What is your source for the changes that you've been making regarding the Berenstain Bears television projects? Theoldsparkle (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- I believe you are acting in good faith, but I will continue to revert your changes regarding the Berenstain Bears TV series or specials until you can explain where you're getting your information from. Theoldsparkle (talk) 19:41, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- If you do not stop making big changes to these articles without explaining the source of your information, I will be taking the matter to Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. I really don't want to have to do that. Below is a draft of what I would post there to explain my issue with your editing. You are free and encouraged to respond here so that I might not need to post at ANI at all.
User:74.127.167.105 began editing a week ago, with an apparent interest in children's television, particularly TV adaptations of the Berenstain Bears. Several of their edits appear to be okay, at least to my uninformed eye (examples: ). They've written some odd things ( ) that make me wonder if they're fluent in English, but they haven't reacted to my reversions in those cases. (I don't know whether any of the information they've added is accurate, but I've left it alone where it seems reasonable.)
Where we keep butting heads is at Berenstain Bears#Television and The Berenstain Bears (1985 TV series). At both these articles, the IP keeps inserting these complete, elaborate episode lists, with episode titles and airdates, that doesn't correlate to any information I've been able to find anywhere (except where the same IP has added the same info to a Berenstain Bears Wikia). At the former article, we have sources that say five BB specials aired from 1979 to 1984; the IP insists 36 "specials" aired in that time. At the 1985 series article, the IP changes the airdates of several episodes and removes many of them entirely. That article has no sources, but every other website I've looked at agrees with what was there, not what the IP insists. From my limited investigation, I think all the IP's episode titles are actual titles of videos or TV episodes released at some point, but with no connection to when the IP says they aired on TV.
I have asked the IP several times to explain the source of their information, but the IP has not responded in any form, and just keeps making the same changes or the same type of changes. I do think they're probably acting in good faith, but I'd rather not keep reverting the same incorrect-by-all-indications content in perpetuity. Theoldsparkle (talk) 19:00, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Because you have persisted in making these drastic changes without providing any explanation, or any acknowledgement of the issues I have raised with you, I have posted a report about this matter at WP:ANI#IP persisting in making drastic changes without sources or explanation to request guidance.
