Jordan Calloway
Based on an edit you made yesterday, you should probably take a look at Jordan Calloway... Did you say the article was previously deleted by WP:AfD?... Ah, yes, here it is – Articles for deletion/Jordan Calloway. Based on that, should it be WP:G4ed, WP:AfDed again, or simply left alone? I don't find the quality of sourcing at the current article to be sufficient for a "Keep" here, IMO. Pinging as well... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:44, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not exactly sure how much things have changed since the last AfD early last year, but I'm inclined to agree with there still being insufficient coverage to establish his notability as noted in that AfD (just mere mentions in various recent articles about Black Lightning and Beyond). The sourcing in the article doesn't do anything to establish notability either. WP:ENT indicates that an actor should have multiple main/significant roles, and the only one considered significant is with Unfabulous. I'm not sure about the movies themselves (with two of them apparently without articles). Definitely a candidate for deletion in any case, but I'm split between speedy (G4) and another AfD (with his new role in Black Lightning, though as recurring doesn't look too significant a role either). From the log, I'm surprised there was an eleven-year span where an article about him existed in Wikipedia, and if his notability was questioned last year, I don't know why it wasn't at least a few years earlier (going by the lack of significant roles in TV/film). MPFitz1968 (talk) 17:14, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Lots more stuff in the article now, including better references, than in the original article that was AfDd. Likely a G4 would be rejected now because of that. He looks to have multiple significant roles but no real significant coverage in multiple independent sources. AfD now has a reasonable chance of being a keep. Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:16, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It still fails WP:NACTOR, in my estimation: still just one "main" role – "recurring roles" don't count is "significant" in all by exceptional cases. Currently, I'm enjoying keeping a lower profile on Wikipedia, so I doubt I'll take it to WP:AfD myself – but if it's taken there by someone else, I'll be a "delete" vote as things stand currently... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:41, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I thought I saw some starring movie roles in minor stuff that could be argued either way. I'll probably pass on commenting on an AfD if one is started. I'm also trying to keep a low profile, don't need the stress. I get sucked in occasionally and I don't really enjoy it. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:09, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

