Problematic IP editor
I hate to bring this kind of drama to you, but 1) it's generally about children's films, 2) you seem to have met this IP before, and 3) it's getting a bit frustrating to deal with this myself. Could you add some of the articles regularly edited by  to your watchlist, or maybe just check in on them once in a while?  This is a problematic NZ editor who is generally constructive but mixes in a few bad edits with the good edits.  Not vandalism, just competence issues, really.  Bloating the lead with unsourced, trivial details ; copy-paste copyright infringement from the IMDB ; removing clean-up templates that ask for a citation ; adding huge, over-detailed character lists or plot details, etc.

I realize that these diffs are stale, and I'm not necessarily asking for any kind of admin intervention. Maybe you could just keep an eye out for obvious copyvios and other disruptive edits in kids' films from NZ IP addresses. If you're curious, I've left messages at User talk:125.239.187.196, User talk:118.93.104.100, and I think a few others, too. Maybe you can make more headway with this user. I'm rapidly losing patience, and it's getting too frustrating for me to deal with this. If someone could just reach the IP editor, I'm sure the issues could be resolved. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:59, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I think I recently blocked this IP editor for disruptive editing, specifically for garbage added to Shorts: The Adventures of the Wishing Rock. I think it goes beyond competence, because they keep adding copyrighted summaries, for instance at the articles I'm aware of. If this is a recurring problem for you, you can always start an informal Long-term Abuse file in your userspace, or, you can create one in the main LTA space like Long-term abuse/Thomas.alrasheed. (I have a few informal ones like Marhc Vandal, Indiana Muppets Vandal, etc) This is always helpful for admins, because you can more report more quickly at ANI or wherever without a bunch of hoops, like, "Another incarnation of Christchurch, NZ (ISP: Vodafone) vandal. See Vandal " If you think there are a recurring pattern of articles being polluted, please list them and I will add them. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:13, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Ugh. I'm already tracking too many LTAs.  I even wrote one LTA entry.  But I'll see what I can do.  All I ever wanted to do was write plot summaries for bad direct-to-video horror films.  After a few years of that, someone introduced me to Twinkle, and that was that was pretty much the end of my time as a causal editor.  I still just want to write articles on bad horror films.  All this anti-vandalism work just gets in the way of the fun parts of Wikipedia.  I still have so much work to do on Mad Max: Fury Road, but I get distracted by these IP editors rampaging through my watchlist... NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:44, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Believe me, my friend, I feel your pain. You think I ever wanted to start chasing paid editor sockpuppet vandals at Bollywood cinema articles?! Also, I too wish someone'd told me about Twinkle much sooner. I did shitloads of manual user-warnings back in the day. Dayyyyamn. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:36, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

is going right back to copy-pasting trivia sections from the IMDb, as in and. I haven't yet written a report about this IP editor, but these repeated copyvios may be the impetus that compels me to stop being so lazy. How do you feel about simply blocking the IP editor as he pops up? I don't think he's going to stop copy-pasting IMDb trivia sections, and I'm rapidly losing all patience. If this were a logged-in contributor, after five blatant copyvios (that I know about), I think he'd be indeffed. The most problematic articles so far have been Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale and Horrid Henry: The Movie. 9 (2009 animated film) and Whip It (film) are new favorites. I don't think the disruption has risen to the point of requiring semi-protection yet, but if you could keep an eye on them, it'd be incredibly useful.

Re:Line breaks in the middle of an episode title
Hi, Cyphoidbomb. I've read your message. The line breaks are better than the "width" system, because in this way a space of the episode's table (it's for title, writers, etc.), can easily make measurements in a fast, neat and perfect mode. Luigi1090 (talk) 10:07, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Regarding baby momma
I wanted to use something better sounding but I'm not aware of any other terms having the same meaning which have Wikipedia articles. To say "the mother of his kid" would take up more room, so I did so in the interest of brevity.

I would think that "possibly" actually avoids OR. If I were to outright declare she took her dad's surname, that'd be OR, but given that we're told her dad's name in some news article (allegedly from a Disney source) to explore the possibility she had his last name (useful since we don't seem to be told her mom's) is simply highlighting something obvious.

