Happy new year! In the vein of the Tunebat discussion held open one and a half Marches ago I present to you another one which might be dubious verification: DNA Helix. The article with the website used as a reference? Jimmy Neutron that is, with the source being an archived forum thread under Conception and creation subsection which dates back to June 24, 1998! Should it be refrained as a source? Please respond.
Happy new year,

I changed the ratings listed on the episode page cause the sources were stating differently and they did not look like they were going above 1 million after the swap to Disney XD so claiming they did go above a million means you didn't check your sources correctly.

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:List of Raven's Home episodes § "Mad About Yuletide" episode. I know you've explained the whole "&" vs "and" before, and I'm not 100% sure if the reason I gave is correct. Amaury • 23:40, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
Can you check this article for me? We've got an editor who keeps on adding a portrait image that I'm pretty sure is a WP:COPYVIO. You're better at figuring this stuff out than I am, so it would be good if you could take a look. Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:36, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
In case you are not already aware, I have merged to content of the various Mickey Mouse Clubhouse "season" articles (e.g. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (season 1)) to the List of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes article – none of these were justified as being standalone TV season articles. Also, merging them to the LoE articles should make "vandal fighting" easier (and this show seems like another perennial target of IP vandals). Just so you know. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:04, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
I'm concerned about this user. I thought it was named-account socker, but it look like it's likely some kind of block evasion from 73.235.14.165 that was blocked one month ago. I suspect this may go deeper than this, but I'm not sure how to check. (The various pro-/anti-MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE edits is a hallmark recurring behavior.) So I thought I should let you know. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 06:23, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Need more eyes here – co-writing a (single?) song doesn't make "songwriter" a notable profession for this subject, and she definitely doesn't qualify as a singer-songwriter. Ping Amaury as well. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:02, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Geraldo, can you find anything that confirms that it was Jace Norman who voiced this film?! They are claiming he was credited under a pseudonym, which means his participation would have to be independently sourced, but I can't find anything to verify this after a quick search. Thoughts? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:44, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Geraldo, I'd like to check the contributions for the IP range that includes 2600:8800:F00:400C:9466:8839:565A:A709 – how would I do that? (I don't understand the /24 and /16 stuff!) TIA. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:38, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Seems to be wholesale changing character names at numerous articles. Likely ignoring "names as per credits". Don't know if this M.O. matches any other IP disruptor/vandal. But I'm making you aware. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:38, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
You need to calm down with the talk page warnings, mate. 217.32.179.205 (talk) 21:00, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
I just discovered that my adult autistic daughter has been editing Wikipedia articles. She makes lists from IMDb of animated series and movies with their release dates and memorizes them. When she sees a discrepancy between the release dates on IMDb and Wikipedia, she tries to change Wikipedia; or if Wikipedia only has the month and year of release, she tries to add the day. I've spoken to her about it and she says she won't do it again. Sparkmadley (talk) 05:06, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Another IP mass changing the distributor parameter based on company name changes and ignoring template documentation. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:36, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
The ever-popular adding claims of "flash animated" to articles. There were previous warnings, so I just left a Level 4 UW. But these additions all need to be mass-reverted. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:28, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Rio 2 § Big Boss's fate. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 20:40, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
Note that Special Agent Oso (series 1) and Special Agent Oso (series 2) are invalid articles – they are both insufficient as "season" articles, and they are actually redundant with the content at List of Special Agent Oso episodes.
