Information icon Hello, I'm GoneIn60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Twisted Colossus, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Twisted Colossus

I know you mean well, but it might be too early to list the final specifications of the ride. At the very least, we should include multiple sources that state the same numbers. RCDB.com is a reliable source good for using in a pinch, but others are needed to complement it. And if it is included in the article, let's use better approximations. Saying the total dual track length is cut in half isn't necessary, and it's less than half by the way. I'm sure we can come up with a better way to describe track changes. Also, the height of the coaster decreases by 4 feet, not 5. --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:14, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Infobox images

As we've discussed previously, infobox images should not be 300px. The MOS says lead images should be no wider than 300px, not that they must be that size. Infobox images normally default to 220px, and we normally set them between that and 250px, occasionally going up to 270 px but there is absolutely nothing to be gained by setting them larger, especially given the quality of the non-free images. We covered this previously, but I see all the Total Drama images have been increased again. --AussieLegend (✉) 18:23, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

The infoboxes are still under 300px and wider infoboxes means more space for horizontal text and therefore less linebreaks for main series articles Giggett (talk) 18:25, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
We don't use images to force the infobox width. We use {{Plainlist}} where necessary in the infoboxes and hgenerally avoid line breaks. --AussieLegend (✉) 18:36, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Very well then, I'll go ahead and resize the infoboxes on some of the Total Drama articles, but please do not resize the images themselves since they can still be uploaded at 300px, just in case they are used somewhere else that are not infoboxes. But I do agree that infoboxes should not be wider than 300px though, so I'll make sure they stay that way Giggett (talk) 18:41, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Infobox images are only generally used in the infoboxes. It's generally not appropriate to use them anywhere else, and since they aren't usually larger than 270px, there's no point uploading them at larger sizes. We only upload non-free images at sizes they need to be. Do I need to raise the use of these images at WP:NFCR? --AussieLegend (✉) 19:16, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Well I say 270px is too small, while you say 300px is too big, so in that case we should just re-upload all the non-free infobox logo images back at 285px, how about that? Problem solved Giggett (talk) 19:23, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

February 2015

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.
You've now been reverted by more than one editor. AussieLegend (✉) 19:58, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Just be clear, it's not what you want,[1] it's what is acceptable that is the issue. --AussieLegend (✉) 19:59, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Total Drama.png

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Total Drama.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. AussieLegend (✉) 08:41, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Infobox fields

Please use infobox fields in accordance with the infobox instructions. "Fifth season of the Total Drama series" is not an appropriate caption, which is supposed to be a description of the image. the images are not the "Fifth season of the Total Drama series", they are logos for the different parts of the fifth season. That said, that is far too wordy for a caption. What was there is more than sufficient. As a general guide, if you need to go beyond two lines for a caption, then it's far too long. Adding horizontal rules is definitely a no-no. --AussieLegend (✉) 03:04, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

This edit makes more sense than including the information in the infobox, as the infobox did not explain how the winner was "either / or". --AussieLegend (✉) 03:15, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

{{reflist}}

Just to be clear, {{reflist|colwidth=30em}} doesn't set the page to 4 columns. The number of columns varies according to your browser. On mine it appears as two columns, on another PC that I use it's 3. Your browser must be set to display 4. Based on your recent change to 300px for thumbnails, when the default is 220px, it appears you are using non-standard settings. I'm afraid that's something that you have to work around, you can't expect everyone else to compensate for your non-standard settings. Like 220px for thumbnails, 30em is the standard for column widths and was chosen to provide the best output on most monitors. Changing it to suit personal preference is inappropriate. Wikipedia is for everyone, not everyone using only your computer. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:17, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

TV.com

Sorry but no, tv.com is NOT a reliable source for episode content. We allow it in the "External links" section (we even have templates for that ) but it can't be used in citations. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:54, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Total Drama "Broadcast" table

Please note the following:

  1. We are required to make articles accessible, per MOS:ACCESS.
  2. WP:OVERLINK is quite clear, the names of major geographic features and locations are not linked. In short, don't link country names.
  3. WP:TVINTL says to "detail noteworthy (see next paragraph) foreign broadcasts, from English-speaking countries, through prose form". (emphasis added). Until such time as the MOS is changed, we only detail English speaking countries. The MOS overrides any ongoing discussions.
  4. The heading specified in the MOS for the "Broadcast" section is "Broadcast" not "Broadcasting".
  5. WP:DATERANGE says a pure year–year range is written with the range's "end" year usually abbreviated to two digits.

