CatDog episode list
I'm pretty sure I was supposed to change the color codes to match the series overview colors, if that's the case, maybe you or me should change the series overview chart colors to match the episode lists. Icebear244Icebear244 (talk) 14:56, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Sherlock (TV Series) - Recent Edits
Hello Alex,

I see you reverted the collection of reviews I posted in regards to the fourth series of BBC's Sherlock. Perhaps I was testing the waters with the final line, but what I contributed to the page is hugely relevant and a report on the journalism of the series, which absolutely DID (as you can see for yourself via Rotten Tomatoes, for example) receive many scathing reviews. Mentioning this, as it is a major deviation from the series' previous standing in critical circles, is both relevant and noteworthy. As well, the graph showing the series' ratings should be updated to show the fourth series (which premiered, now, SIX months ago), which will indicate a drop in ratings; the fact this remains absent from the page appears to show major bias on the part of Wikipedia, which is not what this site stands for, as you know. As sad as anyone (yourself included) may find the decline of the series' reputation to many, these are the basic facts and there is no reason for them to be removed from the page.

Please respond.

Thank you, SB — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.206.157.65 (talk) 17:39, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello. To start off with, I would appreciate if you signed your posts on my talk page with ~ . You can read about talk page guidelines at WP:TPG. Thank you.
 * As for the contributions... You would notice how the "Critical reception" section does not go into major detail concerning any of the previous three series. There is a reason for this and that is due to the fact that that particular article concerns the programme as a whole; that is, it does not and should not focus on any particular series, but only upon the programme of Sherlock. While the fourth series may have indeed had lower critical reviews compared to previous episodes and series, such detail is not required for it. If an article existed solely for the fourth series of Sherlock, then that is where the information would be added.
 * For your request that the graph should be updated, if you are talking about the graph captioned "Metacritic ratings per series", you may find out that no score is yet available from Metacritic for the fourth series, per the page for Series 4. If any bias has occurred here, it was the addition of only negative reviews for the series, and not a single review, of which there are many. I may agree that the fourth series saw a decline in the programme, yes, but I do not let that affect my editing experience.
 * Hope that clears things up. Cheers. --  Alex TW 17:52, 13 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Apologies for my editing transgression. I reviewed the page and believe I've done it right this time. It is clear that we will reach a point of pure disagreement on the matter (on which you will win, as the editor). As there are no pages for the individual seasons of the show, this information is not relevant anywhere else, unless, for example, you consent to a "Controversy" -- or similarly-titled section -- to be made specifically for more in-depth exploration into each series' individual reviews, which I would be happy to put together as well. I do not see the reason behind refusing to go intro greater detail regarding the critical and commercial reception of the show if someone such as myself is able to provide it.
 * As well, it is clear at this point -- six months since the finale's premiere -- that there will not be a Metacritic score for the fourth series. In this instance, should the graph not be updated to reflect, for example, Rotten Tomatoes, which provides scores for all four series and is clearly acceptable data as it is mentioned in the body paragraph? Otherwise, we'll be waiting a long time (i.e. forever) on Metacritic.
 * I believe you meant to say "not a single [positive] review," of which there are many (pushing it). The page is already lauding the entire series (to the point that it is unfair and inaccurate given the backlash to series four), so to explain the one contentious series does not feel like bias, but more like balance, though I understand this is a matter of opinion. I would be happy to revise the paragraph, as well as create similar paragraphs for the others, if that is what it will take for the important and essential (to the history of the series) notes on the fourth series' critical reception to be kept on the page. --S 198.206.157.65 (talk) 18:56, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Sublists
I tried to get enough content to justify sublists for certain TV shows, but it's obviously not good enough for you or User:AussieLegend. Just tell me what you want and leave me alone. --TVBuff90 (talk) 23:53, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
 * You actually need to sit down and find content that's season-specific that's not on Wikipedia, you need to go searching for it and find sources that back up that information. Else, you're just copying across content that is already in other articles, meaning that the season article is not required. For example, none of the season articles you created contain sufficient, if any, information concerning production. There's a start. Start your splits in the draft namespace, then when you believe there's enough, request that it be reviews and moved into the article namespace if it's approved. We thank you for your edits to split the articles, but at this time, they are not required. --  Alex TW 01:47, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Arrow wikipedia Average viewers is wrong (season 5)
Hi Alex thank you for your message, that was my first edit on wikipedia, I have changed the Average viewers from season 5 on Arrow because it is totally wrong on wikipedia, how it could be 2.21 from the moment that Arrow has never up 1.9 million viewers? you can check it (I sum the numbers from the 23 episodes and I divide it with the total number of the episodes (23)) and the result is 1.75 (the number I have changed after I double check it). If I am wrong please can you explain me how this number is (2.21) is given to the users? I don't believe that the current resource is more accurate from this one that I provide.

