Commercial links

Links to commercial sites, especially if they provide no information about the subject, are not appropriate for Wikipedia. This is an encyclopedia, not a fan site, and especially not a site to promote stuff for sale. Tverbeek 6 July 2005 12:46 (UTC)

It's also considered rude to delete messages from your Talk page, especially without responding to them. Deleting only critical comments is particuarly inappropriate. Tverbeek 6 July 2005 17:08 (UTC)

I didn't think there was a need to respond. I won't do it again - I was more concerned with the actual fact -that people make these fake buttons - than with that specific site, and using the site as an example. I thought I had the commercial site rule covered by having it as a source/reference/proof/example, whatever you want to call it. But if it's not ok, than it's that fine. I'll delete them from the other pages they're still on too, also because the links were not only commercial, but dead. I

I delete the comments, those that address a certain issue, once I have "dealt" with them. I leave the neutral ones because I usually don't have to "deal" with them in any way. If I had the time to figure out how to do it, I would probably have it all in an archive, like other people do, but I just don't right now. And of course, it's all still in the history, so anyone can check anything there. --newsjunkie 6 July 2005 19:30 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Donnie Wahlberg, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bunker Hill.

The West Wing

I applaud your efforts with adding content to West Wing-related articles, but could you please be more aware of how you add the content, and to do it to adhere to Wikipedia MOS formatting. I see you've been here for almost 20 years, you should be aware of formatting a citation using Template:Cite web. I've cleaned-up your entries over 20 times now and it's getting fairly tiresome. I've noted in my edit summaries of your issues, but you've yet to rectify any of these ongoing problems. You continually put commas after the ref tags (such as here which I fixed). You also put spaces before closing ref tags as I noticed in recent edits to The West Wing season 1, which is incorrect. With your recent edits to the season articles, you use the same reference almost a dozen times; you need to use ref names to avoid duplicate citations. Also, realistically, all that award information should just be in the Accolades subsection, because the ShortSummary parameter is just meant for a plot synopsis. If you feel you can merge that content into the Accolades subsection, that'd be great. I'll happily collaborate with you, I'm just looking for some cooperation in terms of your formatting issues. Thank you so much. Drovethrughosts (talk) 12:40, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the awards information should also be tied to the episode information if it was episode-specific, because a lot of people are just going to be looking at the specific episode information and by putting it by the episode, it shows to viewers immediately which episodes/performances received particular recognition all tied together in multiple categories, rather than an isolated way, especially since there aren't episode pages for most episodes or if they are interested in watching particular episodes that got recognition. And I only did the Emmys for now in this case, but there are individual episodes that got other awards as well, and I think that information is most helpful when tied to a specific episode so people reading about a particular episode can immediately see that it also won/was submitted as part of a nomination and don't have to scroll back up and down and can also see performance win/nominations in the context of plot summary. newsjunkie (talk) 16:20, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've probably added most of the information I felt was missing for now and other than incorporating this week's White House event if nobody else does it I probably won't have too much to add for a while unless there a lot more developments/appearances. newsjunkie (talk) 16:37, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand where you're coming from, even though I disagree; the ShortSummary parameter is for a plot synopsis, not production or other information. It's why there's a section for accolades, etc. It's actually more efficient to have all the information in one section, as opposed to the lengthy episode table where you'd have to constantly scroll up and down and you could possibly miss one of the "notes" because they're tacked onto the episode summary. However, I'm not going to dispute this further, as we're talking about a 25-year old TV show. But, I noticed you completely glossed over my main concerns about your editing habits (bare URL refs, incorrect formatting, etc.), which is troubling. Another editor below has also commented on it. I hope going forward you can recognize the mistakes and fix them; all you have to do is look any of the edits I made and see what I've corrected. Thanks again. Drovethrughosts (talk) 12:52, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the concern about the commas and I will try to copy that more, but the guidelines on bare URLs do also say "Adding a bare URL reference to Wikipedia is much more helpful than no reference. If you only have the time and inclination to copy the reference URL you found, that is a helpful first step, and we thank you for your contribution!". And while I think it's fine to summarize accolades at the bottom, I think it's also really additionally informative to display the information by episode if there is a specific episode reference because it helps people see which were the significant episodes in a way that would not necessarily become as clear if only enumerated separately at the bottom. (And I think it's more likely people would just look at the episodes part if they are watching/looking up a specific one and not bother to look at the accolades section at all.) newsjunkie (talk) 16:18, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bare URL references / citing methodology

Greetings, I notice that when editing and adding references you add what is known as a Bare URL. Simply putting a URL in between <ref> and </ref> tags is not the appropriate or complete method for citing published or web news sources. It results in other editors having to come in behind your additions and complete the remainder of the tags and clean up the references you have added. This is somewhat disruptive and unless other active and proficient editors are watching all those articles and the edits you make - some of those references may not end up having been completed afterwards.

