Info about Christmas Special from DW S10 article
Alex, why did you remove the information about the 2017 Christmas special from the S10 article? It refers the reader to the talk page, but I can't find a rationale there. -- -- Dr. Margi  ✉  23:39, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey, DM. I somewhat explained it at - while the special may be part of Series 10's production block, no Christmas special actually belongs to a series like a regular episode does, they're separate in their own right. So, information on the Christmas special shouldn't really be added to a series that it doesn't belong to, if that makes sense; that's why David Bradley's appearance in the Series 10 finale was re-added, but not expanded to note the Christmas special. --  Alex TW 23:43, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * OK. I have to say, given the production team, episode timeline, and transition to follow it, it seems minimally common-sense that the episode will be part of S10, so I'd err on the site of inclusion.  Chibnall will produce S11, and he's had nothing to do with this episode.  -- -- Dr. Margi   ✉  23:50, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It would make sense that it's more part of Series 10 than Series 11 (we're predicting that Series 10's home media release is being delayed so the special can be included in it), but as an episode, it's not part of any series, but a separate thing in its own right, meaning that information relating to it should be kept solely to its own article. --  Alex TW 23:52, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * That's an assumption on your part. It's one sentence, and needs to be somewhere.  Until we have a better place, the S10 article is the most logical location.  I commented in more detail on the article talk page.  -- -- Dr. Margi   ✉  23:56, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * What's an assumption? That it's not a part of Series 10? I can back it up through the BBC, their official episode guide does not add any special to a particular series. I mean, I won't revert you, but it definitely warrants a discussion on the article's talk page. It's also why there's minimal information about the previous special, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio" (there's probably more than there should be). --  Alex TW 00:00, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Left for Uni, I'll reply to any further posts when I get back. --  Alex TW 00:12, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Teen Wolf (season 6)
I just want to know why in the articles of The Walking Dead, do not you do the same as this?. It's a single season, I think the right thing would be to leave the date started and ready and at the end when the series ends, it closes with the final date. As the infobox indicates.-- Philip J Fry : Talk  05:09, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, mostly because I don't actually follow or regularly edit the articles for anything related to The Walking Dead, given that I've only seen the first three seasons a few years ago... As for the Teen Wolf article and the addition, it is because the season has deliberately been advertised and released on home media as the two separate parts of Season 6A and 6B, instead of the singular season of Season 6. The infobox is meant to be a summary of the article - this infobox separation summarizes the separation of the episode table, which I note there has been no mention of when it comes to indicating the two parts, nor for the series overview on the LoE article. --  Alex TW 05:18, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Then it would have to include that same edition in the previous seasons of Teen Wolf, something that I have not seen, because the season 5 also is divided.-- Philip J Fry : Talk  05:21, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Fair enough that. Added. --  Alex TW 05:38, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Wayward Pines
You should NOT ARBITRARILY undo people's contributions WITHOUT citing actual policy. Your comment of "We don't post if something isn't cancelled yet, officially or not, we add information about what WILL happen, not what WILL NOT." is MERELY your OPINION. It is not only INCORRECT, it is nonsensical. Even based on your illogical thinking, I DID post information what WILL / IS happening with the show. Which people should be able to go to the article and find out. I went to the WP page to find out the status of the show. There is NOTHING there. So I added "official", cited information, so that if other people go there looking for information, they would find it. In MOS:TV, they even state: "Cancellation and future: This section may address details that led to a program's cancellation OR THE STATUS OF ANY FUTURE PLANS FOR A PROGRAM." And, although that is under "Background and production" section, they also state, "...or it may be more beneficial to have some material combined", which is what is being done in that article with the CURRENT STATUS of the show in the top section, which IS NOT THERE (or can be considered "out of date"), which is why I added it. Your draconian attitude is not beneficial to the proper editing of Wikipedia. WillBo (talk) 07:24, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * When I said "talk page", it was clear I meant the article talk page, not my personal talk page. Anyways... You are incorrect. I would recommend that you learn the guidelines and consensus' of the Television WikiProject, and understand what you are taking about and adding. If you would like, I recommend posting this same discussion on the talk page of the WikiProject, and you'll find that the editors there will agree with what I will be replying with. Reversions of edits do not need policies or guidelines to be justified; in fact, per WP:BRD, once an edit is reverted, you should not have reverted it again, but rather should have started a discussion straight away.
 * You added the information that the series is not officially cancelled. If there's no news on it, then why add it? There is no need. It is not airing in Summer 2017? For starters, we do not refer to times of the year in seasons, per given the difference of the seasons between each hemisphere. And it's not airing in Summer 2017? And? We'll add information on when Season 3 will air when information on when Season 3 will air is available. There are no future plans for the series, there's no plans at all, hence why you found nothing on the article.
 * Your uncivil attitude, personal attacks and shouting at and towards editors you disagree with is not beneficial to the proper editing of Wikipedia. If you continue to talk thus on my talk page, you will find this discussion removed from it. --  Alex TW 08:00, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

