:Hi {{u|Deepspace9odo}}, thanks for the note. I took a look at the intro; thanks for linking to it. Still not sure the content you added belongs in the article. Content should ideally not be presented from an [[WP:INUNIVERSE|in-universe]] perspective, and I feel that your parenthetical "in the middle of Nowhere" is an in-universe gag that doesn't materially improve the casual reader's understanding of the series. Also, it interrupts the normal City, State pairing that you'd expect to see in an article when discussing where the series takes place, which tends to suggest they're in the middle of nowhere. Lastly, parentheticals are used far too often as a way to cram information into sentences, rather than figuring out a way to deliver the content so that it paints a clear picture to the casual reader. I don't mean that as a dig on you, I'm only expressing that this is something I see often in Kids' TV articles, and it's not always the right way to go. If content is important, it should be able to stand on its own. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb#top|talk]]) 05:32, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Talkback|tad102

Half of the internet's legitimete data is based on 'user' contributions, and ImDb is a widely recognised and respected website, linking it to virtually every movie/tv show's, etc description page so that argument is rather shallow! You are also absolutley right, wikipedia is a community based site so continually acting as some self appointed judge and removing people's posts/edits is hardly the spirit of the site! (A further user edited my revision without removing it entirely thereby excepting the source!) Your intial revisions I understand and agree with, however I reverted your last edit as I had followed your intial advise and sourced the information therfore your edit has no merit. Kindly stop being so destructive of other people's work as this harms the very basis on how this website was created and is managed. If you were an administrator or creator of this site you may have more say in such matters but you are a contributor only, just as I am. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tad102 (talkcontribs)

@Tad102: I'm not interested in getting into an esoteric discussion about half of the internet's data. Wikipedia has specific guidelines for what constitutes a satisfactory source per community standards. As I have already explained, IMDb is not considered a reliable source by the very specific Wikipedia standards detailed here. We also do not care for speculation or original research to be included, which is what you are introducing when you repeatedly submit (without providing a reliable source) that production on Kung Fu Panda has ended. And yes, while we are all contributors here, if your (or my) contributions are problematic because they contravene existing Wikipedia policies and guidelines, then they should be changed. Obviously you have good intentions. These changes happen all the time and it's nothing personal. Not sure what you mean by "a further user edited my revision without removing it entirely." If you mean this edit, that was performed by me. I removed the IMDb reference as unsuitable (because it doesn't meet WP:RS) and also as unnecessary because we can directly observe in the episode list that ten episodes have not aired. I did, however, again delete the unsourced statement about production for reasons that should be obvious by now. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:05, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Licence for image

I want to upload this image [1] of James Murray. What licence do I need? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pickuptha'Musket (talkcontribs) 23:45, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pickuptha'Musket: If it's an image you own the copyright to (typically the copyright belongs to the person who took the photo, not necessarily the subject of the photo) you would have to release it under Creative Commons Share Alike. If it's not an image you own, you should probably read this. I'm not too familiar with image upload specifics, so you will likely find better answers at the Wikipedia Help Desk. Hope that helps, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:08, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Zap2It "listings" (not "episode guide") now lists Sofia the First premiers

I agree Zap2It's "episode guide" is not a reliable source of dates, only titles. However, Zap2It's "listings" are highly reliable, and FYI they now show all 3 premiers airing back-to-back on 3/27: http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tv/sofia-the-first/upcoming-episodes/EP01510762?newEps&aid=tvschedule — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.35.109.224 (talk) 16:40, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@24.35.109.224: What's the confusion? For weeks, random editors have been changing the proposed air dates without providing a better source. The existing sources are attached to the episode titles and do not support the air dates. If you've found a better source for the air dates, bravo to you. Please provide it as inline citations.

