episodes lists

Hi, I started a discussion involving you here. Your input is welcome. Best regards,Jeff5102 (talk) 08:59, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your wonderful contributions. I cant wait to watch this. Hayholt (talk) 18:14, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I'm excited too! – BoogerD (talk) 18:15, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Question. I am wondering why starwars.com is utterly rejected for the page. Its fine we give deference to secondary sources but is there a particular reason to completely rely on secondary sources? 1 or 2 primary is good. Hayholt (talk) 13:14, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's just general Wikipedia policy as outlined in the MOS to avoid using primary sources as they are typically too close to the subject of the article. Reliable, secondary sources give a greater bit of distance and objectivity from their subject. Also, this is no need to add sources to the lead paragraph when the information being cited is already cited in the body of the article. – BoogerD (talk) 15:43, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:DisneyPlus.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:DisneyPlus.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:29, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

December 2018

Information icon Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. JDDJS (talk) 03:25, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Star Trek series

Hey, BoogerD. I noticed that you created both Picard and Star Trek: Lower Decks. Just wanted to let you know, since neither of them have begun filming yet, they should exist in the draftspace until filming does start, and the current information should reside at Star Trek. -- AlexTW 06:17, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. My mistake. I'll go ahead move them now. – BoogerD (talk) 06:23, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hi BoogerD,
You were talking about this reliable source [1], right? It said "Westfeldt’s status is recurring with Justice attached to the project for dual-episodes." Dual-episodes mean two episodes. It's not recurring. — Lbtocthtalk 00:53, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can't enter into a debate or dispute right now. Just can't stomach it. I try and spend the grand majority of my time on Wikipedia creating articles or drastically improving stubs or just-started articles. Substantial editing as I see it. Yet, somehow about half of my time on here gets filled with debating over details and minutia. You know my feelings regarding recurring classifications as it relates to two or three episodes. I will say that I genuinely thought I remembered the article as having originally announced her as recurring and that's why I said that in the edit summary. Do what you must; I won't protest at least not tonight. – BoogerD (talk) 01:01, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The article is only referring to Jennifer Westfeldt as recurring though. — Lbtocthtalk 01:08, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said...I misremembered the wording of the article. You've already pointed out its exact wording. I honestly just can't converse about this subject this evening. I know you've currently got other discussions going on over other issues tonight and so I, genuinely, do not want to engage you in a further one to have to respond to. You're going to do as you see fit; so be it. I'm willing to move on from it tonight and see to other issues if for nothing else that for my sanity's sake. – BoogerD (talk) 01:14, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I started the discussion to avoid edit warring. I will be respecting your wishes to move on from this for tonight. Thanks. — Lbtocthtalk 01:38, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Take part in a survey

Hi BoogerD

We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Punk (TV series) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Punk (TV series), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Replaceable fair use File:MurphyBrown.png

Thanks for uploading File:MurphyBrown.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. George Ho (talk) 02:31, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Murphy Brown

How exactly do you justify not including her statement? Where would it go?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 14:28, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vchimpanzee: First off, I'm sorry for the manner in which this has transpired. Hard as it may be to believe, I did not intend to remove the information from the article in full. What I believe happened was that I had copied and pasted the sentence with the intention of moving it to a new paragraph. In the midst of editing other articles and drafts, I somehow managed to delete the information rather than simply move it. Again, this was not my intention. My goal here, as I believe is the goal of all good editors, is to make Wikipedia more thorough and comprehensive. If you look at the article now, you will see that I have added the information regarding Trump back to the article in addition to further information about the production's development prior to the announcement that CBS had given it a series order. Feel free to message me back here to discuss this further. – BoogerD (talk) 20:43, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the information I added. You didn't say anything about the idea that if Hillary had been elected the show wouldn't have come back. I know it's just one person's comment, but it might be true. I was careful to be very specific about what was said.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:52, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is it okay if I move all this to Talk:Murphy Brown?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:53, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, hold on, as you said above, "I know it's just one person's comment, but it might be true." I added what has been factually stated by those involved with the show's production. If they did not explicitly state that the series would not have been brought back if Clinton had been elected than it shouldn't bee added to an encyclopedia article. The information, as it stands now, is supported by a reliable, secondary source that any reader can easily verify. – BoogerD (talk) 20:58, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that sounds fair. But I did state that it was one person's statement.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:10, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I'm glad we could discuss the matter. I appreciate that you brought up the topic of the genesis of the show's revival as I believe it has eventually led to an improvement in the article. Hope to edit alongside you again in the future. Sincerely, BoogerD (talk) 21:19, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored my comment concerning when the draft should be resubmitted. Actually, another user had tried to resubmit the draft today when it was not ready. If you think the ready to submit box should be removed in the meantime so as to not encourage resubmission, go for it. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 18:56, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just FYI, I just dropped by the blocking admin's talk page and asked her to take a look at our friend's resumed edit warring. I think the two articles need page protection if he doesn't let up, which is a shame. ----Dr.Margi 23:43, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have a feeling they're going to be seriously problematic when they return. They're already disputing things on their own talkpage with the blocking admin and reasoning appears to have little effect. It almost feels like I'm wasting my time talking with the IP, and I'm sure both you and BoogerD feel the same. It may be worth just pinging the blocking admin when they resume edit warring. But oh well, I hope you both have a good Christmas. Esuka323 (talk) 23:03, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Who is America? Canceled?

Saw this article. [2] By no means a confirmation as it hasn't been officially announced by the network but it makes you wonder. I personally think they are waiting for the outcome of the court case before deciding anything for sure. Esuka323 (talk) 03:32, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because this [3] is a pretty big show of faith by the network. Plenty of shows that are favorites among network execs but are low rated have been renewed before in the past so who knows really. Esuka323 (talk) 03:34, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I've seen all the articles over the last few months. Basically, Baron Cohen has said numerous times that he doesn't see a possible way to continue to produce the show because people are aware he's doing characters again (whereas during the first season of WIA, he hadn't gone out in the world undercover as a character in years). As far as he sees it, anybody that he and his crew would be interested in fooling probably has a press team that would be far more alert now. However, the network loves all the controversy and press that the show has generated as being in the news has given them free publicity. I'm not surprised they'd like to have a headline-grabbing show/performer stay with the network. I think that, for now, the article should merely note what Baron Cohen has said and what the network has said but avoid saying that the show has been renewed or canceled. Until Showtime issues some sort of statement saying that the series is not going going to come back then it is basically on hiatus. – BoogerD (talk) 04:31, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I agree, I'm sure if there were someway for the show to continue Showtime would find it. It's not like the live ratings in the episode table are a factor in the shows fate what with Showtime being a commercial free premium network which relies more on its ondemand/streaming/dvr for a better view of a shows popularity. Showtime have kept a show called Twin Peaks in limbo because it was massively successful on their non linear platforms, and I wouldn't be surprised if we hear nothing concrete for a long time for this show too.

Origin (TV series) [5]

In last edit you mention that such things as centrifugal force, Lorenz contraction etc. are original research. Why? The article was provided with links to Feynman Lectures and respective Wiki articles. 193.238.36.135 (talk) 08:08, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ORIGINAL, "To demonstrate that you are not adding OR, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented." The sources you are citing do not directly reference Origin. You are taking various disparate sources and using them to support your own original thoughts regarding the scientific accuracy of the series. To add the information you are attempting to edit into the article, you would first need to locate a reliable, secondary source that specifically discuses scientific inaccuracies in the series. – BoogerD (talk) 09:03, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