User:BlackGator changing dates on old tags
Since you commented on my talk page about this user, could you talk to them, since they decided to tag both me and an anonymous IP address, User:86.174.107.27, with edit war templates? That would be three different editors warning him in the past few days, let alone other editors in the past months. This looks to be a signed up account of a User:NinjaRobotPirate/Plot blanker. The last suggestion there was opening up a SPI, which looks to be cumbersome, but if it is something we will have to do, I will start down that road. Any other advice about handling this editor would also be appreciated. Thank you in advance, Aspects (talk) 00:35, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Done. Let me know if you think I should add anything. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:47, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help, but I see there is another IP address in the plot blanker range, User:70.209.53.101, only adding plot or more plot templates to film articles. If I was correct about BlackGator being the same editor, from past experiences, I expect the named account to never be used again. Aspects (talk) 05:27, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello. Just to let you know that I, too, have recently had interactions with BlackGator regarding reverting their 'updating' the dates on old tags and, as Aspect has mentioned, received an WP:EW tag for my efforts. I attempted to explain on BlackGator's talk page that updating was neither helpful or necessary, but they blanked the message. Since then they have continued changing tag dates and reverting attempts to change them back to their original form. Thanks for your time. 86.174.107.27 (talk) 08:52, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

(outdent) Sorry to bug you about this user again, but I could use your advice. I thought this "plot blanker" had three registered accounts and then I realized they are bouncing back and forth at two accounts, User:BlackGator and User:Slivertiger779, mainly just adding plot templates to film articles, but they have now both reverted my reversions of the some of the IP accounts changing the dates of cleanup templates because they are old. I also found one IP account that I think is related User:96.5.241.159 that is currently globally blocked. I have reverted Slivertiger once already on three different articles and do not want to keep going back and forth with them telling me the templates are old. Clearly I think these two accounts and the IP accounts listed at NinjaRobotPirate's page are all related due to their similar edits and edit summaries. I was not sure if it is enough to get a sysop to do something quickly or if we will have to start a WP:SPI. I am hoping for the former with possibly your help because the later looks tedious, but if that is what I have to do I will, but I hope NinjaRobotPirate's page could be a good start. Aspects (talk) 03:38, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi As unsavory as it may be, I think going the SPI route is the best approach. I don't have enough behavioral info to do anything about this right now, and I won't be able to really look at this for another 12-16 hours. If you have enough info, especially that might justify a CheckUser against the two logged-in accounts, you might actually find a faster remedy, as our CUs seem to be working pretty quickly lately.

Dan Castellaneta
I feel you should not of reverted my edit to Dan Castellaneta considering that none of his other listed credits have any sources either, so why revert just mine.Vincelord (talk) 14:20, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi there, unsourced content is not an invitation for more unsourced content. In addition to being unsourced, there are no articles for the titles you submitted, which makes it even more difficult to discern if Castellaneta had a role in these programs. References, after all, might appear in those articles, if they existed. Hope the explanation helps, and please know that it wasn't personal. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:59, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Your opinion would be appreciated
Way back in 1981-82 (33-34 years ago) Bruce Jenner appeared in the series CHiPs. As a result of Caitlyn Jenner's recent "news", editors have been changing links throughout Wikipedia. Personally, I don't see how Bruce Jenner now being Caitlyn Jenner is in any way relevant to an article about a TV program that ended 32 years ago but someone has a different opinion and is insisting that guidelines in the MOS are policy. I'm particularly interested in this edit summary, in which the editor claims that CHiPs is a 1RR page, apparently because it mentions Jenner. I can't see how that is the case and was interested in your opinion as an admin. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 02:17, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'm quite familiar with CHiPs although I don't edit at those articles. Has the LGBT WikiProject been invited to comment yet? The community needs to band together to figure out the appropriate way to handle transgender issues when we're dealing with works in the past. We certainly want to respect a person's gender identity, but we also don't want to re-write history. I don't think it makes sense to credit Caitlin Jenner as a cast member of CHiPs if she was not originally credited that way, which leaves two alternatives: 1) Include a parenthetical that makes it clear Caitlin Jenner was credited as Bruce at the time. 2) Only credit Bruce Jenner, but include the requisite link to his article where users can learn that Jenner is transgender. (No rhyme intended). Any idea how we deal with Olympians who have later identified as trans? Do we credit their names at the time, and clarify later? Though I have some familiarity with the concept, I'm not an expert. I also don't understand the 1RR justification because it was not properly explained. ?? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:42, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the LGBT WikiProject, or at least individuals from it, is/are actually pushing the changes. There was a big discussion at the Village Pump not long ago that was inconclusive, although "preserve historic gender" gained strong support (discussion). There are now two more discussions, one of which is relevant to WP:TV. I've notified the project accordingly. You can see the discussion at the Village Pump here. The problem we have at the moment is editors who are still changing links that don't need to be changed per WP:NOTBROKEN, like this and this. That particular editor has taken to harrassing me on my talk page with bogus templates, likely in response to the edit-warring warning I left on his after he decided to edit-war before discussing. (Given the events of the past week I'm low on tolerance of bad editting right now.) His claim about 1RR seems to based on a non-NPOV misinterpretation of, well, just about everything based on his edits at Talk:CHiPs. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 03:05, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I would like to see the clear justification for 1RR, especially if the interested WikiProjects have yet to broadly contact related WikiProjects to explain the rationale. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:37, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Cast order
I have a question on WP:TVCAST, where it says "new cast members being added to the end of the list". However, I see a number of articles where the recurring cast list is sorted by the number of episodes they appeared in the series or season. (Scream Queens (2015 TV series), American Horror Story: Asylum, Fargo (season 1), Empire (season 2)) For airing series, the list is diligently resorted after every episode. Then, characters that enter early on but, e.g., die, end up at the end. (Re)Sorting by number of episodes seems to be a thing, then? –Dark Cocoa Frosting (talk) 11:25, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not common practice as far as I know to reorder by number of appearances. As you are aware, cast should be ordered per original broadcast credits, with new members being added to the bottom. You might float a query at WT:TV to get more eyes on those articles. Like anything, deviating from the MOS requires a local consensus. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:31, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

