Cast section[edit]

Cast section on Dani's Castle should not have all those separate tables for each season. That level of detail can go in the episode list for the particular season not the main article. Also it should focus on just the main characters. -AngusWOOF (talk) 17:56, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in loss of editing privileges. Please read edit summaries when your edits are reverted so you don't make the same mistakes over and over. You could be blocked if you continue to disregard warnings. As I have said before, we can't use IMDb as a source. The only things IMDb can be considered truly reliable for are American writing credits and age ratings. (see WP:CITEIMDB) It *can* be used for released films and episodes but not for upcoming things. Also, I have said before that you can't just count forward 13 weeks to find the end date because it doesn't take into account the fact that they might do a two episodes the first or last week. Or, they might put on an episode every weekday as they have done with other summer shows in the past. (see WP:CRYSTAL) Continued disregard for these warnings will constitute vandalism, and could lead to loss of editing privileges.Alicia Florrick (talk) 13:54, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can't really say this though considering I have used IMDb as a source before and it was never deleted for at least a month, so this just proves how reliable IMDb is and you can't stop me from adding reliable sources. Sponge58 (talk) 15:34, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That argument makes no sense. The fact that someone did not revert a problematic edit, doesn't mean that the edit wasn't problematic. See WP:RS/IMDB Also, nobody is trying to stop you from adding reliable sources. That's exactly what we want. We are trying to get you to stop adding unreliable sources. See WP:RS.

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at All at Sea (TV series). Diffs: 14 edits Source provided says nothing about a new season, thus is WP:OR. Future episode date and synopsis is unsourced and dubious. Contravenes WP:CRYSTAL Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:16, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The source I provided on All At Sea (TV Series) is reliable as it does say something about a series 3. If you look further down, it'll say an actor name, their role and the series they star in. In this case, it says 'season 3'.(talk) 15:23, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

In the article you made the statement that season 3 was announced, but you did not provide a sufficient source that "announces" season 3. Finding one document that alludes to season 3 is not the same thing as an announcement. Your claim constitutes original research. Further, you have submitted information about a S3 episode, "Sandcastle", slated to air five months from now, but you have not provided a reliable source. That is not acceptable, especially considering your history of submitting improperly sourced content. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:31, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The Dumping Ground[edit]

Hey,

All edits are appreciated, but there is a certain style that needs go be stuck with. Thinking about it, your cast list might be a good idea, so that can stay. However, with the episodes and episode guide. Double episodes are just 2 episodes and when there are repeats, they are split as the original 2 episodes, so that is how it's always been, so please don't change that. Also, do not add arrivals or departures without a reliable source or until it has happened. I hope you understand and comply with this.

Thanks, Grangehilllover (talk) 10:31, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey,

It doesn't matter if that is how it has always been. Nothing has been confirmed as to whether episodes 1 and 2 follow the same story and will be merged. Things do change, for example the episode count. It has always been 13 episodes from TBR series 1 to TDG series 2. So it is like me saying oh yeah series 3,4,and 5 don't have 20 episodes because 13 is how it's always been. Don't make assumptions until it has been announced.

Thanks, Sponge58 (talk) 14:40, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, You're right about the number of episodes, but if you look at all 3 series of TBR and TDG, they have all had double episodes. So, one of us is wrong and the other is right, but isn't it best to follow the layout how it's always been until there is confirmation either way? I can't make assumptions any more than you can, but if we look at how it has been for 6 years?

January 2016[edit]

Information icon Greetings. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to The Detective (Online Drama Series), contributed colours that were not WCAG AAA Compliant, causing problems for users that have accessibility issues, which must be reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about this at WP:COLOR and Template talk:Infobox television season#Colour, which provide further information about contributing compliant colours to this encyclopedia.

References[edit]

Hi,

Please can you not remove references, even though the episode has aired. The references help verify things when and where possible.

Thanks, Grangehilllover (talk) 19:07, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, References are not necessary once the episode has aired. This is because references are only needed to support the episode when it is first added to the list. Once the episode is aired, references are no longer needed because the episode confirms the information given to the article and references are no longer needed to show this.

Thanks, Sponge58 (talk) 19:27, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

But it's s basic rule of Wikipedia. If references are removed, more than likely one of them notices asking for references for verification will be asked for (you know, those orange and white boxes).

Here's an article explaining why references are used and that...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources

Grangehilllover (talk) 21:38, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well if references are so important, why don't you add them to other episodes of past series? If an episode has already aired, no reference is needed since all information has been proved in the episode!!

