Copyright Violation Detection - EranBot ProjectA new copy-paste detection bot is now in general use on English Wikipedia. Come check it out at the EranBot reporting page. This bot utilizes the Turnitin software (ithenticate), unlike User:CorenSearchBot that relies on a web search API from Yahoo. It checks individual edits rather than just new articles. Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements. These likely copyright violations can be searched by WikiProject categories.

TV series categoriesI originally posted this on the talk page for MOS:TV, but was told it'd be better posting it here. I've noticed this for a long time, and that's categories for TV series' are not consistent and use different wording, ex. series, show(s), and program(s). One naming style should be used across all categories for consistency, and ease of finding/adding categories. Using "series" seems to be make the most sense since that's how they're usually referred to. There's tons of other inconsistencies, such as, Television shows filmed in California, Television series shot in Los Angeles, Television series produced in Toronto, which all are categories having to do with filming, but all use different wording (filmed, shot, produced). Filming, which is the most dominant usage for most of the naming, should be used across all similar categories. I'm just wondering how to go about this. Anyone have any input/comments on this? Thank you. Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:59, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

CartoonitoIn this edit I removed an unsourced list of programs from Cartoonito. This is likely to ruffle some feathers. I'm under the impression that many of us don't care much for the inclusion of these large List of programming sections in articles. I don't mind being wrong, though, so if anyone has any input or castigations, please visit the article's talk page where I have opened a discussion. If as a community we don't care for these lists, we might want to talk more about them, because they're everywhere.

Thank you. Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:59, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
- I favor "series" or "shows" over "programs", but I'm not sure I have a preference between the first two. They should definitely be consistent though. DonIago (talk) 15:59, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
- We've previously discussed "series" and "shows" and the preference was for series. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:11, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

- Hi all, a second request to please consider commenting at this RfC as it does involve potentially controversial content. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:18, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

In this edit I removed an unsourced list of programs from Cartoonito. This is likely to ruffle some feathers. I'm under the impression that many of us don't care much for the inclusion of these large List of programming sections in articles.

Removal of colour from Infobox television season
In case anybody is wondering what's happening, Alakzi is edit-warring at {{Infobox television season}}, removing the colour parameters used in thousands of articles. He has manually removed |bgcolor= from a number of articles but I have reverted these changes and I've left an edit-warring warning on his talk page about the edit-warring. --AussieLegend (✉) 08:29, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
You are invited to join the related discussion at Template_talk:Infobox_television_season#Questions_to_move_color-contrast_issues_forward_to_resolution to reach consensus on how to handle the pages tracked at Category:Articles using Template:Infobox television season with invalid colour combination—Bagumba (talk) 06:07, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
Notice of two discussion at WT:ANIME
This is a notice about ongoing discussion relating to this Wikiproject. The first discussion is about whether to use the "media date" published by primary sources (ex Saturday, July 18 at 25:00) or converted the actual date (ex Sunday, July 19 at 1:00 am) as used by most secondary sources such as the Media Arts Database from Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs.

Are David Feige and Kevin Feige related?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:08, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Sources to establish TV "notability" question
Over at WP:FILM (specifically at WP:NFSOURCES), they say the following:
"...Examples of coverage insufficient to fully establish notability include newspaper listings of screening times and venues, "capsule reviews", plot summaries without critical commentary, or listings in comprehensive film guides such as Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide, Time Out Film Guide, or the Internet Movie Database." (emphasis mine)
My question is this: Does this thinking extend to: Tim Brooks; Earle Marsh (2003). The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows 1946–Present (Eight ed.). Ballantine Books. ISBN 0-345-45542-8. – i.e. that inclusion in Brooks & Marsh on its own isn't enough to establish TV series "notability"? Or is inclusion in Brooks & Marsh's Directory good enough to establish TV show notability? Thanks in advance... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 06:12, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- Notability is defined as significant coverage in third party sources. Being included in a directory of shows would not be considered "significant". BIGNOLE (Contact me) 06:17, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- Well, it's interesting how this goes – several months back, I learned that WP:POLOUTCOMES would basically be satisfied for state legislators if they were included in a directory of state legislative office holders (as per this discussion)... So how "notability" is defined actually seems to very from subject matter to subject matter. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 06:36, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