GA nominee
Hai, I have nominated the film article Loham for GA-status. Which is currently on "Hold on" time and there are some corrections to be done before it ends.

I invite you to make your contributions to it.--Charles Turing (talk) 08:45, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

I don't think that Daam meets the notability criteria and there are no reputable references
I think that Daam wiki page warrants deletion. Request for reputable references warning box has existed since December 2012. I tried to find any valid references, but none exist. What would you advise? Manoflogan (talk) 10:52, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * - Articles for Deletion is the way to go, but only after you perform due diligence and check for references yourself. Please see WP:BEFORE. At the very least, a Google News and Google Books check. A shame that the creator didn't add any quality refs, since they're probably in Urdu, and we won't be able to find them via Google News. Might also see if there is an Urdu language version of the article, and see what refs are being ;used. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:02, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The external links are broken. I could not find any references. There are no Urdu articles. Only articles referencing "Daam" were articles about actors in Daam. There are no articles about Daam itself. What would you advise?Manoflogan (talk) 01:16, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs
Hi Cyphoidbomb, could I request your assistance on this article page which seems to have a "citation error". I tried but couldn't fix it. Thanks in advance if you can help! Audit Guy (talk) 10:47, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * - Hi there, sometimes the fix for the duplicate reference error is to look for tables that are being transcluded to the article, but in this case, the solution is simpler: Look for the paragraph that contains this text In June 2010, the ACBSP changed its name from Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs to Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs. There are two references that are named "About". () Just rename one of these to something like AboutACBSP or "About ACBSP" (you need quotes if there's a space in your ref name) and that should do it. However, since one of both of the refs are being reused you'll have to check the references against the article text and relabel accordingly. I hope that helps. If not, I'll look into it later. Good luck, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 11:49, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism problem
Hey, Cyphoidbomb. I've got a fairly serious case of ongoing vandalism over at the Amy White article about the Olympic swimmer. I've got an IP and new registered account attempting to re-task the article for shits and giggles about a student of similar name. Appears to be a couple of kids trying to get one of their names on a Wikipedia article. Looks like a short-term lockdown and perhaps a block or two for our SPA vandalism accounts would be appropriate. Can you help? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:11, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, sir. You work fast.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:21, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * - Whacked! IP blocked for 31 hours (so keep an eye out), the account indeffed, page protected. All in all a good job by me. :) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:22, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I use a watch list through one of my alternate accounts to keep an eye on several thousand Olympic athlete articles, and had just logged into it when I saw this mess. I've moved the article to my main account watch list for the time-being so I can keep a better eye on it.  Thanks for your help.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:31, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * At first I thought it was an impostor account created by the vandal, but the edits from 2012 set me straight. :) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:37, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * That and the redirect to my main Dirtalwyer1 account! I try not to edit from my alternates, but sometimes I do accidentally when I'm bouncing back and forth.  I've got three alternate accounts so I can maintain several large watch lists without overwhelming the primary watch list of my main account.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:42, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Episode order
