Cast list[edit]

Yes, we have a cast list. No surprise. However, it is an unsourced cast list for shows that have not yet aired in a series that has been the subject of lots of vandalism. Without reliable sources for the information, I'm afraid the list will have to go. - SummerPhD^v2.0 18:51, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SummerPhDv2.0: Eddie Redmayne, Joe Mills and Nigel Pilkington have all confirmed their characters will appear. And common sense will tell the title character will appear. Duh! --ACase0000 (talk) 21:27, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If Redmayne, Mills and Pilkington have confirmed, add them back with sources. Thomas is the only "title" character. We assume he will be in season 20. Who is voicing him in season 20?

The entire section is unsourced. Hell, the whole article is based on a single Tweet which tells us there will be a season 20 and there will be CGI. We have sources here for nothing else. This article (if we can call it an article) says it provides details. There are no details to provide in evidence. Guesswork is not the basis for an encyclopedia. - SummerPhD^v2.0 21:53, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SummerPhDv2.0: Hasler and May signed 6 year contracts to voice Thomas. And just joined in March. Pilkington and Mills confinfirmed on twitter and Redmayne was confirmed by HiT Entertainment via SiF. Sadly Mills deleted his tweets. --ACase0000 (talk) 22:31, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If there are sources to confirm the material, restore the material with cites that confirm the material. Otherwise, you'll need to wait until independent reliable sources confirm the material. - SummerPhD^v2.0 22:42, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SummerPhDv2.0: Is SiF reliable? --ACase0000 (talk) 22:46, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what "SiF" is. - SummerPhD^v2.0 03:01, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SummerPhDv2.0: Take a look at the tweet that is on the page. --ACase0000 (talk) 03:41, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's an unofficial fan site.[1] No, that is not a reliable source. - SummerPhD^v2.0 05:15, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SummerPhDv2.0: Even an interview they've done with an official staff member of the show? --ACase0000 (talk) 05:28, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SummerPhDv2.0: Hello?????? --ACase0000 (talk) 19:33, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SummerPhDv2.0: Please answer! --ACase0000 (talk) 05:26, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I, personally, would not have a problem with the reliability of material from an interview with someone closely involved with the material in question. - SummerPhD^v2.0 01:04, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. :-) @SummerPhDv2.0: --ACase0000 (talk) 01:39, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The cast list is still unsourced. - SummerPhD^v2.0 05:20, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Last call... - SummerPhD^v2.0 03:15, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

Nothing from this series has been released. This means we cannot get information from the show itself. So, ALL information must cite sources. We do not know when it will air; you must show where the dates came from. We do not know the titles of any episodes; you must show where you got the titles from. We do not know who voices the various characters; you must show us where you got the voice cast from.

If you independent reliable sources haven't talked enough about this series, we cannot have an article on it. If you add information without giving your sources, we will remove it even if it is right. - SummerPhD^v2.0 11:49, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As we keep getting lots of information here without sources, I guess it is time to edit protect the article. After that, to edit the article, you will need to either have a registered account or request the edit on the talk page. - SummerPhD^v2.0 20:21, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding information[edit]

Two episodes have aired in the UK. Those episodes serve as sources for themselves, giving us the voice actors for the UK versions. Without cited sources, we do not have any future episodes or any information about US airings/voice actors.

If you are the unregistered editor and wish to learn to cite sources so that you can add further info, it would be much easier to do that if you registered an account. Otherwise, there is really no way to contact you or do much to help you.

Any unsourced additions to this article will be reverted. If the unsourced additions continue, I will ask to have the page locked again. - SummerPhD^v2.0 16:30, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes, it's almost like I'm talking to myself.

Three things can happen here:

1) You can start citing sources.

2) You can give up and stop adding material without citing sources.

3) You can keep adding unsourced material, I'll keep removing it until I get tired of it and have the page protected.

Take your pick. - SummerPhD^v2.0 01:45, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like we're heading toward #3. - SummerPhD^v2.0 03:39, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I guess page protection wins. - SummerPhD^v2.0 13:33, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The IP sock has returned with more unsourced claims of future episodes, vague "UPDATE"s and hopes that various characters will return. Again, I am reverting them across the board, per WP:EVADE and WP:V. I expect we will need page protection again. - SummerPhD^v2.0 13:45, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done.

As this information concerns as-yet unaired episodes, you must provide a reliable source for any information about them, as you have been told repeatedly.

Additionally, as you have been repeatedly blocked for such edits and are currently evading several blocks agaisnt you, you are not allowed to edit Wikipedia. In fact, that is why this article is currently locked. - SummerPhD^v2.0 23:32, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
