Love Island (2015 TV series) series 12
You have changed the name of Love Island (2015 TV series) series 11 and this is incorrect.

Love Island: All Stars was a spin-off series and sources refer to it as much. As you can see here ITVX list it completely separate to the main series and sources refer to All Stars as the "first series", just like I'm a Celebrity... South Africa.

Your reversion to my edits for Gadigal
Hello there

I have tried to engage you in discussion on the Talk page a couple of times but you have not responded and continue to undo my edits while leaving edit summaries which do not explain why you have reverted sourced information. I have removed unsourced information which has nothing to do with the Gadigal and have replaced it with reliably sourced information. I have explained these changed in detail on the Talk page. Rather than simply revert all my changes could you please discuss this on the article talk page and justify your reversions?

Thank you Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 02:23, 5 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I didn't undo your edits, I've just been doing copy-edits of your poor edits as you can see from the edit summaries which I assume you haven't read properly; also you do not WP:OWN the article. You're the user who has been reverting my edits whilst not justifying your reversions, its the norm on Wikipedia to keep status quo when a contentious statement needs to be discussed. Happily888 (talk) 02:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, my apologies. The edit history showed a reversion and your edit summary didn't really explain what my "poor editing" was. I notice that you restored the following sentence: "The 1789 smallpox epidemic was estimated to have killed about 53% of the local Dharug population". The source is diven as Cumston's History of Small Pox in Australia. No page number is given, but I checked the source and it says nothing of the kind. (Apart from the fact that 53% is a pretty precise estimate given that we still have no idea how many Aboriginal people there were in Sydney in 1788.) That's why I changed it to: "The 1789 smallpox epidemic was estimated to have killed about half of the Sydney Aboriginal population". The source for this is the Sydney Barani website cited. Would you please revert back to my version which is properly sourced. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 03:19, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Please note that you have restored an earlier (2002) version of the Barani website. The most recent version here should be used. Also note that the restored version does not contain sources which confirm the statement: " "The 1789 smallpox epidemic was estimated to have killed about 53% of the local Dharug population" Would you please use the latest version of the website and my text which is an accurate summary of the relevant part? Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 05:26, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Help with editing
Hi, I have seen that you have added an entry to the List of solved missing person cases, good job! I could use some help with adding entries as I have a lot of editing and other things to do, If I give you some entries could you please add them for me. I would be very thankful to get some help.

Caught's release date fields
In the television infobox, either the released field or the first aired and last aired fields need to be used. Currently the article is using released and last aired fields, which places it in the maintenance category of Category:Pages using infobox television with nonstandard dates. If the series has been cancelled, which I cannot find information on that, it only needs to use the released field. If the series is ongoing, it needs to use the first aired and last aired fields, even if all of the first season episodes were released the same day. To avoid an edit war, I will leave it up to you which choice is correct. Aspects (talk) 14:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Neither Template:Infobox television nor Template:Infobox television season say to not use the released and last aired fields at the same time. It does however state to not use the first aired field when a series releases all their episodes at the same time. As well as to not use the released and first aired fields at the same time. This seems like a case where either the maintenance category needs to be fixed or a template talk page discussion should occur. Happily888 (talk) 15:09, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Can you please not edit my edits on the voice pages. I did that incase people didn't want to click on each individual wikipedia page to find out who each person looks like. It might sound dumb but I'm just letting you know. TypicallyRyan (talk) 05:46, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