and MPFitz1968: I could use more eyes on this article now – the article creator is obviously a new editor that doesn't know their way around articles and WP:BLPs... Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:44, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Found myself taking out the Personal Life section, as the two sentences there failed verification of the one source present in the section. After I removed it, I discovered the info about his parents was directly taken from IMDb, so not a reliable source. I could've alternatively restored the content with the Better source needed tag, but with this being a BLP, I'm erring on the side of that policy. MPFitz1968 (talk) 06:34, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Girl Meets World: The Sequel
I don't necessarily have a problem with this edit, but I'm wondering if it's perhaps some unnecessary detail. The only things I see "wrong" with it are the unnecessary linking of common words ("average...") and the addition of Riley's last name, which I don't see as necessary there. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 20:45, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I had thought of removing the phrase "teen girl", which at the start of the series, technically, she wasn't (she was 12). And I'll agree the link in that area is not really necessary, nor where it directs to. As for the rest of the edit, kind of a toss-up, but wouldn't that be better served in the plot/premise? MPFitz1968 (talk) 00:11, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * According to WP:TVLEAD: The lead paragraphs of an article should serve both as a quick introduction to the topic, and as a concise overview of the article itself, as per the Lead section style guideline. For example, an article on a television series should begin with basic information about the show, such as when it first premiered, genre(s) and setting, who created/developed the show, its primary broadcasting station (typically the studio that produces the show), and when the show stopped airing (the first airing of the final episode), etc. ... Subsequent paragraph(s) should summarize the major points of the rest of the article: basic production information (e.g. where the show is filmed), principal cast of the show, critical reception, influences, place in popular culture, major awards, and anything else that made the show unique. The appropriate length of the lead section depends on the total length of the article. It could be argued that the second paragraph in its entirety shouldn't be there, but similar to Liv and Maddie, per discussion on that talk page and ideas by, a second paragraph doesn't hurt, so long as it's brief. However, I can definitely agree that the part about "troubled" and all that, if that's what you're referring to, is likely better in the "Plot" section. Also, this doesn't apply here, but figured I'd just throw it out there. One important thing to note is that while WP:TVLEAD states that principal (main) cast should be included, you've got to be careful when you have a show with, say, 10+ main cast members, such as Backstage, hence the changes IJBall made. The reasoning being that there's a bit of conflict because that section earlier states that the lead should be quick and concise introduction and overview. See this discussion for some more information on the matter, should you be interested. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 00:27, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I guess that solves that. Thanks,, for the WP:3O. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 16:53, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, thanks! Interesting to read both of your reasoning. I agree with mentioning Maya as having a 'troubled home life' is going into too much detail for the lead. The main reason the edit in question caught my attention is because of the "Average/Everyman" link. Besides it being a common term, the series also repeatedly shows how Riley is a lot different from other teenagers her age and how her friends shelter her from the real world (i.e. "The Riley Committee" from Sassy Haltertop/Real World). The "average everyday" explanation doesn't seem necessary in the lead, or for that matter representative of Riley's quirky personality/identity. Not sure if my reasoning changes your opinion on my revert or not. Cheers, Katniss   May the odds be ever in your favor ♥  22:00, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Just to follow-up, JMyrleFuller partially reverted the edit in question. Personally I don't necessarily see any issue with the inclusion of Riley's last name, but the phrase "average young teen girl" seems very repetitive, and in the case of the "average" part, somewhat inaccurate. I left a note on his talk page, so if either of you have anything to add, second opinions would be welcomed. :) Thanks! Katniss   May the odds be ever in your favor ♥  23:15, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Will ping and  regarding this matter. Editors are persistent in marking the show over, when Disney Channel's west feed has yet to air the final episode. MPFitz1968 (talk) 03:13, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I believe it was IJBall who's previously mentioned that we're meant to be more of a historical record, so there is no need to rush this. At the earliest, when it comes to any confirmed series finale, we should be updating it once it has aired for everyone, which in this case is just the East and West Coasts.

Andi Mack
Asking you since you've seen every episode to date, other than today's. I'm still not convinced TJ is recurring. He's appeared in five episodes, but hasn't really been involved in a major story plot per your comment on the talk page, in my opinion. What do you think? Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 01:56, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, the last two episodes (not including tonight's) he was in were part of the story concerning his failing math and how he's dealing with Buffy tutoring him. I think he was more prominent in those episodes than the other two where he was trying to make things hard for Buffy regarding her being on the basketball team. I'm on the fence about adding him to recurring at this point, even when including the fifth appearance for tonight's episode. Not sure whether my checking that episode tomorrow will swing my opinion about that, though, but the preview from the end of "Miniature Gulf" kind of suggested some turning point concerning Buffy's dealing with TJ's attitude (e.g., his not "passing the ball" to her, even when it was part of the deal of Buffy tutoring him in math). The IP making the edit on the article was also making mention of the preview for next week's episode also showing TJ. That could definitely be the time to add him to recurring if he's in that one as well, if we don't add him this week. MPFitz1968 (talk) 03:09, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Does Copyright Office have anything for K.C. Undercover and Stuck in the Middle? Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 19:07, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks like they have the season two codes for Stuck in the Middle missing from the LoE; there are no season three codes at this time. They have early season three codes for K.C. Undercover (301-308), and from what's in the LoE article right now, only one code could be filled in. MPFitz1968 (talk) 19:25, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Andi Mack - "Cyrus' Bash-Mitzvah!"
Once you get around to watching this and writing the summary, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the episode. I thought it was very nicely done, but I won't spoil anything! Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 05:38, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Didn't ignore this topic, but I wasn't able to get around to replying until now. (Watching plenty of shows right now, either streaming or thru DVDs.) Definitely a good episode, with some compelling cliffhangers for when the episodes resume (sometime this summer, from what I was reading in a source used to back the show's renewal for a third season). Actually surprised me that it was a double-length episode ... or one-hour episode when considering commercials, but since I don't have to worry about commercials when I watch it on Amazon, I'll just call it "double-length". I didn't consult the TV listing ahead of time, nor any promos - feels a little different post-cable TV. (Yeah, Amazon does provide the play time, but somehow I just pushed the play button without even looking at it.) Anyway, Buffy certainly had a hard time dealing with what that fortune teller was telling her, and the preview into the next episode indicates that she is moving (which Andi and Cyrus had deduced after the fortune teller reminded Buffy about the whole message of her fortune), but it looks like Andi will find some way to allow Buffy to stay. I wonder how that'll turn out. Same with Andi's response to Jonah's decision to throw out his "no labels" philosophy and ask Andi to be his girlfriend. There's definitely ... um ... been a bunch of "um"s floating around when it comes to these crucial questions - Bex saying "um" to Bowie's marriage proposal at the start of the season, which ended up being a "no" (at least for now). Jonah's panic attack was definitely a huge revelation, and it's sounding as if he may not make it without Andi, but understandably he doesn't want her (or Buffy or Cyrus) to know about that. My thought is they may eventually know, especially with how Andi is feeling about Jonah at this point. I don't really know if Jonah will suffer another panic attack if Andi turns him down, but he may have to come clean about it, at least to her. MPFitz1968 (talk) 10:10, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Spy (Kira Kosarin song)
MP, could you take a look at this article, and advise whether it meets WP:NSONG or not (as I suspect)? If not, one of us should WP:PROD it... Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:44, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd say it doesn't meet the NSONG criteria at this time, in particular the first. There is no ranking of the song on the Billboard charts, including the Hot 100 ... and given its YouTube views right now (which figures into the streaming component for the Hot 100 and other charts), its chances appear very low to make the Hot 100 at all. I'm doubting there's much, if any, independent coverage about the song - seems like a lot of sourcing to Kosarin's Twitter in the article. MPFitz1968 (talk) 21:16, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll probably give this until this weekend, but if things haven't changed by then (and I don't expect them to), I'll WP:PROD it. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:18, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