Re: No personal attacks

"your recent edit summary is inappropriate..." In your POV, that is, I think. I don't think that uttering the word "fool" is necessarily taboo. Is there a rule against name-calling, perhaps? Classicalfan626 (talk) 22:30, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Classicalfan26: All the relevant links are on your talk page in the comment I posted. If you are seriously trying to suggest that calling someone a fool could be considered appropriate, I'd love to hear your argument for a giggle. You're more than welcome to ask a few admins what their POV is on the matter. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:48, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Are you trying to ridicule me? (rhetorical question) In terms of the word "fool", unless there's something against name-calling, it is a technical term that means lacking good judgment, so in that case, it is to inform others of wrongdoing. And as far as I know, it is far less severe of a term than say "idiot" or "moron" in society. However, if there is a consensus here on Wikipedia against using that word in correspondence, I will be happy not to utter it on this site. Are you OK with that? Classicalfan626 (talk) 23:00, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Classicalfan626: WP:NPA There's no reason for you to call anyone any sort of disparaging name, which I think was fairly clear, and adequately linked on your talk page. And though I understand your natural reaction to be defensive, asserting that the word "fool", in the manner you used it, is a technical term, is clearly wrong. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:16, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. I guess you think it's not necessary to establish a consensus for either side. I guess I can agree with that. Name-calling is uncivil is what you're trying to point out. I'll do my best to stay civil, even if it means avoiding calling someone any kind of derogatory name. Classicalfan626 (talk) 00:20, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Classicalfan626: Your open-mindedness is much appreciated. It's always difficult to accept criticism, and no offense was intended. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:51, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Clubeditor

Some of the talk on the Civitatis International page is not relevant and the page is being vandalised by several users, why do you have an interest in this page? Refrain from vandalising this page further.Clubeditor (talk) 11:39, 19 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clubeditor (talkcontribs)

@Clubeditor: Why I have an interest in the page is of no concern to you. This is a community project, and whattayaknow, I'm part of the community. As noted on your talk page, you should probably become familiar with talk page guidelines before removing comments from that page. The discussions appear to be related to vandalism to the article, which in my experienced opinion, is relevant. I will also point out that if you continue to remove the discussions without achieving consensus on that very same talk page, you might very quickly find your own account blocked for edit warring.

Is it just me?

I'm having issues with the close of the runtime RfC at WT:TV. The closer seemed to concentrate on the "stopwatch" part of the question and not whether or not we should cite runtimes. In his edit summary he said "Sadly, this cannot end in anything that will be enforceable" and on his talk page he's said If someone wants to start an RfC to discuss whether inline citation is required in the infobox or not, always assuming that the source of the figure is established from reliable independent sources, then that is a different question (emphasis added). But, the RfC question asked whether we should cite runtimes, so it's not "a different question", it's one that he's ignored and, to make it worse, Tenebrae has taken this to mean that it's OK for him to change the documentation for {{Infobox television}},[2] and to removing running times from infoboxes.[3] Am I reading this wrong? The change to the infobox is redundant, since every cite is supposed to be from reliable, third party sources, but that is another issue. --AussieLegend () 05:33, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@AussieLegend: The whole shebang was very confusing to me and got very big, quickly. I was going to suggest asking Guy, but I see that you've engaged him already--am I wrong to assume that his explanation helped you understand his closing comments? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:31, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
From what he's said it seems the whole RfC was pointless, as he indicated in his edit summary, because the RfC question was effectively "Do we have to use reliable sources or can we measure times using a stopwatch?". However, Tenebrae believes this means he can add a pointless and misleading statement to the infobox documentation. *sigh* --AussieLegend () 06:53, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can't think of subject name but please read anyway.

Can I at least keep relying on IMDb for my information about movies then, even if it's not a reliable source here? Marcman15 (talk) 20:57, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcman15: In your personal life? Why would that be up to me? If you add content to Wikipedia it must be verifiable. IMDb is not considered a reliable source, thus, information you find there should not be added to Wikipedia. Hope that helps. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:00, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Badlapur

I am rather surprised at the bias being shown here. Information from Koimoi is being deleted as 'opinion', Taran Adarsh has on the very first week declared the movie to be a Hit. That was also removed. WEhat in Wiki's opinion is the defintion of a commercial hit?? I believe Koimoi has given a very transparent scale by which all movies are being measured. On top my edits are being called 'promotional;;' which is just a subjective guess by you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.169.44.195 (talk) 19:28, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@122.169.44.195: Hi, I have opened a discussion at Talk:Badlapur (film), which is the most appropriate place for this discussion. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:59, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Cyphoidbomb. I need your help.

