17:18, 16 May 2018 (UTC)Geraldo, now we have a problem – the creator of this article moved it back to Mainspace (after making no improvements to it). What do you suggest we do? I will not move it back to Draftspace myself a second time (though another editor such as yourself is welcome to). But it is clearly not suitable for Mainspace...

Geraldo, do you have any thoughts on the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television)#List of Happy Tree Friends TV episodes (season 1) misnamed?...?

It is mentioned in one of the sources, but is there any relevancy to including the fact that Cyrus is also the first gay middle schooler? Honestly, what relevancy does grade level have? I would think the most important fact here is simply that Cyrus Goodman is the first gay main character on Disney Channel. As we know, just because something passes WP:VERIFY doesn't necessarily merit inclusion as we discussed at Talk:Bella and the Bulldogs/Controversy.
I previously removed it when I removed the overlinking, cleaned up the cite formatting, etc., but rather than the other user simply re-adding the sources they thought were useful, they decided to copy and paste the earlier version of the entire section and then remove some sources, thereby also reintroducing the improperly formatted citations. (Essentially, they reverted my edit manually.) Instead of removing that "middle schooler" portion again, I figured I'd ask here. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 13:57, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
As per
Deadline Hollywood on May 21,
here, "Production on the live-action musical; is set to begin shortly, Disney Channel said."

Hey, I've writing to you regarding many of your edits on American mainstream TV channels. I've been in the States from time to time, usually for visiting my family living there (I'm from Latin America, Peru specifically) and I always got time to tune up to pay-TV networks on different providers.
As I said this, letterboxing does occur on SD feeds of various TV networks. Broadcasting companies usually downscale their own HD feed (as they now broadcast natively in either 720p or 1080i) and add black bars on the top and bottom of the screen to fit the common 4:3 aspect ratio of old TVs (usually CRT ones). This is still happening for most TV networks, as I myself tested the SD feeds I received from source on different providers (AT&T, DirecTV and Frontier) and its image ratio is only altered when changing the DVR's picture format settings from "automatic" to "crop 4:3" or "add black bar on the sides"
This is common for the US and Canada, and used to be common for Latin American channels. Most digital cable operators in Latin America use ATSC for internal channel encryption (such as VTR in Chile and Claro TV in South America as a whole on cable only) and they do support letterboxing, either from origin or by tweaking the channels themselves. This is also the case for cable operators using DVB-C (such as Movistar TV in Peru, Cablevisión in Argentina, SuperCable in Colombia and izzi in Mexico, among others). However, at least in this part of the world, TV networks are now distributing their SD feeds in 16:9 widescreen with no additional downscaling, as they were already doing in Europe. This is opposed to the current trend in the US, as far as I can see (with the exception of additional-subscrition international channels, such as BBC America, TV5 Monde or RAI Italia, as an example).
I'm clarifying this situation due to this edit you made on Teen Nick. I hope you understand. -- Bankster ( talk) 02:59, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Geraldo, exactly how is the distributor

The names of the original distribution company or companiesmeans to me only the original company and as named at the time. Not updated by changes in company names and not augmented by subsequent distribution outlets after original run is complete. Generally the original distribution company is the first airing network which is assumed. I can see augmenting that with the original company selling the series to home media, international distribution and to syndication. If the company is not named in the credits, I would like to see it named in the article with references. A lot of editors seem to make unsourced assumptions although IMDb is generally correct in their company credits so I somewhat trust them when I check. If it is a laundry list it is excessive and likely trying to keep up with all changes after release. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 16:32, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

I wouldn't have noticed this, except I watch Template:Disney Channel Original Series. Template:Disney XD Original Series, and Template:Nickelodeon original series and Nicktoons. This user last night went through and mass changed the order on many templates, changing it from "former, current, upcoming" to "current, former, upcoming." Now, I'm sure the order was "former" first for a reason, and from what I could see this user mass changed them with no real discussion. See all edit summaries with "Makes more sense to have..." What are your thoughts on this? Definitely seems like a wider discussion should first be held on something of this scale. Will ping MPFitz1968 as well if he has any opinions as well as IJBall.

