Dove Cameron

I understand that my first edit was unnecessary, but the sentences mentioning Dove's heritage are kind of awkwardly worded. I only want to edit the wording so that it flows better, like so (this is what I'd like to change it to, not what's currently on her page): "Cameron has stated that she is of French descent and that she speaks some French. She also has Russian, Slovak and Hungarian ancestry." Clear Looking Glass (talk) 08:11, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

The Astronauts (TV series)

Firstly, you appear to not to be able to understand what I said in my edit summary. I never said that a promo counted as an appearance. I said they appeared in episode 106 as seen in the trailer/promo for the episode. 5 episodes is recurring. Going by This the adults qualify to be recurring. --ACase0000 Whu(talk) 19:21, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Either way, it doesn't count. And, again, only four episodes have aired; four episodes do not qualify a character for recurring status. Production codes are irrelevant for this. The next episode will be the fifth episode; however, for those who are not main cast, only those who receive a guest star credit or higher are listed, whether it's under a recurring section or in the episode table. The people who have appeared so far have only received a co-start credit, so they don't get listed. So the one not understanding things here is you. Amaury • 19:36, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Why does it matter if a they receive a "co-star" credit? They have appeared in every episode that's aired same as the so-called main cast who don't even get a "starring" credit. It's just how Nickelodeon does things. Are you still going to undo it when the adults appear in all 10 episodes of the season? Cause it's sure looking that why by your logic. Speaking of which where do get "five episodes is not recurring"? Is there any Wikipedia rule/policy on that or is just your opinion? --ACase0000 (talk) 01:45, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Owen Joyner

You have this one watchlisted, right? Please keep an eye on it. It's the usual – an infobox is not justified at this article currently (if all an IB does is list your name and occupation, it's not justified!), and neither is a 'Discography' section for the usual reason: that "album" is tied to the TV series, it's not "Joyner's". (Can maybe be mentioned in prose, but it certainly doesn't justify an entire section here!) Anyway, I got this one semi-protected recently, but it's clear that it's being edited by "fanish" editors, so the rest of us need to push back against this nonsense. Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:45, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Yup. Amaury • 19:13, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Your comments on "User: YoungForever reported by User:Bijdenhandje (Result: No action)" at WP:AN/EW

Thank you for vouching for me as an uninvolved editor. I feel like there is a vendetta against me in recent months. There was a similar 3RR/edit warring case against me just late October. Even my Talk page was vandalized several times. — YoungForever(talk) 00:02, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

@YoungForever: You're quite welcome. Amaury • 08:44, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Crashletes

Series was added to CBS All Access, and includes the season 3 episodes that never aired on TV. Not sure how exactly this would/should be handled, but just an FYI, the main page doesn't list any of S3. However, go to any full episode of the show and keep clicking 'Show more' below the video player and you'll see all the S3 episodes listed. Here's the episodes listed (image).

Also not sure what's up with the dates, but they all seem to be listed with the day before they actually aired (CBSAA lists "Gurley Girls" on February 2, 2019, but actually aired on February 3). Also not sure where the unaired S3 dates come from. My only guess would be their original planned airdates (possibly also off by a day like all the other episode dates listed). Pinging IJBall as well. Magitroopa (talk) 21:07, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

@Magitroopa: This seems like a pretty easy handle – split the season #3 table into a 'Part 1' and a 'Part 2', and all the season #3 episodes should be listed as "released" by CBS All Access on the date they were released there. (Not sure if there's an easy way to do this for half an episode table – we may have to use 'notes'.) The false "air dates" for the later S3 episodes should just be ignored... It would be good if we could find a secondary source for the season #3 release date on CBSAA, but there may not be one... P.S. I still need help from either/both of you at Talk:Unleashed (TV series). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:14, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

I don't think we need to overcomplicate things by sectioning the table. A note, like those used on List of Kickin' It episodes or List of Lab Rats episodes, for the episodes that never aired on Nickelodeon should be sufficient for all dates after May 3, 2019. Something like: "This date is when CBS All Access released the episode. This episode never aired on Nickelodeon." Amaury • 21:29, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

I think in this case a 'Part 1' and a 'Part 2' is definitely warranted – this is akin to half a season airing on another TV network. We should not pretend that season #3 was a "continuous season", because it wasn't – half of it was burned off on a streaming service (more than a year later). There is a clear "discontinuity" in that season. We should not hide or sugar-coat that fact. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:34, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Another FYI – TheDeadRatInTheCornerOfMyRoom52 has readded everything I previously reverted. I had said (in my edit summary) that the info was 'likely bogus', but that was when the S3 episodes were not yet listed on the main page and was prior to me finding the episodes listed when viewing the 'Show more' section below the video player for a full episode.

I'm certain each of the airdates for the CBSAA releases don't need the citation, but I'm not sure how other things should be handled that they changed such as the network in the infobox (Now listing a 3A/3B) and the viewership section. Feel free to do whatever fixes/changes whenever possible. Magitroopa (talk) 05:03, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

OK, I've cleaned this up. I did divide the season #3 table into "Parts", but it should be noted that the word "Part" can be removed from the header, and we can just leave the "network"/"streamer" as the header – Amaury may prefer it that way, and I can easily change it to that if that's preferred. For now, I have left the "ref" to CBS.com, though "merged" into one source using WP:REFNAME, though it should be noted that this actually does not verify the Dec. 15 "release date", so we need another source for this. However, I've looked, and I don't see a reliable secondary source for this info – just sites like Nickalive have the release date, and they're not WP:RSs. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 07:45, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

@Magitroopa: I've left the user in question a level 3 warning for disruption. They've already been blocked at least once, and it seems to me that they're either WP:NOTHERE or WP:CIR. The huge majority of their edits are disruptive. Amaury • 08:37, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Breanna Yde

May need you here – another fanish editor who doesn't understand how Wikipedia, WP:BLP, or WP:BRD works. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:30, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Pup Academy

Hiya. I don't see any visible difference between the infobox in my edit vs yours. Perhaps you can explain what you see as the issue? Also, your comment of Quit using visual editor. It screws everything up is unhelpful - VE is a tool and while not perfect, is a great way of widening editor participation - expecting people to be fluent (or have any desire to use) markup code in 2020 is setting ourselves up to fail. We absolutely should not be deriding people for using a more accessible interface. I think you may want to reconsider the comment as while I'm thick-skinned enough to absorb it, it would probably come across bitey if directed to a newer editor. Best, Darren-M talk 17:20, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

My comment wasn't directed at you. It was directed at the other user who was being disruptive. Amaury • 17:24, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Amaury, I don't see what you were trying to correct, though? And I think my comments stand irrespective of who they were addressed to. Best, Darren-M talk 17:33, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