About Candace Cameron Bure awards section
I do not post fake information on Wikipedia page, if I did put there I know it's true. A lot of informations about her are without sources. You should delete it all. I don't know where to find sources, but I remember when she talked about it on social media. So... =/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.38.112.204 (talk) 19:20, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Read WP:NOTTRUTH. Even if you believe something to be true, the content in Wikipedia must be verifiable thru reliable sources. Your use of IMDb to back your additions (as stated in edit summaries and links to there) raises a flag right away, as IMDb is not a reliable source - it is updated by users (see WP:RS/IMDB). And note, sources are not restricted to the Internet; there may be stuff about her from many years ago that is published in magazines or newspapers. MPFitz1968 (talk) 19:37, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber
I'm assuming you have both of these on your watchlist? Could you please keep a closer eye on them? Anytime an IP does the 'rowspan' bullshit that removes WP:ACCESS-compliance, they need to be reverted immediately. This is like the second or third time now I've had restore ACCESS-compliant Awards tables at these two articles in the last 6 months... Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:13, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll help out as well. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 23:45, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. I'm definitely concerned about that latest IP (or more specifically, IP range 177.38.112.0/24). WP:ACCESS compliance issues aren't the only thing that they are messing around with; seems they are asserting IMDb as official and that any roles/awards/nominations stated in IMDb automatically belong in the Wikipedia articles. They restored this stuff more than once at both articles, so they are clearly disruptive at this point. If this continues, page protection or a range block could be in store (doesn't appear to be collateral damage with this range - only four addresses with essentially the same type of editing at all of them). MPFitz1968 (talk) 23:46, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Somebody else was doing that recently – disruptively editing to use IMDb as a source (in an Awards table, I think). Unfortunately, I can't remember the details. may have been involved that time as well... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:13, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Happy Days
I'm looking for a second opinion here – I think the 'cast table' at Happy Days needs to go (after all of the relevant info has been properly merged into the 'Characters' section), for a number of reasons. What do you think?... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:39, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I was looking at an old version of the article, the last revision dated in 2017, and the series overview table (as part of the Episodes section) was before the Cast section, so there was something there that filled all that blank space that appears in the current version between Cast and that cast table. I'm not thinking there should be a Cast section and a separate Character section, so in that regard I'm for the merging of the content. I'm unsure about the cast table itself, since I don't see a separate LoC article, which would be best for the table. WP:TVCAST appears to be okay with having the table in the parent article in this case, as long as it lists only those who were part of the main cast. But it wouldn't hurt having all of the cast/character content in prose. MPFitz1968 (talk) 23:25, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Andi Mack
I'm trying to think if an RFPP would be appropriate now, because the "let's mention every single place it airs" person is back. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 04:04, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The IP range of 180.190.66.0/23, which has been inserting this repeatedly, geolocates to the Philippines, but the initial IP doing it on February 14 was 180.190.70.61 (also geolocating there). What especially bothers me is their inserting irrelevant points of reference in the prose, specifically how the series premiered "just seven days before the 2017 NBA playoffs" (and their point for adding that being... ?), plus mentions of Stuck in the Middle and the final season of K.C. Undercover airing overseas (huh?). They are certainly persistent in adding that content in their disruption of the article. I'm not sure if an admin will see the need to semiprotect the article with the level of disruption fairly light at any given point in time; perhaps highlighting each of their edits going back to February 14 could swing their decision to do so, or to perhaps look at a range block. Also looking at my first revert of their content, I specifically mentioned the sourced part regarding the show being pulled in South Africa in the revert summary, which may be worth expanding upon assuming the source given is reliable (i.e., why the show is being banned in some countries). Will ping and  about that part. MPFitz1968 (talk) 05:45, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * That latest IP also made a disruptive edit at Jenna Ortega that I recall from a while back . MPFitz1968 (talk) 05:53, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

