Hi there! Thanks for adding the references, but is the IMDb really the only source available? According to Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb, it looks like it's usually not ok to cite the IMDb, because it's not considered reliable. Can we find any sources that might be better?

Outside of Survivor, she has several model titles such as Miss Utah Teen USA 2010 and Miss Utah 2014. Do the Miss USA beauty pageants not make her notable enough for her own article? WP:ONEEVENT shouldn't apply because she is both a model with titles to her name and a contestant of a very notable television show.-- Ointment09 ( talk) 22:57, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Are you absolutely sure about redirecting Ami Cusack? She does appear to have some notability beyond Survivor. I'd admit that some contestants really shouldn't have articles, but I'd have kept hers. Survivorfan1995 ( talk) 16:52, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Are you sure Tyson shouldn't have his own article? His article was nominated for deletion a couple years back and the result was to keep. I would argue that he does have some notability beyond Survivor as is shown in the article. I just think that the article probably needs some expansion. You think we should get consensus on this one? Survivorfan1995 ( talk) 05:13, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
@ Survivorfan1995: - being that Tyson is most notable for his winning season, rather than the seasons where he was eliminated early on, does it make sense to you at all why I had the page redirected to Blood vs. Water instead of the contestants page? Sandra is redirected to the contestants page because she won two seasons, so to avoid picking one, the contestants page is an easy compromise. But being that Tyson is most notable for Blood vs. Water, as he won it, I'd say the best redirect location would be to that season's page. Gloss • talk 19:43, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I understand your issue with dead space at the end of the page caused by placing the Jury vote table on the next, however by using the "width=100%" function, it bloats smaller tables, such as post-merge voting histories (like in BvW) and jury votes unnecessarily. I have edited the Survivor: Borneo table in a matter that I hope satisfies both of our specifications. If a table doesn't need to be larger, then why do it? I am just confused as to why you want the tables to hit the end. It's one thing to do the opposite, such as splitting up the BvW or Caramoan tables because they're too wide for the page, but making sure that they take up the full width is not something I have yet to grasp. - Katanin ( talk) 21:27, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, as I was removing links to other redirected pages, I started to wonder exactly why an article with no links to it needed to be redirected instead of being just deleted. With no links to it, who would even come across the page to be redirected to Survivor: Palau in the first place? I just assumed that if I blanked the page, an admin would come by and delete the article altogether. But if you think it's better the other way, I have no problem with that. I just thought I'd try something different and see how well it went over. We could discuss it if you like. Survivorfan1995 ( talk) 02:33, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

On the talk page of the James Avery (actor) article you have said that reliable sources have verified he was 68, born 1945. But that source of information has only come from the publicist who said he was 68 which many media have used. However public records [1] show his date of birth as 27 Nov 1948 making 65. I would consider this to be the most reliable source. Before his death and before his publicist announced his age as 68 when he died sources online had his date of birth as 1948. I would say that the publicist has been in error. 79.97.208.89 ( talk) 03:32, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I seriously doubt these guys have much notability beyond Survivor. Like you told me about Tyson, just because somebody's done some cool stuff doesn't make them notable. Jeff's an anchor for a local news station, Hayden was a game show contestant on two shows, and Coach is a music conductor. These things by themselves don't constitute notability for the encyclopedia. They need to be significant people. Everybody else seems good for now, but I'm just not seeing that these three pass the notability guidelines. Are you absolutely sure I need to get consensus? Some of the previous discussions for these articles had pretty weak arguments. Survivorfan1995 ( talk) 05:36, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey, in case you didn't know about it, Russell used to have his own article, but it got redirected for "notability" reasons.