Hi,

There is no need to sound rude. Actually, I've done Tracy Beaker Returns episodes quite recently and I am getting round to the other The Dumping Ground series. But I do have a life outside Wikipedia too and I am working on other Wikipedia articles too. It would help if I didn't have to go back and put them in.

Thanks,

I wasn't intending to sound rude but if I did, I apologise.

List of 4 O'Clock Club episodes[edit]

This post is regarding your edits at List of 4 O'Clock Club episodes.

Firstly, you added <!--Do not add a row for Series 6 until a proper table can be created for it. Do not remove Series 5 as it will be airing soon! You may be banned from editing if you keep making disruptive edits.-->. Per WP:TVOVERVIEW: A new season should be added to the overview table only after an episode table has been created for that season.

Next, you added <!--DO NOT REMOVE "2016". YOU DO NOT NEED TO PUT "2016" WHEN THE EPISODES AIR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THEY'LL AIR IN 2016!!!!--> and <!--DO NOT REMOVE 2017. EACH SERIES HAS AIRED ONE YEAR AFTER THE PREVIOUS. THEREFORE, 2017 WILL NEED TO STAY UNLESS IT IS STATED OTHERWISE. LETS JUST KEEP IT AS THE USUAL LAYOUT FOR NOW!-->. Per WP:TVUPCOMING: However, years should not be added to said section heading until an episode actually airs in that calendar year. For example, for the eleventh season of NCIS, the heading on its list of episodes page would have been "Season 11" until September 23, 2013. After episode 1 aired on September 24, 2013, it would be changed to "Season 11: 2013". And finally, once episode 12 aired on January 7, 2014, it would be changed once again to "Season 11: 2013–14"..

Please keep these in mind - further disruptive editing, infringing the above, may be reported. Alex|The|Whovian? 00:00, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am currently blocked from editing because I have been falsely accused of sockpuppetry. So I can't edit an article which has false information. Yet again, some one keeps putting 'Joel Chigwende' as the writer of 'Leaving' and 'Ferret' on List of 4 O'Clock Club episodes. I previously added a source to show that 'Paul Rose' wrote the episode. I also googled 'Joel Chigwende' and found there is no such person. These edits need to removed and restored back to the correct ones. I would do it myself but I am currently unable to. I was wondering if you could do it. Sponge58 (talk) 19:40, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

Hi there. Wikipedia is neither an indiscriminate collection of information, nor is it a vanity site, nor is it a place to advertise fan projects or any other sort of thing. The recent articles you created, The Detective (TV series), and Our House (Online series) are problematic because they do not meet our various WP:NOTABILITY criteria. At the very least, per our general notability guideline an article should only be created when there is significant coverage from reliable published sources that are independent of the subject. That means they must have received attention from mainstream publications with established reputations for fact-checking, and a clear editorial policy. There are more specific criteria for companies, musical groups, films, etc. You should familiarize yourself with these criteria if you intend to create articles and edit here, as repeated creation of problematic articles is almost always considered disruptive.

Shouty edit summaries[edit]

Hi there, regarding this recent edit summary at List of 4 O'Clock Club episodes where you sort of wonder aloud "Whoever keeps putting other writers is actually pathetic (sorry but its true)." You do realize that there's an edit history for the article, right? It only takes a half-minute of looking to discover that IP 79.66.80.198 is responsible for these two edits: [4][5]. Once you identify who's submitting unsourced content, you can open a discussion on their talk page, or you can warn them using an appropriate template. I have already warned them, so there's no need for you to do it. Please remember that personal attacks are not acceptable at Wikipedia. You shouldn't be calling anybody pathetic, because it contravenes our policy on civility. The other shouty edit summaries you've added are not helpful and are only likely to make trolls want to mess with you. If you keep a cool head, you may find that things go easier around here. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:10, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have been socking since 2014. You also continue to submit the same type of problematic content, like copyright violations, that resulted in your first account being blocked. You have also denied socking, which is clearly a lie. You have added promotional articles with no regard for notability criteria. There's no indication you comprehend why any of your disruptive behavior is disruptive, which raises questions about your competence. Also, we won't unblock any sock accounts. You'd have to file an unblock request from your earliest account, whatever that is. If you choose to go that route, be sure to format your unblock request properly, because you've failed to do that twice. You can consider the standard offer, but I think waiting a few years before requesting an unblock might be a better idea, and I think that disclosing every account you've had at Wikipedia would be a nice touch.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

  • You have been repeatedly creating articles about your own non-notable productions since at least July 2015, and have kept on doing so despite repeated deletions of them. Why should we believe you have suddenly changed now that you have been blocked? Also, this is a sock account, and it is usual for you to request unblock on your original account. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:18, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Since the user admitted that the Brothers project is his, that directly links him to Jake Uniacke/Cartman810, so I have declined the request on the basis that we would never unblock a sock account no matter how much he protests.

