Here you stated using Twitter as sources is unreliable. Although, one part of your reasons made no sense to me: "Especially notable is that this is not a verified Twitter account."
Can you expand that please? Thanks,

Emily Silver is a writer for the TV series she is providing information thus she is an "expert on the subject matter"- Yes, Emily Silver may well be but the reader cannot verify that the Twitter account is actually that of Emily Silver, and that is the problem.
How can you possibly assume what's been posting is false when she posts- I'm not assuming it is false, you are assuming that it is correct. A reader trying to verify one of these tweets is only going to see the particular tweet, not the entire history of the Twitter account holder. A reader shouldn't have to have to research the entire history to be able to verify. These tweets are primary sources and WP:PRIMARY says
A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge.Knowing the history of the Twitter user is specialised knowledge beyond what WP:PRIMARY permits.
it's absurd to think someone who writers for the TV series in question is "unreliable"Nobody said that. The problem here remains that since the account is not verified, we don't actually know that the person posting the content is actually the person they claim to be. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 15:23, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

I would be asking you to self-revert if someone had not already reverted you- Given that the reversion happened 15 hours ago, I'm wondering why you'd even bring that up now. At this point I'm still convinced it's a copyvio, but if you disagree then that's fine. Leave it in the article but I just don't want to have anything to do with it any more. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 15:37, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
I've noticed there has been a lot of disruptive edits recently from unregistered users on the "Dance moms" and its seasons articles. They always make 2 edits so users without rollback can't undo all their disruptive edits. Is it possible to semi-protect these pages to prevent unregistered users editing them? From the edits it appears to be the same editor using different IP addresses. Thanks -- Sgcosh ( talk) 12:36, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I just had a few questions regarding MythBusters. For episode titles, I noticed that on Wikipedia an episode is titled "Hindenburg Mystery", which is spelled correctly, but the official Discovery website has a typo that spells it with an e instead of a u. I also noticed that there is a mistake where they titled the second "Alaska Special" identically to the first (see [2] and [3]). What should be done in these two situations? Also, I had a question reguarding the Adam Savage (American) article. It looks as though someone created Adam Savage (British), but is this the correct way to differentiate? I feel as though nationality is not usually used in this scenario. Thanks!

Hi, I'm just popping by to ask for your opinion on something. I know we've had our differences, but I think ultimately we both an accurate and constructive editing processing on Wiki. In the latest two episodes of Code Black (TV series), three characters have gained new roles. User:Drmargi believes that by referencing these new roles in the character descriptions, WP:TV standards are being breached. She believes only the original roles of a character should be mentioned, despite an evolving narrative, and indeed, narrative purpose. The differences, of course, are minor, but in order to maintain an accurate encyclopedia, they are necessary. Drmargi is insistent on reverting.
My version of the page: [6] Drmargi's version: [7] Comparison: [8]

do not use colored text or background unless its status is also indicated using another method such as an accessible symbol matched to a legend, or footnote labels. Otherwise, blind users or readers accessing Wikipedia through a printout or device without a color screen will not receive that information.The purpose of colour in these tables is not stated at all. It is purely decorative and unencyclopaedic. As for the time slot, look at the tables above and tell me something based on inclusion of that information. Why is the program being aired at 9PM on Sunday when its highest ratings were in the 8:30PM time slot. My point here is that, without further analysis, the time slot does not provide any encyclopaedic information. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 01:40, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Your last revert of my edit on Pacific Highway (Australia) was not justified. The end of the Pacific Motorway is Brunswick Heads, not Ewingsdale, as per the Gazette ( http://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/Government-Gazette-10-May-2013.pdf).
The only reason Ewingsdale is mentioned in any of these articles is that, for a time, that is where the M1 route ended. However the route from Brunswick Heads to Ewingsdale is not a part of the Pacific Motorway.
You cannot use the Gazette as the source of truth for route numbers. While there are recent examples where the new gazetted name has a route name and a number ("M1 Pacific Motorway"), there is no requirement for route numbers to be gazetted and the overwhelming majority of them are not.
Given that all signs on the Pacific Highway from Brunswick Heads to Ballina are marked as M1, and there is no official source to my knowledge that says it is called A1, the article should list this section as M1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ausmeerkat ( talk • contribs) 03:28, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello AussieLegend! I have a question for you – I am nearly positive that including "guest cast" appearances in TV series 'Cast' lists was recently deprecated as per a discussion at, I think, WT:TV – by any chance could you point me to the relevant discussion?

Hi AussieLegend. I saw you've deleted my notes about several Grammy wins in the winners & nominees section, stating that these quotes were misplaced. I'm curious why these notes were misplaced - one or two notes on winners in a specific genre field (e.g. Pop, Rock, etc.) belong in the section belonging to that genre field, which was exactly what I did. If I put them elsewhere on the page, the link between those notes and the winners in a specific genre field may not be clear. That's why I'd like to revert those changes. Zighlveit ( talk) 16:20, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
I see. I understand what you mean, so my phrasing was bad "we can assume"... Indeed I also contribute to several Wikia (in addition to Wikipedia in Fr, Sp & Eng), so that may come from there... If you look at the production code (=order of episodes produced), then you don t need to assume anything anymore... My thought process was: hair short in between episodes of long hair-> must belong to old season -> go check on Internet -> boom, production codes confirm my hypothesis. Hypothesis is thus not an hypothesis anymore and one can drop the "assume".
Just like the episode order is displayed very prominently on that page, production order is worth noting, especially when very different from airing order.

