Question?

Hello, you undid my edits on the batman 60s series because I made them with a sockpuppet account. but my main account got in band because I did not know the rules. would it be ok if I bring my edits back? This would help the page because it has format issues. -ANDREWs13

Australia Population Clock

Hi Aussie, please cite your sources for the population clock in template:data australia. You just undid an edit I made in accordance with the official Australia population page. currently that pages says it is based on the population on Dec 31 at a certain rate and that's what i entered for the Wikipedia page. If you have some other official source for the population, please quote it, or use the numbers the official page provides. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric car (talk • contribs) 20:47, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

The source used is the official population clock, not just the text that you rely on but the actual, displayed population figure. As I explained in my edit summary, and as I have explained before,[3] using the data from December results in errors creeping in over time because of the precision we are forced to use. Your edit resulted in the displayed population being some 66,000 persons different from that actually displayed by the population clock. It is periodically necessary to update the data in the template to that most recently displayed by the population clock to minimise the displayed error. At 00:00GMT yesterday the population clock displayed 24,573,880, so that was the figure used in the template. As a result, the value displayed in articles right now is 24,574,900, while the figure displayed by the population clock is 24,575,837, which is an error of only 937 people. (This will reduce at 00:00GMT when the template updates and should never be more than 1,040) Your edit actually compounded the error because it used a daily change of 1053.659 (a change of 1 person every 82 seconds), while the actual change of 1 person every 83 seconds is actually 1040.963855 persons per day. When the template is updated all values need to be changed, not just the most obvious. --AussieLegend (✉) 21:25, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

I'll just add that right now the population clock says there are 24,576,164. The current state of the template shows 24,576,000, a difference of only 164, which is far preferable to 66,000. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:50, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

List of Primeval characters

Seeing as you are literally the only interested party, may as well discuss this here. This list in its current state is objectively bad. Without a dedicated editor, there is no way to fix that. The current state of the article will only make people edit it to produce the same type of content. The discussion to be had is not what should be removed, but what should be added back. Per the ten or so featured character lists, the absolute core characters usually have one to four paragraphs, secondary characters have one or two, and minor characters have one or are just excluded if they have no real importance. If you or someone else wants to work on it, then it's fine to leave it. In that case, it doesn't matter if it takes a month or two years. If it is going to be left to stagnate as it has, then it needs to be cut down to entice proper editing. The removal of the alphabetical listing, a proper hierarchy of character importance, and the addition of conception and reception section would help with that. If you would like to set up a RfC, that would be fine, but otherwise literally nobody else will care going by the nonexistent traffic of the article. TTN (talk) 20:14, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