Unblock[edit]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

the block is no longer necessary because I understand what I have been blocked for, will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and will make useful contributions instead. I understand that I have created articles about personal projects in the past but that is because I thought it was okay. I now understand it isn't. You can't go round throwing accusations about saying I'm a so called 'sock puppet'. My contributions to the Wikipedia articles such as List of 4 O'Clock Club episodes are important as there is always a troll adding false information, which I always end up correcting because no one else does it. Please unblock me. I will only edit articles with correct and reliable information with the reliable sources needed. I am NOT a sock puppet. I am a normal Wikipedia user who edits articles for the greater good of the community. My behavior was unacceptable, I know. I have learnt from that and will not do it again. I am sorry. Sponge58 (talk) 18:04, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

For reasons already mentioned. We will not unblock any account made in violation of a previous block or ban. You would need to submit a request from the first account that was blocked indefinitely. Your failure to read things clearly is becoming irritating, and if you file an unblock request here again, I will revoke your talk page access. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

  • You blatantly *are* a sock puppet - your admission that the Brothers project is yours coupled with the evidence at the SPI case makes your denial utterly implausible. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:32, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Boing! said Zebedee I remember being young and believing that if you denied something strongly enough then it never happened. We had a strawberry patch in the back yard and I used to sneak into it periodically to steal the ripest berries. I would always deny it and could never understand why my mother didn't believe me. Now that I'm older and wiser it's clear to me that you cannot plausibly deny being in the strawberry patch when you have strawberries smeared up the side of your cheek.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 18:40, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hehe, that's very true. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:49, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can tell you for a fact that I am not a sock puppet. Just because I've had previous accounts, it doesn't prove what your accusing me of. I despise people who accuse me of things that I am not. I created an article about my own personal project? So what? How does THAT prove I'm a sock puppet? It doesn't. I'm simply creating a page. Its like saying I create a new article about a new series of The Dumping Ground. "Oh you created an article so you're a sock puppet". That's not how it works. A sock puppet is a constant disrupter and a troll. I am neither of those. Sponge58 (talk) 18:36, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A sockpuppet is an editor who abuses multiple accounts contrary to WP:SOCK, including creating new accounts to evade a block as you have done here. --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 18:41, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't create an account because I'm a 'sock puppet' if that's what you want to call me. I created it because I enjoy editing Wikipedia with content to help others. You can't block me for doing that! Stop accusing me of things I'm not doing. Sponge58 (talk) 18:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
User talk:Cyphoidbomb, Sorry for not reading it clearly. I'm not a strong reader. Why don't you think before you start insulting people saying them 'not reading something clearly is irritating'. Sponge58 (talk) 18:50, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The issue here is your persistent disruption, copyright violations, self-promotion, and sockpuppetry. These all involve choices that you've actively made. Focus on that. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:55, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
OK, one last chance to come clean before you lose the ability to edit this talk page: Are you honestly claiming that the account User:Cartman810, which was called User:Jake Uniacke before it was changed by request and which is now blocked, was not your account? Before you answer, remember that Brothers, which you admit is your production, was "created & produced by Uniacke Animations". And also try to recall that User:Cartman810, User:Cartman443, User:Cartman567 and this User:Sponge58 account all edited the same articles. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:58, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay! I never said that the accounts didn't belong to me did I? But yes, I did previously own them accounts. At the time, I was younger so I didn't understand WHY I was being blocked so created a new account because I couldn't understand why and could not accept the consequences of my actions. I now understand why. Also, I am Uniacke Animations but I'm obviously not going to put that as a Wikipedia account am I? Uniacke Animations is a Youtube Channel. But I will deny sock puppetry as I did not perform sock puppet acts. Sponge58 (talk) 19:05, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Right, and at WP:Sock puppetry it says "The use of multiple Wikipedia user accounts for an improper purpose is called sock puppetry (often abbreviated in discussion as socking). Improper purposes include attempts to ... evade blocks...". As your original account, and all your others, are blocked, creating this one falls under evading blocks, and so by definition this account is a sock puppet account as the very act of creating it is a sock puppet act - and your continuing denial is blatantly false. Now, as I said I would do if you continued to deny the obvious, I have now removed your ability to edit this talk page. If you want make another unblock request, do it on your original account or via WP:UTRS. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:13, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
