Edit war

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

  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.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Alex_21 TALK 22:45, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Stop icon This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 10:01, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Do not, under any circumstances, remove a reliable source from a Featured ARticle again, for a twitter post. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 10:02, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
@Darkwarriorblake It's the official Twitter of someone who worked for Lucasfilm. We can't keep this source if it's reliability is contested. Also, it's literally the only source that says Elaine Baker appeared in the film. All others say Marjorie Eaton. Spectritus (talk) 10:05, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
It's a twitter post by a guy not involved in any way with the film, who asked someone else, and any other source that says Marjorie Eaton cites that twitter post which doesn't even seem to exist anymore. The other is a 300+ well researched book that dealt directly with those involved. It's not contested, if you have a problem with it start a larger discussion at a relevant forum. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 10:09, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
@Darkwarriorblake Can't we just settle this by citing both actress separated with either "and" or "or"? Spectritus (talk) 10:11, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
No, because one is always traced back to a Twitter post and the other is a respected piece of work. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 10:13, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
@Darkwarriorblake May I suggest that we say that Palpatine was physically portrayed by both actresses until the debate is settled. Spectritus (talk) 10:03, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
No, there is no debate, one is a twitter post by a guy who asked around, the other is a well respected and thorougly researched book by a renowned author who wrote detailed books, including original notes, scripts, and photographs, for multiple films. Do not do it again Darkwarriorblake (talk) 10:05, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
@Darkwarriorblake It's literally the only source that says Elaine Baker appeared in the film. All others say Marjorie Eaton. And why would someone who worked for Lucasfilm lie about this? Spectritus (talk) 10:07, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Spectritus. Thank you for your work on Doctor Who Access All Areas. Another editor, North8000, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Needs independent sources that cover THE TOPIC OF THE ARTICLE. (not about Dr. Who) It has none. The "episodes" section is about Dr. Who episodes

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|North8000}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

North8000 (talk) 20:17, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

@North8000 Okay. The episodes section is about Doctor Who Access All Areas episodes. It's a behind the scenes show, so there's one episode for each episode of Doctor Who series 11. Spectritus (talk) 22:25, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
I wrote this guessing that that might be the case. What matters for wp:notability is in-depth coverage by independent sources of the topic of the article. And being, as I understand it, it's about a set of YouTube videos, reviewers will be looking for this. I don't want to go too much off on a tangent getting too centric on the table, but the point there (if I read it correctly) it just lists info on the Dr. Who episodes that it was attached to. I didn't do any NPP disposition, and planned to just leave it for another NPP'er to review it at a later date. If you add at least some independent sourcing (and hopefully some article content derived from them) I'd probably be less strict than the average NPP'er and would be happy to look at it again if you prefer and ping me. Either way, happy editing! Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 23:49, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
@North8000 Okay. Thanks. I'll see what I can do. Spectritus (talk) 09:33, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Restoring content removed per BLP policy

Never restore content removed citing BLP concerns without discussing on the talk page and gaining consensus. Edit warring to restore disputed content contrary to WP:BLP and WP:BLPSOURCES is a quick route to a block; you've been blocked for this previously and have apparently learned nothing from it.-- Ponyobons mots 19:58, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

@Ponyo As I've already told you, that website was accepted in other articles. There's therefore no reason not to accept it in Mary Peach. Spectritus (talk) 21:55, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
@Ponyo May I ask how long is the block? Spectritus (talk) 21:56, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
(edit conflict) First, you're not blocked. I noted that you had previously been blocked for WP:BLP violations and edit warring, and that you were demonstrated the same behaviour. Second, the fact that a poor source was used at some point in the past in no way means it's acceptable to use it in perpetuity. The correct response would be to go back and replace the poor source with ones meeting WP:RS, not to continue using the poor source.-- Ponyobons mots 22:03, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
@Ponyo Okay, thanks. Once again, I apologise. Spectritus (talk) 22:05, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
@Ponyo I've just read what you wrote on the noticeboard, and I apologise. I acted foolishly. I promise I will not make the same mistake again. Spectritus (talk) 22:00, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Northernhenge (talk) 22:13, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Spectritus. The new category Category:Hercule Poirot (film series) appears to duplicate Category:Films based on Hercule Poirot books so isn't needed, unless they are more different than they look, in which case please discuss on the comments link above. Thanks! --Northernhenge (talk) 22:22, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
@Northernhenge There's a difference. Category:Films based on Hercule Poirot books lists all the Hercule Poirot films, while Category:Hercule Poirot (film series) lists only films and soundtracks from the film series directed by Kenneth Branagh. Spectritus (talk) 22:28, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
OK. Please add that to the discussion. Maybe the name of the category needs changing, and you could suggest that there too. --Northernhenge (talk) 22:36, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
@Northernhenge Okay. Done. Spectritus (talk) 22:42, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. Ponyobons mots 19:20, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

