I recall seeing you revert their edit about the soubrettes category in a number of articles a few days ago, and now they are up to adding it back in. Even IJBall has reverted the user at a couple of articles for inserting that category and some other unsourced content ( [1] [2] [3]). The user received a level 4 warning after your warnings to them, but for something different ( [4]); they removed that warning from their talk page, so with what they are doing right now, this may be a point to go the AIV or ANI route, though at the moment I don't know which noticeboard to report them. It's also pretty late right now, so I won't tackle this until a later time. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 10:39, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether we're going to have (or already having) sockpuppetry associated with this account. I was typing in the user's name in the search box and saw two other similar names ... User:Js2Jo and User:Js2Jo8. Both were marked as sockpuppets of User:JJonathan, with a listing of other sockpuppets here (there's appears to be no formal sockpuppet investigation report filed). But looking at what is reported at User:Js2Jo1989 and User talk:Js2Jo8, this likely is the same person (going by what they list as their birthday and birthplace). They are definitely focused on updating articles about female non-operatic singers, and I spotted one of those older accounts adding soubrettes category to one of those articles, from more than 10 years ago ( [5]).

Hi
Geraldo Perez,
When comes edit warring, there is the 3RR rule. What about someone repeatedly reverted edit on episode count just he or she can do it himself or herself? Would this fall be claiming
WP:OWN? Someone is doing this to me. Also, judging by his talk page this has happened multiple times before. —

After looking at a past discussion on this at
User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 11#Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything, you mentioned that we should only be listing those companies that actually have "Productions" at the end in the credits. Those without "Productions" at the end are dubious and not actual production companies and shouldn't be listed as they are, quoting you: Likely just the company name used by some executive producer who a lot of times has no real role in making the show, just some ownership interest in the property and gets paid to use it.
The only exception I can think of is something like
Hunter Street's Blooming Media. There's no "Productions" at the end in the credits, but there's a reliable secondary source stating it as a production company. Another exception would be something like the
Schneider's Bakery production company.
Would you please take a look at the latest edits to those two articles? For Stuck in the Middle, the credits just show "Horizon"; however, I looked on The Futon Critic and it has "Horizon Productions." The question is, what has more precedence here? The credits or a secondary source? We know that the credits are authoritative with regard to how people are credited, such as writers, but is that the same for production companies in that the credits would be authoritative over something like The Futon Critic? For Andi Mack, the only one that actually has "Productions" at the end is "MM Productions." The other two don't, which is why I removed them quite a while ago after our discussion. The Futon Critic has no studio information for Andi Mack, unfortunately. For confirmation on Andi Mack, here is the first episode on Disney Channel's official YouTube. Skip to 24:54.
I was going to revert at both articles, but decided to come here first. I'll ping IJBall and MPFitz1968 as well. Thanks in advance. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 04:01, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
@ Starforce13: Productions in the name indicates a production company. Lack of productions in the name leaves what the company does undetermined, it may or may not be a production company, and needs other sources to clarify the issue. A short name might be a logo or might just be a short name for the company used in credits. Again need sources to clarify. What is in the credits can generally be used without futher reference, stuff that is not in the credits needs to be sourced. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 05:59, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Please keep a close eye on this article – List of PJ Masks episodes was just CSD'ed for copyvios (apparently from the Wikia), so it sounds like it means that every single episode summary now back at PJ Masks needs to be removed/ WP:NUKEANDPAVEd as a precaution. At the very least, every single summary needs to be checked against the Wikia, and those that are copyvios need to be removed. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 13:45, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