Hello. You recently reverted an edit of mine in which I ordered the episodes of the Oobi series in production order. Your only reason for reverting the edit was, "from where do we derive 'production order'?" The first episodes of the series aired were the first two produced ("Camp Out!" and "Uma Swing!"), according to this article from Viacom. The Noggin app lists every episode in the order aired (and, presumably, in the order produced), as with every series the app includes. I am unable to reference the app, for it is not a webpage (though I have added the Viacom article as a reference to the page). Please keep the page this way, for the episode list had no reason to its order prior to my edit. --Squiddaddy (talk) 19:54, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
 * , thanks for the note. If you want to order them by air date, that would be consistent with most other articles. Do you have air dates? There are no air dates currently in the article, there and no references, and episodes are aired out of production order all the time, so I'm not sure where you're coming up with the contrary assumption that order aired = production order. And does the app say that the eps are ordered per their airing? If not, it seems arbitrary if there's no information to bolster the ordering, like air dates or production codes. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:23, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
 * , thank you for keeping the order on the page. I only have air dates for several episodes ("Camp Out!" and "Uma Swing!" here and "New Friend!" here). The app orders episodes of all shows with confirmed airdates in the order aired (for example, "Blue's Clues," "Franklin," and "The Backyardigans"). Considering that "Camp Out!" and "Uma Swing!" (which are confirmed to be the first season two episodes aired) are listed first on the app, and that "New Friend!" is placed where it would be if listed in order aired, the app uses order aired. That is the order used on the page. I must have meant to say "order aired," not "production order" (as the order in which episodes are produced is much different from the order in which they are aired on television) in my edit summary, though I am surprised that I made such a mistake. I will add air dates (only for episodes with confirmed air dates, which is very few) if you think that is best. Cheers, Squiddaddy (talk) 20:44, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
 * That seems reasonable. I suppose even though it's not a great reference, we should probably attribute the app somehow. Maybe with a regular "cite web" template, with "Noggin App for iPhone" (or whatever) in the work parameter? It's not ideal, and it may not last, but it will at least look like someone was trying to do good. :) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:51, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Season 4)-related
Cyphoidbomb, I was wondering if you are looking forward to the upcoming fourth season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which is debuting this Saturday. We already know that Armaggon, the Salamandrians, Lord Dregg, and Wyrm are going to be making their debut. While the original Armaggon and Wyrm were mutants in the comics, these version are aliens with this show's version of Mona Lisa being a Salamandrian like Newtralizer. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:25, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lucas Perny
Just a note if you relist articles - you do have to move them to the day listing for the new AfD. At the moment this one is still on the list for 16 October so will keep coming up as overdue. I'll fix it in a moment. Black Kite (talk) 09:04, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Jeez, I never heard about Perny before, but from the debate it seems that he's some sort of Slovak Justin Bieber, with some people loving him and twice as many people hating him no matter what he does. I pinged User:KuboF to join the fun as we could really use some input by Slovakian Wikimedians in good standing, I already did what I could (being a Pole who barely speaks Slovak).
 * IMHO the guy is notable after all, it's weak notability, but still. At least he's notable enough for Czech Wikipedia (the article was deleted on sk.wikipedia though), their press and their music portals (hudba.sk), but I have no idea whether the portals used in the article are notable enough to be used as refs. SME and the Slovak Press Agency seem safe to me though (one of the largest newspapers, definitely not a tabloid, and a portal co-founded by their ministry of education and the state-owned news agency). In any way, the article needs plenty of love from some hardened Wikipedian, as manoeuvring between haters and lovers is really hard, it's a minefield to me.  // Halibutt 14:37, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

List of The Backyardigans episodes (October 2015)
Cyphoidbomb,

After all nine of my revisions were reverted by you altogether, typos and errors were once again added. I will remove those once more, but before I remove them again, regarding your latest revision, because voice portrayers aren't allowed, should I remove the notes about the debut of a new voice actors as well?