List of Andi Mack episodes
Other than the changes I made to the name order you used to match the credit order, I've restored the summaries you wrote for S1 to their original form. Conventions—grammar, punctuation, etc.—like with anything else, aren't just a fixed thing. They can be flexible, and over the last few years, I've been learning that and trying to get out of this tunnel vision thinking. I consider myself to be a comma freak, so that's another reason I added those commas. I've actually been told I overuse commas. You obviously know that if you can take a name or word out and the sentence still makes sense, use commas. For example: My father, Bowie, is cool. Take out Bowie and it still makes sense. The other one is that I've always understood that you always place a comma before "but"—I went to the store to get milk, but they didn't have any.—unless it's being used in a sentence such as: I'll do anything but that. That's how I've always understood it, but, like I said, conventions are flexible and there's no one "right" way to do things in that regard. Names you of course always capitalize, and there's really only one right way there, but that's not the case with everything. You likely don't even remember that edit, but I'll apologize, anyway, if that made you feel like I was questioning your writing, etc. I wasn't, of course.

Raven's Home episode summaries
I know it's not a series you write summaries for, but are you up to copy-editing already-written summaries, like the latest summary edits by an IP? Including getting rid of pointless parentheticals? Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 18:00, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Definitely looking forward to a challenge LOL. Probably won't get around to it until tonight at the earliest. Perhaps, I'll have access to at least one or two episodes on Watch Disney (even though I cut the cord, though I now have something called Instant TV - but not including Disney Channel - sometimes Disney allows access of some episodes to non-subscribers). MPFitz1968 (talk) 18:22, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Looking at the summaries, there are obvious issues with the parentheticals, but the IP also has some misspelled words and overuse of "however" ("but" usually is a better option, but even that shouldn't be found in every sentence). Both "however" and "but" are found in Wikipedia's words to watch guideline under WP:EDITORIALIZING, and care must be exercised to avoid a non-neutral tone. I plan to copy-edit what is there now rather than do a revert - seems the summaries need some work, judging from the previous versions, especially after seeing some verb tense problems, like with first sentence in the summary for the second episode, "Big Trouble in Little Apartment": After Chelsea and Levi moved in, Nia moved to the couch. MPFitz1968 (talk) 08:14, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Let me ask your advice on something...
MPFitz1968, as you are well aware, WP:ACCESS violations among the suite of Wikipedia music-related articles are near-ubiquitous. Occasionally this gets me to thinking on what is the best approach to fixing this...