The Tenderloins error
Hi AlexTheWhovian, do you know what's causing the error on The Tenderloins article please?--Theo Mandela (talk) 02:37, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Illegal versions of shows as unreliable
G'day, is there any discussion / consensus anywhere regarding this? Especially for Game of Thrones where 6/7 people are watching via illegitimate means, how does this invalidate the information, especially when it has been confirmed as the actual episode? —  IVORK  Discuss 14:12, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The number of people who watch it via that method is irrelevant, same as whether it's the official episode; adding plot summaries from illegally released episodes is a copyright violation, which itself is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. --  Alex TW 14:20, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Teen Wolf
Hey bud, I have a question. Why is that you continue to change anything revolving around the cast of Teen Wolf for season 6? For instance, on the main page, Dylan O'Brien should be noted as be a regular for seasons 1-6 but he's also a guest for season 6. Many other shows follow the same format where they list it that way Not to mention someone added a note of that on the season 6 page and you removed it. He's no longer a regular in the back half of season 6 so it definitely should be noted.Joshie (New Horizons Await You) 04:29, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Unnecessary detail that can be explored in other, more relevant articles. And perhaps you should reword your wording of "anything", hm? Dylan O'Brien is credited as main cast in the first half of the sixth season, and guest cast in the second half. Cheerio. --  Alex TW 07:32, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Impractical Jokers
Hi User:AlexTheWhovian, I've changed the colours of season 1 & 2 on List of Impractical Jokers episodes to better suit the DVD covers, but I can't find the hexes for seasons 3 & 4, as colorhunter.com is not very good (3 cover  and 4 cover ), can you find the hexes please? And if you could find hexes for season 5, 6 and specials, or if they don't have DVDs, then promotional posters please Also: should colours of Sons of Anarchy (season 5) and The Walking Dead (season 7) be changed, because their from the text instead of the image?--Theo Mandela (talk) 17:51, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Special episodes
These episodes were missing from the list and were added in good faith. And the layout now suits that of "canon". I wish you all the best.

p.s. I bet you'd love it over at TARDIS wiki, the official wikia of Doctor Who.

 * , the IP posted here after I reverted their initial edit, and it seems to be in working order (sure, it could do with a few minor fixes), so I'm wondering how you consider it to be vandalism? Cheers. --  Alex TW 11:17, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Continuum season articles
I don't know why you've done it but you're replacing valid images in Continuum season articles with invalid images. Did you realise that? -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 07:42, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. I'm still in the middle of reformatting them. Give me a bit. --  Alex TW 07:45, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