My edits to the pictures in
Survivor: Cook Islands were a response to
this request at the Help Desk
The problem with composing page layouts are that they look radically different depending on what they are viewed on, which can be from a huge HD internat enabled screen, to a phone. Personally, with my screen settings, the current arrangement looks poor, as the photos drift down past the first table and the intervening text alongside the second table - but, as I say, the changes were made at the request of another user. Can I suggest you discuss this with

@ Survivorfan1995: - I don't see anything wrong with the way it looks now. If the issue is that it runs down into the next section, we can remove one of the images. The images are only there to fill in some of the dead space next to the table and provide an example of what one or two of the contestants look like. Having them in a gallery at the top makes it seem like this section is only about those pictured players. On my screen, there isn't much of a gap between the table and the images, though I don't know what that looks like on your screen. But since everyone works with different screens, not everyone can always be pleased. So in this case it might make the most sense to stick with the format that articles have been using for as long as they've been around.. with the pictures to the right of the table - that hasn't had any complaints before that I'm aware about. Gloss • talk 18:50, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

The chart doesn't begin until waaaaaaay down here (it's wider than most of the other charts since this season had four tribes instead of the usual two).You see all the white space to the left of the images?

Why don't we come back to the colors it originally was, and then you get a WP:CONSENSUS on the talk page instead of me, since it's you who are trying to change the colors and I'm the one trying to revert it. This way is more coherent to what you're trying to do.

OK then, but those colors do not fit well together. If the problem was this, you should have told me the first time to avoid moments like this.
Later, if you don't figure out other colors that fit better together, I'll do it, but for now I have a suggestion: "004225" for Season 1 and "B2BEB5" for Season 2.
By the way, since you are clearly more skilled than me, the page needs separeted Season 1 and 2 sections. - Artmanha ( talk) 00:34, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Do watch any TV show other than 'The Following', if so, you probably "follow" its wikipedia page. So, there's a page only to a season rather than just the "episode list". For instance, "American Horror Story" and "Nikita":
/info/en/?search=American_Horror_Story:_Murder_House
/info/en/?search=American_Horror_Story:_Asylum
/info/en/?search=American_Horror_Story:_Coven
/info/en/?search=Nikita_(season_1)

Hi Gloss,
I saw that you reverted my revert on the Hoffman article. I think it is completely fine to have a line about his separation from O'Donnell, but I also think that it is extremely important to have reliable sources for anything we add to the personal life/death subsections – especially now that his death is still being investigated and so many people seem to be confused about the purpose of WP and add content from The National Enquirer and other gossip rags. If we allow non-sourced content about his personal life, I fear that the vandalism to the article will just increase as people add speculation and unnecessary detail. Furthermore, I am not entirely sure whether O'Donnell has stated that their relationship had ended, or whether they were simply living apart/taking a break due to Hoffman's drug relapse (I recall reading that she had asked Hoffman to move away as she didn't want their children exposed to his drug use – i.e. separate living arrangements but not necessarily the end of their relationship). I'm not going to revert your revert as I don't want to start an edit war, but if you have time, could you please find a reliable source and possibly rewrite the sentence as well ('actors' –> 'actor's' etc.)? I (and am sure many other editors and readers as well) would be very grateful!

It looks like you made a bulk nomination of a bunch of sidebars like this at TfD, but you didn't include Morgan Freeman with that nomination. Just to let you know. Regards, Mz7 ( talk) 17:08, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Is it really necessary force these to be relisted at AfD for three weeks straight just get to the same outcome? Participation in fiction related AfDs had gone down recently, so it takes a good while to actually get anywhere. Another likely possibility would just end up being the closing admin saying to use normally merging procedures, which would lead us right back to here anyway. These characters are not ones that have received significant coverage as far as I've been able to tell, and they have plenty of detail on the character list. It would be one thing if you were objecting based on believing in the possibility for potential improvement, but you seem to be objecting solely based on the process instead. In that case, could you please just let them be redirected until another person objects? TTN ( talk) 02:07, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi! I'm still not so sure about the Survivor template as it is. I mean Panama, Cook Islands, and Fiji are now completely absent from it and there's a lot of wasted space. Are u absolutely sure this way's better? Survivorfan1995 ( talk) 05:40, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm assuming good faith with your actions at this page and assuming you walked away from it because you realised you were edit warring. I'd like to remind you that you don't have to do more than 3 reverts in 24 hours to be guilty of edit warring - that's just a bright red line which makes it pretty clear you're edit warring. Anyway I've just blocked three editors for edit warring on that page. I suggest you don't try and take advantage of their blocks unless you also wish to find yourself blocked. That probably comes across a bit harsher than I mean it to but I wanted to be fair and spell out the possible consequences if you did continue even though I believe you probably won't.