See [7]. Then I realized the date. There was supposed to be a new Loud House and SpongeBob on Friday, but there was a last-minute scheduling change. There were reruns instead. However, I guess Nickelodeon forgot to remove the "premiere" tag from The Loud House, because its ratings still showed up on Showbuzz Daily Archived 2018-04-24 at the Wayback Machine, and they only cover premieres. They don't cover reruns. Here's the odd thing. It's listed on Amazon with a date of April 29 (though it should be 30 as for some reason Amazon has been a day off with everything for a long time), and they contractually can't sell episodes until after they have aired. I'm inclined to self-revert. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 21:08, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Geraldo, do you have an opinion on the recent (apparently bold) move of Big Hero 6 The Series? While some of the sourcing does refer to the show as "Big Hero 6: The Series" (with the colon), I'm looking at Disney's latest press release, as well as the series logo, and I'm seeing no "colon" in there... Should this be moved back? Or should a formal WP:RM be held?... TIA. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 19:49, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
May need you—and others—there, depending on how things go. It seems their only issue with my edit was the removal of summaries. Per the hidden notes, summaries should be 100–200 words; otherwise, they are understandably suspected of copyright violations. In any case, with that being their only issue, there was absolutely no reason to revert the entire edit, which also had obvious and clear improvements and general cleanup. They could have either restored them manually or asked me to. Their claim that I removed content without explanation was completely bogus. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 02:48, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
I know we can use them to support future episodes per WP:PRIMARY, but what about the other way around? Nickelodeon has two types of promos: Those specific to series with either a quick "followed by" or "right after" at the end—like here—and then a general one which includes everything for the night. Nickelodeon's general promo for next Saturday only has Henry Danger and The Adventures of Kid Danger. Zap2it does have premieres listed next Saturday for Henry Danger ("Toddler Invasion") and The Adventures of Kid Danger ("The Sushi Sitter"/"Cheer Beast"), but it also has premieres listed for Knight Squad ("Wish I May, Wish I Knight") and Star Falls ("The Play"). With neither of those latter series being in the general promo for next Saturday, can that be used to support removing the air dates for them, or should we wait until either next Saturday passes and they don't air or Zap2it or The Futon Critic update? Will ping IJBall as well. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 01:29, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
I'm concerned about the editing of User:Idrinkapplejuicies456. In addition to the WP:DE at 101 Dalmatians: The Series, they have a consistent pattern of removing maintenance tags from articles without explanation. Any ideas?... 02:24, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Looking for other opinions on this... An IP editor has slowly been adding synopses to this. The good news is that I've been checking them with simple Google searches, and they're not yielding any other "hits", which means they're not being plagiarized from internet sources. But they are the kind of short synopses that look like they might be coming from, say, old TV Guide issues. So, I'm not sure what to do here – removing them would essentially be "assuming bad faith", but they are on the suspicious side... Also pinging Amaury in on this discussion. TIA. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 21:39, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
You claim my edit is unsourced. It is not. The edit clearly says "Added a sentence from the already mentioned source to clarify a bit". This is the source: The Roads Not Taken With Pixar’s Cars Films.
Quote: “In Denmark there has never been car production because the country is too small,” said Jorgen. “Yet in the 1980s some enthusiastic folks got the idea of making a three-wheeled one-person car that ran on electricity. They put it into production and it worked great in the city, but out on the highway it was too slow. People also thought that (this) car was ugly.” “I thought that the electric car was ahead of its time, and it struck me odd that my fellow Danes didn’t agree,” (Klubien continued. “What happened with this car) reminded me of The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson. This famous Danish character wasn’t accepted at first, but in the end it proved to be right on the money.”
Which is why I added the sentence: "It was inspired by The Ugly Duckling, an idea triggered by the poor reception his fellow countrymen gave the Mini-El car." I find this information highly relevant for the article as it clarifies the origin of the idea, and had it been included when the source was originally added, nobody would have removed it. The article doesn't specify the CityEl (originally called Mini-El, which the CityEl article clearly mention), but as it points out, only a single car had ever been produced in Denmark when the interview was made, and as the CityEl article will tell you, it was originally produced in Denmark. It was electric and with three wheels, and even has a picture of a yellow car that looks almost the same as the character drawn in the link. 84.210.7.162 ( talk) 06:14, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Geraldo, I'm writing because I am concerned about the state of this article. After looking for sourcing for TV airdates – I was only able to find TV Guide for the purpose – I was only able to find airdates for the "season #1" shorts.
Now this Animation magazine source does seem to confirm a second season of 10 episodes (plus 3 "holiday" specials), and does seem to have some airdates for "season #2", but I can't find a definitive source for "season #2" airdates. (And it's strange that the website seems not to have all of these "season #2" shorts...) However, I checked the Disney Now app, and all of the episode shorts listed at the article through so-called "season #3" do exist, and can be found on the app – of course, none of that helps to establish airdates.
In the meantime, I have removed "season #4" from the article, as totally unverified (and it may even be fradulent).
I have already posted to Talk:Whisker Haven, basically about this.
Any suggestions here?... Also, pinging Amaury as I think he may be watching the article now. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 13:47, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
IP has been inserting dubious (and quite likely incorrect) information concerning Peyton List (actress, born 1998) and a Sonic the Hedgehog character from an old animated series in that franchise (out before List was even born), Amy Rose.