The same user that we are addressing in the last topic regarding the sitcoms without laugh tracks category is also adding trivia about characters appearing in other series, particularly those from Nickelodeon, under a section called "Crossovers". I've already reverted at Sam & Cat, Henry Danger, and The Thundermans. Crossovers need more than simply characters appearing in another series; other elements like settings and storylines common to the two (or more) series involved are more likely to be classified as crossovers. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 19:20, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
Just want to make sure I'm correct here. This would also apply to all credits, right? The cast listing should be ordered according to the original broadcast credits, with new cast members being added to the end of the list.
For example, Dworkingham Productions was added as a production company for The Thundermans' fourth season. I have it listed at the end in the infobox even though it's listed before Nickelodeon Productions on screen. Likewise, for the new Raven's Home production company in the second season, I have Done Deal Productions listed at the end even though it's listed before It's a Laugh Productions.

I was confused until I saw your edit summary on the FOP parent article. On the LOE, you said they, so I was scratching my head thinking, "Well, if the IP broke it, shouldn't my edit have been right?"

Geraldo, I've run across an issue at List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 TV series) episodes and related articles that I'd like to run by you...
Right now, the 'Series overview' table, etc. list the following order for the seasons of this show: Season 4 (2005–06) → Season 5: Ninja Tribunal (2008) → Season 6: Fast Forward (2006–07) → Season 7: Back to the Sewer (2008–09). Now, if you base this purely on airing order, this is obviously nonsensical: "season 4" debuted on September 10, 2005; "season 5" debuted on February 16, 2008; "season 6" debuted on July 29, 2006; and "season 7" debuted on September 13, 2008. Clearly "season 5" and "season 6" should be flipped, if we go by airing order.
Now, there's background on this. I don't know if this is an "official site", or a blog or wikia-type site, but this archive page from this site explains some of the background on "season #5" – it was #5 in the production order, and was originally (partially) released via Comcast OnDemand in 2006 (and much earlier versions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 TV series) (season 5) do include these OnDemand release dates), but we don't "count" that for official "air dates" in LoE tables anyway, and even this site acknowledges that this "season 5" is actually "season 6" in terms of the proper airing order of the seasons.
So, what I'm wondering is – Is this issue worth tackling? (as it'll involve more that just the LoE article, and will involve moving two separate 'season' articles for this show...) And, if so, how?... Or is it better to just leave this situation well enough alone.
TIA. And no hurry on getting back to me with your thoughts... -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 02:55, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Nickelodeon seems to be considering this a brand new, separate series as Zap2it and my DirecTV guide, which I suspect may get its info from Zap2it, is showing S1 E1, S1 E2, et cetera. And even the press release from April 25 seems to say that. Unlike Figure It Out which Nickelodeon seemed to consider as continuing the game show, with the two seasons it ran for being considered fifth and sixth seasons. This isn't an official tweet, but it explains what I'm saying better. As such, this may mean an independent article is warranted, and I've created a sandbox version here: User:Amaury/sandbox/Double Dare (2018 game show).

@ Amaury: I would open a discussion about whether the three versions should have their own articles at Talk:Double Dare (Nickelodeon game show).

Though I bet there will be some "pushback" against splitting because it's a WP:GA – yet another example of how GA's/FA's distort the editing process...

20:14, 18 July 2018 (UTC)So the standard practice here for viewership data is if it's four or less, it doesn't change (round down), and if it's five or more, round up. For example:
From doing research, zero is not counted for rounding purposes and is truncated since it has no effect on the previous digit at all. This is where the issue comes in from the aforementioned linked to article. We've got four items not changing, but five items rounding up. Problem with always rounding up fives? Rounding up more often than down, leading to a positive systematic error according to that article—whatever that is.
Here is where it gets more complicated, specifically when it comes to using Wikipedia's calculation function. When the viewership data was released for July 8, 2017, we saw that the third season premiere of School of Rock received 1.025 million viewers. When inserted into the episode table on the LOE article, that was accordingly rounded to 1.03. In the ratings template on the parent article, under the viewers3 parameter, it was appropriately inserted raw as 1.025, and look what it came out as for the average: 1.02. Now, this is gets even more confusing. Doing the math for the first season of Raven's Home, the raw average comes out to 1.495846153846154. (Notice the 1.495... part.) That rounds to 1.50, and even the Wikipedia calculator is rounding that to 1.50 instead of 1.49 as can be seen here. Why? Why would Wikipedia's calculation function round 1.025 to 1.02 instead of 1.03, but round 1.495846153846154 to 1.50 instead of 1.49? I just don't get it. I guess this is probably why we just go with always rounding up fives... so it's not complicated. But still, it's nice to understand complicated stuff.