As you can tell, the Survivor template is becoming more and more bulky. With more seasons means more contestants. In other words, the template will only get bigger. I propose we eliminate every all star season ( Survivor: All Stars, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains etc). This way, the template will be less overwhelming for a reader. Your thoughts?

The Islanders' website is notarious for not updating it's roster. For the 2008-2009 season, I recalled that Mike Sillinger was named as an Alternate Captain, but was injured. Doug Weight and Richard Park were alternating while he was out. After Sillinger's return, the site never listed Sillinger nor Park with an A eventhough Silly, Park and Weight were alternating. I had to prove that this was in fact the case with the NHL game sheets. I did not list the replacement alternates in the current NHL captains and alternates page (which is not supposed to list temporary alternates). Thank you Raul17 ( talk) 03:33, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gloss,
I noticed you restored my removal of the "Hispanic and Latino American women in television" category from pages and thought I should explain further. When categories have been nominated for deletion, I've often seen a bot remove them from the pages that include them. This could be a fault of the bot, though, so I'll leave them for now.

Hey there Gloss! I'm writing to you to inquire about how voting tables have been setup for seasons where they are large enough to disrupt the margin on the side of the page. I understand breaking the single voting table into two prevents this and I like that the margin isn't messed with in this situation. However, in my opinion, I think the empty space it leaves on the right side of the page is too large and that we should consider turning it back into one table. If you look at the South Pacific and Philippines pages, I have merged them back into one table but reduced the text size to make it fit without messing up the margin. I'd appreciate any feedback you have on it and if you think we could do this for other seasons. Thanks! BlueDevil54 ( talk) 21:28, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Outside of Survivor, she has several model titles such as Miss Utah Teen USA 2010 and Miss Utah 2014. Do the Miss USA beauty pageants not make her notable enough for her own article?

Hi. Are you sure Tyson shouldn't have his own article? His article was nominated for deletion a couple years back and the result was to keep.

Survivorfan1995 ( talk) 05:13, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
@ Survivorfan1995: - being that Tyson is most notable for his winning season, rather than the seasons where he was eliminated early on, does it make sense to you at all why I had the page redirected to Blood vs. Water instead of the contestants page? Sandra is redirected to the contestants page because she won two seasons, so to avoid picking one, the contestants page is an easy compromise. But being that Tyson is most notable for Blood vs. Water, as he won it, I'd say the best redirect location would be to that season's page. Gloss • talk 19:43, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I understand your issue with dead space at the end of the page caused by placing the Jury vote table on the next, however by using the "width=100%" function, it bloats smaller tables, such as post-merge voting histories (like in BvW) and jury votes unnecessarily. I have edited the Survivor: Borneo table in a matter that I hope satisfies both of our specifications. If a table doesn't need to be larger, then why do it? I am just confused as to why you want the tables to hit the end. It's one thing to do the opposite, such as splitting up the BvW or Caramoan tables because they're too wide for the page, but making sure that they take up the full width is not something I have yet to grasp. - Katanin ( talk) 21:27, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, as I was removing links to other redirected pages, I started to wonder exactly why an article with no links to it needed to be redirected instead of being just deleted. With no links to it, who would even come across the page to be redirected to Survivor: Palau in the first place? I just assumed that if I blanked the page, an admin would come by and delete the article altogether. But if you think it's better the other way, I have no problem with that. I just thought I'd try something different and see how well it went over. We could discuss it if you like. Survivorfan1995 ( talk) 02:33, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

On the talk page of the James Avery (actor) article you have said that reliable sources have verified he was 68, born 1945. But that source of information has only come from the publicist who said he was 68 which many media have used. However public records [1] show his date of birth as 27 Nov 1948 making 65. I would consider this to be the most reliable source. Before his death and before his publicist announced his age as 68 when he died sources online had his date of birth as 1948. I would say that the publicist has been in error. 79.97.208.89 ( talk) 03:32, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I seriously doubt these guys have much notability beyond Survivor. Like you told me about Tyson, just because somebody's done some cool stuff doesn't make them notable. Jeff's an anchor for a local news station, Hayden was a game show contestant on two shows, and Coach is a music conductor. These things by themselves don't constitute notability for the encyclopedia. They need to be significant people. Everybody else seems good for now, but I'm just not seeing that these three pass the notability guidelines. Are you absolutely sure I need to get consensus? Some of the previous discussions for these articles had pretty weak arguments. Survivorfan1995 ( talk) 05:36, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

