Misplaced Pages articles are not reliable sources

Per WP:WPNOTRS, Misplaced Pages articles are user-generated content and are not considered to be reliable sources for other Misplaced Pages articles. Therefore, I have removed all Misplaced Pages articles cited as sources in the article. If these are relevant to the information being discussed, then they should added as simple Wikilinks and not inline citations. - Marchjuly (talk) 06:44, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Centric episode(s)

A discussion regarding the meaning and value of listing "Centric episode(s)" in the character infobox has been started at Talk:The Walking Dead (TV series)#Character page infoboxes - "Centric episode(s)". Please feel free to join discussion if interested. Thanks in advance. - Marchjuly (talk) 02:49, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

the lead

Hello, Flyer22, I just want to let you know that I reinserted one of the sentences that you deleted from the lead ("Shane is the childhood friend of Rick who he sees get shot and believes to have died in the hospital when the outbreak occurs") and I added a new one as well ("Rick was later forced to kill him when he turned into a zombie."). Looking at your edit summary, I don't agree that the lead had "too much detail" (although it did have grammar problems, I'll give you that). The lead was of understandable length, and it had information that thoroughly summarized the subsections, which is why I restored that section. That particular paragraph of the lead only has like 4-5 sentences now, and not very lengthy sentences at that. However, I do want to thank you for fixing the grammar errors, rephrasing some stuff (I'm a huge walking dead fan, btw). 236benderavenue (talk) 22:19, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

236benderavenue (talk · contribs), what I reverted here was too much detail. And, as you can see, an IP reverted you first. And then I reverted you. The "Shane is the childhood friend of Rick who he sees get shot and believes to have died in the hospital when the outbreak occurs" part is redundant to the "In the comic series" paragraph. We don't have to recount the same thing that happens in the comic book series. Readers will assume that the same thing happens, unless we give them reason to believe that the television portrayal has deviated from the comics. And if the television portrayal has deviated from the comics, then we note that. Most importantly, it is bad form to unnecessarily include major spoilers in the lead. Our readers generally do not like that, which is exactly why that IP removed your huge spoiler. For what I have stated on unnecessarily spoiling, see this discussion and this discussion for examples. Like I stated in that first discussion, we have generally been leaving huge spoilers out of the lead of The Walking Dead character articles. We only include them if they seem like something that should be in the WP:Lead, as an improvement. And as seen in that second discussion, we removed unnecessary spoiling from the lead of the Kingsman: The Secret Service article. Imagine if you were a reader coming to Misplaced Pages to simply read the lead to learn a little about the topic and were hugely spoiled. Unless you like spoilers, you would find that unacceptable. And our readers repeatedly find it unacceptable.

Also, don't WP:Ping me to this talk page. This talk page is clearly on my WP:Watchlist. Flyer22 (talk) 03:41, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Also, if you are that IP, given that your 236benderavenue account is very new and that you showed to restore part of what that IP removed, it would perhaps be best that you acknowledge that you are that IP. I immediately suspected you as the IP. When, above, I mentioned an IP removing your content, I initially thought a different IP had removed it. Flyer22 (talk) 03:53, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Nah, my n*gga, that IP editor ain't me (Why would I revert myself?) However, I do want to thank you for clarifying this sticky pandemonium we found ourselves in. I wouldn't want a good movie spoiled for me either. 236benderavenue (talk) 14:44, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

It's common for people to revert themselves on Misplaced Pages; I think you know that. Flyer22 (talk) 21:24, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Sasha Williams (The Walking Dead) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 07:15, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Lilly

@The Optimistic One: Hi, wondered if you could help, the character box lists the video game character Lilly as a significant other with a note connecting the dialogue in a scene from the TV series to one in the video game. Can this be proven? Thanks, Theo Mandela (talk) 15:42, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Shane listed as the biological father of Judith Grimes?

In what episode and/or comic was it stated he is certainly her father? I only ever remember it being suggested as a possibility and Misplaced Pages doesn't state something as fact until it's been confirmed.EagleEyeBerry (talk) 21:55, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
