I think Zapit is incorrect on this issue. I did a simple search and other guides including IMDB are stating the 16th. I also went back a few years and we indeed have the 16th at one point as well, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ICarly_(season_2)&oldid=937715490 in addition the edits her explain the 16th https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_iCarly_episodes&diff=271328680&oldid=271325565 Magical Golden Whip (talk) 18:43, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

@Magical Golden Whip: Zap2it is a good reference. It is one of the better sources and it is the column reference. Likely the old data was changed to conform to it. If IMDb is different, that may be the source of other articles using that data. If reliable sources have conflicting data when need a discussion on what to use. Is there another somewhat contemporaneous program guide you found that could replace Zap2it as a column source. Not sure things like iTunes and such are better. The diff you used shows that reference as supporting the title. Sometimes original airing date doesn't match what was planed so I tend to give Zap2it a lot of credence.

The Futon Critic would normally be good to defer to for this, but unfortunately, it only has episodes from the last three seasons (3–5). And even then, not all of the third season. Amaury • 19:02, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: I did have [1], in addition to the itunes source that was added when reverted. Having a hard time finding promos. Magical Golden Whip (talk) 19:09, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

This may not be much of a help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix6k-UGePfUMagical Golden Whip (talk) 19:15, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

I think this may work, https://twitter.com/LucasCruikshank/status/1215490168 @MPFitz1968: tagging you too. This is the best I could dig up.

Social media for info not directly about the person posting it is generally discouraged as a reference. As are contents on unverified YouTube accounts. Something posted by the network on their outlet would be best. I don't like using iTunes as a source for dates when we have other more reliable sources. Copyright office says episode was published on the 17th per product code column reference which is another conflict of a very reliable source. I think copyright office may be based on UTC so may confirm the 16th as US airing date. Might use it and iTunes date together as a reference for the 16th.

The film in the Promo Spectacular! does support the film date. Wayback machine isn't working very well by going with old links. The reference here [2] was Nick's website. Magical Golden Whip (talk) 20:16, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately the link looks dead and webarchive says need a flash player to see the contents. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:22, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

You removed accurate information for no apparent reason.

Please restore the entry for the birthdate provided for Christopher Henchy. 2600:1007:B002:3EDC:0:4F:84E5:3401 (talk) 20:46, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

I gave a sufficient reason - see Special:Diff/1132085210 and WP:BLPPRIVACY. You added the info - see WP:BURDEN. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:52, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Descendants 3

Geraldo, is this edit appropriate? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:58, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

@IJBall: No. That is going beyond the purpose of navboxes in my opinion. Topics are loosely related at best. WP:NAVBOX. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:30, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Reverted, at all three Descendants articles. I did not check the edit history to see if this editor is doing this elsewhere, but it might be worth checking. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:30, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Tina Knowles

I was thinking about adding the info about the actual spelling of her birth name to the article's personal life section in an effort to keep people who clearly don't bother reading the reference from vandalizing it. Do you think that would help? I know you get tired of changing it back, lol. 166.198.161.6 (talk) 17:14, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

That's a good idea. A brief mention after her parents are mentioned as to why her last name is spelled differently than theirs is interesting info. Might help prevent people from changing it to what they know is correct against her own words as to why it is different from her parents and older siblings. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:21, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I added it, not sure if my wording is wiki sanctioned or not, you can amend it if you like. Now if this doesn't stop folks from "correcting" it, I don't know what will. But we'll definitely know for certain that they are being obtuse and vandalizing it on purpose. 166.198.161.6 (talk) 01:09, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Looks good. Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:11, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Pronouns (Summer Walker)

Does wiki have an official rule on gender pronouns? Because on Kehlani's page I see they/them still being used, but on Walker's page I see the pronouns they/them have been reverted back to she/her, by a user who apparently considered the use of they/them "sexist vandalism" so I'm a little confused. 166.198.161.6 (talk) 14:37, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

MOS:GENDERID and MOS:NEOPRONOUN are the appropriate guidelines for most of this. Basically use what the subject has stated they want used except use singular they if they want to use a neopronoun. Otherwise go with what the subject wants. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:40, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Got it. Honestly, going with what the subject wants seemed most logical to me but I decided to ask just to be sure, I didn't want to get into an edit war. 166.198.161.6 (talk) 16:54, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
