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:
Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
@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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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 mots19:58, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(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 mots22:03, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
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 mots19:20, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
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 mots20:10, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
@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)[reply]

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.
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.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Forest Green Rovers F.C., you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National League.
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.

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.
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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).
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 🌹

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)[reply]
