Worth mentioning?

Hi User:AussieLegend, is it worth mentioning on The Aliens article that all Alien characters have French names like Fabien, Antoine, Christophe, Gaspard, etc? Because there isn't a section on the article that mentions other, more important elements of the series (plot in general) to begin with. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 03:20, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Do you have a source that discusses this? --AussieLegend (✉) 03:31, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Well, the end credits of episodes 1-3 list Fabien (1, 2, 3), Antoine (2, 3), Christophe (1), Gaspard (3); also not sure if Dominic is a male given name in France (if so 1, 2, 3 also). Or there's these Channel 4 profiles, like this one for instance: [1]. It's probably not a coincidence, but, as I say, may not be worth mentioning. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 04:28, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Aussie is talking about a source that discusses about how all of the names are French and the significance of it, and not the episode edit credits that merely show the French names. Alex|The|Whovian^? 04:39, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

There clearly French (names), but I'd be surprised if I could find a source that talks about it, it's more of an observation and trivial, the article doesn't go into detail about character backgrounds or individual episode plots and has an incomplete cast list, so it might even look odd to put something like that on without the more important stuff. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 05:19, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Then if it is merely "an observation and trivial", it fails WP:OR and WP:TRIVIA. Alex|The|Whovian^? 05:24, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

It's no different than, for example, In Camelot#Title reference, that doesn't give sources but points out insignificant trivia from that episode. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 05:40, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

That episode is a good example of what needs to go to AfD. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:49, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Moved to Talk:Sydney#Recent removal of content 24 March 2016

---

Hello AussieLegend,

The reason I removed the content "warm summers, mild winters" from the article Sydney is that that statement is based on opinion. I realise that you copied that from the source, but all that phrase says is that the author of the source considers Sydney's climate to be like that. There is no objective classification for those terms, and they are based solely on personal comfort levels. Personally, for example, I would say Sydney has coolish winters and coolish summers, which is not the same as what was there. According to Wikipedia's own neutrality rules, opinions and personal synthesis are to be left out of articles.

If it had said, "According to XYZ climate classification system, Sydney has warm summers and mild winters", it would have been different since here it is clearly stated as the opinion of XYZ. However, this was not the case, hence why I removed it from the article.

Thank you,

List of The Real Housewives of Vancouver episodes

Should the tables at List of The Real Housewives of Vancouver episodes have not had their title columns stretched out, and had the same treatment as the tables at List of Vikings episodes? I thought that stretching a column out to 76% was unacceptable. Alex|The|Whovian^? 14:59, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

The treatment of columns at Vikings was a compromise. It hasn't been an issue at any other lists. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:12, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

The compromise was after you raised the issue of the wide columns. Are wide columns not an issue on the other linked page? Alex|The|Whovian^? 15:14, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

No, that's not correct. The problem at Vikings started when you removed the US ratings and set some of the remaining column widths to some random values.[2] I set them to values that ensured only one column was wider than it needed to be but you reverted.[3] I constantly said having only one column with too wide is preferable to having them all too wide.[4] Artmanha took exception to me setting the table widths so that the table was 100% in the season articles, which include episode summaries, but only as wide as it needed to be on the LoE page, which doesn't include episode summaries. The compromise happened because of that, and now we have tables with heaps of unnecessary, empty cells at the LoE page. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:59, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Fair enough. In the discussion itself, was there any opposition to the table you posted directly after "In a table like the one below, you read the data, read the next data"? It seems we went straight to the next suggestion, which was the one the introduced the empty cells. Artmanha reverted the edit in the fourth link you provided, but I don't see it coming up in the discussion (though I still disagree with the |total_width = <includeonly>70</includeonly><noinclude>100</noinclude>). Alex|The|Whovian^? 01:41, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

That was the version that you reverted here. I really don't see the logic behind rejecting the version that automatically resizes depending on locathion. Tables don't need to be the full width of the page if there is not enough data to fill the width. Why does the following table need to fill the width of the LoE page?

No. overall	No. in season	Title	Directed by	Written by	Original air date
20	1	"Mercenary"	Ken Girotti	Michael Hirst	February 19, 2015 (2015-02-19)
21	2	"The Wanderer"	Ken Girotti	Michael Hirst	February 26, 2015 (2015-02-26)

Vanadalizing

Hi!, I have been editing the BGC articles and this user 24.183.29.4 keeps deleting contestant tables and removing the MOS compliance. Since I don't have the authority to block/issue a warning, I was wondering if you could since you are one of the main editors too.VietPride10 (talk) 23:20, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm not an admin so I can't block him, but I have issued some warnings after reviewing today's vandalism. Any editor, including you, is able to issue valid warnings, so feel free to do that if you see the need. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:55, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
