a strong claim to a nationality identity of her work so any mention of a nationality context should be left out of the intro sentence. Her birth in Switzerland looks incidental to her parents just being there when she was born, doubt she is a Swiss national. Likely has Greek and American citizenship because of parents but main work location looks to be in UK. Maybe explain this a bit later in the lead, or drop it from the lead as unimportant to her notability and just leave the full explanation to the Biography section. Swiss-born looks irrelevant to her notability and her citizenship is most likely officially Greek but we would need references. She would have American only if her birth were registered with a US consulate by her father but could claim it if she wanted if he didn't. US won't force it and she can disclaim it if she doesn't want to pay taxes to the US. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:31, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Oon835: It would correctly be Lego Jurassic World (2015 video game), and Lego Jurassic World (video game) would likely be sufficient. But why do you think it should be moved? If there is no other article with the title Lego Jurassic World, then additional disambiguation (like Lego Jurassic World (video game)) is unnecessary. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:37, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Oon835: There is no other article with that title so it would be incorrect to include a disambiguation parenthetical as part of the title. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:40, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Because I'm going to start create a new page about the sets of Lego Jurassic World so that the video game page need to change the title that I told you before. Oon835 (talk) 13:27, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

@Oon835: Create the new article with a disambiguator such as (sets) or whatever makes sense. After that article is created, then we can move to a further discussion of what article gets the primary title without the disambiguation, or maybe both get a disambiguator and we create a disambiguation page at the common root.

SpongeBob SquarePants (season 12)

Sorry for asking for the help (I know, I'm fine, lol) but not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong with the episode table. I wanted to make the sources easier so I changed it up so it is similar to the way the Cousins for Life sources are set up in the episode table.

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance. Magitroopa (talk) 02:53, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

@Magitroopa: You need to be careful about using named references in a transcluded section, which is what is happening here. It all works fine in this article, but the episode list article that transcludes the season episode info doesn't have the named references defined so you get an error in that article. It is also possible that the name overlaps something else in the article that transcludes this one. Generally it is best to avoid named references for things that will be transcoded in other articles. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:03, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Or you can defined the named reference in the transcluded section but then you need to make sure the reference names used don't overlap the names of other named references in the article that is transcluding this one. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:18, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

I know that you're barely a fan of Bizaardvark but you already know that this was the first Disney show to include a social media/Internet celebrity as a main cast member namely Jake Joseph Paul.

Yes he parted ways during Season 2 in medias res to pursue a musical career starting with a rap collective named Team 10. May 30 marked the release of their debut single It's Everyday Bro making him a rapper.

No replies to that query were given after six months on December 9. Also, he shouldn't be labeled as an "American actor and Internet personality" it should be transfused into "American rapper, actor, and Internet personality."

Lastly family name can't be used more than once after occupations. Please respond as soon as possible.

Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:17, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: Dark Phoenix (film) releases June 7 in the US. Sage is listed as Dazzler on IMDb cast list for movie. People are adding the info to the movie article and actor article based on IMDb. We will presume it is from actual credits in movie if the same info is added after release. Geraldo Perez (talk) 00:28, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Considering that other people have been rumored for that role (e.g. Taylor Swift), on this one I think we actually need a secondary source to verify... --IJBall (contribs • talk)

@IJBall: The IMDb entry currently may just be based on the rumors and added by some random user and not verified by IMDb. Why we don't trust IMDb. However after wide release IMDb tends to be self correcting as lots of people have seen the actual credits and hoax stuff tends to get removed. Still can't use IMDb as the direct source but indirectly it is generally an accurate transcription and does tend to match the actually credits so I put a lot of credence in what is there for released material. If lots of people see the film and see her name in the credits we would have verifiable information that would be hard to justify removal. Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:13, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

True and the Rainbow Kingdom

Geraldo, I'm really not sure what to do here... I don't know if you have Netflix, but I just looked this one up – Netflix has three separate series called True Magical Friends (2018, 1 season of 5 episodes), True Wonderful Wishes (2018, 1 season of 5 episodes), and True and the Rainbow Kingdom (season 1 (apparently 2017) = The Rainbow Kingdom (10 episodes); season 2 (appears to be 2019) = Mushroom Town (4 episodes)), and then True Happy Hearts Day (2019, and which looks like a stand-alone "special"). This is all very confusing (esp. as Netflix doesn't include exact release dates when looking episodes up), and True and the Rainbow Kingdom is treating them all as the same "series" when Netflix does not and appears to treat them as three separate series... I'm not sure what to do here, but if all of these are going to be covered at the same article, then at the least it would seem that a title change is possibly (probably?) in order, as this seems to cover the whole "True" "franchise... Any thoughts? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 06:14, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: Confusing for sure. They are related and covering them in the same article looks reasonable based on the commonalities and light coverage of each series. Redirects need to be at each of the names used and they need to be bolded in the lead to emphasize they are redirect targets and that the article is covering them all. I don't see a problem with the article title as it currently is. I can't think of a better one and there would need to be a redirect at this one anyway if there were another title.