I am sorely tempted to take this article to WP:AfD in an attempt to Draftify it. There is sourcing that verifies that DHX Media acquired 100% stake in the property. Sources c.2017 claimed a TV series would be produced. But there's been nothing more in two years, and there's no evidence that production has started, and certainly no mention of an airing network or a projected premiere date.

Here's another one. I have a theory: if you search for a series in Variety, and you come up with nothing, that's basically a priori proof that a TV series is non-notable. Sure enough, this one generates no hits in Variety. As it's not just a "children's TV show", but "a series of 'television shorts' for children", it seems likely that this is non-notable. So, is it worth WP:AfDing?... -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 06:42, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
Recently I have noticed on those three pages that multi-IP addresses beginning with "2601:8a:501:50e6:" have been edited to include names belonging to the Family part of the character infoboxes. 1) I don't know where they came from, and 2) this has been removed by me as that would be unsourced content.

The most recent episode to air on Disney Channel, " Buffy in a Bottle", is not listed in the current season/volume over at Amazon ( [7]). It is, however, listed at iTunes ( [8]). The release date to both sellers was within hours of its airing on Disney Channel, in the early hours of Tuesday morning (July 24). As I have the current season pass over at Amazon, I contacted a representative sometime on Wednesday (July 25) who said that it's likely a technical problem concerning the content provider (Disney) and was assuring me that it would be available soon, but so far, it's still not in the listing. I might get more suspicious if the next episode, "Keep a Lid on It", also doesn't show up there. I wonder if there are any contractual issues between Disney and Amazon that might be keeping "Buffy in a Bottle" from being available (which would be odd, as I haven't seen any other episodes from other Disney Channel series be withheld - the most recent Stuck in the Middle, Bizaardvark, Bunk'd and Raven's Home episodes that came out this week are all listed).

It is mentioned in one of the sources, but is there any relevancy to including the fact that Cyrus is also the first gay middle schooler? Honestly, what relevancy does grade level have? I would think the most important fact here is simply that Cyrus Goodman is the first gay main character on Disney Channel. As we know, just because something passes WP:VERIFY doesn't necessarily merit inclusion as we discussed at Talk:Bella and the Bulldogs/Controversy.
I previously removed it when I removed the overlinking, cleaned up the cite formatting, etc., but rather than the other user simply re-adding the sources they thought were useful, they decided to copy and paste the earlier version of the entire section and then remove some sources, thereby also reintroducing the improperly formatted citations.

Hey, I've writing to you regarding many of your edits on American mainstream TV channels. I've been in the States from time to time, usually for visiting my family living there (I'm from Latin America, Peru specifically) and I always got time to tune up to pay-TV networks on different providers.
As I said this, letterboxing does occur on SD feeds of various TV networks. Broadcasting companies usually downscale their own HD feed (as they now broadcast natively in either 720p or 1080i) and add black bars on the top and bottom of the screen to fit the common 4:3 aspect ratio of old TVs (usually CRT ones). This is still happening for most TV networks, as I myself tested the SD feeds I received from source on different providers (AT&T, DirecTV and Frontier) and its image ratio is only altered when changing the DVR's picture format settings from "automatic" to "crop 4:3" or "add black bar on the sides"
This is common for the US and Canada, and used to be common for Latin American channels. Most digital cable operators in Latin America use ATSC for internal channel encryption (such as VTR in Chile and Claro TV in South America as a whole on cable only) and they do support letterboxing, either from origin or by tweaking the channels themselves. This is also the case for cable operators using DVB-C (such as Movistar TV in Peru, Cablevisión in Argentina, SuperCable in Colombia and izzi in Mexico, among others). However, at least in this part of the world, TV networks are now distributing their SD feeds in 16:9 widescreen with no additional downscaling, as they were already doing in Europe. This is opposed to the current trend in the US, as far as I can see (with the exception of additional-subscrition international channels, such as BBC America, TV5 Monde or RAI Italia, as an example).
I'm clarifying this situation due to this edit you made on Teen Nick. I hope you understand. -- Bankster ( talk) 02:59, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

The names of the original distribution company or companiesmeans to me only the original company and as named at the time. Not updated by changes in company names and not augmented by subsequent distribution outlets after original run is complete. Generally the original distribution company is the first airing network which is assumed. I can see augmenting that with the original company selling the series to home media, international distribution and to syndication. If the company is not named in the credits, I would like to see it named in the article with references. A lot of editors seem to make unsourced assumptions although IMDb is generally correct in their company credits so I somewhat trust them when I check. If it is a laundry list it is excessive and likely trying to keep up with all changes after release. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 16:32, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Now, I'm sure the order was "former" first for a reason, and from what I could see this user mass changed them with no real discussion. See all edit summaries with "Makes more sense to have..."