Regarding your edit summary, "WP:TVINTL says that you can also have non-English countries listed as long as they are notable, and that prose thing is still under discussion", that's quite incorrect. The MOS currently restricts content to English-speaking countries, as explained above. We were actually discussing allowing non-English broadcasts but that discussion has run out of steam and isn't going anywhere. We were not discussing use of prose. Prose has always been preferred. In 2013 most articles were converted from tables to prose, but there are still some that need to be fixed. Total Drama is one of them.

Your edits removed the all of the MOS compliance that I had just added to the table. Such edits can be seen as disruptive. Please do not do so again and please stop fighting edits that are made in order to bring articles into compliance with the MOS. --AussieLegend (✉) 18:14, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Total Drama Ridonculous Race

Why didn't they want the Total Drama Revenge of the Island or All Stars characters to return on the Ridonculous Race Spin Off ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:E:1980:532:286A:68C6:6449:C0E5 (talk) 22:09, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Well if you go on the Total Drama Wiki they kinda figured out the returning characters already and looks like they are from All-Stars while 1 of them also from Season 4 Giggett (talk)

But Who would it be ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C5:C501:7919:4960:AAFC:B924:3465 (talk) 20:10, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

So far they have Geoff Owen Noah and someone else but they think Owen might be separate since the producers say they have "special plans" for him Giggett (talk) 22:50, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

My old characters are coming back yay, Wait But what about the Pahktiew Island characters ? like Ella Sky and Dave will they return ??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C5:C501:7919:C4EB:3167:810D:44F4 (talk) 19:00, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

The are too new to be considered for a return Giggett (talk) 00:32, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Oh. so that means they will not return right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C5:C501:7919:681A:86DF:5EBD:B9F7 (talk) 19:17, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Nope I was wrong, looks like Leonard is returning too who is from TDPI Giggett (talk) 16:19, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

it's okay. we all make mistakes. but how do they even make so quick on youtube ? were they suppose to show it on youtube or are they suppose to show it on tv first ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C5:C501:7919:158:D797:8540:F215 (talk) 17:25, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

It got leaked on YouTube first, but it's not airing until the fall. Kinda coincidence how we all watch the first episode on June 10th, and then have to wait 3 months for Episode 2, this is exactly what the Canadians had to do in 2010 for TDWT Giggett (talk) 23:00, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Really? Interesting I would wondering what they did it. When would they show on TV In Michigan that's where I live in now ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C5:C501:7919:99CF:7062:AA4B:9CA4 (talk) 21:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Canada is set to air it in the fall, so if they air it first then guess it's YouTube for everyone else, but as far as I see it looks like the USA might also air the RR in the fall too, so around September maybe, same time as TDAS Giggett (talk) 21:28, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

It's coming in Sept ? My Kids can't wait.

Yes it is, it airs on Labor Day at 5:00 pm Giggett (talk) 22:55, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Oh good. My kids is waiting for that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C5:C501:16F7:A9F4:E04:3B8E:DD10 (talk) 21:32, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Jurassic World

This is a reading comprehension issue. The article does not say that Jurassic World was "the highest grossing domestic film of all time". That doesn't make any sense with $511.8 mil compared to Avengers: Age of Ultron. The source is talking about the opening. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:12, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Jurassic World gross

Its projected to hit that $416M at some point today. Since that is just a projection, and today's still ongoing, it cannot be counted to the film's total gross. That all make sense? TropicAces (talk) 21:23, 22 June 2015 (UTC)tropicAces

Information icon Hello, I'm Betty Logan. Your recent edit to the page List of highest-grossing films appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Betty Logan (talk) 21:45, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

imdb

Imdb is not a reliable source for episode information and consequently can NOT be used in citations, even if it's the only source you can find. It's best to wait until a reliable source is available. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:00, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

On episode 2, it showed each teams with their finish places. Y'all need to enter them on the elimination table instead of in and out! Also add some color! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.86.51.54 (talk) 00:02, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Yeah I know, but I couldn't catch it on my first view due it going so fast and not being able to memorize it on the fly. I had to watch it again when it aired on the West Coast and I tried to put the info in the best I could remember. Hope I'm right Giggett (talk) 01:43, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Linking to copyright violations

Please do not link to copyright violations as you did twice here and here. AussieLegend was kind enough to point you to WP:LINKVIO, which I can only assume you did not bother to read before you resubmitted the problematic links.
