Mythbusters... Really again!!
What do I have to do prove to you that 2014 mythbusters is over!! I have received a direct response from Adam Savage, and there are dozens of articles to confirm my claim. Therefore stop blindly reverting my edits while using "wiki policy/ traditions" to support your claims. -StevieB5175 — Preceding unsigned comment added by StevieB5175 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- First off, I don't blindly revert. I explained the rationale for reversion in my edit summary. If you've had contact with Adam Savage that constitutes original research, which is not permitted in articles. As I explained to you only a month ago, and you said that you understood, Misplaced Pages is not working to a deadline so there is no need to worry about when to update the article. There's no reason why this has to be done before the end of the calendar year. You don't need to get it done before Santa comes. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:21, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- And by what policy states that the "new year" is in itself a deadline. Facts will not change between now and the new year. Instead of erasing my "amateur" work you could critique it or talk to me on my talk page. I'd say half a dozen of articles are enough to uphold your "silly policies". Only problem is that you do not give me adequate time to cite my sources.StevieB5175 (talk) 17:31, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- As I explained previously, everything added to Misplaced Pages must be verifiable. Misplaced Pages:Verifiability is a core policy. A source explicitly stating that there will be no more episodes in 2014 is required in order to justify adding an end date to the 2014 season article before 2014 has ended. I suggest you re-read the previous discussion, which is now archived here, because the questions you are asking were answered then. --AussieLegend (✉) 22:25, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- Why can't YOU help me out then by helping ME verify what I'm saying; or better yet how bout you with much experience, help me with little experience. Right now if I revert the edit and add half a dozen citations, I'm still convinced that you will revert my edit just like all other users who tryed to make changes in the past month, all in order to fulfill your bureaucratic nonsense. By all that I can tell, Misplaced Pages is supposed to be a collaborative process in which editors can freely improve pages with supported statements. While it is understand we that certain guidelines need to be taken to streamline Misplaced Pages's quality, little things like what you are bothering about are completely trivial. Is Misplaced Pages a collaborative effort, or a place where everything has to be okayed by one person (like yourself) to see the light of day? If it indeed is the latter, I can guarantee you that you are loosing scores of potential new coming editors who are turned off by your one sided approach. Also, if I'm doing something wrong, why can't you be helpful and guide me through the correct approach? (And help does not mean confusing the editor with foreign jargon just to sound professional) Unless you are you paid by Misplaced Pages, you are on the same level as other editors; therefore you of all editors should be welcoming to newbies! WP:DNB. StevieB5175 (talk) 23:11, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- Why are you so intent on changing the date before 1 January 2015, when it won't be necessary to provide a citation? Because the reliable sources talk about seasons, when the articles here use the calendar year, there's not going to be a source that supports you. It's a change that just isn't worth the effort. --AussieLegend (✉) 23:15, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- To be honest, I'm beyond that now. If you want to do all the work so be it. I'm convinced though that no matter what anyone does to the page, you are going to revert it back to show your dominance. Is that what Misplaced Pages is about? And what about my other questions? (I want to hear from you, not a link to a Wiki policy because I'm tired of that...)StevieB5175 (talk) 23:22, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- I've answered your questions, I answered them a month ago and you said you understood, but clearly you didn't, which is why I pointed you to policy, which explains the requirements at length. Clearly, you are not "beyond that" because you're spending a lot of time on something that isn't worth the effort. --AussieLegend (✉) 23:33, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- I asked for a direct reply and you didn't give it to me... In YOUR own opinion and words: is Misplaced Pages a collaborative effort, or a place where everything has to be okayed by one person (like yourself) to see the light of day? StevieB5175 (talk) 23:52, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- I've given you several direct replies and, while you are entitled to demand responses, I am not obligated to respond to demands. --AussieLegend (✉) 23:55, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- I'm trying to remain as polite as possible! Curiosity from someone new to Misplaced Pages is a "demand" you should be able to respond to! StevieB5175 (talk) 23:59, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hi StevieB, If this discussion is about this edit of yours, though you obviously meant well, I probably would have reverted it too, because we don't add new seasons to the overview box until an episode table is created for that season. (WP:TVOVERVIEW) And as Aussie pointed out earlier, we're in no hurry to add information into the encyclopedia, so if we have to wait for reliable sources to arrive, so be it. I made honest mistakes when I was a n00b, but I listened and adjusted without letting the criticism crawl under my skin. There are a lot of guidelines, but in time you'll figure them out. Good editing, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:13, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