@Ponyo Thank you. Again, I apologise for my behavior. I may have overreacted a bit because of the frustration. Spectritus (talk) 20:02, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
The information will eventually be published in a reliable source that have a reputation for reliability and fact checking and the article can be updated at that time. It's more important to get it right than get it first.-- Ponyobons mots 20:10, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
@Ponyo Okay, thanks. I understand. Sorry for the problems I caused. Spectritus (talk) 21:39, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Unnecessary date format changes

Please stop changing the date format for Canadians, it's not only Americans that use the MDY format, as you've been stating in your edit summaries. The standard is to use the existing MDY or DMY on an article is strongly associated with a country that is strongly associated with said format. See formats listed at List of date formats by country. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:03, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh Okay, sorry. I didn't know Canada used that format. Spectritus (talk) 11:04, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
No worries, I understand the intentions were nothing but good. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:45, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

United States

Please refrain from inserting POV-driven, polemical asides in Wikipedia. Over the past 20 years, RfCs have been initiated in both English Wikipedia and French Wikipedia to cancel the demonym American and substitute an alternative in English and French. Each time, the effort was rejected by a landslide. There is no "dispute" worthy of the mention, except among a small minority of ideological editors. This is because the term American remains standard usage in media and publications across the English-speaking world. Mason.Jones (talk) 17:09, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

@Mason.Jones I understand. I would just like to clarify that there are a lot of people around the world inside and outside of Wikimedia who believe the use of the term "American" to designate inhabitants of the US is improper. Especially South Americans and Italians. I think this deserves at least a note like the one I made. Spectritus (talk) 18:37, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
@Spectritus -- The term American is treated differently in the Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking worlds, but this article is "United States" in English Wikipedia. Historical disputes and resentments in other language groups don't merit special mention in the infobox of the article "United States" in English. In the U.S. and throughout the entire English-speaking world, the term is standard usage and undisputed. Mason.Jones (talk) 19:54, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
@Mason.Jones Okay. I understand and I'm sorry. Spectritus (talk) 22:03, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

WIkiProject Doctor Who: March 2025 Newsletter

The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume III, Issue I — March 2025
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

One hell of a newsletter.
Geronimoooo!
Apparently this newsletter the queen of outer space... wait... no, sorry; that's Belinda! Swashbuckle your seatbelts because this newsletter is full of information regarding recent happenings in the Doctor Who WikiProject. You'll also find updates on the upcoming series and elsewhere the expanded Whoniverse.

Series 15

The fifteenth series of Doctor Who is set to begin this Saturday with "The Robot Revolution" on 12 April and will conclude seven weeks later after "The Reality War" airs on 31 May. It will once again be accompanied by a new series of Doctor Who: Unleashed. Draft articles for all eight episodes have already been created, the links to which can be found here. New novelisations adapting the first three episodes of the series are set to be released on 10 July.

Recent Article Regenerations

Since the last Newsletter, we've had a whole heap of quality content added to the Project. The articles Thasmin, "Joy to the World", Vislor Turlough, "Space Babies", "Legend of the Sea Devils", Weeping Angel, Doctor Who series 13, Pyramids of Mars, "The Legend of Ruby Sunday", "The Power of the Doctor", The Twin Dilemma, "The Husbands of River Song", "Demons of the Punjab", Doctor Who Live, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", and Attack of the Cybermen have all been improved to GA-level quality. List of Torchwood episodes and List of Doctor Who episodes (2005-present) have been improved to FL-level quality, while the Doctor Who specials (2022) and Doctor Who series 14 Good Topics have been successfully promoted.
An additional good topic covering the series articles from 2005–present has been nominated and is currently receiving feedback. Though content creation has slowed in recent months, content improvement should hopefully see an increase as series 15 ticks ever closer.

Future Project Goals

The WikiProject will once again be working in collaboration to complete a Good Topic encompassing the series and its related articles. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated. Several editors have planned upcoming work for Doctor Who-related character, episode, and performer articles. More information, as well as where you can find out how to help, can be found it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Goals.

We Want You... To Help With The Newsletter

Due to the departure of previous newsletter contributors, the Newsletter is beaming out a message from Stonehenge requesting your help. If anyone would like to help actively contribute to the Newsletter's content updates, please let us know, as we are willing to accept anyone who is interested in helping with writing the Newsletter. We'll all stories in the end... make sure the newsletter is a chapter in yours.

Greetings et al

Hi,

I see that you've contributed to a lot of pages relating to Doctor Who. I too am a fan and have amended/improved pages related to the franchise as well as created pages for people associated with it.

