Superman 4

Do you just don't want people to know it was filmed in Aldwych tube station or something?? Govvy (talk) 16:52, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to cite a reliable source known for fact-checking. That's literally the minimum requirement. DonQuixote (talk) 16:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What do you want, take your pick, [1], [2], [3], and it's now your turn to restore the content because I can't break WP:3RR. Govvy (talk) 16:56, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you study WP:RS. Here's a hint: which of those has a fact-checking department. It's probably not the tourist companies. DonQuixote (talk) 17:05, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're clearly not here to building wikipedia then it seems, so I will blacklist you from now on. Govvy (talk) 18:23, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Er...ok?...seriously, WP:RS literally states Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Note that they use the same phrase that I used fact-checking. If you can't find a source that's renown for fact-checking mentioning this about a widely-known film, then it's probably not notable enough for an encyclopaedia.

Dark City (film 1997) Revert Edit

I will reinstate my plot edit to the article on this film. What do you care if the plot summary is "bloated"? Astrophysic66 (talk) 05:02, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:FILMPLOT: Plot summaries for feature films should be between 400 and 700 words. DonQuixote (talk) 10:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WIkiProject Doctor Who: September 2024 Newsletter

The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue II — September 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

You like Doctor Who? What's his name then?

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff.

Articles for deletion
Several articles have been nominated for deletion, such as Time War (Doctor Who), and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBOOK. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up.

Notice of Draft Articles
A new Doctor Who spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called The War Between the Land and the Sea, and will feature old and new Whoniverse characters working for UNIT as they battle the Sea Devils. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is currently underway in a draft article. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at WP:NTV.


There is also a draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome.

Doctor Who News
A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of Doctor Who News. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the Appreciation Index of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith.


A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the WikiProject talk page.

Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content
There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A sub-page has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards.

Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject

Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows:
1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD.
2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit.
3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue.
If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on the article's talk page.

Hello. Could you explain why my use of an external link was improper when it was in the external link category please ?

Sincerely, Spectritus (talk) 14:26, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, it's not an external link. Secondly, apart from a cameo, which counts as trivia, the subject you're trying to link to is of no importance to the article in question. DonQuixote (talk) 14:41, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. He is mentioned alongside the "Morbius Doctors" and is the only one who doesn't have a Wikipedia page. That's why I wanted to link his page on the French Wikipedia. Spectritus (talk) 14:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikilink his name in the article at first mention. DonQuixote (talk) 15:04, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
