Recent edit wars about citation?

I'll admit, this is a better class of disagreement (for which we thank you), but I must chide both User:CastJared and User:Indagate for both being at 3RR. As opposed to warning you two individually, I thought I'd start a discussion thread, which one of you should have already done (both of you are experienced trusted users) so you can hash things out on talk. Take this as a warning, folks. No more mainspace edits on this dispute from either of you or I will block the offender. Please, discuss yourselves out of trouble. Thanks for all your efforts.

I'm going to take a liberty and weigh in on this dispute, which is unusual for me. Neither of the supplied sources (screenrant nor variety) support the assertion of "June 2024". Screenrant says 2024 and nothing more. Variety says summer 2024 and claims their source says the show will not appear in time for the May 31, 2024 Emmy deadline. Claiming June 2024 is original synthesis, based on just these two sources. This is NOT a reasonable calculation, it's simply an uncited claim. BusterD (talk) 14:41, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Euphoria is the same thing as involved, as it claiming October 2024, and clash release dates each. CastJared (talk) 15:12, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What? I don't understand your post. BusterD (talk) 18:30, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:List of House of the Dragon characters

Like Draft:List of The White Lotus characters, this could end up splitting. CastJared (talk) 13:02, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This submission has been declined. I am going to remove the proposed split template from the article. — Manti core 01:39, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Viserys, Rhaenyra, and Daemon?

Just asking should we give Viserys, Rhaenyra, and Daemon wikipedia articles? HiGuys69420 (talk) 04:04, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dedicated article for each season?

Should there be a dedicated article for each season? What do people think? JDiala (talk) 04:38, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We had it for Game of Thrones, same should be done here. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 05:23, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Drafts exist at Draft:House of the Dragon season 1 and Draft:House of the Dragon season 2. -- Alex_21_TALK 07:31, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's an excellent idea. MaskedSinger (talk) 07:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only when there's enough information that can be included to warrant a split, use the drafts for now. Indagate (talk) 07:41, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Book vs Show

Should we include a section detailing differences between the book and show? HiGuys69420 (talk) 05:11, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have reliable sources that discuss the differences? -- Alex_21_TALK 06:28, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On this point the first claim in the current section is incorrect. The Velaryons are never described as having pale skin in the novels.

In fact the people of Valyria are never described as having pale skin at all. There is a single reference to the some people of Lys having Pale Skin like the Dragon-riders of old in a companion book The World of Ice and Fire, but since the text states the Velaryons were not dragon riders then it doesn't seem to matter.

Laenor Velaryon is described directly "Ser Laenor had the aquiline nose, silver-white hair, and purple eyes that bespoke his Valyrian blood". Describing hair and eyes but no description of his skin.

People may argue certain people are white or black but if it isn't actually on the page it shouldn't be on the Wikipedia article. 2A02:C7E:5AC5:4300:C70:700A:E:817E (talk) 16:40, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

“to end after the fourth season”

I think you mean to write something else. GoT also ended after its fourth season. 86.31.178.164 (talk) 18:23, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, this is correct. House of the Dragon will end after its fourth season airs. Game of Thrones ended after its eighth season aired. -- Alex_21_TALK 21:16, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