Let me give you a random example – David Wilcox (Canadian musician). The 'Singles' table at that article is rife with WP:ACCESS violations. So the question is – what would be the best way to fix this?... There would seem to be two possibilities: 1) move the 'Year' column to the first column position, and eliminate use of 'rowspan' under 'Album'. Or, 2) Move 'Year' and then 'Album' to the first two column positions on the table (or maybe even 'Album' first, then 'Year')...

So, what would you do?... TIA. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:11, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm noticing that the table is arranged chronologically, as is the case with many discographies, with the singles/albums grouped by year (though not 100% sure whether the singles within each year are chronological). It would make more sense to have year first, but as the section is labeled "Singles", the singles would be the most logical choice to be listed leftmost (or as close to it as possible). Having it that way - whether singles is leftmost, or right after the year column - puts albums in a bad position, and using rowspan there would violate WP:ACCESS. From my reasoning, (1) would be more correct, but (2) would work with a different organization of the discography table(s), which could be as simple as relabeling the section "Albums and singles". But I'm seeing one of his albums has singles spanning two different years, which definitely creates problems even if the album column were placed right after year. Tough call here, but option (1) is less likely to cause WP:ACCESS problems. MPFitz1968 (talk) 23:11, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Stuv3 and failure to follow WP:BRD

The first to start the discussion generally has the better claim to making a good-faith attempt at resolving the issue if it ever gets escalated. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:24, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

I think there's enough of a consensus now to change the genre; however, Michael, would care to add anything to the discussion if you have any opinions on the matter? Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 01:33, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Didn't have too much of an opinion about this one, but looking at what is on the talk page right now, Starforce13 certainly explained it where I'd tend to agree, as there are many varieties of comedy. Many of the comedy-type, scripted TV series I've watched growing up ... The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, Three's Company, Diff'rent Strokes, Family Ties, The Cosby Show, Full House, Growing Pains, Seinfeld, Friends, Cheers, etc. ... I've known them to be sitcoms (short for situation comedies). And I wouldn't think differently about the Disney and Nickelodeon shows I've watched more recently. Still, why sources/press releases, from what I've been reading, seem to be avoiding the term (and using the general term "comedy"), I don't know. MPFitz1968 (talk) 02:08, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

President George H.W.Bush
The reason that I included the age of 94 is that no President has ever listed past the age of 93 and that if Bush reaches that age, it will be a first. Both Presidents Reagan and Ford also reached 93, but died at that age. If President Carter, also 93, lives to October 1, 2018, he will also reach 94, but President Bush would reach that age first on June 12, 2018.

It is for the potential first in Presidential history that I included that statement.

 * But how notable is someone turning 94, even if it is a US president? To me, it's plain trivia that doesn't need to be stated in his article. Just like it's trivia when Ronald Reagan became the first president to live to 91, 92, and 93 during the early part of the 2000s. Milestone ages at this stage are 90 or 100 - that would be more notable. MPFitz1968 (talk) 23:36, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Thundermans
The Thundermans final episode was today Rowan iF (talk) 02:21, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Did you read the talk page over there, at Talk:The Thundermans/Archive 1 ... not everyone that has access to Nickelodeon on cable/satellite TV has viewed the finale yet. (Some get only the US west coast feed.) MPFitz1968 (talk) 02:24, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Ugh! What a headache. Can someone please explain to me why, first of all, IPs can't even wait for a finale to actually air in the East Coast first before saying a series has ended and, second of all, IPs have to add the series end date the instant the series finale airs? Because I don't get it. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 03:45, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

