Any thoughts on this?... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:56, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry. (I guess we're even now. :P) Yes, I agree. I think if we can get a source stating an exact premiere date or something similar, then we can move both of those to mainspace. Will ping Geraldo Perez as well for his thoughts. Amaury (talk | contribs) 17:07, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- Cool – I have added the {{Draft article}} template to both, as that usually makes it easier to find sourcing. (I found using one helped a lot to find sources for Descendants 3...) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:51, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- I just worked on Fast Layne – IMO, it's ready to go. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:21, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
Re: Your revert here
The IP put that into the Awards and Nominations table in an earlier edit, which didn't seem right, since I don't think there's a nominees list for this kind of thing. (Do you think it belongs in the table, BTW?) I incorporated it into prose at the start of the section ([1]). The IP was also improperly inserting the source into the article, which is here. MPFitz1968 (talk) 19:02, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
The way that the IP entered that into the table, with the category "Television with a Conscience", had me scratching my head. It's not mentioned at all in the aforementioned source, and I'm not sure it's even a category with these honors. The prose under Television Academy Honors (part of the article Academy of Television Arts & Sciences) shows this: The Television Academy Honors were established in 2008 to recognize "Television with a Conscience"—television programming that inspires, informs, motivates and even has the power to change lives.
MPFitz1968 (talk) 19:13, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- Update: Looks like the IP attempted to add it to the table again ([2]), but another editor decided to keep it there and move the source ([3]). MPFitz1968 (talk) 19:29, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- @MPFitz1968: If it's not mentioned in the source, then it should be entirely removed. The IP in which case should be warned for addition of unsourced content. Amaury (talk | contribs) 19:36, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- The honor is mentioned in the source (one of seven programs to be recognized this year by the Television Academy); the "Television with a Conscience" part, as the name of the category as currently shown in the table, isn't. MPFitz1968 (talk) 19:40, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
I caught them readding an actress in one episode as a guest star where you said that she isn't. ([4]) As I don't have access to the episode in question, I'm guessing you're correct in saying that she is not a guest star. BTW, I've given User:Login expert a warning for edit-warring, as this is their fourth edit with the same content in under 24 hours, and should be reported to ANEW next time. MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:08, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- @MPFitz1968: Thanks. Yes, I can confirm as it was a recent episode. Additionally, I always look over the credits two or three additional times to make sure I don't miss anything, particularly when adding guest stars. Amaury (talk | contribs) 16:11, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Is this edit accurate? TIA. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:06, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
- @IJBall: No idea. I've still only seen the first episode. Perhaps Rtkat3 or Elijah Abrams could confirm as I'm sure they've seen more episodes than I have. Amaury (talk | contribs) 20:13, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
- It is, but you may want to add (voice) after the role since it is a cartoon series. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:16, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
TVmaze
Hi Amaury, Is Tvmaze.com a reliable source for episode titles? I could not find any archives on Tvmaze.com. The only ones that I know are reliable are Zap2it and The Futon Critic. — Lbtocthtalk 15:56, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Lbtocth: Hm. No idea. Geraldo Perez might know. Amaury (talk | contribs) 16:15, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Lbtocth: Based on [5] and "TVmaze is a community of TV lovers and dedicated contributors that discuss and help maintain tv information on the web." on that site, it looks like an user contribution source. Between Futon giving historical info and Zap2it being fairly forward looking, if a source has info that neither of those have I'd be suspicion of where they are getting their information. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:32, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Geraldo Perez: Recently, I saw 2 T.V. shows (I forgot which ones) are using the Tvmaze.com and I thought Tvmaze.com is a questionable source to be used for episode titles. — Lbtocthtalk 17:40, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Lbtocth: I didn't see any discussion in WP:RSN archives about this site. In my opinion I'd say not a reliable source and it is likely it is getting information from other sources we can't use like IMDb and Wikis and anonymous editors of that site. Official info gets sent out fairly quickly and picked up by normal program guides. For a more formal reading on this site would need to ask about it on RSN. Other articles should not be using this source. Damage to Wikipedia for using it is mild, though, as the episode actually airing overrides its necessity as a reference. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:48, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Geraldo Perez: Thanks. I thought it is unreliable as well because it seems that TV maze get their source from IMDb. — Lbtocthtalk 20:42, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey, could you please keep an eye on this article for a little while – we have a potentially problematic editor (this one has already tangled with both NeilN and Alex before) who is ignoring both WP:BRD and WP:BLP. I'm going to also ping Ebyabe who tends to follow BLP's as much as I do. Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:28, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- WP:DE continues here. Editor seems unable to fathom several points, incl. that the article is about Tiera S. not her sister, and that Talk page discussion is necessary... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:00, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Geraldo Perez: I've reported them to ANEW, but in the meantime, could we get some additional backup? Thanks. Amaury (talk | contribs) 15:19, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Just reverted an edit by User:Harmony944 at that page, and included policies for them to check in my edit summary. MPFitz1968 (talk) 15:33, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you, MPFitz1968. I can speak for both IJBall and myself when I say we appreciate it. Feel free to add any thoughts you have on the ANEW report. Amaury (talk | contribs) 15:34, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- @IJBall, MPFitz1968, and Geraldo Perez: Blocked now. Case resolved, at least for 48 hours. Based on their comments on their talk page, it's likely they'll continue once the block lifts. Amaury (talk | contribs) 15:45, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
I've now spoken my piece at Talk:Tiera Skovbye. If anyone seeing this wishes to add anything, feel free. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:43, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
If copyright also means source of information, does this page help? [6] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.140.2 (talk) 04:08, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- Even if you source an episode summary, it is still a copyright violation. Episode summaries must be in your own words, and that can only be done once an episode airs. Amaury (talk | contribs) 04:11, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

I've opened an ANI discussion about Steven0306. The thread is User:Steven0306 - lack of competency. --AussieLegend (✉) 06:24, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey, do you know if Mace Coronel was in "Quadentity Crisis" (ep. #4.8)? 'Cos, based on the promos, I don't think Coronel is likely to be in "Quadbusters" (ep. #4.9) this week... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:09, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- @IJBall: "Quadentiy Crisis," yes. Promo. From the promo I saw, he'll be in "Quadbusters" as well. See a pic here. From what I recall, he wasn't in the last four production episodes. Amaury (talk | contribs) 14:18, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- I added to the article from the main source about this, that he wouldn't be in approx. the last 5 episodes. FWIW. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:20, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
@IJBall: If you're interested, the promo for the first episode without Dicky first aired during the last commercial during Star Falls. So if you're interested, tune into Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn and Star Falls tonight, starting at 8:00 PM. You know what's dumb, though? Nickelodeon's odd scheduling. The first production episode without Dicky is 411, right? And yet, production episode 410 has yet to air. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:04, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- It's clear that when Coronel left the show, they went back to the editing room, and recut episodes to spread him out over more – because the original Deadline Hollywood article implied that he would be absent from the last 5 episodes, but it ended up being just the last 4 – i.e. he should have been absent from 410–414, but it looks like he'll only be absent from 410 & 412–414. That tells me that they re-edited episodes to spread his scenes out – so, somehow, they were able to add him to 411, but not 410. Go figure... --IJBall (contribs • talk)
- @IJBall: On the subject... here. Amaury (talk | contribs) 04:14, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- I am curious to know how they'll explain Dicky's "absence" (or whether they'll even bother...). Let me know what the ultimate answer is... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:16, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- @IJBall: You want the revert honor on the LOE this time? Amaury (talk | contribs) 04:31, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

@IJBall: Now, I could tell you, but where's the fun in that? Guess you'll just have to tune in tonight at 8:00 PM. What I will tell you, though, is that the replacement wasn't given a starring role and is just a guest star. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:12, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
Hey, I dunno if you saw this, but Variety mentions some of the new season #3 casting for this show there. FYI. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:27, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
- @IJBall: Interesting that they never actually announced the renewal. Disney Channel is losing it. Amaury (talk | contribs) 13:54, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