Because some content from the season articles will have to be merged to the LoE article, this is too big a job for me to tackle right now. But I wanted you to be aware that this is an issue that needs to be fixed at some point. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:32, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Hola, Sr. Perez. Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:174.250.160.41, no idea who the person who troubled you circa December was. We assume he/she was the previous holder of this dynamic IP address. We ourselves only rarely contribute edits, and we always do so for constructive purposes. Estamos con vosotros. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.250.160.41 (talk) 22:40, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
Will probably need help with a vandal at this article, as I'm already at 3 reverts. Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:58, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
@MPFitz1968 and IJBall: I've just reverted another attempt to move this page, especially given that the RFC last year to move it was rejected. Amaury • 02:37, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
In the article's history, I see four accounts listed in the February 8 entries, all of whom made the same kind of disruptive edit about the show's ending or cancellation by inserting the end date in the infobox (with the same format, "September 11, 2020", as opposed to the templates we usually use for that). I checked each account's creation time, and all of them were created on February 8, two in the space of less than 15 minutes, and the other two in the space of less than 30 minutes, but overall about 12 hours apart. This is clearly a red flag, and I'm tempted to report sockpuppetry here, though I'm not sure any of these is the sockmaster. Any thoughts? MPFitz1968 (talk) 09:06, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Follow-up: All four accounts have been indef blocked, and are confirmed sockpuppets of User:Lizen543t4565y6. MPFitz1968 (talk) 18:03, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
While the article for the TV series and most of the actors with wikilinks in the cast section are all currently semiprotected, there's one more actor's article, Albert Tsai, that needs some watching. I just reverted another instance of "2018–2020" under the Coop & Cami entry in that article back to "2018–present" . I just hope I didn't re-awaken the current army of sockpuppetry across all these actor articles. MPFitz1968 (talk) 20:44, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
Is this acceptable sourcing for this? – It's a primary source, but it doesn't really verify what they're claiming (WP:SYNTH?).
I suspect there is a source for this (probably in a book somewhere), but what this editor keeps coming up with looks to fall short... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:37, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
Persistent vandalism here from an IP editor geolocating to Wales – this is too big a range to range block, isn't it? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:14, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Some poor stuff for a WP:BLP had been snuck in there. I think I've cleared that all out, and have cleaned up the article. But if you're watching it, keep an eye out for IPs trying to sneak the unsourced WP:DOB or the poorly sourced ethnicity stuff back in there... Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:44, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
She has co-written some of her songs from her albums, and some of them have their own Wikipedia article. Is that not enough to justify notability as a songwriter? Heymid (contribs) 16:47, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
More WP:DE from this IP related to anachronistically adding, or changing to, CBS Media Ventures as a "distributor" of TV shows. May be related to Special:Contributions/213.194.183.49. May also be related to SigKauffman (though this is less certain)... Anyway, all of the IP's edits from today should be reverted – Amaury and I already got a couple of them. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:10, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
I noticed something I don't feel is accurate on Destiny's Child. It says: "Though group members have claimed that the name was taken from a passage in the Book of Isaiah,[8] the phrase does not appear in any published English translation of the Bible, and more likely originated in the 1967 Waylon Jennings song of the same name." And, I think it should be edited. None of the members mentioned that 60s song or claimed the phrase "Destiny's Child", which is what sentence seemingly implies, orginated in the Bible, just the word "destiny" itself. The "child" was added later, because there was another group already using "Destiny" as a name. So I think instead of "Though group members have claimed that the name was taken from a passage in the Book of Isaiah, the phrase does not appear in any published English translation of the Bible, and more likely originated in the 1967 Waylon Jennings song of the same name." It could say "The group members have claimed that the name was taken from a passage in the Book of Isaiah; per Texas Monthly "Tina pulled out a Bible and found the word “destiny.” Mathew added “child.”" Link: https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/its-a-family-affair/
What do you think? I was actually thinking about including on the Tina Knowles page, as they've always credited her with naming them "Destiny". Should I? By the way, we talked last time I edited her a few days ago (my ip just changed again lol). 2600:1702:2A40:3E40:C07C:AEEF:209C:36E0 (talk) 19:00, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
You're right, I need to stop using disruptive editing. Thanks for telling me that.--MLJ 657 (talk) 23:48, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
This time at 2600:1702:3180:5E70:4F3:B799:7346:3FDD. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:47, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
You actually raise a good point there. Also, the parameter is called picture_format, and since HDTV is the actual format, perhaps that should be all that's there for all television series by technicality of the parameter name. I always thought the format and resolution were connected to each other, but they're two different things. I guess one could also argue that we don't even need that parameter since HD is virtually the standard. Although, of course, there are still people who have SD televisions, perhaps because they're in the lower class and can sadly barely afford necessities, let alone a more expensive television, or because they're in developing countries or a plethora of other reasons. So HD is the standard/default, but networks or providers—whoever is responsible for the definition and resolution—still supply an SD signal in addition to the HD signal for those people. Then again, I haven't seen one article that uses SD for that parameter, at least those that I watch. I've only seen HD used for that parameter, so maybe we would be fine without that parameter at all as people would just assume HD since that's what networks or providers primarily supply, even though they also supply an SD signal.