Geraldo, to follow up on this, there were multiple failed attempts to log/hack into my account earlier this morning. (Not sure it's related to this specifically, though it's a fair assumption...) As a sometime Admin, I figured I should let you know about this, in case my account does get compromised in a subsequent attempt... So, if my account starts doing a bunch of weird stuff at some point in the future, it's not me, and blocking it would probably be the correct course of action.

"Production on Disney Channel's Descendants 3 began in Vancouver Monday...". So, to me, it sounds like they checked(?).

Last time I checked, it's only okay if the episode is from the official website and it doesn't require your cable or satellite provider login—in other words, it's not behind a WP:PAYWALL.

Remember WP Editor 2012? The editor who often edited the Nickelodeon series articles and would often remove air dates for episodes on the basis that they didn't think they were right—a similar example can be found at Talk:List of Henry Danger episodes#Number of episodes for second season. They're also one of the ones who would argue that double length episodes count as two episodes—for example, Talk:List of Zoey 101 episodes#Episode numbering—and then tell us that The Futon Critic's production codes such as 999 for double length or higher specials were wrong—although The Futon Critic has changed that since. And so on. Well, anyway, I happened to notice their name had a strike-through while looking at the Girl Meets World article history, so naturally I got curious and checked their block log and saw this: Block log. The random user who commented at Talk:List of Henry Danger episodes#Special production codes was them. I'll ping MPFitz1968 and IJBall as well in case they're interested since we've all had many interactions with them, particularly Geraldo, I think. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 15:11, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
Eventhough the Powerpuff girls (2016) series has already been renewed for season 3 ,There isn't a single proof for its confirmation yet even though unofficial sources confirm it,These people however keep editing the Episodes wiki page without any confirmation as shown here: /info/en/?search=List_of_The_Powerpuff_Girls_(2016_TV_series)_episodes#Season_3_(2018-19)
Which is why I suggested maybe you should give a semi-protection to the article in order to prevent more vandalism unless if there is a confirmation and proof that the series is renewed for season 3 and then it should be edited with season 3 Belrien12 ( talk) 16:40, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Geraldo, User:Speedster358 is using their user page as a "draft article" – Is this kosher? (It's also completely redundant with Draft:Descendants 3, I will note...) -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 22:25, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
@ Amaury and MPFitz1968: Interesting – it appears that Speedster358's account has now been globally "locked"! Not exactly sure how that happens – I guess the account was vandalizing more than just En Wiki... Anyway, it seems this is now one for the books. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 15:46, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Amaury reverted their several disruptive edits at List of Austin & Ally episodes and reported them to AIV. Looking at the info for this account - the name is pretty similar and the account was created on May 7, one day after the 358 one was globally locked. Their only common article at this point is The Flash (season 4), but both accounts have been tied to various articles about Disney and Nickelodeon TV shows, so their area of interest is definitely in editing there. Still, I'm not completely sure whether this is a sock, but the name similarity immediately calls this into suspicion (though I know there are a handful of "Speedster" accounts in Wikipedia, but not every one is tied to Disney/Nickelodeon programming). MPFitz1968 ( talk) 18:04, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
Just to let you know, but this series of edits, looks questionable to me – I randomly checked and at least one of these episode synopses seems to contain a WP:COPYVIO, and not just from the Wikia but from a legitimate "source". As a regular watcher of this page, I thought you should be made aware... -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 15:17, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