(I'm pinging, as well.) We're gonna need to deal with IPs some more as they are changing the number of episodes aired, plus other MOS:TV issues, saying The Thundermans was a American comedy television series created by Jed Spingarn that aired on Nickelodeon, premiering on October 14, 2013, and ended on May 25, 2018. (should not be past tense, of course) (diff). I'm not sure whether to revert, as I'm brushing up against WP:3RR, without any WP:3RRNO exemptions to stand on. (Amaury, I noticed your revert count over the last 24 hours, too, and I certainly don't want either of us to be reported on those grounds.) MPFitz1968 (talk) 14:29, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I have re-requested semiprotection of the article - after you withdrew the request last night, Amaury - in light of recent developments. MPFitz1968 (talk) 14:35, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Andi Mack
Please keep an extra eye on it, if you could. I was debating for a long time on whether or not to revert and decided to do so. Other than that first time, while I've generally been fine with their edits, this last one was problematic. By moving those sources from "Critical" to the lead, it made those statements in the "Critical" section completely unsourced. The lead doesn't need to be sourced if so and so is already mentioned and sourced in the body per WP:CITELEAD; however, it doesn't work in reverse. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 08:41, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:CITELEAD allows for the lead part of the article to have less/no inline citations, so long as the content in the lead is not likely to be challenged. Whether something needs to be cited in the lead outside of that is usually determined by editorial consensus. (I recall not too long ago about needing to put an inline cite to Sabrina Carpenter's birthday back in the lead, due to an editor removing the birthday on unsourced grounds. Someone removed the citation from the lead a few months ago, though they retained the source by putting it in the body of the article where the birthday is also mentioned.) In the case of what Justthefacts9 was doing at Andi Mack, it's a tossup about citing the statement in the lead, but they definitely shouldn't have removed the cites from the same statement (and any further explanation about it) in the body. MPFitz1968 (talk) 09:06, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Another problem is their lack of edit summaries and using the preview function, which clogs up the article history. Things like this could have been avoided had they just explained that the first time. Also, while I don't have any major problems with their latest edits, I dislike sentences starting with "it." I realize it's probably to remove repetition, but it sounds awkward starting a sentence. As I realize that's probably an "I don't like it" argument, I won't do anything about it, though I strongly feel that at least the second paragraph in the lead should begin with "the series" rather than "it" since it is a separate paragraph, just for some clarification like on Raven's Home. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 14:37, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

On an unrelated note, I just noticed we go from #213 to #215–218. We're missing #214, and it's weird considering Andi Mack has to air in order. I'm guessing there's a mess-up somewhere again, like where was last year. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 22:53, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * What crossed my mind when I saw that is remembering the "Cyrus' Bash-Mitzvah!" episode is double-length (since I don't worry about commercial breaks with Amazon, I've started saying that instead of "one hour"). Perhaps 214 is one of the production slots for that, along with 213, but it's just a guess. Don't double-length (and longer) episodes usually take up more than one production slot? MPFitz1968 (talk) 01:59, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Sometimes. It depends on whether the double-length episode was two episodes merged for presentation or was actually designed to be a double-length episode from the get-go. Some Lab Rats episodes, like "Lab Rats: On the Edge," comes to mind. List of Lab Rats episodes. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 02:05, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Andi Mack
Regarding the Premise section, in addition to Plot -> Premise, I took a shot and made some copy-edits, but it probably needs an overall overhaul. The whole thing still doesn't read right and seems to be nothing but sentence fragments, in my opinion. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 04:19, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

I still don't agree with the latest edits regarding linking middle school. Common words shouldn't be linked per WP:OVERLINKING. And I'm not sure how relevant their explanation of it being helpful to non-US readers is. This is the English Wikipedia after all; if people don't understand English, then they would be on the other language versions of Wikipedia, anyway, as they're likely not to understand anything in general. I'll ping as well for thoughts. I don't want to raise a huge fuss about this, but at the same time... pretty much everyone should know what middle school is. Something like bar mitzvah should be linked, yes, but middle school? No. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 20:19, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Middle school means different things to different people in different English speaking countries. It is one of those terms that does not have an obvious well-understood meaning. Which grades it covers even varies between US school districts. Seems like a valid term to link if it goes to some destination that gives info on US schools. I never went to a middle school myself, I did attend a Junior High School though. The first time I encountered the word I had to look it up. Best reason for it I heard is its major goal is to keep kids who are going through puberty from the little kids who haven't started yet, and the big kids who are mostly done with it. Explains why it it the most fraught of the school years - good place for drama. Geraldo Perez (talk) 21:21, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Junior high and middle school mean the same thing, at least here they do. Might be different elsewhere. Also, puberty is certainly an odd reason to separate kids. So one school has pre-puberty kids–typically elementary—one school has kids going through it—typically junior high and also high school from what I read on Puberty regarding ages—and one school has kids finishing it—high school. Seems rather silly. I know here elementary school is grades 1–5, middle school—or junior high—is grades 6–8, and high school is grades 9–12. No idea if it's for similar reasons or not, though.


