Can you explain this revert?

I am not sure what you were saying with your edit summary, A. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 23:28, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Jack Sebastian: Sorry. For one, she's linked in the cast list as well and that particular link wasn't removed, so the affected link should have been alright. And as for requiring a source connecting the two, that's where the part of Per "In other media" of character article comes in - there's an entire section on the character page under the section titled "In other media" that details how the character has appeared on the series.

The Lion Guard

The sources from zap2it were published long before the series began to air. Revisions later occurred. The plot line of "Fuli's Speeds Ahead" was instead combined into "The Search for Utamu." I watched on February 26. The episode titled "Fuli Speeds Ahead" never aired.Wikicontributor12 (talk) 02:30, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikicontributor12: Zap2It is constantly updated as the series airs and has always been viewed as a reliable source as an episode guide. Can you provide a source that supports what you've stated about the combination of the episodes? Alex|The|Whovian^? 02:31, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimately, when the episode "The Search for Utamu" aired (which I saw and is currently available on demand) in the episode; Bunga, Kion, Ono, and Beshte search for the Utamu grubs. On the way, Bunga tells the story of how he met Timon and Pumbaa. Meanwhile Fuli goes on a mission alone and overexerts herself, leaving her vulnerable to Mizingo and his vultures. According to zap2it, the plot of "Fuli Speeds Ahead" was "Fuli goes on a mission alone and overexerts herself." Unfortunately, the zap2it link you provided in the edit summary is currently buggy and is not loading to The Lion Guard episode guide. As I said, an episode titled "Fuli's Speeds Ahead" never aired on February 26 (only "The Search for Utamu" aired on that date), and judging from the zap2it summary of "Fuli Speeds Ahead" and the events that occurred in "The Search For Utamu", all signs point to the fact that the plot of "Fuli Speeds Ahead" was combined into the plotline of "The Search For Utamu." Unfortunately, I cannot provide any other evidence other than that at this time. I can only report on what actually aired.Wikicontributor12 (talk) 02:48, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I don't know about this specific case, but Zap2it often lists the Canadian air date if it aired there before the U.S., with absolutely no indication that it's the Canadian air date, and no mention of the U.S. air date. Not even after the episode has premiered in the U.S. They are not really good at updating other info if it changes either, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. nyuszika7h (talk) 20:21, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert on Talk:Peter Capaldi

Hi there. I think you made a mistake with this revert. Please remember that per our policies and guidelines, anti-vandalism tools shouldn't generally be used to revert good faith edits such as the one you reverted, at least not without providing an explanation (cf. WP:Twinkle#Abuse). Since you neither supplied an edit summary to explain your change nor left the editor a message, this editor has no way to know why their edit was removed. I encourage you to remember that everyone starts as a newbie and has to learn how things work, registered editors and anon editors alike. Also, I would advise you to use edit summaries on all your edits, since it allows other editors to know what you changed and why you changed it without having to check the diff. Regards So Why 21:38, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SoWhy: Sorry, pressed the wrong button so I couldn't provide an episode summary. Wikipedia is not a forum. Simply because Peter Capaldi played a W.H.O. Doctor in World War Z, does not mean it relates to Doctor Who. This is typical fan spotting. Alex|The|Whovian^? 21:44, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As an experienced Wikipedian, I guessed that this was your reason to delete the comment. Unfortunately, a new anon editor most likely has never heard of that policy and might now - since you also didn't leave them a message - think their contributions are not wanted, potentially scaring away someone who could have become a great editor. Hence my message. Regards So Why 19:11, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please responsd

Hi AlexTheWhovian, could you please respond to this thread on my talk page. I have some questions about the topic that I need help with and could really use your assistance. Thanks. – Nick Mitchell 98 ^talk 00:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

People Just Do Nothing series colours

User:AlexTheWhovian, I edited the People Just Do Nothing article to include series overview template and episode templates, but now I want to change the colours to match DVD colours (like I did with The Curse of Oak Island) and can't find DVD release, so do you think the colours could be changed or are ok? Thanks. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 18:33, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Emperorofthedaleks: They'll be just fine. Alex|The|Whovian^? 21:34, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MCU TV series

