Australian Survivor footnotes
[edit]Hi, you removed the Efn footnotes I added on the Australian Survivor Network 10 season articles. The season numbering is supremely confusing because Network 10 discounts the first 2 seasons on Nine and Seven. Can I add them back? Also, maybe we could do a small text underneath the infobox saying Season 6 of Network 10 edition. MarkiPoli (talk) 11:51, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Consensus on Australian Survivor talk page is to use production company season numbering on main and season artices, not the Network 10 season numbering. If you would like to change this, you could start a discussion on talk page to gain consensus for this addition or change, but it in general feels unnecessary and more confusing to be adding Network 10 season numbering.

Wicked poster
[edit]Hi. Please do not use the teaser poster and label it as the "theatrical release poster" on the article for Wicked (2024 film) . You can tell it is the teaser poster because of the "This films I not yet rated" description. The theatrical poster is newer, has the rating certification, and was the poster used to display the full billing block. WickedFanAccount (talk) 06:39, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- The current poster isn't the teaser poster. This was a teaser poster. Happily888 (talk) 06:47, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- As was the current one. Theatrical posters have the billing block. I can't find the digital version with a billing block, but I provided proof of the theater poster with billing block being the one I linked to in the discussion. WickedFanAccount (talk) 06:49, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

November 2024
[edit]You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wicked (2024 film). 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.
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. Liz Read! Talk! 04:06, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Happily888,
- While you haven't broken 3RR on this article lately, you still are reverting a lot of contributions from other editors in a rather knee-jerk fashion. Please remember that there are very few exceptions to the edit-warring prohibition, none of which seem to apply here. Please consider talking, on an editor's user talk page or on the article talk page, rather than making a lot of edit reverts in this article.
- I decided to post this notice today as this article is going to be seeing a lot of activity over the next few days and so there might be temptation to revert a lot of new editors but please think twice about doing that so you don't cross that 3RR bright red line. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:11, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. You have been given a Level 3 warning this month. ภץאคгöร 13:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:The Toymaker (Doctor Who)
[edit]Hello, Happily888. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:The Toymaker (Doctor Who), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Administrators' newsletter – December 2024
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).
Interface administrator changes
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated.

- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:2025 television awards