Pretty sure this is the same as 2601:81:C402:AD20:18B4:AFD3:8BF1:2BC0 that was blocked in early Feb. for the same behavior, and is the same vandal that has been vandalizing episodes tables of "season 1's" of TV series going back at least 6 months. I'd advise reporting to WP:AIV as repeating the same behavior since release of block. And maybe a range block is possible here?... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:21, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
As per my Talk page, I would say this one is ripe for a block at this point. Purely WP:DE and nothing else. I just gave them a Level 4 warning – anything they do from this point forward should be fair game for WP:AIV. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:44, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Re: these edits – just so you are aware, this is a long-term pattern of "figure vandalism" at this article. It was originally changed to 8.1 a long time ago. Then I sourced the article, and discovered that no source quotes that figure (they all quote 8 million, or "7.8 million"). So it's pretty clearly a made up number, and thus vandalism. I haven't looked for an editing pattern (or for socking evidence), but this is all clearly the same editor. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 05:18, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
This isn't just a WP:NOTBROKEN issue – it appears that the anachronistically incorrect listing of 20th Century "20th Television" must include hundreds of TV series articles, many of which you and I are not aware of. I almost think this requires a WP:AWB solution, except that the mass changing of 20th Century "20th Television" back to 20th Century Fox Television probably runs afoul of the AWB rules against using it simply for "gnoming"-type edits like this... But this clearly requires a "bigger solution", because it's affecting far too many articles for a couple of editors to deal with. (Ditto the similar issue with CBS Television media entities.) I'm kind of at a loss about what to do about this. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:55, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
distributor
is listed as distributor
parameter blank, because they were never rerun anywhere in the U.S., and a decent percent of them were never distributed overseas either. But I suspect a good chunk of these have something (erroneously) listed in the distributor
parameter. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:46, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
I think this article needs monitoring, as well as the editor who has made recent edits here. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:52, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
Geraldo, there was previously a (blocked?) editor who used to do this – "😡😡😡" – a lot in their edit summaries. Do you remember who this was?... IP 174.95.202.88 did this in an edit back in February, and I know I've seen this before, so I'm assuming this is the return of a problematic editor, probably one that already has a "block" history... Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:35, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
An editor has now twice added a controversy section, but I find it unnecessary. This seems akin to the people who were insistent on adding a controversy section on Bella and the Bulldogs (Talk:Bella and the Bulldogs/Controversy). The content of the controversies between the two series is obviously different, but I feel like at its base, it's the same issue. Details on this controversy would belong better on Stephen Hillenburg, just like details on the Jonathan Butler "controversy" would belong better on his page, though in his case, he doesn't have an article, but still. Although in the case of the Jonathan Butler "controversy"—and why I am putting it in quotes—it doesn't even belong at all because it was a fake controversy created by some person who thought Jonathan Butler couldn't separate his adult production work from his children's production work. Amaury • 00:36, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
I just want to say that you did a great job editing Bigfoot Family as it was one of my favourite movies to watch!
Also, Some of my changes were reverted so do you know anything about that? I think it was a bot but I am not sure.
Thanks again,
--185.9.34.127 (talk) 12:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
What kind of IP is that? First time I've seen it. Amaury • 09:02, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Need more eyes here. Editors are trying to add material that is certainly defamatory about another individual. And the sourcing being used to support it is weak. Need more experienced editors to keep an eye on this. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:24, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Don't know if you think it's worth it to back me up here, but this edit is not an improvement, and it's weird that this relatively new named account has come out of nowhere to back up a disruptive IP editor with zero comment. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:32, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
OK, so I decided to check for myself – according to Disney+, How to Build a Better Boy is listed as a "1 hour, 34 minutes" runtime, which is 94 minutes, not 109 minutes or 93 minutes (which is what the IP put). For the others, Disney+ has Zapped as "1 hour, 35 minutes" which is actually 95 minutes, and neither 102 minutes (nor 92 minutes, which is what the IP put). It has Cloud 9 as "1 hour, 28 minutes", which is actually 88 minutes, and neither 85 or 87 minutes (the latter is what the IP put).
So, in all of these cases, the IP was wrong. But the currently listed runtimes also look wrong. So either, they are currently wrong, or these movies had a different runtime on Disney Channel when they originally aired (and I think this possibility is unlikely...).
