That was my bad.. It said it aired July 27, 2013, so I thought it did haha.. SORRY! I also edited the upcoming series section and put the fall shows in order by date they were airing/alphabetical order on that date, a Midseason section, and a Miniseries 2014 section.

Reverting my changes affecting links to Vince Gilligan
Hi,

I've just found out that you reverted a couple of changes regarding episodes of Breaking Bad where I linked to Vince Gilligan whenever his name was mentioned. I'm now wondering what the reason for this was. His name was linked to his article a couple of times within the appropriate lists already and I just wanted to make sure everything is consistent.

Hello, Davejohnsan. This is Dk113040, with all due respect, sir. You don't understand this. This person's name: "Christopher Zalla" is supposed to be posted on the "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (Season 9) article. But, you still don't get it, though. Listen, what I saw was a related person's name like "Chris Zalla, but still what I saw on the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (Season 10) article was his name posted instead called: "Christopher Zalla" that who directed the episode: "Baggage" on that article, and you might want to change to his original name on that exact article.

Since Grand Theft Auto V isn't exclusive to any particular country (aside from being developed in the States), there's no need for the article to be switched to American English without some form of discussion on it first.

SVU episode: Grief
Oh my gosh! What's your problem? Have you seen this episode before? This episode has particular details, which are supposed to be on wikipedia. For example, wikipedia forgets to mention that Vanessa has Bipolar Disorder. Wikipedia doesn't mention that Vanessa's boss was questioned before Vanessa's death got ruled as suicide. Vanessa's boss initially (implied/told) police that he & Vanessa agreed to consensual-rough sex before Vanessa's death. Wikipedia forgets to mention about consensual-rough sex. Wikipedia forgets to mention that ADA Alex said, "Although Vanessa's corpse shows scratches, Perry will say that It was Consensual-Rough sex."(50.73.61.193 (talk) 00:12, 13 December 2013 (UTC)).
 * It's been a few weeks, but yes I have seen the episode. My problem was that the revisions had poor grammar (including inconsistent past and present tense usage, even though fiction should be written in present tense generally), contractions, and suppositions. I realize that my reaction was a bit strong, but I hope you can understand that sometimes it's more tiring to go through each revision to correct any errors than it is simply to revert them all. Also keep in mind that plot summaries on season lists should only be 150 to 250 words, and the first revision I undid bumped the total to 251, and that's not taking into account all the contractions that would have been separated. Davejohnsan (talk) 00:30, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

We can't just let Synopsis say that Victim's father gets revenge against his daughter's rapist. Apparently, ADA Cabot says that the Law says "Victim's father gets revenge against his daughter's alleged rapist." When detectives ask Victim's boss Perry to come to Interrogation Room, Perry calls his attorney. Perry says, "We enjoyed having sex before she got killed." Detectives must've Implied that Vanessa's body showed Signs of Sexual Trauma. It seems that Perry's implying that It was Rough but Consensual Sex. How's(rough but consensual) even possible? Doesn't sexual trauma automatically mean Rape to Perry's attorney? Why didn't detectives make that Suggestion at beginning of Episode? Why didn't CSU Technician Georgie consider that as Possibility? Why didn't Melinda say(rough but consensual)? I never heard of(Rough but consensual) before this "Idiotic Sad" Episode? I don't have girlfriend. I never had sex. Did you have sex(rough but consensual)? When Ray kept talking to Stabler, why didn't Stabler just send Ray back Home until they get Important Evidence against Perry or else Ray wouldn't have killed Perry(whose guilt hadn't been proven)? After CSU ruled It as Suicide, detectives found out that Vanessa was unstable. Since Vanessa was Unstable, is That why Alex said "Perry will say that It was Rough but Consensual Sex"? Is that Possible for Unstable Person to ask for(Rough but Consensual Sex)? I'm not married. I don't have kids.(76.20.90.53 (talk) 04:55, 20 January 2014 (UTC)).
 * For the record, my issue has nothing to do with the change of wording of the episode's plot description regarding the topic of rough sex vs. forcible rape; my issue with the edits I keep reverting is that whoever is responsible for making them is apparently oblivious to the fact that he/she keeps changing the formal tone of the description to an informal one. The use of ampersands in place of the word "and" as well the use of contractions (e.g. changing "do not" to "don't") contradicts wikipedia's Manual of Style, and I'm sure there are a couple other issues that I can't remember right now. Just to reiterate, I really don't care to debate the topic of this episode, but I will say that on SVU, it's pretty common on episodes involving rape charges for defense attorneys to claim it was "rough but consensual." If you want to read more about rough sex, look up sadomasochism. Davejohnsan (talk) 21:07, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Why can't you let the Synopsis say "daughter's alleged rapist"? If it doesn't say that quote, then it might cause people to assume that the Law says, "After a rape victim commits suicide, it's illegal for cops to arrest Rapist although he's Guilty. It's illegal to blame a Rapist for Victim's suicide." Before I watched this Episode for my 1st time, I read Synopsis & I assumed that they had no choice to let Rapist go. I'm not mad that I forgot most of events. When I watched this episode again, I heard about Unstable & I heard ADA saying, "Suspect will say that it was Rough but Consensual." When I watched it again, I realized that Ray killed Perry whose guilt hadn't been proven." Please just let Synopsis say alleged rapist.(76.20.90.53 (talk) 23:15, 21 January 2014 (UTC)).
 * The "alleged rapist" detail has nothing to do with the issues I've raised here; it's the tone of the plot summary that the other IP editor was changing. Your edit here completely avoids all of them, but there are a couple of redundancies I would like to delete:

Otherwise, thank you your constructive edit. Davejohnsan (talk) 23:30, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 * "A dead waitress is found murdered — either that or remove "dead" to say "A waitress is found murdered."
 * "The victim's death is ruled a suicide because the victim's boss allegedly raped her and allegedly drove her into depression" — this is a redundant repetition of the word "allegedly."

 * Thanks. Looks like he's moved onto something new. Before his block, he kept adding and/or changing season colors, DVD release dates, and production codes, and maybe a couple other things. By themselves, these changes might not have been as disruptive as they were if he had discussed the changes first; instead, he just undid any reverts of his own changes and never said a damn thing. You want my recommendation? Have a firm talk with him about these new edits and remind me why he was blocked in the first place, aside from the sockpuppetry: He wasn't willing to discuss the edits first and was engaging himself in an edit war, practically.

Adding a new director "Alex Chapple" on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (season 15) episode: "Gambler's Fallacy".
Dear Davejohnsan,

Where I got this director name: "Alex Chapple" from was IMDB Movie Database from the TV show: "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" database section from the episode: "Gambler's Fallacy". Is it still all right if I can add the person's name on the main article anyway, but don't get me wrong I got this person's name from IMDB, and it was very easy and simple. Listen, if you don't like the name being on the article yet just revert it, that's all right, or I'll just wait until the episode airs. Is that fine with you?

Infobox television episode
There are some issues with proposed parameters for Infobox television episode. I've left a message at WT:TV about this but unfortunately the templates used in the TV project draw little interest, even though they often cause us grief. Because of this I'm approaching experienced editors directly, with a view to getting some more input. The discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television provides an introduction to the issues. Your attention would be greatly appreciated. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 02:23, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Mind if I ask you off the record why Infobox Rome episode is being treated differently from Infobox Simpsons episode? Or is that an entire separate issue that you don't wish to address? I'll be happy to contribute to the conversation; I'd like a better understanding of why this specific template is being placed under consideration for removal. Davejohnsan (talk) 16:39, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * A certain editor has been on a long-term quest to get rid of all infoboxes that he believes are unnecessary and he has been working through a huge list progressively at TfD. I guess he just got to Rome episode on the list. It's not just episode lists he's nominating. Infobox Primeval creature has been nominated and Infobox Simpsons character and Infobox Simpsons characters were on his list until recently. He tends to nominate inoboxes that he thinks will be easy to get rid of and stays away from infoboxes that might be too hard, like Infobox Simpsons episode. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 18:13, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