Hello User:AussieLegend, I edited Monster Bug Wars , but I'm not sure how many seasons of the show there are. Before I edited the article it said that season 1 started on March 29 2011 and ended on May 3 2011, but the Season 1 section list episodes that aired in 2012 and 2015 also.

Hi, Aussie, There's a bit of a disagreement at the moment over at CSI. User:Drmargi believes that on-screen credits, production codes, and the existence of two separate scripts do not count as evidence for "Immortality" being two episodes shown together in one block. In this situation, what does count as evidence? Shouldn't the scripts, production codes, and on-screen titles be enough? -- Unframboise ( talk) 02:30, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello AussieLegend,
The reason I removed the content "warm summers, mild winters" from the article Sydney is that that statement is based on opinion. I realise that you copied that from the source, but all that phrase says is that the author of the source considers Sydney's climate to be like that. There is no objective classification for those terms, and they are based solely on personal comfort levels. Personally, for example, I would say Sydney has coolish winters and coolish summers, which is not the same as what was there. According to Wikipedia's own neutrality rules, opinions and personal synthesis are to be left out of articles.
If it had said, "According to XYZ climate classification system, Sydney has warm summers and mild winters", it would have been different since here it is clearly stated as the opinion of XYZ. However, this was not the case, hence why I removed it from the article.
Thank you,

Hi I've returned the statement of Arthurs Seat's indigenous name of Wonga to the lede of the article. Wonga is the most common indigenous name for the landmark by far - I was there two days ago where a plaque describes the indigenous heritage and name, and online resources only know it by this name (though they are few). I added the information about the other two names to the article as a matter of interest, more than anything else. They certainly do not have equal weighting and the last one (Tubberrubberbil) is spurious and should probably be deleted anyway. In fact I think that is the only online source which makes any reference to other names at all.

@ AussieLegend: Hi. When I originally added the station infobox for NBN Television, I listed "Northern New South Wales & Gold Coast, Queensland" as the broadcast areas. The name "Northern New South Wales" is the correct broadcasting terminology for the area covering Hunter Region, Mid North Coast and Northern Rivers, the areas you listed. This can be seen on this official Southern Cross document that labels the area (in orange) as "NNSW", on this government document from the Australian Communications and Media Authority which labels NBN's coverage as "Northern New South Wales", and on the NBN website which lists its coverage as "Northern New South Wales". Using the terminology for the Northern New South Wales area as a whole is both the officially recognised terminology and is the terminology currently in use on all other regional television broadcaster articles. As such, can the infobox please be changed back to "Northern New South Wales & Gold Coast, Queensland" (the correct name will also leave the infobox less cluttered) – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 07:10, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

The changes you made to this template today have had the effect of adding nearly a thousand articles to Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags, making it effectively impossible to find and deal with any non-Australian articles in the category. The articles using the infobox can be fixed by deleting the "coordinates" field in the infobox and adding "coordinates_display = inline,title", but it's a bit much to expect that someone will go through all the articles and do that by hand. Any suggestions? Deor ( talk) 20:24, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Leave it in the article but I just don't want to have anything to do with it any more. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 15:37, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
I've noticed there has been a lot of disruptive edits recently from unregistered users on the "Dance moms" and its seasons articles. They always make 2 edits so users without rollback can't undo all their disruptive edits. Is it possible to semi-protect these pages to prevent unregistered users editing them? From the edits it appears to be the same editor using different IP addresses. Thanks -- Sgcosh ( talk) 12:36, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I just had a few questions regarding MythBusters. For episode titles, I noticed that on Wikipedia an episode is titled "Hindenburg Mystery", which is spelled correctly, but the official Discovery website has a typo that spells it with an e instead of a u. I also noticed that there is a mistake where they titled the second "Alaska Special" identically to the first (see [2] and [3]). What should be done in these two situations? Also, I had a question reguarding the Adam Savage (American) article. It looks as though someone created Adam Savage (British), but is this the correct way to differentiate? I feel as though nationality is not usually used in this scenario. Thanks!