I've asked for semiprotection of the article in light of recent edits by several IPs effectively stating the end of the series occurred on July 26, 2017, without providing any sources that the series has been officially cancelled by Nickelodeon ... and it is still less than a year since the last aired episode on that date. Will ping Amaury and IJBall - can you two also keep an eye on the article in case more disruption happens before an admin can deal with this?
I've also put an entry on the show's talk page to reiterate that the "last_aired" should not be changed unless one of the above conditions has occurred, as a topic regarding that (which I mention in the entry) has already been archived. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 15:23, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Geraldo, contra to this edit, I thought we didn't include "nationality" in most BLP's unless it differed from the obvious (e.g. the nation where their work is known for). Personality, I've always thought that including nationality in infoboxes was redundant and unnecessary about 95% of the time. Am I wrong? TIA. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 12:49, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
@ IJBall and Davey2010: I see this is resolved. Generally people are citizens or nationals of where they are born and adding nationality or citizenship in the infobox is redundant with birth country already listed. Need to list it for the exceptions when it differs from birth country as there are cases such as born to diplomats or military on assignment out of their country or become naturalized in another country. Also assumptions about what a person's actual nationality or citizenship is might be wrong if not backed up with article content that directly supports it. Putting it in the infobox based solely on birth location is just making the same assumptions a reader of the article will make and really adds nothing of value and there is some chance it might actually be incorrect. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 17:24, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
In this particular case, what takes precedence? WP:PRIMARY or WP:SECONDARY (The Futon Critic, Disney ABC Press, Copyright Office). I'm working on cleaning up ABC's latest new comedies—Alex, Inc. and Splitting Up Together—in sandbox pages here and here. Once I'm done catching up on episodes so I can add in the guest stars, I will clean up the actual articles. Anyway, unlike kids' networks, broadcast networks show "production # X" in the end credits. So for Splitting Up Together's pilot, for example, we have "production # T11.10115" in the credits, but The Futon Critic and Disney ABC Press list 101. Which one should be used? T11.10115 or 101?

On the subject of
Alex, Inc., Geraldo,
IJBall, can I get some additional eyes on the article, at least temporarily through tomorrow Wednesday? The series was canceled, but the series finale doesn't air until tomorrow Wednesday; thus, we shouldn't be adding the end date to the infobox, which hasn't happened yet, or the ending category, which has happened a lot.

You placed a template on /info/en/?search=File:Image_of_rapper_Tay-K.png due to the fact "Subject is alive, free-use photo possible."
I edited it a little to justify why a free-use photo is most likely not possible but I felt like my original justification was enough. The subject in question is 17 years old and currently on trial for two capital murder charges which could leave him incarcerated for the rest of his life. I stated that originally on the image and I felt like that was enough to understand why there will possibly never be a free-use image released of him due to the fact that no free-use images can be taken of him (as he is incarcerated), though I have added the fact his career basically took off whilst he was incarcerated so he also did no tours nor did he ever do a concert where pictures would be taken. I feel like this is rational enough justification to allow the image, especially as it isn't compromising anyone commercial opportunities (the image was distributed by U.S Marshal Services.)

