League of gentlemen

Dear ScrapIron,

Wishing to resolve this league of gentlemen dispute - the source for the edit restoration which keeps reverting is outdated, and not useful - it claims that in April 2017 Gatiss confirmed an anniversary special, yet the referenced article (http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2017-02-13/the-league-of-gentlemen-eyeing-20th-anniversary-reunion/) is from February 2017. I think perhaps some confusion has arisen because of this dubious sourcing - Gatiss did state in early 2017 that they were meeting for a 20th anniversary special - although the 20th anniverary of the tv show would be in 2019, this 20th anniversary is to celebrate the show on the BBC (on radio in 1997), hence the 2017 specials ARE the 20th anniversary specials. Similarly this article only suggests they'll try and make something happen, and is lacking in specificity; as sourced content goes, it is a weak secondary source, I would say.

There is no commissioned content for 2019, 2020; these remarks in Feb/April merely announces intent to reform, and came before the BBC commissioned three specials in August 2017 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-41024660), and reece shearsmith has since announced on twitter (https://twitter.com/ReeceShearsmith/status/935181066314375169?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalspy.com%2Ftv%2Fnews%2Fa844054%2Fthe-league-of-gentlemen-specials-airdate-confirmed-by-reece-shearsmith%2F) the air dates of these three specials as December 2017. Unless you can find more evidence for specials in 2019 and 2020, sourced after August 2017 (I can't find any such article), I'd like to revert to my edit.

(and apologies for the bloody hell comment - that was probably partly responsible for this edit war, should've just started the talk page then instead - don't edit wiki that often, so protocol for discussing went slightly over my head, just in this case I wanted to edit it, as the information is outdated and slightly misleading, and a topic I know a lot about)

Best,

Ratto

My issue here is that the statements in the first source were not contradicted in the second source, so I believe that the content referenced by the first source should not be removed in favor of the second; rather, that they should both be included. Having a series of three annual special episodes for this year does not mean that the specials planned for 2018 and 2019 have been canceled. Before we remove the sourced statement, I believe a notice of cancellation is in order.

As for the comment... I responded snarkily, and should have been more patient. We are all human beings on the other side of the keyboard, and occasionally our emotions intervene. Water under the bridge now, as they say! :-) Happy editing! Scr★pIron^IV 17:16, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I'm bringing the veracity of that source - I guess you can sum up the point I'm trying to make in 4 main points;

1) The written wiki content says "April 2017", yet the source was written on Monday, 13th February 2017; so what is currently written in the article is incorrectly sourced.

2) The written wiki content says "Gatiss confirmed", yet the source seems to have quotes from 3/4 of the members of the league of gentlemen. Similarly, Gatiss doesn't confirm anything more than "We’re hoping to [do it again].", since this was before they had been commissioned.

3) No expected air date is really touted in the source - 2019 is mentioned as a year, but 2020 is nowhere in that RT article, so phrasing in the wiki "expected to air in 2019 or 2020" corresponds with nothing in the source.

4) This radio times source is a weak second hand source; it features a number of selective quotes, but it doesn't really give much idea of the context of conversation. Similarly all the comments are vague and non-committal, since they don't have a commission in february - and I think the point stands that as much as they say they might like to do something in 2019, that this would take the form of an annual special is pure speculation, as they do not have a commission from the BBC to do so.

Overall, I think to make the strong claim "Gatiss confirmed that the show would return for an anniversary special which was expected to air between 2019 and 2020" is not a fair representation of that source states, both given the context of its timing, and the quality of the source. Some weak claim along the lines of "Gatiss suggested that the group might do something in 2019 to celebrate 20 years since the series" would be better, but is too weak a claim for wikipedia, I'd expect.

So although it is true the new specials aren't mutually exclusive with a 2019 special, my point is that the source isn't strong enough to make the claim that there will be annual specials; and then asking about cancellation brings us into a rather Kafkaesque realm of whether you can cancel something which hasn't been commissioned? I think the further specials claim therefore either needs resourcing with a more credible source which states there will be annual specials hereafter, or else that claim be removed.

(as for the hellfire and bloody damnation comment, it made me chuckle, and was a damn sight wittier than my bloody hell! but yeah [holy] water under the bridge!) Best, Ratto

List of United States bomber aircraft

So, apparently WP:BRD does not apply to you and you may edit war whenever you like? If you are at all familiar with those policies, then you know you should self-revert until a discussion on the matter takes place. You have only cited WP:AVIMOS, a guideline that while does state images shouldn't be included in lists, there are exceptions and they should be reviewed and discussed. You have done neither. I'm sure you're aware that alot of work went into finding and and adding those images, which only serve to greatly enhance that list. Yet, without so much as a simple attempt at a discussion on that talk page, or the Project Aviation talk, you would gleefully wipe out all that hard work. Your actions do nothing to improve this project, but at the very least, your actions should follow the policies here. You can begin by self-reverting (unless you think those images being there even a short while longer is causing some kind of significant harm?), then go and start the discussion you should have in the first place. - ^theWOLFchild 19:37, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To quote the agreed upon Style guide: "No images should be included in lists of aircraft, this is not what lists are for." No mention of exceptions, additional reviews, etc. The formatting is not in keeping with other aviation lists, and was brought into line with existing standards. Feel free to bring up a discussion to have the Aviation Manual of Style changed, if you think it is warranted. The hard work you have mentioned went into creating the style guide by the very Project you have cited. If others have chosen to add content that is in violation of Aviation Project standards, then it is unfortunate that they have spent their time incorrectly. Scr★pIron^IV 19:51, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You still haven't self-reverted..So you admit that think BRD does not apply to you. Got it. - ^theWOLFchild 20:31, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

You may be temporarily blocked or i can report against you for your edits you made for Bigg Boss 11. so please let them as it is as it's currently mode as I done and stop making these articles inaccurate. CK (talk) 15:09, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