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:List of The Thundermans characters#Dark Mayhem is a Recurring Character. Your feedback would be appreciated. Basically, we have an actor/a character who never received anything more than a featuring credit, with the crediting level being, as we know, guest star -> co-star -> featuring.

We ignore how sources style something. So if sources referred to Walk the Prank as Walk The Prank, we would still refer to it as Walk the Prank. It's not a hard concept to understand since nothing is actually "changed," but apparently it is. Add: Another way to look at it is that we don't have Bunk'd at BUNK'D or Mech-X4 at MECH-X4.

Also, there isn't a source linked for Eric Bauza's and Jeff Bergman's characters, so why would there be one for Bob Bergan's? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:D80:18C4:9809:586D:5EA2:802F (talk) 19:59, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Yes you need sources for cast, only 3 were mentioned in sources listed in article right now. First episode has aired and we have actual credits to draw from. An aired episode's listed credits is a valid source of cast and character names. Credits for cast and names of cast that have not appeared yet is speculation, wait for credits or get a reliable source for support. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:04, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Revisiting

I'll leave it to you to appraise this edit – I can't tell if it's from the credits of the already released episode or not, so I'll leave it to you. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:12, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Siena Agudong

@IJBall and MPFitz1968: What do you we think? WP:TOOSOON? Does not pass WP:BASIC or WP:NACTOR? Both of those? Michael previously reverted this editor on WP:EGG grounds at Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, List of Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn episodes, and Star Falls. Amaury • 22:14, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

It arguably does meet WP:NACTOR – she's had two different lead roles in 2 different TV series, plus the film Alex & Me. My bigger concern is that "sourcing" used at the article is mostly crud – the Teen Vogue and Parade look to me to be the only high quality sources; other sources like Tiger Beat should simply be removed. Bottom line: This is likely to survive at WP:AfD now, so I would leave it, and simply work on improving it... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:18, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

OTOH, I'm not sure Alex & Me is notable enough for a standalone article – I rather doubt it is... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:31, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall and MPFitz1968: Similarly, Scarlett Estevez definitely does not meet any of our criteria, and I have therefore restored the redirect. Amaury • 02:03, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Late to the party—take a break and miss all the fun. Basically I agree with the above. Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:45, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

I have WP:RfD'ed Scarlett Estevez (here) – a redirect with 3 different potential targets is a bad redirect. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:17, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: And I've got Siena Agudong on my watchlist now—I forgot to get earlier—so I'll be keeping an eye on it. Amaury • 15:32, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Ella Anderson

I just cleaned this up, but it could use more eyes. I removed (again) her unsourced middle name that an IP snuck in back in March since I had taken the article off my watchlist. Amaury • 02:13, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes

Something seems to be wrong with the page right now, none of the templates are showing up at the bottom of the page. I've checked all the separate SpongeBob season pages, nothing seems to be wrong with them. Magitroopa (talk)

@Magitroopa: This edit broke it checking edit history. Before then templates show up, after that they don't. Likely something changed in SpongeBob SquarePants (season 12) to break the transclusion. May try reverting to an earlier version of the season article then doing purge cache on both article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 21:17, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

@Magitroopa: Commenting out the transclusion of the s12 article got the template showing again. You can check both of my edits to verify. Something looks to be causing this problem in the s12 article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 21:25, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Hm, only thing I can think of that might be the problem was my recent addition. Would overallR need to be added to all the episode listings in the table or no? Very weird considering the S12 page appears to be perfectly fine, must be a very tiny thing. Magitroopa (talk) 21:42, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

@Magitroopa: It is likely something really minor corrupting a tag or template. I don't want to interfere with what you are doing on the S12 article but I suggest reverting back a day, purging cache and see it the problem goes away. If it does, revert to some place more recent and try again basically doing a search for the place the problem got inserted. Geraldo Perez (talk) 22:01, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: Alright... now this has taken a turn. I don't know if it's possible at all, but I think that the main page might be a little overcrowded. I continued removing episodes from the season 12 table, and around "The Kwarantined Krab"/"Plankton's Intern" is when the template began removing. Then for my final test, I removed the top entries just to have "The Kwarantined Krab" through "A Place for Pets" still in the episode table, and all the templates appeared just fine.