My edits to the pictures in
Survivor: Cook Islands were a response to
this request at the Help Desk
The problem with composing page layouts are that they look radically different depending on what they are viewed on, which can be from a huge HD internat enabled screen, to a phone. Personally, with my screen settings, the current arrangement looks poor, as the photos drift down past the first table and the intervening text alongside the second table - but, as I say, the changes were made at the request of another user.

@ Survivorfan1995: - I don't see anything wrong with the way it looks now. If the issue is that it runs down into the next section, we can remove one of the images. The images are only there to fill in some of the dead space next to the table and provide an example of what one or two of the contestants look like. Having them in a gallery at the top makes it seem like this section is only about those pictured players. On my screen, there isn't much of a gap between the table and the images, though I don't know what that looks like on your screen. But since everyone works with different screens, not everyone can always be pleased. So in this case it might make the most sense to stick with the format that articles have been using for as long as they've been around.. with the pictures to the right of the table - that hasn't had any complaints before that I'm aware about. Gloss • talk 18:50, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I can't help but wonder..... are you intentionally following my edits? I wouldn't go so far as to call you a stalker (and hope you don't become one), but it is interesting how you sometimes seem to follow my edits rather closely..... especially since you just re-added IMDb for five articles I removed it from (due to it not being seen as a reliable source).....

"Undid revision 594898735 by Artmanha (talk) no, my friend. you're reverting based on your own dislike of the color, not based off of any actual policy or manual of style requirement"
And what is the reason why your reverting the colors, because by the way I see, it is the same one you claimed I had. So, why don't you stop trying to rule the page because you don't. Yes, you can contribute to the page, but you're not the only one who can do it.
Those colors you are trying to put are there simply because you disliked the other ones and they're "not based off of any actual policy or manual of style requirement". You're not in the position to say this to me.
You're more than welcome to contribute to the page by bringing actual referenced information. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artmanha ( talk • contribs) 23:37, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Why don't we come back to the colors it originally was, and then you get a WP:CONSENSUS on the talk page instead of me, since it's you who are trying to change the colors and I'm the one trying to revert it. This way is more coherent to what you're trying to do.
I appreciate your comprehension. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artmanha ( talk • contribs) 00:11, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
OK then, but those colors do not fit well together. If the problem was this, you should have told me the first time to avoid moments like this.
Later, if you don't figure out other colors that fit better together, I'll do it, but for now I have a suggestion: "004225" for Season 1 and "B2BEB5" for Season 2.
By the way, since you are clearly more skilled than me, the page needs separeted Season 1 and 2 sections. - Artmanha ( talk) 00:34, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Do watch any TV show other than 'The Following', if so, you probably "follow" its wikipedia page. So, there's a page only to a season rather than just the "episode list". For instance, "American Horror Story" and "Nikita":
/info/en/?search=American_Horror_Story:_Murder_House
/info/en/?search=American_Horror_Story:_Asylum
/info/en/?search=American_Horror_Story:_Coven
/info/en/?search=Nikita_(season_1)
/info/en/?search=Nikita_(season_2)
/info/en/?search=Nikita_(season_3)
/info/en/?search=Nikita_(season_4)
Thats what I meant. - Artmanha ( talk) 00:45, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gloss,
I saw that you reverted my revert on the Hoffman article. I think it is completely fine to have a line about his separation from O'Donnell, but I also think that it is extremely important to have reliable sources for anything we add to the personal life/death subsections – especially now that his death is still being investigated and so many people seem to be confused about the purpose of WP and add content from The National Enquirer and other gossip rags. If we allow non-sourced content about his personal life, I fear that the vandalism to the article will just increase as people add speculation and unnecessary detail. Furthermore, I am not entirely sure whether O'Donnell has stated that their relationship had ended, or whether they were simply living apart/taking a break due to Hoffman's drug relapse (I recall reading that she had asked Hoffman to move away as she didn't want their children exposed to his drug use – i.e. separate living arrangements but not necessarily the end of their relationship). I'm not going to revert your revert as I don't want to start an edit war, but if you have time, could you please find a reliable source and possibly rewrite the sentence as well ('actors' –> 'actor's' etc.)? I (and am sure many other editors and readers as well) would be very grateful!
All the best,