First of all, if anyone is "distorting" the tables, it's you. The name column has always been shorter than the season column. And now you're coming in and saying it can't be like that for The Real Housewives of Cheshire table. The name column is unnecessarily long and looks like crap. You also changed the style of The Real Housewives of Melbourne table and it looks nothing like the other The Real Housewives tables and now you're saying no one can change it back to what it used to be. "How dare they distort the table and make it look like all the other tables" is basically your attitude. I thought the editing process of Misplaced Pages was a group effort. Not a dictatorship. I'm actually trying to make the tables look a little better and took your advice about widths adding up to the correct number. But my edits have been in vain. In fact I was afraid of taking out false information/gossip on The Real Housewives of Orange County page because I was afraid that you would come along and say I "distorted" something and threaten me with some sort of administrative action. I'm afraid to make any edits. And the edit on your User page was a honest mistake on my part. Sometimes I click on the wrong link. I did it with Orangemike before I realized I was writing on his User page and quickly abandoned my edit and wrote it on his Talk page. Why would I write on your User page on purpose? (Powerpokmon (talk) 13:48, 23 December 2014 (UTC))
You've forced the "Current main housewives", "Former main housewives" and "Friends of the housewives" to be left aligned instead of center and the season column widths are ridiculously wide because of a syntax error that you made in the first line of the table. Fix ing the silly syntax error you get:
Now the table is narrower but the three mentioned headings now wrap, as do some of the names. That's because of the incorrect column widths that you specified. That also causes the season columns to shrink to less than 10% of the width that they're supposed to be. Remove the text in the first column and it shrinks to the size that you've specified:
Clearly, 3% is far too narrow and, because of the bad maths, when the text is removed the season columns are able to expand out to the 10% that is specified. Your edits are causing numerous errors so, while you think that you are aking them look better, you most certainly are not. The "editing process of Misplaced Pages" is a group effort but the group shouldn't have to put up with errors that are constantly being introduced. And please, do not create sockpuppets. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:32, 23 December 2014 (UTC) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Happy Holidays!
A bit of a form letter from me to you (don't go poking around in my edit history or it'll get even more obvious how much of a form letter it is!) to wish you happy holidays, a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, a Happy December, Happy Snow, Happy Sunshine, and an otherwise generally happy end to 2014. Thanks for all the constructive editing, support and civil discourse. Here's to another year of assuming good faith of one another.

Re: Vikings seasons
Hi. I apologise for the removal of several material from the Vikings season articles, but I just wanted to do something about all that duplicated material. Regarding the edit errors, I just looked at a random season page (e.g. Homeland (season 4) ) as example, without taking care of the errors. Anyway, these article do need a huge revision. Maybe you can add a warning or sth. Thanks. --79.41.104.64 (talk) 20:09, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
- I actually agree with you about the duplication, although not necessarily with the implementation. Season 1 is pretty much as it should be, but season 2 needs some significant work. Season 3 was recently created and, unfortunately, the creator used season 2 as a template. --AussieLegend (✉) 20:12, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
Infobox Australian place
After your recent changes to {{Infobox Australian place}}, about 1,100 articles have been added to the maintenance category Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags, apparently because in those articles the infobox has both "latd", etc., fields filled in and a "coordinates" field containing {{coord}}. At the moment, I've a rather bad case of influenza, so I'm not of a mind to try to clear the category by hand. Is there some way for you to get a bot to strip out the redundant {{coord}} template in these articles, or perhaps change the template code to ignore the "coordinates" field if "latd", etc., are being used?
