	== Ditch Davey ==

			Would some others mind taking a look at ]? Earlier this year, I observed not many editors (not including myself) did add breaking news events related to Aussie television in 2024. I think this might also be the case for the upcoming ] article, to be created next year by a Wikipedian.
	Would someone from WP:AUTV mind taking a look at ] and assessing it? Two IPs (most likely the same person) have recently removed some of the content possibly related to Davey's real name, etc., but I reverted them since the edits basically left the article without a lead sentence. It's quite possible that "Kristian Lind " is not his real name (IMDb lists his birth name as Kristian Davey) and all of the sources found online seem to refer to him as Ditch Davey; so, perhaps all of the other name stuff should be removed unless it can be properly sourced. FWIW, the "Kristian Davey" stuff was added by another IP but no supporting sources were provided. -- ] (]) 10:28, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

	::Thanks for checking on this {{u\|Kb.au}}. Removing any mention of the birthname might be the best thing to do.

	Hello, I work at Behind the News and the show' 50th anniversary is next year. As part of this process we've done some original research (talking to past producers) and have a wealth of information we can provide. How do I go about updating the page in a legitimate way? My thinking was to pair up with a wikipedian who is able to look over a Google Doc we will write?

	:Hi {{u\|Danielmee}}. I'm not really a member of this WikiProject, but I'll just leave a few general comments. I am going to write this as if you're a total newbie, even though you're probably not. So, you may know most of this already.
	:First of all, you will have a ] with respect to the subject matter and also may even be considered a ]. Neither COI editing or paid editing is expressly forbidden on Misplaced Pages, but they are highly discouraged because they can lead to other more serious issues. So, please read ] for some general information about what kinds of edits the ] feels are acceptable for COI/paid editors to make. If it turns out that you are being paid or compensated for your work, then you should make sure you comply with ] because you will be expected to do certain things to comply with ]. In general, COI/paid editors are encourage to propose changes that they would like to seen made to articles on ] so that they can be reviewed by others. In some cases, such as listed in ], it might be acceptable to directly edit the relevant article itself, but in the majority of cases it's better to use the article talk page. Nobody can force you to do so, but editing on Misplaced Pages is typically done by ] and any changes you make to the COI article can simply be undone if someone else find's them controversial. So, it's better to establish a consensus first per ].
	:The next thing you need to be aware of is ] because nobody techinically owns a Misplaced Pages article (unless you count Misplaced Pages) per se. This once again means that article content is expected to be determined for the most part through consensus and is to be in accordance with relevant ]. Disagreements over content are supposed to be resolved according to ] so the subject of articles do not have any final editorial control over what goes into and article or what is removed.
	:Finally, the last thing you need to be aware of is ]. Article content is really only supposed to reflect what can be verified through citations to ]. They sources are generally preferred to be ] and ], and are required to be ]. Basically, Misplaced Pages is not too interested in what the subject of an article has to say about itself, but rather is interested in what others might be saying about it. A "reliable source" has a specific meaning with respect to Misplaced Pages, so even though you might considered these past producers to be quite reliable individuals, they probably don't qualify as a reliable source for Misplaced Pages purposes. Also, ] which may be true and even verifiable by a citing a reliable sources needs to be mentioned in an article; so, sometimes a bit of editorial discretion might be needed to focus only the really encyclopedically relevant points.
	:If you have any more questions about this or editing in general, you can also try the ] since experienced editors tend to hang out there trying to help others. Nore specific questions about COI/Paid editing can be asked at ]. -- ] (]) 04:47, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
	:: Thanks heaps {{reply to\|Marchjuly}} for your help. {{reply to\|Cyphoidbomb}} just recently clarified your first point to me over on my talk page which was great; point two I did know and I didn't know about point three. This is going to be hard as no one seems to be talking about BTN except the ABC despite being the third longest running TV show in Oz! I have sent a message to NLA though to see if they can help us... not sure if there are any other ways to get "published"...? Thanks heaps for your help! Daniel Mee 15:17, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Christian Manon

Would some others mind taking a look at Christian Manon? I stumbled across while checking on some recent file uploads, and it appears that it's been edited by the subject himself numerous times over the years, the last being this from a few months back. The article might've also created by the subject back in 2006 using the account Christian Manon. Anyway, I tried Googling the name and didn't really get any hits that show WP:GNG or even WP:NACTOR. Some primary sources show up, but not really any secondary ones. The article was AfD already once in 2006, but it doesn't seemed to have really improved since then. I thought about adding {{Notability}} to the top of the article, but not sure if there's a point after all these years. I did some minor clean up, added an infobox photo and added a citation, but it seems like there might just be too much to WP:OVERCOME. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I agree with you; the actor does not appear notable enough to warrant a Misplaced Pages page. (Also, here is the original deletion discussion from 2006, if anyone is interested: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Christian Manon.) Mr Sitcom (talk) 07:19, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
