Please read wp:not wp:crystal and wp:spa. Slatersteven (talk) 15:08, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Also do you have a wp:coi with the production you are trying to add? Slatersteven (talk) 15:08, 29 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi. I understand what you are saying, but the edit I have made is a fact. If it would be better form to post this AFTER the production has happened, that is fine. I was not Promoting the event, just adding it to the list of spin-offs to which it would legitimately belong whether I posted it or not?
 * I am new to posting on here, so if you think what I have posted is unreasonable please let me know as I honestly don't think I've crossed any lines here.
 * Thanks MisterHatted (talk) 15:22, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Well for a start we have wp:rs, to be induced RS have to have commented on it, just existing is not enough. Some (for example) amdram production might well fail wp:undue. Also a lot can happen, so wp:crystal, comes into play, it may not happen. If this ws a film or TV series backed by a major studio it might just pass, but (again) of this is Amdram it might not, as we can't guarantee it will happen. Also see wp:brd if you are reverted you need to get wP:consensus on the article talk page. Slatersteven (talk) 15:29, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Well I can see I'll be buried in abbreviations so I give up. Good way to welcome contributions! Just goes to show Wikipedia is just for the Most Popular not necessarily Most Accurate. Add to that sneering at 'Amdram' and I'm really being made to feel welcome. Major films don't always happen either but I suppose because their popular they get a pass?
 * I listed nothing controversial, inaccurate, defamatory, self-promoting, racist, sexist, etc etc I just posted a fact. Evidently I need to have been here since it started or else posted 4 million other things before even getting a look-in. MisterHatted (talk) 15:40, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * They are links, if you click on them they will explain our policies. And I am not "sneering" at amdram, I am saying that such productions do not generally meet our criteria for inclusion, we can't have everything. Slatersteven (talk) 15:47, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 'we can't have everything" Just proven my point. If something exists it should be included in a Reference Work or the Reference Work isn't complete.
 * I understand what you are saying. All you had to do was say "It would be best to wait until the production has happened and the script published before submitting an edit" and that would be fine. Instead I felt insulted, confused and made to feel unwelcome. I appreciate all the work editors do on this site but I just feel badly treated.
 * Good luck with the work you are doing. MisterHatted (talk) 15:56, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
