Hello, I am trying to establish if there are any specific guidelines about editing TV show episode numbers in advance. I keep coming across an editor ( 120.147.113.111) who routinely advances the number of episodes a TV series has telecast, before the episode has aired.
A current example is the Have You Been Paying Attention? article. The 13th episode went to air yesterday (Sunday 23 March 2014, Australian time) and yesterday this editor has already changed the number of episodes aired to 14 with the notation "as of 30 March 2014", a full week in advance. On Fridays he/she changes episode numbers for shows that don't go to air until the next Monday late afternoon ( Million Dollar Minute, Millionaire Hot Seat). I have tried to communicate with this editor but they choose not to respond; I have also put an note in the episode number editing section saying "only increase number after the episode has gone to air". Again the editor chooses not to do that and continues editing in advance.
I personally feel that editing in advance is incorrect but maybe I'm getting 'carried away'. I would greatly appreciate some assistance. Cheers. Melbourne3163 ( talk) 03:02, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Many thanks for your speedy and helpful replies. Cheers. Melbourne3163 ( talk) 20:23, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

A couple of years ago i did some research on combinations and permutations. I subsequently went back to review the subject and found it had been replaced. Is there any way to access superseded articles? Michael Addison 50.131.118.74 ( talk) 06:19, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Generally speaking, is this a topic notable enough to be worth investing my time into writing? TeleComNasSprVen ( talk • contribs) 09:18, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

After the IMDB link all the entries have an extra "}" after the film title:

Trying to create User:Dougweller/common.js I see the edit field flash up then disappear, leaving me with no way to install a script Dougweller ( talk) 13:43, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
importScript('User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/massRollback.js');//[[User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/massRollback.js]]
so that way whenever
Writ Keeper updates his copy, yours will also be automatically updated. Happy editing and good luck! — {{U|

19:26, 24 March 2014 (UTC)I have been editing a long while (I think about eight years) and never wanted nor was offered Admin status. A relatively new admin is, in my opinion, causing trouble by thinking he is now Dictator of the World and can do what he wants without consensus or discussion. (I can give you the appropriate links but I imagine you are rather busy.) To where should I put this discussion? To strip an admin of his status because it is a privilege not a right, and in my opinion is abusing it. I thought about WP:ANI but that seems the wrong venue.

The Church in Hockering, Norfolk is St. Michael's.
You have a picture (and name)of St. Mary's, North Tuddenham on the Hockering page. Please can you correct this. Heather Flint - Churchwarden Hockering St. Michael — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.96.101.147 ( talk) 18:43, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
I used my Sandbox to create a page for the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor ( Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor), and then I tried to wipe my sandbox clean and start a new article there. Unfortunately, that also wiped clean the main page listed above. How do I unlink the two so that I can use my sandbox for something else?
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom.essinger.hileman ( talk • contribs) 20:43, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
I have not used my Wikipedia account 'Theron McCollough' sense 2011.
I put in my username and ask for password reset but email never comes. I have tried with both my username and my email address, searched user logs and can not find my profile. I want to maintain this as I have made entries and want to maintain my Wiki clout.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.100.59 ( talk) 21:59, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
I was wondering if i was alowed to sell books with alot of information from wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.238.120.93 ( talk) 22:48, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
I wonder how to cite Wikipedia in this special case in publishing, where a compendium, e-learning material or book author (compiler or editor) would use numerous Wikipedia citations for providing bulk, factual text, effectively dominating the work, only still embedded within the compiler/'author's own narrative. Is there a term for this? Is it ok? Could it still be a one-author book? Or is it an anthology? Should Wikipedia authors be acknowledged, perhaps listed, and if so, how? Is it being done, with examples of ok and perhaps not-ok use for guidance? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sofloc ( talk • contribs) 23:01, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