 * I don't think there's anything wrong with the source, but I thought we usually only listed the US air dates (at least that's how it's been handled in the past in that article). Correct me if I'm wrong though. I was actually going to leave the date this time since he seems so intent on adding it. What I'm more concerned about at this point is his angry messages on my talk page threatening to report me (looking through his contribs, I'm not the only one he's done this to). What do you propose we do? Isabelle  ♥  00:56, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

I hadn't noticed that it was the Canadian air date. I've added a clarification to the date in the table and I've again admonished the editor for failing to discuss and for not clarifying what the data represented. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:26, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding the clarification to the article. Just to avoid future issues like this, do you think that the Canada date should be left there when the special airs in the US?


 * Anyways, I think I'm going to stay away from editing the Scooby-Doo article for a while just to stop the animosity, since he seems to be getting overly worked up about nothing. I'll let you know if the punitive messages on my talk page continue. Thanks so much again for all your help, I really appreciate it! Isabelle  ♥  01:36, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Generally speaking, in an episode list, for instance, we might note if the episode airs in another nation before it airs in its home nation. It's not mandatory, but it is occasionally done.

Asia's Songbird
Hi There, thanks for your message and for educating me on why you made such edit in the article. Just some points though. You are saying that "communicating with the editor is a requirement" and that "editing without providing a sound explanation is not helpful". But let me just point out that when you first edited the article (and removed "Asia's Songbird"), you also did not communicate with me (well) and did not provide a sound explanation. You simply just put "Geez" in the comments section, hence I reverted it right away. Had you explained the reason instantly, I would not have reverted it. At any rate, this is already water under the bridge. Thanks again for the education and have a nice day!Tian 100189 (talk) 22:55, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

You didn't even address...
Well, as for your reversion re: date range of when Cubix started showing up on FoxBox/4K!DS TV, you didn't even address whether or not I was wrong on if it actually showed up there in 2001 vs. when it was made, or where it might've shown up in 2001 if it was not on the FoxBox already. So how about that? Do you know that detail, and if so, then why don't you post it with a reliable source? If we don't know for sure or have a reliable source, then I get that we can't just leave what I put in there. I just wanted to get people's wheels turning on looking for that detail and leaving/reposting/citing it if accurate.

So... what's your reply to that?

Also, while I expect you to do the reversion that you think is necessary, could you please at least only do it to the date rather than going down to the version of the page that doesn't have IP 50...'s and my WP:DATERANGE-based spacing corrections?

 * - you didn't even address whether or not I was wrong This is a rookie-level burden shift. It's not my job to disprove you, it's (reiterating what I've already said on your talk page) your burden to source the content you add. I don't care if you're wrong or not, or if I'm right or not. What I care about is whether the content can be reliably sourced, because that's the only thing that establishes the article's reliability. If you edited an article and said, "XYZ show aired January 14, 2005", you might be confident because that was your birthday, and you remember that day very well, and you and your friends all watched the episode, and it was the best day of your life! That's a really sweet memory, but it has no value at Wikipedia. We can't go into a library and check out your memories. We need reliable sources, not memories. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:31, 30 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I was just asking you guys if you would please tell me if I was wrong or not, and then if you had the information of when that show first showed up on that channel (not just when it was made), that you would please post it. If you don't have that information, that doesn't mean that I was going to revert your reversion because I insist that I'm right. (I'm not insisting that.) Maybe that show aired on a different programming service than FoxBox before. So in fact when I reverted your reversion I was not still contesting that, but just that one person and I have noticed that the spacing around dashes was incorrect so he/she fixed them. So if you have a beef with the date that I used, then only revert that rather than all those other fixes that were made.