I think you know me from the issue about the Jimmy Two-Shoes article. I'm very glad writing to you again. The problem is I'm editing this article according to data I've gathered and I've cited through the article, and this user is disrupting my edits, which is a fault on the first Wikipedia rule: "Anyone can edit". Now, I understand that I'm being silly about this, but I have sources which can prove my point on this edit, being reverted [4] [5] [6] [7] repetitively. I'm not basing the articles with my facts. I've made a research on different forums and I've been looking for webs which had the information I needed, but this user is persistent on this and doesn't want the changes to be added. For the record, this is the same user that time ago tried to manipulate the Main article of the channel from being US localized to International, something many users, including administrators, rejected. Please, help me. He has a long time being here, and I'm just one year and still learning, but I'm not rude with everybody here. Hope you understand. Sincerely. -Bankster1 (talk) 00:37, 23 March 2015 (UTC) Edit: Also, we both violated the 3RR rule, but I rejected to revert his edition due to position he may do to prove him right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bankster1 (talkcontribs) 00:39, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bankster1 I'm happy to take a look, but can you please provide a clearer explanation of what the specific dispute is? By looking at that article's talk page I see some older stuff about not using the German Wikipedia as a reference, which makes sense to me. We can't use any Wiki, be it Wikipedia, or Wikia, nor can we use any user-contributed site as a reference. This tends to include other sites like TVTropes, TV.com, and even IMDb. Also, when you provide diffs, can you please include the link from the "prev" button, or, if you select a range of changes, use the link at the top of the resulting page, (example here) not a link from the page at the time it was edited? (I know this might be confusing, but a "diff" is supposed to show what specifically was changed or is "diff"erent. For example, one link you provided above was this, but what is better is this version which shows me a summary of what exactly has been changed between the two edits. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:57, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see. No problem. The dispute is about the actual channels of Disney XD, which I've visited pages and make a research (which Spshu states that "falls into the non-original research Wikipedia's policy") and I listed the Disney XD channels by countries, divided in SD-HD feeds and their launch, in what countries it airs apart from the supposed country, and the management those channels receive. Now, I've visited forums and different pages and I've made it clear these was the actual division of the channels. In this edit, which was the first I'd made, I've listed the channels in a disorganized manner that some users took their time to help me out doing the correct coding of the tab, something I really appreciate, but as you can see, there are some issues there, like Disney XD South Africa. This channel is the same as Disney XD Turkey, which airs on the Balkans and the Middle East, only with an English track. This channel is called Disney XD EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), which I listed in that edition and included DXD ZA here with some minor annotations about the airing of it on the Balkans. As far as I'm concerned, this feed replaced Jetix EMEA, which was on the air in Turkey and the Middle East, but it didn't reach Africa, so that's why I kept the actual launch of the channel in ZA. Romania can catch the channel on Serbian DigiTV, same as Bulgaria (stated also in the latter edition). Also, in the first and latter edition, I've included the division of DXD Scandinavia by audiotracks and not by channels, since I really don't know if a DXD NU HD channel exists and, if so, I can't find the sources about when it was launched. So, I divided into 6 according to a Viasat webpage I forgot to include as a reference: Danish (for Denmark and Iceland), Swedish (for Sweden and Finland), Norwegian (for Norway), Finnish (for Finland and Estonia. Continuity was in English), English (pan language, for Scandinavia and Baltics) and Russian (only for Baltics. Continuity wasn't translated. Included in Swedish Viasat carrier.). This edition caused me a lot of problems, since Spshu stated that there was a proper, IPTV channel of a Russian DXD airing in Lithuania (which could be DXD Scandi with Russian audio). Since Jetix Russia was replaced by Kanal Disney on 10 August 2010, this can be a matter, since there's no even another Disney channel there (like DXD or D. Junior, last one is carried as a block on Kanal Disney). So, there's no logic on the IPTV channel. He shields himself providing a MAVISE source, which is the same website that listed Kanal Disney replacing Jetix Russia 5 months earlier than recorded and listed on YouTube and Wikipedia, respectively. It doesn't make any sense. Another thing you can find in this edition, which was the last one that I've added information until an admin came out and protected the page, is that I've put launch dates of subchannels according to different sources (one of them was the proper Wikipedia in other languages, but some had their own references). For example: according to Guida Sky Italia, the HD DXD IT channel was launched on 9 June 2012, and it was recorded by a YouTube user called "kingoftvsat", known for recording continuities. I also listed the US DXD West channel but without including the date, because I have no information of this. However, I've included a satellite carrier (lyngsat) which states that feed, indeed, exists, and it's even carried by DirecTV. Another listing was the Latin American channel, which I know better because I'm from Latin America and I live there. This channel is divided in subfeeds, all of them premiered on 3 July 2009, according to ANMTVLA (prestigious webpage about everything that involves TV on Latin America and Brazil), and it was recorded on YouTube. Was divided in Mexico feed (aired also in the US, but I didn't put that because it would be odd), North Atlantic (Colombia, Venezuela, Central America and Caribbean), Brazil feed, South feed (Argentina, PY and UY), and Pacific (feed which I receive on my TV provider, airing over Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Ecuador. Headquarters in Chile). The last one was split from the South feed on 2010, when DXD was already airing. It's characteristics are that it included the main DXD announcer, that differs in voice from the Argentinian one, and we had the Chilean time (which was kind of bad because I'm Peruvian and the difference between Chile and Peru on matter of time is from 1-2 hours depending on the month of the year). Well, reducing this to a little summary, Spshu and I had a edit war over these statements until user:CambridgeBayWeather arrived and protected the page for the first user, as he requested him to do that. Now, he's accusing me from being a vandal, something I can't tolerate at any matter because my first intention here was to contribute in both English and Spanish Wikis. In the last one, we used to base our articles from the English main wiki, so that's why I've committed the mistake to do it in the vice versa manner here with sources from other Wikipedias. I'm writing to you because I want things to be resolved. I compromise to search the right sources for exact sections of the article as far as Spshu doesn't erase all the contribution I've made in hours. It was a great edit and I have friends on forums that gave me some sources in which I've based the article, but now I have to look for them again. I don't want this article to be protected forever and I don't want to be "in war" with that user, which seems to intimidate a little. Thanks for your help, Cyphoidbomb.