Earlier today, you placed a citation needed tag on Pik-Sen Lim's page regarding her marriage dates to Don Houghton. Beforehand, I updated his page including references mentioning about how he moved to Naples, Florida in the late 1980s and remarried just a few months before his untimely death. Just wanted to clarify.

You appear to be obsessed with the List of centenarians (actors, filmmakers and entertainers) page, providing frequent updates.

Happy editing for the future. Might we be getting any new pages for DW people from yourself in the near future?Silurian25 (talk) 19:35, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

@Silurian25 Hello. I didn't see anything about the divorce in the article body. As for your question, I have made drafts for Christopher Baker and Alexander Devrient but neither have been accepted yet. I would be grateful if you could help. Spectritus (talk) 20:05, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Francis Rigaud moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Francis Rigaud. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Onel5969 TT me 16:20, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

Okay, fair enough. Spectritus (talk) 12:12, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Hoppers

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Hoppers (film) a different title by cutting its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Hoppers (film). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Naraht (talk) 16:53, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

@Naraht Sorry. It won't happen again. Spectritus (talk) 17:32, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
Fair enough, It took me a while to learn how much Wikipedia care about keeping page histories straight. You may want to look at the WP:AFC and WP:AFCH which has a lot of tools for handling this well from submitted drafts.Naraht (talk) 20:13, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

WIkiProject Doctor Who: June 2025 Newsletter

The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume III, Issue II — June 2025
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

People assume that a newsletters are a strict progression of stuff happening to author's writing,
but, actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of spacey-timey teley-graphy... stuff
This is my Space-Time Telegraph Detector: 🕹️
It goes *ding* when there's a new newsletter out
Welcome to the second 2025 issue of the Space-Time Telegraph. Apologies that we're a little late, sometimes this newsletter takes us when we need to go instead of when we want to go. In this edition you'll find everything that you need to keep you updated on things going on around the project as well as within the Whoniverse.

Am I a good (or featured) man Wikipedia article?

Since last Newsletter, many new GAs have been added to the Project. These include every individual episode in Doctor Who series 15 and a number of fictional characters, including Belinda Chandra, the companion of Series 15. A full list of Good promoted content can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who#Articles with Good Article status. So far, we've promoted 33 GAs this year, and we're on track to beat our previous record of GAs promoted in a year (36 in 2012).
In terms of Good Topics, Wikipedia:Featured topics/List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present) and Wikipedia:Good topics/Doctor Who series 14 were both promoted in May.
Additionally, with the promotion of Yeti (Doctor Who) to FA status just this past month, the project has gotten its first FA status article in nearly a decade, with the last FA promotion being From The Doctor to my son Thomas in November 2015.
Congratulations to all involved with these articles, and keep up the good work!

Space-Time Telegraph Materialization Schedule

With uncertainty surrounding when production of the parent show will resume, newsletter editors have decided to shift the publication schedule from quarterly to triannually for the time being. This means that the next issue will be published in December, and then every April, August, and December thereafter. When the future of the series is more certain, the schedule may update once more at that time.

Their songs have ended... but their stories, never end 🌹

Since the previous issue was published, some people related to Doctor Who have sadly passed away:
Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network
  • The War Between the Land and the Sea, an upcoming Doctor Who spin-off released its first trailer at the conclusion of series 15. The 5-part mini-series is expected to be broadcast later this year. The BBC has also commissioned an animated Doctor Who spin-off series targeted towards younger audiences. The 52-part programme is set to air in two parts of 26-episodes each between 2027 and 2029.
  • In home media, the fifteenth series will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and Steelbook in August. The Peter Cushing spin-off films, Dr Who And The Daleks and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., were recently colourised and re-released in June/July in 4K, along with new special features. Season 13 will be the next season to receive release in "The Collection" format, featuring remastered episodes and new special features.
  • In print, three new Doctor Who novels, written by Emily Cook, Hannah Fergesen, Kalynn Byron came out in May. Another, authored by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson is due out in November. Dan Watters and Sami Kivelä are also collaborating on a new series featuring for Titan Coomics. Finally, Pete McTighe and Carole Ann Ford are authoring new shorts to expand on previously unseen stories to be released in August and November in larger collections.
  • Big Finish Productions have released several new Who-related audio dramas, and announced many more set to enter production soon. An audio vinyl release of The Moonbase, of which two episodes are missing, is expected to be out in September.
  • New action figure sets taking on the appearance of Fourteenth Doctor and the Meep became available in June. Mattel also collaborated with the BBC to create Barbie dolls taking on the appearance of the Fifteenth Doctor and Belinda, first making their appearance in May at MCM Comic Con. Doctor Who will also once again have a presence at the 2025 San Diego Comic Con, featuring photo-ops and other new exclusive products.

