User talk:68.36.180.44

Hello, I'm Moriwen. I noticed that you recently removed content from Lisa: The Painful without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. — Moriwen (talk) 14:33, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Your edit at The World Ends with You: The Animation

I have reverted your edit at The World Ends with You: The Animation. Whilst IMDb is generally considered unreliable, its use as a source for cast lists is currently listed as a disputed use at WP:CITEIMDB, meaning editors have not reached consensus on whether or not to use it for this purpose. Regardless, it does not in my opinion warrant the blanking of a section. Removal of the reference and tagging the section with {{Unreferenced section|date=May 2024}}, or leaving the reference in place and tagging the section with {{Unreliable sources section|date=May 2024}} would have been more appropriate. I have gone ahead and applied the unreliable sources section tag. Adam Black ^{talk • contributions} 00:08, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

IMDB was only one of the issues; the bigger problem was that the table was a mess, missing half the cast and randomly mixing up Japanese and English actors. It isn't at all helpful to anyone unfamiliar with the material, and is better off removed than left in that state, at least until someone fixes it. (And a better source for the cast in this specific case would be BTVA, which has screenshots of the show's credits to verify them.) 68.36.180.44 (talk) 03:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

If you have a reliable source, use it! Add it to the article and make improvements to the table. There is a reason we have maintenance templates, blanking content is unnecessary. Adam Black ^{talk • contributions} 03:58, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

(continuing a discussion at Adam Black GB's talkpage) I agree that vandalism is the wrong word to describe 68.36.180.44's edit, but Adam Black GB may also have misclicked in Huggle. Air on White (talk) 04:01, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

That's correct, it should have been the content blanking button. Adam Black ^{talk • contributions} 04:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

My point is that I don't understand why Adam Black GB is rewarding poorly cited, poorly formatted, and incomplete information. It's a mess that would need a complete overhaul, and some of us don't always have time to make those kinds of fixes. I'd argue it's better to include no information than bad information. (And again, NOT vandalism.) -- 68.36.180.44 (talk) 04:06, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

I am currently fixing the table to differentiate between Japanese and English voice actors. I don't particularly have the time either to focus on this but I'd rather do it than see content being continually and arbitrarily deleted. Again, there is a reason we have maintenance templates on Wikipedia. Please do not blank content where it is not necessary. Adam Black ^{talk • contributions} 04:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

I was already working on it, along with improving the sourcing. It's fine, whatever. I would appreciate not being talked down to, though; I'm well aware of maintenance tags, and I don't see how having a blank section with a "please improve" tag is somehow worse than the same tag in a section with bad info. -- 68.36.180.44 (talk) 04:17, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Well, I spent almost an hour trying to fix the table and lost all of my work because of an edit conflict with you. That was a really good use of my time. I'm not sure why you couldn't say you were working on it after my first reversion. Adam Black ^{talk • contributions} 04:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

You know what? No. You don't get to put that on me. You have talked down to me the entire time, ignoring the things I'm saying when I try to communicate, not even offering a simple "my bad" for the misclick, and now you frame me actually going in and fixing the section as a bad thing because you never thought to re-check the talk page or use the preview button to check if a conflicting edit happened? Absolutely not. May our paths never cross again. -- 68.36.180.44 (talk) 05:08, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to apologise for the way I behaved last night. I do think I was right to revert your initial edits, but I have reflected and acknowledge that I was short with you, my comments did not assume good faith, and I reacted poorly to your responses. While it is not an excuse, for context I received the latest in a series of unpleasant test results from my doctor yesterday. I was on Wikipedia partly to take my mind off things, and I unfortunately let my frustrations come out here. Please accept my sincere apologies. Adam Black ^{talk • contributions} 22:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciate your apology and I genuinely wish you the best. -- 68.36.180.44 (talk) 01:19, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