Could you please add Alex Russo to your watchlist? An unresponsive editor keeps unnecessarily adding colour to the infobox.

Socking?

So I'm starting to suspect some widespread socking and long term abuse on cartoon articles... there's just too many folks trying to change genres. Just seems too common to be a coincidence.

List of programs broadcast by Qubo

Thank you for putting a block on 173.50.64.195. We had lots of vandalism on List of programs broadcast by Qubo. This person undone the edits that I have corrected earlier today. I spent 20 minutes correcting and removing false information s/he did. Right now, it is originally back the way s/he put it as if this person thinks the information s/he found was true. We do not where or how s/he got the information. We definitely sure it is false. Unfortunately, I cannot revert it due to the person who re-corrected the information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbears22 (talkcontribs) 03:34, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for replying back. 173.50.64.195 has been driving me nuts and probably s/he is putting false information on the page.

Dcbanners

What a shame. I looked at the editing times/days of the Finealt socks and there is no overlap with edits by Dcbanners. At least not for the past 5 weeks. SMH. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 03:25, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So weird. No idea what to think. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:16, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Same here; didn't even think when I made up the SPI that this would even occur since I intended it to be report-only. I didn't even sense any overlap, though their 3RR blocks probably portended something. Nate (chatter) 02:14, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"List of TV shows" articles

Hey Cyphoidbomb. As you know, I'm a frequent editor of the article List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network. My question is: what will it take to get the article up to GA status, and what do you think is the "ideal" list of TV shows article? Should it be simplified to look like List of programs broadcast by CBS? Should the tables with distributors, premiere/end dates, notes, refs, etc. go and be replaced with the old list format?--Phil A. Fry (talk) 00:46, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested

Where do you come from?

Courage the Cowardly Dog

You reverted my edit on the page Courage the Cowardly Dog regarding Nowhere. Have you seen the intro? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtMLRQtCblw — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deepspace9odo (talkcontribs) 04:33, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deepspace9odo, thanks for the note. I took a look at the intro; thanks for linking to it. Still not sure the content you added belongs in the article. Content should ideally not be presented from an in-universe perspective, and I feel that your parenthetical "in the middle of Nowhere" is an in-universe gag that doesn't materially improve the casual reader's understanding of the series. Also, it interrupts the normal City, State pairing that you'd expect to see in an article when discussing where the series takes place, which tends to suggest they're in the middle of nowhere. Lastly, parentheticals are used far too often as a way to cram information into sentences, rather than figuring out a way to deliver the content so that it paints a clear picture to the casual reader. I don't mean that as a dig on you, I'm only expressing that this is something I see often in Kids' TV articles, and it's not always the right way to go. If content is important, it should be able to stand on its own. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:32, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
