20th Century Games

I'm only asking this because you did turn the page into a redirect before an IP editor reverted it back, but why do these IP users (or user, it could be someone hopping) believe 20th Century Fox Games is a real company, because there is no such thing. I have been improving the page with more sources and stuff like that, but I could believe this may still not be enough for a division that only functions as a licensor. What would you think? Luigitehplumber (talk) 22:17, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@LTPHarry: I originally reverted per Onel5969 "Not enough sourcing to pass WP:GNG or WP:VERIFY". I don't think an article is necessary as most of the information is at the former redirect target and anything extra that is sourced could be merged there. IP doesn't know what a division of a company is as opposed to a subsidiary. May need to take it to AfD if the IP insists on removing the redirect to turn it into a protected redirect. I wish we didn't allow IPs to create articles out of redirects to get around the restriction on creating articles in main space. Geraldo Perez (talk) 22:35, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I think a mention in the Fox Interactive and/or FoxNext pages would work out better. Luigitehplumber (talk) 23:03, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@LTPHarry: The target could be refined, but the page was originally created as a redirect and should have been left as such. I didn't restore the redirect as it looked like you were addressing the GNG issues but I still don't think this article is needed even if better sourced. I suggest restoring the original redirect and getting it protected so IPs can't recreate the article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:18, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then. I'll request it for protection. Luigitehplumber (talk) 23:21, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, you beat me to it. Luigitehplumber (talk) 23:31, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@LTPHarry: Also note that Draft:20th Century Games exists. Also protect was declined, next step is AfD. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:55, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then, good luck on that as well. Luigitehplumber (talk) 00:10, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Name remover" IP vandal is back

"Name remover" IP vandal is back at 178.70.133.113 – going to need a mass-rollback, and a reblock at WP:AIV. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:37, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox television status update

Geraldo, I don't suppose you've been following the discussions at Template talk:Infobox television, but the consensus is now to remove the |distributor=, |preceded_by= and |followed_by= parameters from {{Infobox television}}. On balance, this is a good thing, as all three parameters, especially |distributor=, are WP:DE/WP:VAND targets, and are not really important enough info to maintain in the infobox. (I fought removing the |related= parameter as I think it (still) has value, and hasn't been abused like the others.) Anyway, just making you aware that one of the usual IP WP:DE targets at TV articles is being removed. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@IJBall: Thanks. I've been watching. I'm considering reopening the discussion about removing |picture_format= and |audio_format=. It was discussed about a year ago and there seemed to be fairly strong support for removing them, but the issue died out. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:32, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bob the Builder

I have heard a few rumors of matteel, redoing Bob the Builder under the original designs, if this does happen can the new show be under the original and the article started back up or will a new article need to be created? I know we need official conformation, but trying to just plan and see how to handle this if/when it is announced as editors are going to be added it to the original show and won't fit on the 2015 page. Thanks. Magical Golden Whip (talk) 20:13, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Magical Golden Whip: I don't know how this will be handled based on not having any detailed information on what they will be doing. Likely will be a new and different show and should have its own article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:30, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kelly Overton

It's looking like I'm going to need help with an IPv6 range block at Kelly Overton – right now up to a Level 3 warning at the latest IPV6 address, but they don't look like they are likely to drop this. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:28, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just did it again, after you left a Level 4 warning. I'll let you take it to WP:AIV, because you can figure out the range block stuff. But clear WP:BLP-violating here. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:14, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Ruff Ruffman Show

There is clearly only one season of 20 episodes from 29 September 2017 - 21 October 2017. The amount of episodes can be seen in this article. https://www.pbs.org/about/about-pbs/blogs/news/pbs-kids-announces-the-return-of-fan-favorite-with-new-digital-series-the-ruff-ruffman-show/ The names can be seen in this Amazon Prime list although Episode 11 is clearly incorrect. https://www.amazon.com/Ruff-Ruffman-Show-Season/dp/B078T5BFJP This can be matched with the videos in the PBS Kids channel, which also have the posting dates in the More Info. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa8HWWMcQEGQy2ih09GXTor3UZFHZM9BJ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwf-K0eNy8AM_n6PD1MAvS4GIHuPB0Dsk (Includes episodes missing from the pbs playlist) I was trying to fix up the Episodes section which has been maliciously tampered with since 31 September is an impossible date for any year and the seperation of the episodes into 6 seasons in the episode summary is ridiculous. Unfortunately it took me hours as my Wiki coding is not that hot, so I gave up. If you can fix it all that would be great. Cheers Camwad83 (talk) 05:32, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Camwad83: That article does look fairly screwed up. I undid your edit because the number of seasons in the table is shown as 6 and you entered one. But looking at the tables it looks wrong to have that many seasons in a year with this few episodes. Shouldn't be broken into seasons at all and should be listed as a single list of episodes. I'll make a pass at fixing what I can with what is there. Geraldo Perez (talk) 05:51, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Camwad83 (talk) 05:52, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Rainbow Brite wiki article in relation to episodes was completely mangled with some Episodes and descriptions removed entirely. Another anonymous IP tamper. It needs sorting out by someone. I posted in it's Talk page but as no one else seems to care their has been no response.

I can help someone get the info together to sort it out with the help of some Rainbow Sprite podcasters but it's a pretty big job to fix up the damage. If you know anyone who might be interested.

It all just gives me a headache. Camwad83 (talk) 05:56, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a typo in the table for season 2 which is why 3 episodes are showing instead of 5.

The series is broken up into 4 sections, as such, with 4 episodes and a music video at the end of each.

Technically the entire series came out on 28 Sep 2017 according to the PBS article but the YouTube videos have individual dates. Camwad83 (talk) 06:12, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