- Done. Amaury (talk | contribs) 14:46, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
Related discussion: Boy Meets World (season 7) from May 2018
@MPFitz1968: Looks like QuasyBoy is taking care of correcting credits there and in the other seasons as well. That should help with the ones you asked about, and sorry again for never getting around to it. And, QuasyBoy, thanks for the help. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:50, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Not a problem, there is still a lot more work to be done, though. QuasyBoy (talk) 02:31, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
Hulu picks up a bunch of NICK shows: [7] Bah! I'm not much of a Hulu fan... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:49, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- Related to this – this needs to be expanded upon, to include the Nickelodeon airing info. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:17, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
- And this, as well... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:19, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
- @IJBall: You mean something along the lines of what's currently stated in the lead? For example, the series premiered on March 12, 2016, and ended on April 8, 2018. Amaury (talk | contribs) 03:44, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
- Yes – remember the lede is supposed to summarize the article. So, the specifics of the "broadcast" info (both in the U.S., and internationally), is supposed to be in the 'Broadcast' (or 'Release') section, and then the lede is supposed to summarize this. For example, the dates of specific season premieres & finales should not be in the lede, but can/should probably be in the 'Broadcast' section. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:50, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
- @IJBall: I thought season premieres—and finales—were for the Production section. But, anyway, something like this?
On June 25, 2018, it was announced that School of Rock will stream on Hulu. Before this, the series and first season premiered on Nickelodeon on March 12, 2016. The first season concluded on June 18, 2016. The second season premiered on September 17, 2016, and concluded on January 28, 2017. The third season premiered on July 8, 2017, and concluded on April 8, 2018, which also served as the series finale.
Amaury (talk | contribs) 04:02, 26 June 2018 (UTC)- Flip that order – the broadcast TV info goes first (it's the "primary medium"). Streaming info, after the fact is "secondary" (it's akin to old-style "rerun syndication"...) – in fact, that might even merit going in a second paragraph... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:08, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

School of Rock first premiered on Nickelodeon on March 12, 2016, following the Kids' Choice Awards. The first season concluded on June 18, 2016. The second season premiered on September 17, 2016, and concluded on January 28, 2017. The third season premiered on July 8, 2017, and concluded on April 8, 2018, which also served as the series finale.
On June 25, 2018, it was announced that School of Rock will stream on Hulu.

- Yes – provided that's all sourced, something along those lines... P.S. 'Production' is definitely where renewals (and cancellations) should be covered; but 'Broadcast' is really where you should cover when seasons premiered and aired and ended, etc. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:17, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
- @IJBall: In which case, it should defs be "Broadcast," which is also listed after "Production." Also, that's something that should probably be worked on, then, at least for the articles with a "Broadcast" section. Those without one, season premiere and finale dates are probably fine under "Production." Amaury (talk | contribs) 04:20, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Re: this: it's more that it's just "unsourced" – it's that it's non-notable!! That was basically the "prototype" for The Adventures of Kid Danger – IOW, The Adventures of Kid Danger credit listing basically covers this. It is totally non-notable, and should not be included there, under the general principle of "NOT IMDb" (i.e. WP:INDISCRIMINATE). (Sidenote: I've got to finish my NOT IMDb essay one of these days! – I found that the absence of an essay like this has continued the incidence of problematic editing at various article Filmographies!...). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:36, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
OK, while I have recorded the season #3 premiere of this, I still have not had time to watch it. Anyway, can you tell me if any of the previous recurring characters – Murphy, Griff, Lydia, and especially Gladys or Hazel – have actually shown up at all in season #3? Griff, esp. seems like a character that probably only shows up in season #2... TIA. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:38, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- @IJBall: Only three guest stars so far, one of them being one listed above: List of Bunk'd episodes#Season 3 (2018). Amaury (talk | contribs) 20:45, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, OK, so Murphy is legit "recurring". I know Gladys was mentioned by name in the promo, but I'm also not surprised she hasn't shown up. But I'm really surprised they even apparently dumped Hazel (and Lydia) – really does not make me want to watch season #3, that's for sure... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:56, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