Thoughts? Should we just change these to the listed Disney+ runtimes? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:33, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Latest IB television distributor
parameter vandal/disruptive editor. As before, some of these edits – like changing to Touchstone Television (original) – look valid. But a lot of it is either unsourced, trivial, or anachronistic... Dunno if this is the same editor that was doing edits like this before. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:19, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
You said that there are no flag icons allowed. When exactly was that some sort of rule that it can't be in the infobox. I don't understand why something like that is problematic to you. BornonJune8 (talk) 08:11, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
To clarify, do you think an artist must be solely credited for the writing of a song for him/her to be labelled a songwriter? Do those songs have to be notable enough for its own article as well? --Heymid (contribs) 14:00, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
@IJBall: This doesn't even appear to remotely meet even the most basics. How it's been around since August of last year is beyond me. Amaury • 19:49, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
I need some assistance if possible. In regards to the DuckTales character page, I'm debating whether to move Don Karnage from the Supporting Characters section over to the F.O.W.L. section. Even though he was only with them in "The Last Adventure!" and technically in "The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!", I don't know if that's enough to warrant the move since he wasn't with F.O.W.L. in his first two appearances.

We are concerned of your disruptive revert edits as you did. If you keep reverting again you may be blocked or banned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8081:500:F700:6861:B5D5:B3CF:152F (talk) 05:32, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at TommyInnit shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:45, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Disruptive editing on commas in date ranges. I'm pinging Amaury and MPFitz1968 as well, because I feel like we've seen this before, esp. the "citing" of an off-Wiki website on the subject – this may be a sock of an editor we've seen before, but I'm not sure. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:48, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
Geraldo and IJBall, do keep an eye out, per User talk:Simonrankin#March 2021. They've made it clear they're going to commit block evasion, regardless of whether or not they were already doing that, as I strongly suspect. Or, at least, they threatened to. Amaury • 17:01, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi again. I need help once more. How do I request page protection? The following IP address, 86.133.149.242 won't stop changing any and all instances of the term "latter" in the DuckTales character page. It's not vandalism, but the fact that they're still doing this even after I asked them to stop, their refusal to respond to my messages, and their refusal to accept that "latter" is a real term is getting really annoying. Please respond when you can and help me out with this before they resort to actual vandalism. Blazewing16 (talk) 00:21, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Seems to have created a couple of useless pages related to GLAAD. As with categories, my understanding is that you should have a minimum of 12 page before creating a category or template. See their contributions, linked in the header, as well as Category:GLAAD Media Award templates and Template:GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Kids and Family Programming.

Those edits I made to Swampy’s page weren’t unsourced. He made a Tik Tok video and said his full name in the end. It came from Swampy himself. I don’t see how that’s “unsourced” Filmmaker8306 (talk) 19:51, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

I know they aren't even listed on their respective pages (e.g. Raven's Home, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, Best Friends Whenever, Kickin' It, etc) and I always try to add them there, but you keep reverting. Here are some proof for you that they are ACTUAL production companies. I put some CLG Wiki links so you can find these logos on which shows they appear on (See "Availability" on those respective pages). I also wanted you to read this aswell before we can ACTUALLY put those companies on these shows' respective Wikipedia pages.

None of these links are reliable since all of them are full of user-generated contents under the guise of a repository for many end cards through TV film and even games just like the original which most likely had shut down in the middle of last year I believe. IJBall would rather take a closer peek at that.

I've been seeing recent additions to the Minor characters section, like . I'm looking at this section and going "Whoa! This is too big." It is clearly larger in the prose (as well as the table of contents) than either the main or recurring cast/characters sections. This looks like a section that can be seriously trimmed or removed altogether, though some mention of special appearances (like Jeanette McCurdy in the "Ponnie" season 3 episode) might be OK if brief. Thoughts? Pinging Amaury and IJBall. MPFitz1968 (talk) 18:20, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
Should categories added to articles be based only on the country of origin and original network? For example, Backstage (Canadian TV series). More specifically, its episode list. Would the category Category:Lists of Disney Channel television series episodes, which isn't currently listed there, still be appropriate since Disney Channel acquired the rights to air it or is that category only appropriate for Disney Channel originals? For example, something like Liv and Maddie, in which case, it shouldn't be added to the Backstage episode list? Amaury • 20:50, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
Is this even necessary? Don't we need at least 12 articles to be part of a template or category before creating? Second, based on the category name, only the main Jessie page and its List of Jessie episodes page would belong, which would make the category even more pointless. And, actually, only the parent article Jessie should be listed there based on the name, as per User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 24#Template:That's So Raven. I imagine what you said—in a diff I have linked in that message—applies to categories as well, not just templates. Amaury • 17:12, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Once again, a WP:BLP with a 'Discography' section that absolutely should not have one. Anyone can release a single. Nothing in this section is secondarily sourced. There is nothing in the article prose that indicates "singer" is in anyway a notable profession.