Re: Quantico (TV series) split

Rounding down on milestone figures
Hi, I just wanted to clarify that I've been recommending that milestone figures in infoboxes such as albums sold, youtube views/subscribers and box offices should be rounded down as they technically have not crossed the milestone. In prose it can perhaps be rounded up if reworded with appropriate description (e.g. close to a million, almost a million). AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 12:21, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It took me a while to figure out that you were talking about this. Totally forgot. I don't understand your phrasing "round down to nearest .01 billion". Rounding is rounding. We round down when we need to, and we round up when we need to. I don't know why we're inventing new rules to how that is done. If the number is 4,996,600,000 or 4.9966 and the accuracy we care about is 0.01 billion, our value becomes 5 billion. It's no different if we were were rounding 4,996 to the nearest ten. How would you prefer someone to round the above number? 4.99 billion? May I ask upon what guideline you've based this phrasing? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:24, 31 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes 4.99 million, but only for milestone numbers where crossing that milestone actually has significance. If they didn't meet the milestone number, they didn't meet it. I suppose with youtube numbers and box office, it won't really matter match since those continue to increase daily. In that case it's better not to round or update the number until it crosses. Let me see what I can do about the Joseph Garrett one, which is where it's disputed. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 21:35, 31 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Again, what's the guideline that would support this? MOS:LARGENUM doesn't seem to say anything about that. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:42, 31 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Actually MOS:LARGENUM supports both cases. In most situations rounding up should be fine. The milestone case is mentioned there too with the population 9,996 (short of 10,000). That's all I'm proposing. For Youtube it's just a matter of waiting until the milestone has actually crossed before updating the figure. On other numbers, round them as usual. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 02:34, 1 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I am sorry for butting in, but Cyphoidbomb's talk page is still on my watchlist from an earlier case. I recall a similar case for film grosses. Say for instance a film grosses $965.7 million you can perhaps round that up to $966 million, since the extra decimal place is not relevant. However, if a film grosses $999.7 million it would perhaps be inappropriate to round the gross to $1 billion since this is a significant milestone. Films are often feted if they gross this much, and I think this is the crux of what Angus is saying i.e. Wikipedia must not misrepresent that certain milestones have been crossed when they have not. Where I disagree with him is that we should round down: this is mathematically inappropriate and not consistent with MOS:LARGENUM. In this case you should probably just not round and leave the figure as $999.7 million (i.e. an appropriate level of precision to capture the nuance of the figure) . LARGENUM states that the "number of decimal places should be consistent within a list or context", and in this case the extra precision is justified by the proximity to the milestone. If the figures are part of a list this does complicate things slightly, but I believe the correct approach in this case would be to add redundant precision to the entire set even if just a single figure requires it. Betty Logan (talk) 03:10, 1 November 2015 (UTC)


 * - I'm always happy for a Betty Logan butting-in session. :) I hold your opinions in high regard. I also hold Angus's opinions in high regard. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:22, 1 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with 's proposal. I'm not sure if it needs to be expounded upon on the MOS? AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 18:44, 2 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Why didn't i think of this before? Round up as normal, but add a footnote if it technically falls short of the milestone. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:54, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Re: Sofia the First
"Minimus is Missing" is the second episode of the 3rd season, not the finale of the second. The most effective source is the airdate. It can't possibly be the finale of season 2 if it was aired after the season 3 Premiere. That, and Disney Wiki lists it as the second episode of season 3. SkyGuy1994 (talk) 18:38, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The place to discuss this is not on my talk page, it's on the article's talk page. You're going to have to bring something more compelling than what the Disney Wiki says, since no Wiki is considered a reliable source because it's user-contributed. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:38, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

 * All changes are preserved in the article's history, so there is no "destruction". When you edit, you should preemptively show that the awards are notable, and the safest way for that to happen is to include references and include links to the award's articles. If there is no article, it's likely not notable. Also, you shouldn't be using rowspans, because of accessibility issues. So there were a few problems. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:30, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Loham
Hello, Cyphoidbomb -- I was looking at your recent edits to Loham, and I wondered why you twice added a comma before a verb phrase after a conjunction. If the subject is the same, there is no need for a comma after the first verb phrase unless the first verb phrase is unusually long. Commas represent where a native speaker is likely to pause, and most native speakers would not pause before the second verb phrase. I'm beginning to think this is a British English/American English punctuation issue since I see the comma so often. Corinne (talk) 20:12, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, I appreciate the note since you pointed out a mistake that I didn't mean to make! I erroneously reverted both of that IP user's edits, when I'd only intended to instead of this one where in moving an apostrophe, he changed the meaning of the sentence to suggest that only Mohanlal was praised. Now maybe that's what the user meant, but that also created the weird phrase "actor's performances", which we'd never say about a single movie. "His performances in Top Gun were great!" Anyhow, I'm rambling. Thanks for the note and sorry for the confusion. Also, I'm no grammarian, so please correct my article work as necessary. :) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:32, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Adding references is how we ensure that content is correct. Without references, there is no presumption of accuracy. Please be sure to read the entirety of the infobox instructions. It looks to me that one relevant guideline for inclusion is "Other acts with which this act has collaborated on multiple occasions, or on an album, or toured with as a single collaboration act playing together". If you can demonstrate with references that Tech N9ne collaborated with Eminem in one of the ways mentioned in the infobox instructions, then please open a discussion on the article's talk page, state your case, add references, and invite the other editor to comment. It's fairly simple. Wikipedia has no deadline, so there's no need for combat over this information. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 13:17, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Look, what difference does it make? I do things differently than you and everyone else. And before I edit an article, I check the history tab to see if there's no vandalism. Did YOU do that??