User:Js2Jo and User:Js2Jo8. Both were marked as sockpuppets of User:JJonathan, with a listing of other sockpuppets here (there's appears to be no formal sockpuppet investigation report filed). But looking at what is reported at User:Js2Jo1989 and User talk:Js2Jo8, this likely is the same person (going by what they list as their birthday and birthplace). They are definitely focused on updating articles about female non-operatic singers, and I spotted one of those older accounts adding soubrettes category to one of those articles, from more than 10 years ago ( [5]).

Hi
Geraldo Perez,
When comes edit warring, there is the 3RR rule. What about someone repeatedly reverted edit on episode count just he or she can do it himself or herself? Would this fall be claiming
WP:OWN? Someone is doing this to me. Also, judging by his talk page this has happened multiple times before. —

After looking at a past discussion on this at
User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 11#Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything, you mentioned that we should only be listing those companies that actually have "Productions" at the end in the credits. Those without "Productions" at the end are dubious and not actual production companies and shouldn't be listed as they are, quoting you: Likely just the company name used by some executive producer who a lot of times has no real role in making the show, just some ownership interest in the property and gets paid to use it.
The only exception I can think of is something like
Hunter Street's Blooming Media. There's no "Productions" at the end in the credits, but there's a reliable secondary source stating it as a production company. Another exception would be something like the
Schneider's Bakery production company.
Would you please take a look at the latest edits to those two articles? For Stuck in the Middle, the credits just show "Horizon"; however, I looked on The Futon Critic and it has "Horizon Productions." The question is, what has more precedence here? The credits or a secondary source? We know that the credits are authoritative with regard to how people are credited, such as writers, but is that the same for production companies in that the credits would be authoritative over something like The Futon Critic? For Andi Mack, the only one that actually has "Productions" at the end is "MM Productions." The other two don't, which is why I removed them quite a while ago after our discussion. The Futon Critic has no studio information for Andi Mack, unfortunately. For confirmation on Andi Mack, here is the first episode on Disney Channel's official YouTube. Skip to 24:54.
I was going to revert at both articles, but decided to come here first. I'll ping IJBall and MPFitz1968 as well. Thanks in advance. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 04:01, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
@ Starforce13: Productions in the name indicates a production company. Lack of productions in the name leaves what the company does undetermined, it may or may not be a production company, and needs other sources to clarify the issue. A short name might be a logo or might just be a short name for the company used in credits. Again need sources to clarify. What is in the credits can generally be used without futher reference, stuff that is not in the credits needs to be sourced. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 05:59, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

See [7]. Then I realized the date. There was supposed to be a new Loud House and SpongeBob on Friday, but there was a last-minute scheduling change. There were reruns instead. However, I guess Nickelodeon forgot to remove the "premiere" tag from The Loud House, because its ratings still showed up on Showbuzz Daily Archived 2018-04-24 at the Wayback Machine, and they only cover premieres. They don't cover reruns. Here's the odd thing. It's listed on Amazon with a date of April 29 (though it should be 30 as for some reason Amazon has been a day off with everything for a long time), and they contractually can't sell episodes until after they have aired. I'm inclined to self-revert. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 21:08, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Geraldo, do you have an opinion on the recent (apparently bold) move of Big Hero 6 The Series?

May need you—and others—there, depending on how things go. It seems their only issue with my edit was the removal of summaries. Per the hidden notes, summaries should be 100–200 words; otherwise, they are understandably suspected of copyright violations. In any case, with that being their only issue, there was absolutely no reason to revert the entire edit, which also had obvious and clear improvements and general cleanup. They could have either restored them manually or asked me to. Their claim that I removed content without explanation was completely bogus. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 02:48, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
I know we can use them to support future episodes per WP:PRIMARY, but what about the other way around? Nickelodeon has two types of promos: Those specific to series with either a quick "followed by" or "right after" at the end—like here—and then a general one which includes everything for the night. Nickelodeon's general promo for next Saturday only has Henry Danger and The Adventures of Kid Danger. Zap2it does have premieres listed next Saturday for Henry Danger ("Toddler Invasion") and The Adventures of Kid Danger ("The Sushi Sitter"/"Cheer Beast"), but it also has premieres listed for Knight Squad ("Wish I May, Wish I Knight") and Star Falls ("The Play"). With neither of those latter series being in the general promo for next Saturday, can that be used to support removing the air dates for them, or should we wait until either next Saturday passes and they don't air or Zap2it or The Futon Critic update? Will ping IJBall as well. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 01:29, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Looking for other opinions on this... An IP editor has slowly been adding synopses to this. The good news is that I've been checking them with simple Google searches, and they're not yielding any other "hits", which means they're not being plagiarized from internet sources. But they are the kind of short synopses that look like they might be coming from, say, old TV Guide issues. So, I'm not sure what to do here – removing them would essentially be "assuming bad faith", but they are on the suspicious side... Also pinging Amaury in on this discussion.

