Alice Lowe and the Horrible Histories article
Hello! And thanks for your interest in the HH article. I gather you're an Alice Lowe fan as well. Unfortunately, trying to spotlight her on the HH page isn't adding "quality" information as you put it. Lowe is a great comic actress who contributed a lot to HH I agree; thing is, it was solely as a supporting player, one of many. She was never given 'Starring' credit, so does not belong under 'Starring:' in the infobox. None of her characters appeared more than once (as did, say, Dominique's Mary Seacole or Lawry's Oliver Cromwell) so they don't get listed in the table. Further, after those performers with recurring roles, the list of supporting players is organized by amount of time served. The overall idea is to impose some objective order on the cast list. Did we start hilighting people based only on whether or not they subjectively 'deserve it', a case could be made for every one of those other performers listed as well, and the net result would be chaos. If you'd like to argue any of this, you're free to do so of course; that's what article talkpages are for. But what I'd suggest as a much better use of your time is that you channel your enthusiasm into expanding Lowe's own Wiki article, which is linked in the HH ditto. That way, you can ensure that she gets the full representation she deserves. Shoebox 2  talk  14:08, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, let's try this one more time: I am not saying that Alice Lowe "doesn't deserve a mention" on the HH page. She was part of the cast, so of course she is mentioned. What you apparently mean by "mention" is "feature", and therein lies the problem. I'm not sure how else to explain this to you, but Lowe was not a featured performer on "Horrible Histories". However much or well she contributed, she was never listed as part of the starring (or even "also starring") cast. In trying to insist otherwise you're adding wrong information, and in removing that I am simply following Wikipedia's rules.
 * As for listing her roles--well, I'd forgotten about her turn as Cliff Whiteley's secretary, and have adjusted the table of supporting players accordingly. Otherwise: however it may appear to you, I'm not the only one making decisions here. The manner in which the cast and their roles are listed was decided upon by consensus. That means that many other people have reviewed the article, and they have determined that as it now stands it is not only correct, but among the very best on Wikipedia. Thus, any changes need to have a much sounder basis than "But, but, Alice Lowe deserves special treatment!"
 * Again, please understand that I'm not trying to suppress you--or Lowe--personally. I wish you all the best as a Wiki editor and fellow HH fan. But neither am I going to undermine an article I've worked very, very hard on simply to accommodate your wishes. Until you've achieved consensus for your additions on the article talkpage, I will continue to revert them. Shoebox 2   talk  04:49, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