Waiting for your news for the correction on the mistake or your instructions how this number is comming,

thank you again for your time and your help, friendly regards, Jim — Preceding unsigned comment added by JimmyFot (talk • contribs) 00:56, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes and List of Doctor Who serials
Hi User:AlexTheWhovian, I've noticed sometimes the colours of SpongeBob SquarePants and Doctor Who seasons are a match to the primary colour on top of DVD art, but then some seasons aren't. An example of how they all should look is on List of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episodes, where all season colours take from the colour on top of the DVD cover, thanks.--Theo Mandela (talk) 20:07, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The colour used for a reason should be the primary colour of the DVD as a whole. What season article of Doctor Who uses the method you've mentioned? --  Alex TW 07:26, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The season colours I think should be changed are The Trial of a Time Lord (which should be black or the dark blue of the circles at top), season 24, series 1 (should be the lighter blue at the top of TARDIS), 2 (series 1's current colour suits it better) 2008-2010 specials (should be darker less saturated brown at top). On SpongeBob, it's both movies, season 4, 7 and 8 that don't match. I'll do the changes myself, but thought I'd run it by you because your always editing Doctor Who. If you could sort the exact hex codes out as well please.--Theo Mandela (talk) 19:16, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Plot & overview
I can see a lot of GA/FA TV series articles {Grey's Anatomy) having both a plot and an overview section. Do you think Quantico should have too?  Krish  |  Talk  12:51, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Your accusation of WP:OWN makes me very hesitant to want to answer your question, but I will. Those articles were promoted to GA before the discussion and resultant overhaul of WP:TVPLOT, so no, they shouldn't, as the standards have since changed. Realistically, those articles should also be updated. I also recommend you revoke your accusation, given that you've zero basis for it; serious accusations require serious evidence, and lack of that evidence can result in serious repercussions. --  Alex TW 13:05, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

You spend a lot of time pointing fingers and reporting edit warriors, but have failed to discuss the matter yourself. It takes two to edit war, and you're pushing WP:3RR to the limit (and not just in this case.) -- -- Dr. Margi   ✉  04:10, 26 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Whatever became of the old Alex who assumed good faith, took responsibility for his own actions, wasn't report happy, and wasn't so quick to run to the drama board of his choosing? He's long gone, and I do miss him.  You were edit warring, Alex, and you weren't discussing.  Moreover, Ed Johnston's post wasn't a free pass to keep it up.  You game 3RR over and over again, then run to AN3 to get the other editor blocked.  You both should have been blocked for this latest fiasco; you're part of the problem, not part of the solution, and this edit war is stunningly petty.  -- -- Dr. Margi   ✉  07:37, 26 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually. Restoring so I can face your attacks. "Whatever became of the old Alex who assumed good faith"? He started discussions like User talk:Mondasian Cyberman <-- this one. ANd "took responsibility for his own actions"? He requested permission for reverts before actually doing so, like Special:Diff/787398878 <-- this. I wasn't discussing? It's funny when you've no idea what you are talking about. I did discuss. I wasn't talking about Ed's comment, I was talking about Special:Diff/787399301 <-- this. It was also far from "petty" when edits like this were performed, where the editor deliberately broke source URLs. If this is how you treat people, I truly recommend that you leave psychology. Seems you're too biased and refuse to accept the actual evidence of the situation thrown at you. Unless you have anything to back up the other editor? --  Alex TW 07:48, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Genuinely curious as to whether you have a response to this. These are not excuses, but a defense for my actions. I was involved with an editor who refused to take part in the discussion I started. --  Alex TW 05:19, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

BBC TV / BBC-1
Hi

"BBC Television" and "BBC-1" were seen as two seperate entities within the BBC in 1964 (and the months at the end of 1963 prior to the changeover).

Check out the BBC Genome service to see how the channel was listed at the change over period in April 1964. It became a new channel by default when BBC-2 was introduced.

What harm does it do adding one line noting that the first five months of Doctor Who went out on BBC-TV? None. Less than none?