 * You're making a big deal about something that is not a big deal, and that could have been easily prevented by communicating well. I didn't accuse you of vandalism, I reverted your edit because it was not clear what you were doing. Since you came to my page with your "Why on God's green earth" dramatics, I explained myself and pointed out how you could avoid these problems in the future. I suggest you drop the stick.

Thank You
I really appreciate all the clean-ups and maintenance you did. I have one question though, i know i created the article For Adults Only and now the maker has decided to shelve that film completely. There was a major discussion about deleting the article too. Is it possible to delete the article completely instead of merging it? If you help me here, i assure you this will be a huge favor and henceforth i will be more careful in writing up any articles. Kittura (talk) 07:24, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * There's no reason to delete it. While the community decided that it wasn't worth a unique article, the contributions, including your own, should be preserved. That's an important part of our copyright process, and that's why I properly merged the content to the Saif article. Now, there may be a valid reason to remove the content from the Saif article, (as I've noted on the talk page, I personally suspect the entire thing was a publicity stunt) but any decision to remove should be the result of a well thought-out discussion, and the entire history of the topic should be preserved through the original article and the merged content. Hope that helps. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:17, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Sarah & Duck Series 2 episodes
I am here writing regarding my additions to the Sarah & Duck episode list.

I apologize for not providing enough reference, but concrete proof of the remaining episodes is scare because they have not aired in the UK yet. I tried my best to complete the Series 2 list of episodes, but I noticed that my edits were undone. Exactly how much reference do I need? I went through the effort of locating the last six episodes of series 2 on zap2it, and did my best to cite the episodes. (Citation could have been better but it was there). And the list remained complete for some time, but today when I added the US airdates, was that somehow the last straw? I can understand since I did not cite the airdates (although they can be seen on zap2it).

The source that gave me the US airdates, was my cable's DVR. I looked through every recording of Sarah & Duck between now and August (my DVR is set to automatically record all Sarah & Duck episodes that air), and pinpointed when the remaining series 2 episodes first aired, and put that into the wikipedia list. Admittedly, it is difficult to cite my DVR, but like I said zap2it also had matching airdates (albeit, it has the incorrect airdate for Duck Flies). I just wonder, was that simply not "reference" enough? If not, then how could I provide better references? Because I know for a fact these episodes are real, and would like to complete the list.

Not that it would do much good, but I photographed all the remaining series 2 episodes to prove they exist, and then uploaded those to an imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/7HZM3 Obviously it's no citation, but it proves the episodes are real.

Release dates are a harder thing to cite, but believe me I looked through my DVR, and have the correct US airdates. If simply saying so is not enough (which of course it's not but I can't do much else), then I can show a brief video of showing my DVR, and the series 2 episodes, and their original airdate. It won't be much but it'll be something. As I said, zap2it has most of the airdates. Unfortunately, I could not use zap2it to cite all the episodes because I used after too much time had passed after the episodes aired. I wish I had a better way to cite my information, but again, information is scare because the episodes are not yet released in the UK. Sprout's airings are so far the only way to view the episodes. Nowhere are the episodes mentioned on Sprout's website, Cbeebies's international website, nor are the episodes on BBC's iPlayer service.

To conclude, I simply ask that my latest revision be allowed to be the current page. I saw nothing with my latest revision. Again, I looked through every airing of Sarah & Duck on Sprout between now and August to figure out the airdates, and even used zap2it to cite (which is used for many shows with upcoming episodes). So exactly how much reference do you want? Anything you have in mind, I'd be willing to hunt for. Because I do want to complete the episode list and have proper airdates.