Response to my own response after finally realizing this: However, now thinking about it some more, I think there's a List of The Simpsons episodes problem onhand, as 1-20 and 21-30 are split into two separate pages, linking WP:PEIS. I assume this means SpongeBob will have to be split now, so what would the next steps be in that? The page is also now listed on Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded. Magitroopa (talk) 22:58, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

@Magitroopa: Good troubleshooting. You've identified the problem. To confirm note that Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded has been added to the hidden categories on the page and the page is listed automatically when the size limit is hit. It stops expanding templates after the limit is hit which is why the rest of the templates didn't show. Recommendation is to reduce size of the season articles. If that isn't feasible then propose a WP:SPLIT on the episode page using as a reason the technical problems seen and reference similar situation on The Simpsons ep page. Spliting out 1-10 and 11 on looks reasonable to fix this but need consensus for the split. AussieLegend contributes to the page and is familiar with the Simpsons situation and may be a good resource to help on this. Geraldo Perez (talk) 00:12, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Yes, the problem is that the page is breaking the "post-expand include size" limit. It's only just doing it though. Before splitting the article, the first step is to invoke {{Episode table}} and {{Episode list}} directly, as I've done at SpongeBob SquarePants (season 1).[7] Wbm1058 did this to all season articles on 5 October 2018 but somebody changed it back in the season 1 article in January 2019.[8] SpongeBob SquarePants (season 12) wasn't created until March 2019 so it has never been done there. That has now been fixed. Restoring the fixes in the season 1 article reduced the page size by 65kB to 20kB below the limit and making the changes in the season 12 article reduced the size by another 91kb. Anything you can do to reduce individual page sizes helps. At the moment, I expect that season 13 might break the page again. --AussieLegend (✉) 06:20, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Still need eyes on this one – continued WP:DE from IP's. Indeed, it may be time to think about going to WP:RfPP for this one. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:12, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: I've engaged with the IP on their current page. Hope this is sufficient for now. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:18, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

The issue is that this has involved more than one IP editor, and has been going on for months. I doubt this issue is going away. Eventually, I suspect page protection will be necessary... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:53, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: I am assuming it is one person on some of those IPs. If not, intensity is low so likely most that would happen is pending change protection. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:14, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#RfC: Deprecate webcitation.org aka WebCite

You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#RfC: Deprecate webcitation.org aka WebCite. Will ping IJBall and Amaury as well. This came to my attention when I was checking out the archived source backing Rowan Blanchard's birthday a week or so ago, which is from WebCite. That archive site has been down for a while now, and I am not aware at the moment of any other archive sites storing the original version of that source (I'll try to look those up). Anyway, regarding the link, this may be of importance to you all. MPFitz1968 (talk) 17:19, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Just as quickly as I sent notice about this discussion, I found an equivalent archived version of the source for Blanchard's birthday at archive.org, and switched to that ([9]). MPFitz1968 (talk) 17:25, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Your revert of my edit on Zendaya

Hello there, you recently reverted an edit I did within the Zendaya article. I changed the word "actress" to "actor", which is nowadays considered to be the more appropriate, gender-neutral term. Can you please explain why you reverted this? Please read this for further information: actor#The_term_actress werewolf (talk) 04:14, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

@Revirvlkodlaku: Because nowadays it is not considered more appropriate for this term, particularly on Wikipedia. See Category:Actresses. Actress is one of the gendered terms that still has wide acceptance in society. Witness the Academy award for best actress as a award category. See WP:GNL and note the only prohibition is on uncommon gender marked terms, not common ones. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:22, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: I believe you are mistaken, and if the article I linked in my previous comment doesn't satisfy you, it seems you are immune to evidence. Just because there are categories with the term "actress" on Wikipedia and awards with same doesn't mean there isn't an ongoing shift away from this gendered profession term both within the acting industry and in general parlance. Give it a few years and you will see this, one of the last gendered career titles in the English language, go by the wayside. Perhaps then you will be less eager to revert edits that don't seem fitting to you but which are appropriate nevertheless. werewolf (talk) 05:39, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

@Revirvlkodlaku: Actress is still in common usage by actresses themselves currently, more so in the US than UK. This particular debate has been ongoing for a long time on Wikipedia. The actual acting categories reflect common usage on Wikipedia for actor and actress. The award names reflect accepted usage in the industry. Actresses, in general do not consider the term pejorative. When the word "actress" falls out of common usage, Wikipedia will be much more likely to conform to the prescriptive rules being pushed by MOS:GNL but most actress articles on Wikipedia still refer to actresses as actress. Changing it to actor serves no purpose and at this point in time looks forced and awkward as it does go against common usage most readers expect. Geraldo Perez (talk) 06:06, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Also see Wikipedia:Featured articles § Media biographies and check how actors and actresses are described on articles that reflect the best practices on Wikipedia. This is what people expect to see on articles now. Geraldo Perez (talk) 06:51, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: Fair enough, you make a strong case. werewolf (talk) 12:38, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