Edits on Rani of Jhansi

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Rani of Jhansi, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. Thank you. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:36, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

@AirshipJungleman29 1827 is mentioned as one of her possible birth years on her talk page. Spectritus (talk) 09:38, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
@AirshipJungleman29 Same for 1828. Spectritus (talk) 09:40, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
@AirshipJungleman29 Also, why not include her birth and death years in the short description? It's a very common thing on Wikipedia. Spectritus (talk) 09:42, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
See WP:SDDATES: they "are encouraged when they enhance the short description as an annotation or improve disambiguation". "(1827/1828/1835–1858)" is less enhancement and more actively confusing, not least because it doesn't match the article; there is also no disambiguation needed. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:46, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
@AirshipJungleman29 Alright. Fair point. Spectritus (talk) 09:51, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

It does. He's currently on loan to a fourth tier Japanese which is most-likely semi-pro. Also, Carmona plays for semi-pro not amateur teams. Spectritus (talk) 21:14, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
What is said in wikipedia about Atletico Suzuka Club: "is a Japanese professional football club based in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture. They play in the Japan Football League, the fourth tier of the Japanese football league system." Then, do you think Hacele Un Gol a la Vida is a semi-pro team? Juanan412 (talk) 21:55, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
@Juanan412 According to the interview Carmona gave OneFootball he only played for pro and semi-pro clubs in his career. Spectritus (talk) 22:00, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
I think it is necessary a proper reference for those teams. They dont even have a webpage! They are amateur clubs Juanan412 (talk) 22:07, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
@Juanan412 They could be semi-pro. You don't have proof they're amateur, do you? Spectritus (talk) 22:11, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
You don't have proof they're semi-pro, do you? It's the same, i couldn't find any webpage or any evidence in AUF webpage Juanan412 (talk) 07:32, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
@Juanan412 The OneFootball interview says they are. Spectritus (talk) 08:32, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
But it is not valid. The interview doesn´t mention any source. We need a report or a text where the status and ownership of the team is explained. You can find Atletico Suzuka webpage but there is no webpage for teams like Hacele un Gol a la Vida. Juanan412 (talk) 11:04, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
@Juanan412 Carmona's current club is Liffa Club. He hasn't played for Hacele Un Gol a la Vida since 2023. Both clubs being in the fourth tier of their league and being part of the league system they probably have the same status which is probably semi-pro. Spectritus (talk) 14:14, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
I know he is currently playing in Liffa Club, but i meant that if Hacele Un Gol a LA Vida is an amateur club, he stopped the streak. But, nevertheless, "probably" is not enough. We would need more documentation about those teams. Can you find information about them? Are there evidences? Reports of games played, etc? Juanan412 (talk) 15:05, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
@Juanan412 Okay, according to my research the Uruguayan fourth tier is amateur (obviously not in the same sense as a sunday league) and the Japanese fourth tier is semi-pro. Spectritus (talk) 15:51, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

@FireflyBot Hello. Understood. However, I don't think it has been five months since it became a draft as it was initially in the mainspace because I translated the French article. Spectritus (talk) 17:12, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

2025... I Let You Go
*vworp vworp, vworp vworp*
The Space-Time Telepgraph is back again with our final issue of the year. With 13-episodes of Who-related content broadcast in 2025, it marked the biggest year in the Whoniverse since 2017! Take a quick read below for all the Wikipedia-related (and non-Wikipedia-related) Doctor Who news that you missed, and everything you have to look forward to. Happy New Year! 🥳🎉

Would you like a jelly baby Good or Featured article?

It's been several months since the last newsletter, and a number of new GAs have been added to the quality content list. In total we have promoted nearly 50 Good Articles this year, on top of one Featured Article, making this the year with the largest amount of promoted Doctor Who-related content in Wikipedia history (Beating our previous record of 2012's 36 by a significant margin).
Congratulations to all of our editors who have contributed to quality content this year, and we hope to see the number of quality articles under our project grow as time goes on.

Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network

  • A five-part miniseries and spin-off of Doctor Who, The War Between the Land and the Sea concluded airing this month on BBC One. The series will release on Disney+ next year. The conclusion of that series on Disney+ will officially mark the end of the co-production deal between the Beeb and the Mouse House that was first announced in 2022. While Doctor Who has been confirmed to continue with a 2026 Christmas Special written by Russell T Davies, its status in international markets has yet to be announced. CBeebies has also found an animation partner for a 52-part animated spin-off set to begin production next year and air across two series from 2027–2029.
  • The War Between will also receive a DVD and Blu-ray release on 27 February. A physical release of the soundtrack album for that series from Lorne Balfe will precede it on 30 January; however, it is already available on digital platforms. On 12 December, the long-awaited and long-requested tenth series soundtrack from Murray Gold was published.
  • Season 21 will receive a "Collection" release on 16 March, featuring a remastered episodes with new special features. Additionally a plethora of new audio and print stories are due for publication in early 2026.