User talk:Drmargi
Why did you remove my warning and cite a template claiming I am a troll? I am legitimately concerned about Drmargi's OWNership of that article, and as such, I consider it appropriate to warn her about OWNership. p b  p  21:41, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:DTTR. --  Alex TW 21:44, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * That's not policy, tho. It doesn't justify removing another editor's comments, and it certainly doesn't justify throwing around a policy meant for trolls and vandals.  I believe you edit was inappropriate.   I have replaced the template with a non-template warning.  I would urge you to read the warning.  It explains why I believe Drmargi exerts ownership of the article.  p  b  p  21:48, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * You actually started a discussion, instead of templating an experienced editor. Good job! --  Alex TW 07:19, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Alex, thanks for the helping hand this morning, and I'm sorry you have to be subjected to the blowback from it. You are more than welcome to remove any content from my talk page you feel is inappropriate. -- -- Dr. Margi  ✉  09:14, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I think both of you are ABFing toward me too much. I think to say it's inappropriate to template someone is a bit much (remember that Do template the regulars is as much policy as Don't Template the Regulars is).  It's definitely inappropriate to call legit concerns about article ownership a "tantrum", as Drmargi did on her page.   I also think that discussions can legitimately be started with warning templates, and to sarcastically say that they can't is overreach.   p  b  p  17:50, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Your opinion has been noted. Cheers. --  Alex TW 02:25, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

"Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Westworld (TV series). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards. If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents."

I am not making "unconstructive" edits, I am eliminating incorrect information. The character of Bernard is NOT a host.

 * Firstly, you have been reverted by three separate editors. You are not in the position to be declaring that other editors do anything, or to reinstate the content.

I have watched it completely and, seeing as he doesn't interact with guests and works behind the scenes, he is not a "host". Being a free and open encyclopedia, I have much a right to correct misinformation as anyone else.

For The American Gods TV Show Executive Producer Section. (I know it's pointless. lol)
The reason I changed some of the executive producer part of the page is because, Thom Beers is not an executive producer on the show, Adam Kane (episodes 3-8) and David Slade has been credited as executive producers of the show, look at the opening credits and the IMDB page. But I should've left the note saying that I changed some of the part.....sorry about that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MathenGan (talk • contribs) 02:54, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Comment on content, not on the contributor
Comments such as the end of this one or this edit summary seem needlessly inflammatory. If you believe there are issues of editor conduct that need to be addressed, surely you know of better venues to deal with them than the middle of an RfC about content. Huon (talk) 20:26, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 reversion
While I recognize that I made a small edit, it was correct. "Led" is the past tense of the verb "to lead." "Lead", pronounced the same way, is a metallic element. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.47.105.248 (talk) 07:13, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Lead (short-e) is an acceptable past-tense form of lead (long-e). --  Alex TW 07:16, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Are you suggesting, sir, that your decision-making process alone qualifies as "consensus" of any kind on Wikipedia? If so, kindly inform me how many writing guides, dictionaries, and grammar-related sites I am required to track down and quote here until "consensus" on this subject is achieved in your eyes. 50.47.105.248 (talk) 03:05, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * When I say that it "would indicate a consensus of some kind", it means the usage of led over lead. Given how many times it's been used, I'd say that it's a valid usage.

Strike (2017)
Aussie, are you paying any attention to the article for the British/American series Strike? I think the first episode runs in the UK pretty soon. We've got a French IP adding everyone and his cousin to the cast to the article, and a British IP adding whatever and sundry cast from the IMDB article, which is a mess. It won't start on HBO until later this year, and I'm not finding a lot of information about who's main v. recurring v. guest, so I've stripped the cast back down to the three I can source. It needs another set of eyes to keep the garbage out until we can better source the cast, if you've a mind to take a peek. Once it hits HBO, I'm sure a couple of the other regulars will hop to and get it in shape, but for now, what a mess!! -- -- Dr. Margi  ✉  03:56, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I can't say I am following it, but with JKR's name on it, I think I might take a look into it. I've requested page protection to cease the edits by the IPs, and I'll add it to my watchlist to keep an eye on it! --  Alex TW 04:01, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * It's fairly well cleaned up at the moment, so the issue is keeping it that way. The first episode in the UK is August 27.  Looks good, BTW!! -- -- Dr. Margi   ✉  04:14, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll look up the trailer later day and take a look. August 27 is also my big day for the return of Victoria! --  Alex TW 04:18, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, is it? We don't get it until January.  However, we get Poldark on October 1, so I'm ready for that.  The Strike trailer on the BBC website looks interesting.  -- -- Dr. Margi   ✉  06:16, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Some of them (if not all, I haven't checked) are disruptive. For example, see this edit. They removed the episode title, series title, and episode number.