Why do we keep having to go through this? Why are we letting (presumably IP) editors continually add trivial, non-notable, and WP:UNDUE content to WP:BLPs? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:47, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
I didn’t mean to double-link on the page for Schneider's Bakery. Queen GameHackGirl (talk) 02:55, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
IP editor questionably changing cats to "children's" categories, almost certainly in contravention of WP:CATVER. I think this particular editor has possibly been doing this for weeks (probably from this range, not this specific IP). Almost certainly WP:DE on this. Likely needs to be mass-reverted, at least on the "children's" categories thing. May need a (range?) block. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:19, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
I know they've had a focus mainly on TV articles and I've seen you revert/warn them multiple times. Just letting you know I've opened an ANI discussion regarding this range at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Persistent WP:DE IP range. Magitroopa (talk) 21:50, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
Geraldo, my recollection is that this article has been a target of a previous vandal or sock... I don't remember the details, but I know we've had problems here before. Anyway, it seems to have taken on a renewed focus from a problematic IP – 69.127.80.35 (see IP's Talk page) – so I'm wondering if there might be a connection... Just letting you know. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:08, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Someone vandalized the image at this location (leading an IP to remove the image from the infobox at Game Shakers). I attempted to restore the clean version at the image location, but I'm still seeing the image that doesn't belong there. MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:39, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
This has been released on Disney+. A few things I notice – The episode listing is under "1 season", so it makes no "season" distinction. Second, unlike a lot of other streaming services, the original airdates are not listed on Disney+ (they don't seem to do this for any show, not even their recent ones), so it's no help with that. Finally, and this is the part that concerns me – the episode listing order on Disney+ is different that the current episode order listing at the Wikipedia article. I don't know what to do about this. Disney+ lists "Herstory in the Making" as "S1:E5", but I am a little skeptical about this as it does seem likely that this is the first episode of the series (or at least the first one broadcast...), and the U.S. Copyright office does have "Herstory in the Making" as episode "101" (or "1-01"). So, for now, I'm not going to touch the episode listing order at the Wikipedia article – for the correct order, we really do need the original air dates. (I may add some of the prod. codes from the U.S.C.O., if it's a slow day and I feel like it and I am bored.) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:53, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
@IJBall and MPFitz1968: I've already reverted quite a bit, but I need help mass reverting this IP. I don't know how far their disruption goes, date-wise, but they are violating WP:NOTBROKEN and WP:NOPIPE. Amaury • 02:23, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
Sorry I didn’t get the message wrong on Coco. DeBlockerMan G7 (talk) 17:31 (UTC)
@Amaury and MPFitz1968: Draft has been recreated. I believe all previous attempts have been from a banned socker – Cadeken. Report has already been filed at WP:SPI, but bears watching. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:47, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
May need more eyes here – edit warring IP is insisting on an edit that is both redundant with information that is already in the article, is not an improvement, and is vaguely WP:SYNTH-y to boot. They don't look to be dropping the stick, and I'm now at three reverts. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:14, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
The guy disrupting Babe and Pig Racing seems to have worked out that he can evade the threat of blocks and continue editing in the same way by shifting computer. I've just asked Gilliam if he'd consider blocking the whole range (as he has done in the past) to show that warnings have teeth too. Sweetpool50 (talk) 10:45, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
Here are the list of TV shows that Nick Jr. aired were cancelled. They are Corn & Peg, Top Wing, Rusty Rivets, and Butterbean's Café. All of these shows will not return. 2601:C2:4100:46E0:181B:6E4E:FD68:7634 (talk) 23:58, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
Semi-related to User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 24#Dove Cameron, though this was added earlier this year, so it seems we finally got direct confirmation there, though even there I would argue it would be nice to have a more official statement, but it's enough. I'm actually posting this based on the latest talk page discussion I saw. Like with Dove Cameron, Pink News is also being used here, which seems to be a gossip website, which we know is WP:NOTRS. And their source is just from the Twitter account of another gossip magazine or whatever, which isn't even verified. The video includes the quote "Who doesn’t think Harry Styles is cool? Also he’s hot, you know... This is also my coming out video I guess.