I see you have used the existing number of series parametre in the infobox for the other kind of series (the former being the UK version of season, the latter the series as a whole). I think it works for this page, which is obviously a special case, and was wondering if there was anyway to have the series above season in the infobox, so the three parametres (including episodes) could appear in somewhat more of a logical order. Not sure if that's possible. - adamstom97 (talk) 08:24, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamstom.97: It was a bold edit to see if other editors approved of it, and since you've seemed to, I'd created a discussion at Template talk:Infobox television#Number of series/seasons to swap the order of the two parameters. Alex|The|Whovian^? 08:36, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Number of sections/discussions (as discussed around the tech pump)

Just in case you missed my inappropriately placed ping: See {{NUMBEROFSECTIONS}}.

Can be used in math like {{#expr:{{NUMBEROFSECTIONS|User talk:AlexTheWhovian/Archive 1}} + {{NUMBEROFSECTIONS|User talk:AlexTheWhovian/Archive 2}} ... up to /Archive 11 }} which gives 0

fredgandt 12:11, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'll be sure to use it. Alex|The|Whovian^? 00:13, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, but hang on! I'm gonna update the supporting module in a bit (working module sandboxed and almost ready to go (dog walk and testing first)) to take all the pages in one call. It should be much more efficient with the caveat that for every page listed, the same section levels will be counted.

So {{NUMBEROFSECTIONS|User talk:AlexTheWhovian/Archive 1|... 2|... 3|... 4|... 5|... 6|... 7|... 8|... 9|... 10|... 11}} will return the total 2s.

Better performance and a bit neater. I'll drop you a message when it's live. fredgandt 02:25, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Now

{{#expr:{{NUMBEROFSECTIONS

works. fredgandt 09:50, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed it does! Great work! Alex|The|Whovian^? 09:54, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I figured 10 at a time is plenty. If I get my mind to behave and figure out how to do arbitrary numbers (some sort of delimitation) I'll do that; a missing pipe just kicked my behind though, so I'm watching TV instead. fredgandt 10:04, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gotham

Hi, I've reverted that problematic editor twice now because his edits are erroneous, and a third time would probably draw undue attention to me as I'm an IP user, but I think I should bring it to your attention that Harper9979 and 110.171.182.13 are the same user. Check their edit history, their wording is pretty much the same. See these edit summaries for example. [1] and [2] it's such blatant and obvious sockpuppetry to try and force his opinion onto a page that I'm disengaging from this editor as I don't think it will solve anything. If anything he needs reporting. 81.106.156.18 (talk) 12:39, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did notice the similarities between their edits, and said as much on the talk page, so I'll file a report for sockpuppetry. I've already filed for page protection for the article to prevent further disruptive edits. You may only be an IP editor, as you've said, but you've done great work reverting these edits and providing evidence for the investigation (now at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Harper9979). Thank you. Alex|The|Whovian^? 13:03, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Help from a new user

You used the {{Help me}} template, but you wanted an answer from a specific editor. If you still need help, please add your question to that editor's talk page instead. Alternatively, you can ask your question at the Teahouse, the help desk, or join Wikipedia's Live Help IRC channel to get real-time assistance. Click here for instant access.

Hi, AlexTheWhovian. By the advise of a user, I seek help from someone with TV experience. I'm currently creating new pages for Grimm and Gotham episodes and I would be happy if you and/or other people help me add information or something like that to make my pages work as I'm the only one editing them and planning the pages to be professionally made. I'm planning on creating more pages in the days to come like in the case of Gotham, to be each week while I'm working on the delayed episodes of Grimm. So please send me a message back with your answer. Thank you. Universe1609 (talk) 12:32, 26 March 2016 (PTD)

Pending changer reviewer

Hi. I added this to your account, so you can accept or reject changes. If you don't want it, let me know. Widr (talk) 14:38, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Widr: Thanks for that. It'll come in handy on the Clarke Griffin article. Alex|The|Whovian^? 14:47, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's what I thought. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 14:49, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

3O

A 3O asks for "a section link to a section on the article's talk page dedicated to the 3O discussion", that's what I was offering. The whole thing is a waste of time anyway, but I guess I have to blame myself for the 3O.-217.248.22.214 (talk) 12:52, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
