Unexplained removal of hatnote details on article
Hi,
Can you please explain the removal of hatnote details in this edit to Wentworth (TV series)?
No explanation or justification was given for this removal in the edit summary, and no attempt has apparently been made to replicate the functionality.
Please note that unexplained removal of content like this without explanation may be considered vandalism.

- @Ubcule: Because it is unnecessary mass disambiguation on an article that is already disambiguated in its title as "(TV series)", and hence, the hatnote should only be used to disambiguate between different TV series. If there needs to be a disambiguation page listing all Wentworth articles, then create one, but don't use this page for that purpose.
- I recommend continuing with accusing regular editors as vandals, see which administrator's board you find yourself on. It's also amusing how you linked the only removal without a summary, from May, instead of the one with a summary earlier this month. -- AlexTW 20:42, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Victoria (TV series)
Why did you delete my edit (2 Oct 2017) on this article. Without even a remark by way of justification. What policy were you enacting in this way? --BeckenhamBear (talk) 15:07, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- Wow, we're going right back. I wonder why you didn't ask me before? I believe for that particular edit, I prematurely hit enter before I typed an edit summary. The episode summary is to describe the fictional events in that particular episode - see the Series 1 episode summaries for an example, or any other television series artice. Real-life events that inspire the episode's events should be placed in a more appropriate section. -- AlexTW 23:29, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- OK I was a trifle glib perhaps, but actually it's not far away from being in tune with the summaries from series 1. The summaries for series 1 are a mix of fact and fantasy. That's what this series is "historical Romance". Virtually this whole episode was about Robert Traill, the Famine, and the Queen meeting him (I only missed out her Lobbying for the victims), and that's what I put in. So are you going to put it back in or not? Regards. --BeckenhamBear (talk) 12:12, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- No, I am not going to restore it, for the reasons mentioned. As I said, I removed it because it is not an episode summary. It's a list. A summary does not include "This, that, and this happened", it needs to go into detail about the events that actually transpired in the episode itself. Much like Series 1. -- AlexTW 12:59, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- It wasn't a list, it was in fact "The programme deals with the impact on Victoria of the Irish Famine, her correspondence and meeting with the Reverend Robert Traill, the Rector of Schull in Ireland.". I thought at the to me it was adequate, however in the light of what you have said I'll change it, and frill it up to "The queen is increasingly concerned about the suffering in Ireland due to famine and summons the Reverend Robert Traill, the Rector of Schull to the palace give his witness. She lobbies privately for action to be taken by parliament." Does that now meet with your approval for inclusion? --BeckenhamBear (talk) 13:35, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- This is irrelevant now; a full summary has been added for the episode, along with the other episodes of the series. -- AlexTW 01:43, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

You do remember what BRD means, right?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Your reverting doesn't help the situation, it only exacerbates a situation that better warrants discussion. BRD is on point. If you disagree, use discussion. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 23:58, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- I thought I'd also add that your wikistalking nonsense hasn't gone unnoticed. You are shedding the assumption of good faith every fucking time you follow me around and revert my edits. I think that would be a magnificent way to bet yourself blocked. If being a dick is your goal, please, by all means, continue. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 00:02, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- What crap are you spouting? The page is on my watchlist. I've been editing it for months. In fact, it was me who edited it first - be careful of that BOOMERANG! Off you go with your accusations, go have a Snickers. Byebye now. -- AlexTW 00:04, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
thank you
it was an accident when I removed the recurring cast. thank you for re-adding it. Hurricane Seth (talk) 06:58, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
question about references
I’m trying to add references for some of the cast of Fear the Walking Dead and I’m not able. I’m copying exactly how the other references are, just adding what needs to be added for the new ones, and it keep saying error. Hurricane Seth (talk) 07:00, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Copy the references code in your next message between <nowiki></nowiki> tags, and I'll see what I can do. -- AlexTW 07:03, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- I honestly have no idea how to do that. I’m a noob when it comes to the more complicated stuff like that. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? Hurricane Seth (talk) 07:20, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Fair enough, but I can't tell you what you're doing wrong if I can't see what you're trying to add to the article for the reference. -- AlexTW 07:24, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- okay, I have the references and everything ready exactly how they’re supposed to be, but I can’t add them to the article. this is the reference that I’m trying to add to Troy, Jake, Jeremiah, and Lola. I’ve figured out how to show you it. I’ll just show the actual link itself without the https:// at the beginning

- @Aunva6: Don't template the regulars, and explain to me what you're talking about. This supplied literally nothing at all. -- AlexTW 23:17, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- jeff was right. also, see User:DESiegel/Template_the_regulars -- Aunva6talk - contribs 05:11, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Aunva6: Jeff? Who's Jeff? If you mean Jack, then no, I will not be assuming any good faith with the editors involved in that discussion. I recommend that you mind your own business and go search for drama elsewhere. Also, learn how to add explanations to default templates; per that essay you linked me: Make the message appropriate. Thank you. Bye now. -- AlexTW 05:15, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Vikings season 5
Hi, regarding the titles of the first two episodes, in addition to Amazon, also iTunes sells the first episode as "The Fisher King" (here). On the contrary, History.ca (Canada being the original country in with the show airs) uses "The Departed, Part 1 and 2 as separate (here). I know there is a lot of confusion about this, but I wanted to give you the same sources I have so we can get our head around the problem. Which titles should we use? The original broadcaster in Canada? The one in the US? Or the titles given to the episodes for sale that most likely will end up in the DVD release?--TheVampire (talk) 01:52, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
- @TheVampire: Apologies for the late reply; the note works just as well. -- AlexTW 22:55, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
- No problem :) --TheVampire (talk) 00:03, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

The Grand Tour series articles
I thought I'd mention this here as you originally redirected The Grand Tour (series 1), which was created prematurely, in May. Casualty fan has since created series articles on 29 October, 4 December and again today, without attribution, at the wrong disambiguation and with various errors. I've left notes on his/her talk page but they've been blatantly ignored and no attempt to discuss on Talk:The Grand Tour (TV series) has been made. I did ask about this at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Television#List of episodes - when to split and Bignole's response was that the season articles shouldn't be created based on the discussion there. Some extra eyes on The Grand Tour (TV series) would be appreciated. Thanks. --AussieLegend (✉) 19:16, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