 * From my own experience with high school, freshmen were 14 and/or 15, sophomores were 15 and/or 16, juniors were 16 and/or 17, and seniors were 17 and/or 18. Just depended on where their birthdays fell, such as turning 15 two weeks into the school year. I was one of those odd cases, being a freshman at 16 and a senior at 20. To keep it as short as possible, my mom pulled me out of fifth grade at one elementary school due to issues with the school. About six months later, I decided I wanted to repeat the fifth grade at a different school for a better experience, which was amazing. So at this point I was one grade "behind," if you will. Mid-way through the seventh grade at the middle school, problems arose again, and I was taken out. This time it wasn't until about two years later that I started feeling like wanting to go back again. I wanted to be placed into tenth grade so I could be in the same grade as the friends I made during the fifth grade repeat and grades 6–7. That didn't happen, but I was placed into ninth grade, skipping eighth grade. At this point, I was two grades "behind" in general and one grade "behind" from my new friends when I went back the first time. High school years were the best years of my life. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 22:37, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I did some research on the differences between Jr High and Middle School a while ago. One of the points that a lot of education academics made was to separate kids with different stages of development from each other and have schools that supported those differences. Jr High was meant to have more of an academic focus, Middle Schools more of a childhood development focus is one of the stated differences for making the change. In reality it comes down to balancing students against schools available and not much more now. Geraldo Perez (talk) 22:49, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

How about linking "family"? Like here. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 13:02, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The article linked to focuses on television series geared toward children specifically, and while the parents may watch these series (Sesame Street and Captain Kangaroo are mentioned), the focus is mainly to entain [sic] children, but they can also be educational to children, while also being entertaining [emphasis mine]. The "educational" part usually involves things like arithmetic and counting, science, geography, reading or grammar. Andi Mack doesn't have that as a premise and is geared toward all members of the family, from the children to teens to the parents. So I don't think the wikilink quite nails the "family" genre. MPFitz1968 (talk) 14:04, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The link was an WP:EGG and had nothing to do with any genre called "family". In fact I have never seen "family" used as a genre so curious where that came from in the article. Usually "family" is a demographic description, basically shows targeted to people of all ages. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:01, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Bizaardvark – "Spring Break Video Spectacular"
I forgot to ask. What did you think of that episode that I recommended for you here? User talk:MPFitz1968/Archive 9. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 15:19, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It was alright, though it has been a while since I saw the episode (but I still have it in my video library at Amazon, and watched it at least twice). What got my attention was that one of the guest stars is one I've actually watched on YouTube - Annie LeBlanc - as part of her family's channel "Bratayley", but she also has her own channel ("acroanna") where the focus was her gymnastics, although I think she quit that recently. Haven't watched the Bratayley channel in a while (they have new videos just about every day), but I did check out the one where they talked about Annie's appearance on Bizaardvark, which I used as verification to connect her to that episode. I noticed you linked her name after the episode had aired, but that was to an article of a completely different person, which I noted in my edit that removed the wikilink .

This user seems to have returned, adding production companies that have been removed before as dubious due to there being no "Productions" at the end. Multiple times in the case of Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn. Without "Productions" or a source confirming so and so company without "Production" in it is a production company, like with Andi Mack's Go Dog Go, then said companies need to be left out.