The same user that we are addressing in the last topic regarding the sitcoms without laugh tracks category is also adding trivia about characters appearing in other series, particularly those from Nickelodeon, under a section called "Crossovers". I've already reverted at Sam & Cat, Henry Danger, and The Thundermans. Crossovers need more than simply characters appearing in another series; other elements like settings and storylines common to the two (or more) series involved are more likely to be classified as crossovers. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 19:20, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
Just want to make sure I'm correct here. This would also apply to all credits, right? The cast listing should be ordered according to the original broadcast credits, with new cast members being added to the end of the list.
For example, Dworkingham Productions was added as a production company for The Thundermans' fourth season. I have it listed at the end in the infobox even though it's listed before Nickelodeon Productions on screen. Likewise, for the new Raven's Home production company in the second season, I have Done Deal Productions listed at the end even though it's listed before It's a Laugh Productions.

Geraldo, I've run across an issue at List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 TV series) episodes and related articles that I'd like to run by you...
Right now, the 'Series overview' table, etc. list the following order for the seasons of this show: Season 4 (2005–06) → Season 5: Ninja Tribunal (2008) → Season 6: Fast Forward (2006–07) → Season 7: Back to the Sewer (2008–09). Now, if you base this purely on airing order, this is obviously nonsensical: "season 4" debuted on September 10, 2005; "season 5" debuted on February 16, 2008; "season 6" debuted on July 29, 2006; and "season 7" debuted on September 13, 2008. Clearly "season 5" and "season 6" should be flipped, if we go by airing order.
Now, there's background on this. I don't know if this is an "official site", or a blog or wikia-type site, but this archive page from this site explains some of the background on "season #5" – it was #5 in the production order, and was originally (partially) released via Comcast OnDemand in 2006 (and much earlier versions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 TV series) (season 5) do include these OnDemand release dates), but we don't "count" that for official "air dates" in LoE tables anyway, and even this site acknowledges that this "season 5" is actually "season 6" in terms of the proper airing order of the seasons.
So, what I'm wondering is – Is this issue worth tackling? (as it'll involve more that just the LoE article, and will involve moving two separate 'season' articles for this show...) And, if so, how?... Or is it better to just leave this situation well enough alone.

Nickelodeon seems to be considering this a brand new, separate series as Zap2it and my DirecTV guide, which I suspect may get its info from Zap2it, is showing S1 E1, S1 E2, et cetera. And even the press release from April 25 seems to say that. Unlike Figure It Out which Nickelodeon seemed to consider as continuing the game show, with the two seasons it ran for being considered fifth and sixth seasons. This isn't an official tweet, but it explains what I'm saying better.

20:14, 18 July 2018 (UTC)So the standard practice here for viewership data is if it's four or less, it doesn't change (round down), and if it's five or more, round up. For example:
From doing research, zero is not counted for rounding purposes and is truncated since it has no effect on the previous digit at all. This is where the issue comes in from the aforementioned linked to article. We've got four items not changing, but five items rounding up. Problem with always rounding up fives? Rounding up more often than down, leading to a positive systematic error according to that article—whatever that is.
Here is where it gets more complicated, specifically when it comes to using Wikipedia's calculation function. When the viewership data was released for July 8, 2017, we saw that the third season premiere of School of Rock received 1.025 million viewers. When inserted into the episode table on the LOE article, that was accordingly rounded to 1.03. In the ratings template on the parent article, under the viewers3 parameter, it was appropriately inserted raw as 1.025, and look what it came out as for the average: 1.02. Now, this is gets even more confusing. Doing the math for the first season of Raven's Home, the raw average comes out to 1.495846153846154. (Notice the 1.495... part.) That rounds to 1.50, and even the Wikipedia calculator is rounding that to 1.50 instead of 1.49 as can be seen here. Why? Why would Wikipedia's calculation function round 1.025 to 1.02 instead of 1.03, but round 1.495846153846154 to 1.50 instead of 1.49? I just don't get it. I guess this is probably why we just go with always rounding up fives... so it's not complicated. But still, it's nice to understand complicated stuff.
Pinging IJBall and MPFitz1968 as well for thoughts. I know we probably all left this back at school or college, but... Amaury ( talk | contribs) 22:17, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
The two rules for rounding numbers are ... and Round 5's to the nearest even digit -- up or down as needed.Emphasis mine. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 01:43, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:The Futon Critic#TFC does not provide links to original sources. Inviting MPFitz1968 as well. I'm fairly sure they get their info straight from the networks which don't usually have the information public. It's no different than using Showbuzz Daily et al. to source viewership data which Nielsen doesn't make publicly available as it's "all about the money, man..."

