Promotional poster for season articles

Hello there! How've you been? There's something bothering me for a little while now, someone has been deleting a number of season posters and uploading the DVD cover instead, with the spine showing and sometimes even the DVD case. I'm reaching you because I wanted to know if it's a new police or guideline that says to prefer DVD covers over posters or if it's a newbie changing it out of his own will... Thanks a bunch!

P.S.: some of the seasons the user has changed are The Walking Dead and American Horror Story — Artmanha (talk) 18:10, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) WP:TVIMAGE (which actually is going through a rewrite now here) says that a poster or DVD cover should be used. I've seen editors decide to reupload the DVD cover, even if it is exactly the same as the promotional poster, just because it is the DVD cover. Preferably, an image without the spine or the case should be used. However, if a promotional poster for the season and the DVD cover are completely distinct, it may be worth having a discussion regarding which to use. And in my opinion, the end result should be the image that is most representative of the season and also has variance to the main article (for an example see the poster for Daredevil season 1 versus the home media cover, which is almost exactly the same as the title card. Thus the poster should be used in this situation). Hope that helps. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:36, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

@Artmanha: I really can't add anything to what Favre1fan93 has said; he has covered it perfectly. On the topic of the files, I have reverted and restored them back as far as possible; the previous files for The Walking Dead still existed, but the American Horror Story files had been deleted, so I cropped the covers and re-uploaded them to their previous file names.

@AlexTheWhovian:@Favre1fan93: you guys are the absolute best!! It's safe to say Wikipedia is a better place because of you guys. Thanks a lot! — Artmanha (talk) 23:29, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

In this case, in particular, I am the one completely at fault here. I'm not getting enough sleep. You don't have to fork off, just spoon a little ;). LLArrow (talk) 04:27, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Whose Line Season 12

http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/whose-line-is-it-anyway/ http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2016/04/05/the-cw-network-announces-additional-2016-summer-premieres-1414/20160405cw01/

Those two links from thefutoncritic specify that the new Season 12 season started May 23rd, 2016. It also contradicts itself saying it only has 12 episodes in season 12. Not so "reliable" to be flawless I think.

It does not make sense for the last episode of Season 11 to be July 27th, 2016; and the first episodes of Season 12 to be July 26th, 2016 (one day previous).

Plenty of other sources using that same CW press release that show that season 12 started on May 23rd, 2016: http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/whose-line-anyway-season-12-cw-series-returns-may/ http://www.yourentertainmentcorner.com/?p=85616 http://cwpittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/04/20/2016-summer-premieres/

I think it is more conclusive to go off a date to specify when a season started, instead of using a # of episodes measure. Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:681:4C02:6020:C99B:7C25:FCC1:D29E (talk) 21:25, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Arrow episode reverts

Greetings, Alex.

Don't worry, I am not going to self-revert my reversion of Jack Sebastian's edit. I left my justifications on both Talk pages for & against the argument, but I firmly believe that matters should be left alone.

Anyway, thanks for the support on this.