Update: Here's a nice complete episode guide: http://www.fernsehserien.de/sarah-and-duck/episodenguide

My edit
The edit I made regarding the origin of kammas was in wikipedia up till two years ago and apart from that I have a masters in history with distinction,my analysis was from majority ydna(was also in wikipedia) of the kammas which is related to jaunpuri kshatriyas,Kurdish kurmanji and so on,I think you are trying to blur the true facts in the name of neutrality,diamond and dust are not considered the same my friend,so wake up as truth will prevail. Kammawarrior (talk) 19:45, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Your write up was 1) entirely unsourced, contravening our policy on original research 2) contained significant grammatical flaws in spite of your masters in history with distinction, 3) almost certainly doesn't belong in the classification parameter of the infobox, and 4) contains one of the most ridiculously opinionated statements I've ever come across in an article like this: their warrior lineage is evidenced by their ferocity and loyalty and their skill in every profession they undertake I find it unfathomable to think that a respectable university taught you that it was appropriate to submit a biased POV editorial to an encyclopedia. If I'm wrong, you should strongly consider getting a refund on that diploma. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:27, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Further trims to Johnny Depp film
The plot section for the new Johnny Depp has been trimmed down to 4 paragraphs. Possibly you could see if the page is now close to being a "B" or a "C" class article and mark it on the Talk page there (no-one has done the assessment there yet). If you would like further trims to the plot section there then just indicate which parts to do here or by message and I can try to do it. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 19:56, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

I find it better to keep things on the down-low to delay their jump to another account.

BeyWarriors Cyborg
STOP reverting my edits. I already posted proof of airdates which are here: http://www.toonamiasia.com/schedule/index.php

Episodes air at 9:45am on both Saturdays AND Sundays!!!

Here is the English trailer from Toonami Asia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci5Qb8uweE4 — Preceding unsigned comment added by DranzerX13 (talk • contribs)


 * The Toonamiasia.com reference doesn't appear anywhere in the article, does it? It doesn't appear in this edit, it doesn't appear in these edits, it doesn't appear in these edits or this edit. So you're in no position to be making demands of other editors. If you submit content that isn't adequately sourced, and none of those air dates are adequately sourced, your contributions will be reverted. Further, all content must be verifiable. This reference is of no long-term benefit to the encyclopedia, because it only contains data for one week at a time. Next week the reference will be useless for content that aired last week, which means that it is not a suitable source for verification. Archived versions of that page might be useful if you can find them, or better yet, find reliable published sources like a television guide. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:06, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Re N0n3up comments
I ain't Mother Theresa but I don't think those comments on his block were helpful. Juan Riley (talk) 23:08, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Your opinion is noted, but my choices were to decline his unblock request and make statements similar to the comments I left as the rationale for declining the unblock, or to point out his recent history of edit-warring and ask him to explain himself so that I, or another admin could make a more educated decision. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:16, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Since I am under a warning (I think) I would respectfully suggest (yeah sarcasm intended) you to just say "request denied" and in a dry and legalistic way say why. N0n3up is a valuable WP editor. Losing him would be a problem. Now his not being around to give me headaches is another thing. Juan Riley (talk) 23:29, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Not sure I deserve the sarcasm as I don't think there was anything out of the ordinary about my response. I'd rather voice my concerns and let him respond rather than coldly deny his unblock request as you've suggested, which I think would be more disheartening. There's no necessity for him to be blocked for the entire month provided that he answers thoughtfully. Blocks aren't intended to be punitive, they're intended to protect the article from disruption. If an editor demonstrates a persistent inability to avoid edit-warring, that does necessitate longer blocks. If you have strong feelings about this, i.e. you think that you and N0n can work things out, you might consider speaking on his behalf at his talk page. Obviously though, the two of you need to figure out a better way to engage since the community is intolerant about edit-warring. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:54, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Now that is language I can agree with. What you put on his page was far more (in my opinion) judgmental and brusk (?). Juan Riley (talk) 23:58, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Sometimes it is the unsavory job of an admin to be judgmental and brusque, particularly we're dealing with matters of behavior. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Understood. And thank you for the spelling correction. Juan Riley (talk) 00:17, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Just a comment - N0n3up is a highly disruptive editor when he gets a bee in his bonnet and he does not seem to respond to patient explanations.