I am sorely tempted to take this article to WP:AfD in an attempt to Draftify it. There is sourcing that verifies that DHX Media acquired 100% stake in the property. Sources c.2017 claimed a TV series would be produced. But there's been nothing more in two years, and there's no evidence that production has started, and certainly no mention of an airing network or a projected premiere date. IOW, right now, this looks to pretty clearly fail WP:TVSHOW (and WP:CRYSTAL) to me... Thoughts? -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 18:32, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
Here's another one. I have a theory: if you search for a series in Variety, and you come up with nothing, that's basically a priori proof that a TV series is non-notable. Sure enough, this one generates no hits in Variety. As it's not just a "children's TV show", but "a series of 'television shorts' for children", it seems likely that this is non-notable. So, is it worth WP:AfDing?... -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 06:42, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
Geraldo, could you please keep an extra, extra eye on this one for now? I've gone through, and cleaned it up, and improved the sourcing. This allowed me to correct all of the season #1 prod. codes (most of which had been erroneously changed to a numbering scheme that matched the broadcast order), and most especially the season #2 premiere date, and the dates of a couple of recent episodes. It's clear that date vandals have been targeting this article, and some of their vandalism got through in previous edits... TIA. Add: Also, I've added something to the Talk page that you may want to take a look at... -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 20:41, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
I've noticed IPs changing the episode and/or season number for this episode of iCarly over the last few weeks, but especially during the last few days. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] More watchers needed on this article. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 21:29, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
Pinging IJBall as well. I'm going to go ahead and put this here now, given who it is. See my recent edit there. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 16:25, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
You and IJBall both already watch this and its LOE, right? The parent article especially could use some extra attention today. Season and simultaneously series finale is today, but not until tonight at 8:30 PM. Like with K.C. Undercover, the best course of action is to wait until it's aired both in the East and West Coasts before saying it's ended. I've already had to revert one edit adding the end date to the parent article. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 14:58, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
Hello,
Recently I have noticed on those three pages that multi-IP addresses beginning with "2601:8a:501:50e6:" have been edited to include names belonging to the Family part of the character infoboxes. 1) I don't know where they came from, and 2) this has been removed by me as that would be unsourced content. I also believe that this is made-up by the IP addresses used by this anonymous user/s. Iggy ( Swan) 20:44, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 15#IP 24.118.105.84.
They're back and have been reported to AIV. @ MPFitz1968 and IJBall: In the meantime, please keep an eye on them as well. Thanks. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 21:17, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
It goes without saying that the "season" articles for Handy Mandy are totally unacceptable (i.e. no content aside from a very sparse episodes table), and should be merged back to the LoE article. I will get to that when I can... -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 00:16, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
I'm about 100% certain to WP:PROD this one when I get some time. Subject is not notable under WP:NACTOR ( WP:TOOSOON), and article was created by WP:COI-banned editor. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 00:20, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Just wanted to get second thoughts on this. I just reverted these mass category additions to the article as not WP:DEFINING. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 17:42, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
The most recent episode to air on Disney Channel, " Buffy in a Bottle", is not listed in the current season/volume over at Amazon ( [7]). It is, however, listed at iTunes ( [8]). The release date to both sellers was within hours of its airing on Disney Channel, in the early hours of Tuesday morning (July 24). As I have the current season pass over at Amazon, I contacted a representative sometime on Wednesday (July 25) who said that it's likely a technical problem concerning the content provider (Disney) and was assuring me that it would be available soon, but so far, it's still not in the listing. I might get more suspicious if the next episode, "Keep a Lid on It", also doesn't show up there. I wonder if there are any contractual issues between Disney and Amazon that might be keeping "Buffy in a Bottle" from being available (which would be odd, as I haven't seen any other episodes from other Disney Channel series be withheld - the most recent Stuck in the Middle, Bizaardvark, Bunk'd and Raven's Home episodes that came out this week are all listed).