Hi there! I just removed the TfD template from Template:Morgan Freeman sidebar, which you added, because the template doesn't appear to be under discussion at February 17's log. It looks like you made a bulk nomination of a bunch of sidebars like this at TfD, but you didn't include Morgan Freeman with that nomination. Just to let you know. Regards, Mz7 ( talk) 17:08, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Is it really necessary force these to be relisted at AfD for three weeks straight just get to the same outcome? Participation in fiction related AfDs had gone down recently, so it takes a good while to actually get anywhere. Another likely possibility would just end up being the closing admin saying to use normally merging procedures, which would lead us right back to here anyway. These characters are not ones that have received significant coverage as far as I've been able to tell, and they have plenty of detail on the character list. It would be one thing if you were objecting based on believing in the possibility for potential improvement, but you seem to be objecting solely based on the process instead. In that case, could you please just let them be redirected until another person objects? TTN ( talk) 02:07, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm assuming good faith with your actions at this page and assuming you walked away from it because you realised you were edit warring. I'd like to remind you that you don't have to do more than 3 reverts in 24 hours to be guilty of edit warring - that's just a bright red line which makes it pretty clear you're edit warring. Anyway I've just blocked three editors for edit warring on that page. I suggest you don't try and take advantage of their blocks unless you also wish to find yourself blocked. That probably comes across a bit harsher than I mean it to but I wanted to be fair and spell out the possible consequences if you did continue even though I believe you probably won't.

As you can tell, the Survivor template is becoming more and more bulky. With more seasons means more contestants. In other words, the template will only get bigger. I propose we eliminate every all star season ( Survivor: All Stars, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains etc). This way, the template will be less overwhelming for a reader. Your thoughts?

The Islanders' website is notarious for not updating it's roster. For the 2008-2009 season, I recalled that Mike Sillinger was named as an Alternate Captain, but was injured. Doug Weight and Richard Park were alternating while he was out. After Sillinger's return, the site never listed Sillinger nor Park with an A eventhough Silly, Park and Weight were alternating. I had to prove that this was in fact the case with the NHL game sheets. I did not list the replacement alternates in the current NHL captains and alternates page (which is not supposed to list temporary alternates). Thank you Raul17 ( talk) 03:33, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gloss,
I noticed you restored my removal of the "Hispanic and Latino American women in television" category from pages and thought I should explain further. When categories have been nominated for deletion, I've often seen a bot remove them from the pages that include them. This could be a fault of the bot, though, so I'll leave them for now. That is all.

Thanks for catching my first oops on the catching fire. I had cut Prim to move it to order it as billed in the film then pressed save instead of preview, you undid it before I had fixed the cast list (which made another error).

I noticed this revert [3]. Preview that just aired on CBS indicates that the swap will take place in Episode 4. All Survivor Wikipedia precedent says we can update the contestants list in advanced.

Revert and risk violating the 3RR, be my guest. More than just a single admin, consensus has tolerated empty cells ( [4], here is one example). See the village pump discussion linked above.

Hey there Gloss! I'm writing to you to inquire about how voting tables have been setup for seasons where they are large enough to disrupt the margin on the side of the page. I understand breaking the single voting table into two prevents this and I like that the margin isn't messed with in this situation. However, in my opinion, I think the empty space it leaves on the right side of the page is too large and that we should consider turning it back into one table. If you look at the South Pacific and Philippines pages, I have merged them back into one table but reduced the text size to make it fit without messing up the margin. I'd appreciate any feedback you have on it and if you think we could do this for other seasons. Thanks! BlueDevil54 ( talk) 21:28, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
