ABC News link
editHello, Just dropping a line regarding Special:Diff/1232488936. The pipe was basically in preparation for a pending move where the baseline ABC News would be moved and converted to a disambiguation page (differentiating ABC News (Australia) among others (Talk:ABC_News#Requested_move_18_June_2024). Anyway, it looks like this might get reversed (User_talk:BilledMammal#ABC_News_move), making this moot, but I just wanted to explain. -2pou (talk) 00:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- @2pou: Oof. I've spent a little bit of time reading up on this situation now. Can open, worms everywhere. Leaving aside the specifics, I'd just like to say that a more descriptive edit summary than 'pipe' would have helped avoid my reverting your edit (and subsequently my revert being reverted by another editor). Something like 'Redirecting following closed move discussion at PAGE', say. Then - regardless of any rights or wrongs - I would at least have seen enough reason to leave until the dust settles, as were. This is only a suggestion; if you look at my edit history you'll see it comes from the basis that I'm a bit fan of clear and descriptive edit summaries.

Doctor Who SDCC Panel
editIt appears my edit summary was cut off in the page history so I Just wanted to provide the full edit summary I had written here really fast: WP:ROUTINE is a notability guideline for articles on events, that doesn't fall within the scope of this article as it's not about an event. This is confirmed by the part of WP:N that says "notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article." Note the part of routine that says "events [...] may be better covered as part of another article", this is that other article. ROUTINE would only apply to this if we were perhaps writing an article called "Doctor Who at the 2024 Comic Con". Regardless, it's not routine as the last DW SDCC panel was in 2018.
The relevant notability page for series 14 would be WP:NTV (which albeit, is an essay not a guideline, so WP:N technically). Notability guidelines purely cover whether the article is worthy for a topic, not for the content within said article once notability is established. TheDoctorWho (talk) 16:46, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your heads'-up, and your kind words. Goodness, you've done a lot of work and checking on it. I would think the advert tag can come off now, if you agree? I'll have another look through it next week, though not sure I can add anything to your very thorough effort. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 00:05, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Editing others' comments
editWIth regard to this edit, please mind WP:OTHERSCOMMENTS. If you have concerns, you may rise them at AN/I (see this thread). Gitz (talk) (contribs) 22:52, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- You posted this message while I was in the process of writing a message on your own talk page. For clarity's sake, I will copy part of my response here that makes it clear that this was not a WP:OTHERSCOMMENTS violation.
OTHERSCOMMENTS gives an example of appropriately editing others' comments saying Removing prohibited material such as libel; legal threats; personal details; content that is illegal under US law; or violations of copyright, living persons, or anti-promotional policies. (emphasis mine).

- Yes. Claiming that the sentence
If Khelif has DSDs, then writing a Wikipedia article suggesting that she doesn't is not only poor WP editing, but also another way to further victimise her
violates WP:BLP, and therefore should be removed from a talk page discussion, is absurd. Several RSes mention or discuss that possibility, so we should be allowed to deal with it and take it into account, if we want to write an informed and balanced BLP.