To help avoid both situations, there are features in the editor to aid you in properly completing the cite fields - you can see a drop-down menu above the editor, labelled "Cite". Please make sure you thoroughly review the Bare URL link above, WP:CITE and Help:Citation_Style_1#Online_sources and use the available aids and tools to help you properly fill in and complete the necessary citation fields. This also helps preventing the need for other editors to come in behind you and clean up the references, while also improving your proficiency as a regular WP editor.

If you have any questions or need further assistance to begin providing complete citations - please feel free to reach out to me. Thanks --Picard's Facepalm • ^{Made It So} _Engage! • 13:58, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

West Wing external links

Hey! Hate to pile on – glad that you're showing an interest in The West Wing, I love that show – but i should point out that the scribd external links probably run afoul of WP:COPYLINK, as I doubt those are authorized-for-publishing versions of the script. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 04:07, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like scripts are in more of a grey area than actual episode footage, since scripts are often sold on ebay for example and so people get them legitimately second-hand and don't seem to be under restrictions on what they can do with them. And I've never heard of any legal action against original movie or TV scripts posted online for already released content (versus legal action against actual TV/movie footage/filesharing etc) newsjunkie (talk) 05:07, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also I think there is some precedent in allowing them to be available for educational purposes. newsjunkie (talk) 05:17, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

September 2024

Hello, I'm Picard's Facepalm. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Blue Bloods (TV series), but you didn't provide a reliable source. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I have previously advised above as to properly filling out the references. Simply adding a bare URL is not the correct method. Please refer to the previous notice to avoid future notifications and warnings. --Picard's Facepalm • ^{Made It So} _Engage! • 15:29, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All the sources I added were reliable and no source was removed as far as far as I can tell. As the page on "bare URL" itself states. "Adding a bare URL reference to Wikipedia is much more helpful than no reference. If you only have the time and inclination to copy the reference URL you found, that is a helpful first step, and we thank you for your contribution!" newsjunkie (talk) 16:19, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the previous notification, as indeed there was nothing removed. My apologies for that oversight on my part when I first posted the notification.

While you did quote part of the guideline from the Bare URL link above - you missed the 2nd half of the guideline, and the totality of the scope of the guideline as a result:

"[...] please note that a bare URL reference is also much less helpful than a fully formatted citation. Please help readers and editors by using full citations instead."

It is clear that you certainly have ample time as evidenced by your visiting the reference source in the first place, compounded by the sheer number of edits you are conducting. Please ensure you are following the totality of the guideline, while also seizing the opportunity to notably improve your proficiency as a contributor by completing full citations to the articles you add them to. With the Cite editing tool at the top of the editor window - it takes approximately 15-20 seconds to do, using the information already provided on the source page you are referencing from. It can easily be done utilizing the same copy-paste method you use now for adding the bare URLs. Thanks. --Picard's Facepalm • ^{Made It So} _Engage! • 14:44, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, you are continuing to add bare URLs as references. Please refer to the discussion above as well as the full context of WP:BAREURL to ensure the proper addition of references. Thanks. --Picard's Facepalm • ^{Made It So} _Engage! • 01:51, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Newsroom

It seems to me your edit summary here, suggesting Sadoski's comment "speaks to widespread critical/mocking reception of series not yet mentioned anywhere else" is your perspective of the meaningfulness of his off-hand remark. How is that not WP:OR? Whether the actor is surprised of the existence of a meme is trivia. If there was a RS that covered the presence and impact of the meme or relfected on the "widespread critical/mocking reception" you suggest, then that's a different story... --ZimZalaBim ^talk 19:19, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To me the article is itself a "reliable source" covering the "presence and impact of the meme". Why would they ask him about it otherwise (especially 10 years later!)? newsjunkie (talk) 19:22, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Instagram! However, adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum^[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles. Nobody (talk) 15:09, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