You claim my edit is unsourced. It is not. The edit clearly says "Added a sentence from the already mentioned source to clarify a bit". This is the source: The Roads Not Taken With Pixar’s Cars Films.
Quote: “In Denmark there has never been car production because the country is too small,” said Jorgen. “Yet in the 1980s some enthusiastic folks got the idea of making a three-wheeled one-person car that ran on electricity. They put it into production and it worked great in the city, but out on the highway it was too slow. People also thought that (this) car was ugly.” “I thought that the electric car was ahead of its time, and it struck me odd that my fellow Danes didn’t agree,” (Klubien continued. “What happened with this car) reminded me of The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson. This famous Danish character wasn’t accepted at first, but in the end it proved to be right on the money.”
Which is why I added the sentence: "It was inspired by The Ugly Duckling, an idea triggered by the poor reception his fellow countrymen gave the Mini-El car." I find this information highly relevant for the article as it clarifies the origin of the idea, and had it been included when the source was originally added, nobody would have removed it. The article doesn't specify the CityEl (originally called Mini-El, which the CityEl article clearly mention), but as it points out, only a single car had ever been produced in Denmark when the interview was made, and as the CityEl article will tell you, it was originally produced in Denmark. It was electric and with three wheels, and even has a picture of a yellow car that looks almost the same as the character drawn in the link. 84.210.7.162 ( talk) 06:14, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Geraldo, I'm writing because I am concerned about the state of this article. After looking for sourcing for TV airdates – I was only able to find TV Guide for the purpose – I was only able to find airdates for the "season #1" shorts.
Now this Animation magazine source does seem to confirm a second season of 10 episodes (plus 3 "holiday" specials), and does seem to have some airdates for "season #2", but I can't find a definitive source for "season #2" airdates. (And it's strange that the website seems not to have all of these "season #2" shorts...) However, I checked the Disney Now app, and all of the episode shorts listed at the article through so-called "season #3" do exist, and can be found on the app – of course, none of that helps to establish airdates.
In the meantime, I have removed "season #4" from the article, as totally unverified (and it may even be fradulent).
I have already posted to Talk:Whisker Haven, basically about this.
Any suggestions here?... Also, pinging Amaury as I think he may be watching the article now. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 13:47, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Last time I checked, it's only okay if the episode is from the official website and it doesn't require your cable or satellite provider login—in other words, it's not behind a WP:PAYWALL.

Remember WP Editor 2012? The editor who often edited the Nickelodeon series articles and would often remove air dates for episodes on the basis that they didn't think they were right—a similar example can be found at Talk:List of Henry Danger episodes#Number of episodes for second season. They're also one of the ones who would argue that double length episodes count as two episodes—for example, Talk:List of Zoey 101 episodes#Episode numbering—and then tell us that The Futon Critic's production codes such as 999 for double length or higher specials were wrong—although The Futon Critic has changed that since. And so on. Well, anyway, I happened to notice their name had a strike-through while looking at the Girl Meets World article history, so naturally I got curious and checked their block log and saw this: Block log. The random user who commented at Talk:List of Henry Danger episodes#Special production codes was them.