I have worked for the BBC and been researching UK television for far longer than you have been alive, and am actually in the country it serves, so I might have some more idea on how the BBC worked.

Besides, there's no consistancy on wiki on the channel name. The Quatermass serials of the 1950s, for example, are just listed for 'BBC'. Not 'BBC-1', which by your definition of Doctor Who it would merit it (it doesn't, but that's another matter). They actually went out on the BBC 'Television Service', but 'BBC' would suffice.

From 23 November 1963 to April 21 1964, Doctor Who was broadcast on "BBC-TV". The entry should be amended to reflect that.

No reason given for revert? Elaborate on why the episode's link to "Category:LGBT-related television" episodes was removed? --TheGnerd (11:33 EST 1 July, 2017)

 * Sorry about that, but it's about a same-sex love story between two queer women who like each other, so I'd argue that it is LGBT-related. -- TheGnerd (13:13 EST 1 July, 2017)

Season 1 and 2
You should see the secon season article. This is what I wanted to do with the article. I know I should have directly copy/edited like what I did now. But that time I thought it would be easy to remove everything and start from scratch. I hope you understand what I wanted to do. Krish |  Talk  20:55, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * For when you return... Concerning your comments about me at the full report, I have not continuously reverted you, it is you who assumes I do, but in reality, I barely edit the articles now that the seasons are over.
 * You may have expanded upon them in great detail, and the community most definitely thanks you for your good work, but that doesn't give you the right to mass-delete content that others have provided, and edit-war over it; an editor's good work does not excuse bad behaviour. Yes, you should have simply updated the material after you worked on it.
 * You stated that you reverted after I reverted you - the edit-war onus is on you. Read WP:BRD - you made the initial edit, you were reverted, and that should have been the final revert before a discussion was started. It shouldn't have started after the second (or more) revert. However, you then went ahead and reverted another editor who restored the content! I was not about to revert you a third time; 1) though, it would not have violated 3RR, as you accused me of, and 2) I was the editor who stopped reverting and started a discussion to prevent any full-out edit-war; you should look to that example.

Game of Thrones
Thanks for the helpful message, Alex.

I was unaware of violating any policy or guideline. The reason given by WikiHannibal for reverting the original edit was "looks like PR". In response I started an item in the GOT talk page to discuss the edit, but there were no takers. Apologies if that was the wrong way forward.

And perhaps I'm misconstruing the purpose of the section, but I was operating with the belief that a section titled "Other media and products" might reasonably include other GOT products in other media. Can you advise? Dr John Donaldson (talk) 15:57, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Many thanks for the prompt response. If you don't mind me asking, though - what does one do when the two people who have undone the edit - yourself and WikiHannibal - don't contribute to the talk-page discussion on the edit to discuss the issue? Dr John Donaldson (talk) 16:03, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Color of Once Upon a Time Season 6 template
Hi :) I wasn't very familiar with the guidelines and rules on Wikipedia as I'm not a frequent editor, but I read the pages that you mentioned in your latest edit on the Once Upon a Time Season 6 article, and I have a better understanding now. But, I have a few questions/comments. First of all, when was the current color of the template picked and where do I need to go to discuss the change of it? And second of all, I changed the color to match the color of the border and the spine of the Season 6 Blu-ray and DVD release, images of which were recently released online. I thought I was being helpful because this seems to be how all of the other season template colors were formatted. So, why are you so insistent on keeping the current color? Yes, I know what it is, and it doesn't match. And also, you reverted my edits and justified it by saying they were unexplained changes, but I did explain my reason for changing them in my first edit, so… what was that about? And lastly, the WP:DEW page mentions that you shouldn't revert changes that aren't intentionally unconstructive, so why did you do so?

Hello ATW. My last edit did take get your talk page out of the category. Since I'm not sure what it is you are wanting to do I thought I would mention that the curly brackets are mostly for templates and - as far as I can determine your user page is not one. I do apologize if this is messing up something you are trying to accomplish. I do have a couple other editors I can ask if you need that item in these –.

 * Just transcluding my user icons from my main page to my talk page using the "onlyinclude" tags. Transclusion isn't solely for templates; If the template's page name does not begin with a namespace, it is assumed to be in the Template namespace. To refer to a page in the "Main" (article) namespace, it is necessary to prefix it with a colon. "The Doctor Falls" was an amazing end to an equally amazing series.