List of Baby Looney Tunes episodes

If Amazon is to be believed (note that Amazon lists a good chunk of season 1 under their "season 2" set...), this article has been subject to the usual pervasive date vandalism from IP's. I may try to fix this later (though it will be awkward, as I can't inline-source Amazon due to the Blacklist, and TV Guide's listing for the show was no help), but I thought I'd make you aware now... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:56, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

My Babysitter's a Vampire (TV series)

Do you think proposing a merge of List of My Babysitter's a Vampire episodes back to My Babysitter's a Vampire (TV series) is a good idea? A 26-episode series isn't really much to justify a standalone LoE article... (The article needs other cleanup, aside from this, but I figured I ask about this first...) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:43, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

@IJBall: I don't think it is worth it to merge. It is two seasons and episode summaries are all reasonable sized so it is not just a list of episode names. It would be a large portion the main article after a merge. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:36, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Template:Infobox person questions

For the death_cause parameter, if I understand your previous reverts of other users on the matter correctly, that is only used when the death is related to their occupation, correct? For example, if an actor died of head trauma from falling off something while performing a stunt while filming, then that parameter would be filled in? Also, for birth_place and death_place, is it necessary to include U.S. when we have the full information available? At Ella Anderson, for example, United States makes sense since we don't have any other birth place information, but for Cameron Boyce, for example, we have exact information showing he was born in Los Angeles, California, so is it necessary to also include U.S. when just seeing the location of Los Angeles, California, or even just Los Angeles, makes it obvious it's in the United States? Amaury • 19:43, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

@Amaury: Not so much just related to the occupation, but that would generally count, as in general related to the person's notability. The infobox instructions I quoted on the talk page gave examples. Basically was the death not natural and notable such as murdered, plane crash, legally executed. Dying of some natural cause is not noted in the infobox although people keep adding it to dead person articles and other people keep removing it. It is somewhat of a judgement call for things like complications of AIDS when it was uncommon. For Boyce it is not notable. I think mention of US once is sufficient. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:01, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

The Fairly OddParents

Pinging Amaury, IJBall. Some disruptive IP edits occurring at the article, where they are making the conclusion that the series ended as a result of Butch Hartman leaving. Specifically, the last sentence in the lede - Production of the show ceased again after Hartman left Nickelodeon in February 2018, putting the show on indefinite hiatus, as no new episodes have aired since July 26, 2017 - is being changed to say Production of the show ceased again after Hartman left Nickelodeon in February 2018, ending the show or something similar.

Jasonnguyen2606

This WP:DE user is back, as seen on Fast Layne and Just Roll with It. On top of their usual MO of adding the network itself as a distributor, when that parameter is only for DVD releases, as we've discussed in the past, they are now also adding unsourced production companies. The companies they added on Just Roll with It, for example, do not have "Productions" in their name, and also per our earlier discussions on the matter (User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 14#Recently added production companies to Stuck in the Middle and Andi Mack), in those cases, we should find reliable secondary sources to confirm whether those companies without "Productions" in their name are production companies or not. Amaury • 16:43, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm not going to bother with AIV in this case, as it's recently been shown that some of the Admins who patrol AIV will refuse to deal with this kind of DE, though you are welcome to try if you think it will yield a block... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:17, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert

(Gosh, that title sounds sarcastic but it's not.) I think I might have already thanked your edit (I don't remember) but wanted to say that the whole reason I made that category edit to Cameron Boyce is that I was unsure if the death category was diffusing or not (that is to say whether or not it precluded entry in people with epilepsy because it was lower in the tree). WP:EGRS (as well as other category pages) wasn't helping and neither were the articles in the category (even just looking at, say, GAs, some treated it as diffusing and others as not). So I guess now I lean diffusing on it, based on your revert? Heh. - Purplewowies (talk) 17:52, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

@Purplewowies: Non-diffusing categories are supposed to be tagged as such in the category description, which I look for. See WP:Non-diffusing. Without the tagging I generally consider parent categories redundant to any of their subcategories. I believe that making a category non-diffusing requires discussion and consensus as generally that is an exception that needs justification. In this case between Category:People with epilepsy and its subcategory Category:Deaths from epilepsy, the fact he died from it logically implies he had it but since he is dead doesn't really have it now. I don't see the need for non-diffusing in this case. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:28, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Well, time to file that under things I learned today! And yes, that makes sense. I just hadn't wanted to assume at the time with the information I had on hand. (Most of my reason for this edit was actually to fix my signature which for some reason turned into a category and categorized your talk page into the deaths from epilepsy cat, but hey, might as well thank you (again) for the page/info I don't know how I never found since I was scouring cat policy/guidelines before I made the edit. Reminder to myself to look harder for info like this, I guess.) - Purplewowies (talk) 05:45, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
