NCIS franchise

Base on your recent edits, you might be interested in the discussions at Talk:NCIS (franchise)#JAG and WT:TV#What constitutes a franchise?. Your input would be appreciated. --AussieLegend (✉) 03:14, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Yikes! Davejohnsan (talk) 14:53, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

It's not as bad as it looks. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:11, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

I'll give it a look tonight. (Edit to add: Whoops, I forgot about our time difference. It's noon in my time zone right now; I'll be back home in about six or seven hours.) Davejohnsan (talk) 20:07, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

@AussieLegend: Here's the way I see it: Wikipedia defines a franchise as having "several derivative works hav[ing] been produced from an original work of media." NCIS: LA and NCIS: New Orleans both originate from the original NCIS. JAG did not originate from NCIS, but it is definitely related to NCIS and does deserve some recognition for creating the franchise, but to say that it is necessarily "part" of the franchise in the same way that the NCIS spinoffs are...is kind of a stretch to me. Does this conform to any definitive stances on this issue? Davejohnsan (talk) 02:59, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

That's pretty much in line with what my argument has been, and what media franchise says, but one editor is taking "related" to mean "is part of the franchise". --AussieLegend (✉) 03:04, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

I think the way the page is in its current state (as of 13:54 UTC, 20 January 2016) is fine. It labels JAG as the originating series, but not as part of the NCIS franchise, which was created several years after its final broadcast. I'll continue watching the conversation.

Hi translators, this is Jethro. The page here describes the outcomes of a recent consultation on Wikimania and movement conferences, for which the WMF will be publicizing on 8 Feburary. There are many very important changes coming for Wikimania beginning in 2018, and it's important that contributors from as many language backgrounds as possible are aware of them. In my judgment, it will be most important to translate the sections labeled "Summary," and "Next steps" be prioritized, but any translation you can provide for the more specific details on the page will be appreciated. Please contact me if you have any questions about the translation material. With thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 21:24, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

About the Law & Order page...

I just think if TV shows like Law & Order have episodes that cross over to other TV shows, it should be noted on their pages. --StewieBaby05 (talk) 23:51, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

I know that's what you think. What I don't know why is you think it's relevant to go into great detail about episodes from other series on the main page. The episode section is a general, brief overview of the entire season. It's not the place to put great emphasis on other shows. Davejohnsan (talk) 00:04, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

"per MOS"

Please stop removing content and just saying "per MOS". That really is not helpful. You should give a link to the applicable MOS, and preferably the section where it supposedly says it. Now, MOS:TVCAST says to not give episode counts. It does not say not to give which episode(s) an actor appears in. If an actor only appears in a few episodes (1-3), it is helpful (and permissible) to give which ones they are. —Musdan77 (talk) 17:51, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Family Guy "Excellence in Broadcasting" Edits

Hi Davejohnsan,

I hope you're well :-). I'm Dana, I'm an irrelevant young adult from Canada and I like to watch Netflix. Some context, to not seem out of the blue. I'm contacting you with regards to the Family Guy episode changes you and I both made, and I mean no harm, only curiosity. I was searching for the Family Guy episode that featured a joke about The Office, because I really enjoy both shows. I found the page for "Excellence in Broadcasting," and followed the instructions to go to S9E2. I browsed through Netflix and didn't find it there, but instead as E3. I decided to take advantage of how accessible editing is through Wikipedia and made the changes. I checked again today, curious to see what happened, if my change had been approved, and I saw that you changed it back. Hi! I'm here now, and I was wondering how the episode listing could be different between us. I'm not sure how to attach a photo but if you wish to contact me I can send you it by other means.

Again, I mean no harm and I hope to clear this up and add this to my list of "small accomplishments" to read over in existential crises. I don't know how to use this messaging feature completely but if you feel so inclined to respond to me, email me back at cerv5620@mylaurier.ca.

Take care! 99.237.60.73 (talk) 20:04, 9 May 2016 (UTC) Dana

Hi, Dana. Netflix lists the double-length episodes of Family Guy in two separate parts, which throws off the numbering scheme of the entire season. The first episode of season 9 is a double-length episode that Netflix treats as two separate episodes, even though both parts air as one on the Fox network. This issue has also caused issues with seasons 6 and 13, which both have at least one double-length episode that counts as one but for some reason appears on Netflix as two. Adding further confusion are the 100- and 200-episode specials, which are included on the official DVDs but aren't counted as official episodes. The goal here isn't to address whether Netflix is right on this issue, but to maintain consistency and consensus across the website here. If the consensus is to change season 9's episode count so that the two-part premiere is counted as two separate episodes, then the rest of the pages focusing on individual episodes will be updated to reflect that change.

June 2016 Guild of Copy Editors Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors June 2016 News Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild!

Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Coordinator elections: It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around! Nominations for the next tranche of Guild coordinators, who will serve a six-month term that begins at 00:01 UTC on 1 July and ends at 23:59 UTC on 31 December, opens at 00:01 UTC on 1 June and closes at 23:59 UTC on 15 June.

Sheriff Callie not renewed for third season

Hey Davejohnsan,

I just thought Sheriff Callie's Wild West was not renewed for a third season.

Read here: Sheriff Callie's Wild West Says Goodbye

BarryBenson (talk) 10:09, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

First off, that website is not an official affiliate of the Disney Channel network, and second the wording of that tweet is, at best, ambiguous. It doesn't answer the question of whether the production of the second season has ended or the series itself. I was also unable to find any official sources confirming the series was canceled. It is not uncommon for television series to go on hiatus for a year or two. You will need to find a different, and more reliable, source to confirm cancellation. Thanks for reaching out to me, by the way. Davejohnsan (talk) 14:38, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful! >>> Sign up for the December Blitz! <<< Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: Nominations are open for election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating! September Drive: The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove July through October 2015 from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words). October Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was Requests, since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. November Drive: The November drive was a record-breaker! We set out to remove September through December 2015 from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles, even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from over 800 articles. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page.

I removed it because the technical specs are misleading since there are multiple widths and heights. I have zero responsibility to fix bad information however I will remove it.Cleanupmdx (talk) 07:26, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Again, you are missing the point here. Removing the metric measurements is not the solution here. While it may not be your responsibility to "fix bad information," using that as an excuse to delete content is just lazy. Davejohnsan (talk) 15:39, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

I am not being disruptive.

I am only pointing out that the sixth season of Sanford and Son has two episodes that did not originally air on Friday at 8:00 pm. If you have a problem with that, you obviously have a problem with me. --TVBuff90 (talk) 22:11, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

No, I don't have a problem with you. I have a problem with your lack of communication, however. I reverted your edit with a valid reason, and instead of coming to my talk page or going to the article's talk page, you decided to engage in a edit war (for which I share equal blame). I make an effort to revert others' edit for objective reasons, not subjective. Wikipedia is a not a TV guide and it is not essential information to list what specific date and time any particular series airs. Davejohnsan (talk) 22:14, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

@TVBuff90: Okay, I can see you did write on the article's talk page. I didn't see it - my fault. However, once again, you are just arguing against policy without giving any compelling argument or citing a policy or guideline that would prove or compel me (or probably anyone else)π in a different direction. "I realize it's not a TV Guide, but I still think [the information should be noted]." You don't have to like the policy, but not liking it isn't necessarily grounds to ignore it.