Hi, I'm just popping by to ask for your opinion on something. I know we've had our differences, but I think ultimately we both an accurate and constructive editing processing on Wiki. In the latest two episodes of Code Black (TV series), three characters have gained new roles. User:Drmargi believes that by referencing these new roles in the character descriptions, WP:TV standards are being breached. She believes only the original roles of a character should be mentioned, despite an evolving narrative, and indeed, narrative purpose. The differences, of course, are minor, but in order to maintain an accurate encyclopedia, they are necessary. Drmargi is insistent on reverting.

do not use colored text or background unless its status is also indicated using another method such as an accessible symbol matched to a legend, or footnote labels. Otherwise, blind users or readers accessing Wikipedia through a printout or device without a color screen will not receive that information.The purpose of colour in these tables is not stated at all. It is purely decorative and unencyclopaedic. As for the time slot, look at the tables above and tell me something based on inclusion of that information. Why is the program being aired at 9PM on Sunday when its highest ratings were in the 8:30PM time slot. My point here is that, without further analysis, the time slot does not provide any encyclopaedic information. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 01:40, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Your last revert of my edit on Pacific Highway (Australia) was not justified. The end of the Pacific Motorway is Brunswick Heads, not Ewingsdale, as per the Gazette ( http://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/Government-Gazette-10-May-2013.pdf).
The only reason Ewingsdale is mentioned in any of these articles is that, for a time, that is where the M1 route ended. However the route from Brunswick Heads to Ewingsdale is not a part of the Pacific Motorway.
You cannot use the Gazette as the source of truth for route numbers. While there are recent examples where the new gazetted name has a route name and a number ("M1 Pacific Motorway"), there is no requirement for route numbers to be gazetted and the overwhelming majority of them are not.
Given that all signs on the Pacific Highway from Brunswick Heads to Ballina are marked as M1, and there is no official source to my knowledge that says it is called A1, the article should list this section as M1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ausmeerkat ( talk • contribs) 03:28, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello AussieLegend!

Hi AussieLegend. I saw you've deleted my notes about several Grammy wins in the winners & nominees section, stating that these quotes were misplaced. I'm curious why these notes were misplaced - one or two notes on winners in a specific genre field (e.g. Pop, Rock, etc.) belong in the section belonging to that genre field, which was exactly what I did. If I put them elsewhere on the page, the link between those notes and the winners in a specific genre field may not be clear. That's why I'd like to revert those changes. Zighlveit ( talk) 16:20, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
I see. I understand what you mean, so my phrasing was bad "we can assume"... Indeed I also contribute to several Wikia (in addition to Wikipedia in Fr, Sp & Eng), so that may come from there... If you look at the production code (=order of episodes produced), then you don t need to assume anything anymore... My thought process was: hair short in between episodes of long hair-> must belong to old season -> go check on Internet -> boom, production codes confirm my hypothesis. Hypothesis is thus not an hypothesis anymore and one can drop the "assume".
Just like the episode order is displayed very prominently on that page, production order is worth noting, especially when very different from airing order.

Hello User:AussieLegend, I edited Monster Bug Wars , but I'm not sure how many seasons of the show there are.

Hi, Aussie, There's a bit of a disagreement at the moment over at CSI. User:Drmargi believes that on-screen credits, production codes, and the existence of two separate scripts do not count as evidence for "Immortality" being two episodes shown together in one block. In this situation, what does count as evidence? Shouldn't the scripts, production codes, and on-screen titles be enough? -- Unframboise ( talk) 02:30, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello AussieLegend,
The reason I removed the content "warm summers, mild winters" from the article Sydney is that that statement is based on opinion. I realise that you copied that from the source, but all that phrase says is that the author of the source considers Sydney's climate to be like that. There is no objective classification for those terms, and they are based solely on personal comfort levels. Personally, for example, I would say Sydney has coolish winters and coolish summers, which is not the same as what was there. According to Wikipedia's own neutrality rules, opinions and personal synthesis are to be left out of articles.
If it had said, "According to XYZ climate classification system, Sydney has warm summers and mild winters", it would have been different since here it is clearly stated as the opinion of XYZ. However, this was not the case, hence why I removed it from the article.
Thank you,

Hi I've returned the statement of Arthurs Seat's indigenous name of Wonga to the lede of the article. Wonga is the most common indigenous name for the landmark by far - I was there two days ago where a plaque describes the indigenous heritage and name, and online resources only know it by this name (though they are few). I added the information about the other two names to the article as a matter of interest, more than anything else. They certainly do not have equal weighting and the last one (Tubberrubberbil) is spurious and should probably be deleted anyway. In fact I think that is the only online source which makes any reference to other names at all.

@ AussieLegend: Hi. When I originally added the station infobox for NBN Television, I listed "Northern New South Wales & Gold Coast, Queensland" as the broadcast areas. The name "Northern New South Wales" is the correct broadcasting terminology for the area covering Hunter Region, Mid North Coast and Northern Rivers, the areas you listed. This can be seen on this official Southern Cross document that labels the area (in orange) as "NNSW", on this government document from the Australian Communications and Media Authority which labels NBN's coverage as "Northern New South Wales", and on the NBN website which lists its coverage as "Northern New South Wales". Using the terminology for the Northern New South Wales area as a whole is both the officially recognised terminology and is the terminology currently in use on all other regional television broadcaster articles. As such, can the infobox please be changed back to "Northern New South Wales & Gold Coast, Queensland" (the correct name will also leave the infobox less cluttered) – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 07:10, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

The changes you made to this template today have had the effect of adding nearly a thousand articles to Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags, making it effectively impossible to find and deal with any non-Australian articles in the category. The articles using the infobox can be fixed by deleting the "coordinates" field in the infobox and adding "coordinates_display = inline,title", but it's a bit much to expect that someone will go through all the articles and do that by hand.