" I completely personally agree with the notion that, especially in 2021, coming out shouldn't be a big deal. In fact, I'd go father and say that there should be no coming out. Someone who is gay, for example, should be just that. I don't see straight people having to "come out." I'll stop here, though, before I end up ranting. I'll also note that is not the full quote. See here for the entire quote/line of compliments.
Now, the first two sentences of that quote are actually irrelevant, and all you'd need would be the last sentence. To elaborate on that, and I'll try to keep this short so I, again, don't end up ranting as this is a stereotype that still seems to exist which bothers me, though thankfully, not as much as it used to. There is absolutely nothing wrong with females and males complimenting each other. And I'm sure you've seen how two people, regardless of gender and sexuality, who are really good friends will often have their own inside jokes or just "inside statements" in general. So if two guys compliment each other and call each other "hot," it doesn't necessarily mean they're each not straight. They're just really close friends who are comfortable making statements like that about each other. Although a person can of course also make comments like that about someone they know of, but don't know personally, like a celebrity, in this case.
Anyway, to my point, can we use that as a source to back up that he's part of the LGBT community? If it came from Joshua Bassett directly, the video itself would be okay, as per WP:ABOUTSELF, the problem is it doesn't come from Joshua Bassett himself, it comes from an unverified Twitter—though even if it were verified, it wouldn't change anything, since it's a gossip magazine—and I checked his Twitter as well and found nothing. So the video itself is fine, just not who's providing it. I will note, too, that nothing in the video says which specific part of LGBT is, just that he's part of LGBT. So we don't know if he's gay, bi, trans, etc. Amaury • 18:05, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
although in context of agreeing with Stiles it is strongly implied that what Stiles stated is what he would have stated about himself too), are you talking about Harry Styles? Or are you referring to something else? I'm a little confused on what you're trying to say there. But I agree that all areas of Wikipedia should follow guidelines the same, with occasional exceptions being reached via local consensus, especially BLPs. However, the basics, such as sourcing, shouldn't have these exceptions. Things involving LGBT, death, cause of death—such as with Cameron Boyce—etc. should come from strong sourcing. Unfortunately, not all areas of Wikipedia follow things the same. Or, rather, as you stated in your last sentence, they do, but with weak sourcing. Amaury • 19:02, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Does this pass WP:GNG?... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:35, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
Based on recent edits at this article, I think there is a decent chance that Onezerothreefive7698 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and MrBlueBirdLover6 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) are the same editor – i.e. socks. I just filed an unrelated SPI recently, and won't have time to do another for several days, but at the least this bears watching... Pinging Amaury too. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:47, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
xSighx range is still at it... and still apparently unable to follow templates such as regarding writers here. Clearly hasn't learned from their two blocks about a month ago at this point. Magitroopa (talk) 20:14, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
Likely to need more eyes here. There are several things wrong with this IP's edit, starting with MOS:FILMCAST, followed by nothing in the film(s) confirm the connection to the comics character at all, so media speculation from 3 years ago confirms exactly nothing about this in any case (IOW, WP:ONUS applies). Also, be warned, they may be hitting Zendaya too, based on their latest edit summary. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:03, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
What is going on here?! While Glitter Force seems to be a real thing, and this seems like it may be a real project (but upcoming and not released yet), it is definitely not currently on Netflix, and certainly was not released in January of this year, so the "episodes listing" looks like a pure hoax. I also don't trust the cast section at all. Note that a lot of the questionable content looks to be the work of a single IPv6 editor... What should be done here? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:29, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
@IJBall and MPFitz1968: I just bought the complete series on PlayStation Network, as well as Lost in the West, the second season of Max & Shred since I didn't have Nicktoons at the time and therefore never had the chance to see it, and the three original The Karate Kid films. For Big Time Rush I may take advantage of it to cleanup the articles, but for now, like when I got the complete series of Boy Meets World, if you guys ever need me to verify anything, feel free to ask.