Eventhough the Powerpuff girls (2016) series has already been renewed for season 3 ,There isn't a single proof for its confirmation yet even though unofficial sources confirm it,These people however keep editing the Episodes wiki page without any confirmation as shown here: /info/en/?search=List_of_The_Powerpuff_Girls_(2016_TV_series)_episodes#Season_3_(2018-19)

@ Amaury and MPFitz1968: Interesting – it appears that Speedster358's account has now been globally "locked"!

Amaury reverted their several disruptive edits at List of Austin & Ally episodes and reported them to AIV. Looking at the info for this account - the name is pretty similar and the account was created on May 7, one day after the 358 one was globally locked. Their only common article at this point is The Flash (season 4), but both accounts have been tied to various articles about Disney and Nickelodeon TV shows, so their area of interest is definitely in editing there. Still, I'm not completely sure whether this is a sock, but the name similarity immediately calls this into suspicion (though I know there are a handful of "Speedster" accounts in Wikipedia, but not every one is tied to Disney/Nickelodeon programming). MPFitz1968 ( talk) 18:04, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
Just to let you know, but this series of edits, looks questionable to me – I randomly checked and at least one of these episode synopses seems to contain a WP:COPYVIO, and not just from the Wikia but from a legitimate "source".

I've asked for semiprotection of the article in light of recent edits by several IPs effectively stating the end of the series occurred on July 26, 2017, without providing any sources that the series has been officially cancelled by Nickelodeon ... and it is still less than a year since the last aired episode on that date. Will ping Amaury and IJBall - can you two also keep an eye on the article in case more disruption happens before an admin can deal with this?
I've also put an entry on the show's talk page to reiterate that the "last_aired" should not be changed unless one of the above conditions has occurred, as a topic regarding that (which I mention in the entry) has already been archived. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 15:23, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Geraldo, contra to this edit, I thought we didn't include "nationality" in most BLP's unless it differed from the obvious (e.g. the nation where their work is known for).

@ IJBall and Davey2010: I see this is resolved. Generally people are citizens or nationals of where they are born and adding nationality or citizenship in the infobox is redundant with birth country already listed. Need to list it for the exceptions when it differs from birth country as there are cases such as born to diplomats or military on assignment out of their country or become naturalized in another country. Also assumptions about what a person's actual nationality or citizenship is might be wrong if not backed up with article content that directly supports it. Putting it in the infobox based solely on birth location is just making the same assumptions a reader of the article will make and really adds nothing of value and there is some chance it might actually be incorrect. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 17:24, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
In this particular case, what takes precedence? WP:PRIMARY or WP:SECONDARY (The Futon Critic, Disney ABC Press, Copyright Office). I'm working on cleaning up ABC's latest new comedies—Alex, Inc. and Splitting Up Together—in sandbox pages here and here. Once I'm done catching up on episodes so I can add in the guest stars, I will clean up the actual articles. Anyway, unlike kids' networks, broadcast networks show "production # X" in the end credits. So for Splitting Up Together's pilot, for example, we have "production # T11.10115" in the credits, but The Futon Critic and Disney ABC Press list 101. Which one should be used? T11.10115 or 101?

You placed a template on /info/en/?search=File:Image_of_rapper_Tay-K.png due to the fact "Subject is alive, free-use photo possible."
I edited it a little to justify why a free-use photo is most likely not possible but I felt like my original justification was enough. The subject in question is 17 years old and currently on trial for two capital murder charges which could leave him incarcerated for the rest of his life. I stated that originally on the image and I felt like that was enough to understand why there will possibly never be a free-use image released of him due to the fact that no free-use images can be taken of him (as he is incarcerated), though I have added the fact his career basically took off whilst he was incarcerated so he also did no tours nor did he ever do a concert where pictures would be taken. I feel like this is rational enough justification to allow the image, especially as it isn't compromising anyone commercial opportunities (the image was distributed by U.S Marshal Services.)
