About me expanding the Ifish article

@Happily888, I have expanded the Ifish article and added sources from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ifish, that Cunard suggested, including ones about the program's Logie Award for Most Popular Lifestyle Program nominations in 2012 and 2013.

Reverts in Australian Survivor edits

Hello. I’d like to address the issue with the edits that you have reverted. Unfortunately, the tables that you are reverting fail to comply with MOS:ACCESS and MOS:COLOR:

Ensure that color is not the only method used to communicate important information. Especially, do not use colored text or background unless its status is also indicated using another method, such as an accessible symbol matched to a legend, or footnote labels. Otherwise, blind users or readers accessing Wikipedia through a printout or device without a color screen will not receive that information.
— Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Color

When I presented these edits, you said it was "my ideals" and asked for a consensus among editors. There is one already: Survivor task force (based on Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Television/Archive_12#RfC_about_elimination-style_reality_programs). Many users have agreed that it is important to follow Wikipedia's MOS for each reality show, regardless of which version it may be.

Please take this information into consideration. This is for the better of Wikipedia, not for personal reasons whatsoever. Freddy7GL (talk) 17:10, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Please note that I have already stated that the Survivor task force is a WikiProject related to the American TV series and therefore its discussion page isn't the right venue for making a consensus for this article and it therefore doesn't apply, especially when those series haven't been notified of the discussion when it was occurring. I agree with the consensus on following MOS guideline, however formats which follow MOS are not all the same and international series of franchises do not have to have the exact same tables as the original series, especially because the series are different and therefore discussions need to take place before making major changes to articles.

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Love Island (2015 TV series) series 12

You have changed the name of Love Island (2015 TV series) series 11 and this is incorrect.

Love Island: All Stars was a spin-off series and sources refer to it as much. As you can see here ITVX list it completely separate to the main series ^[1] and sources refer to All Stars as the "first series", just like I'm a Celebrity... South Africa. Please change this back 2A00:23EE:1410:2687:AC4A:543:DE03:F758 (talk) 12:44, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Your reversion to my edits for Gadigal

Hello there

I have tried to engage you in discussion on the Talk page a couple of times but you have not responded and continue to undo my edits while leaving edit summaries which do not explain why you have reverted sourced information. I have removed unsourced information which has nothing to do with the Gadigal and have replaced it with reliably sourced information. I have explained these changed in detail on the Talk page. Rather than simply revert all my changes could you please discuss this on the article talk page and justify your reversions?

Thank you Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 02:23, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

I didn't undo your edits, I've just been doing copy-edits of your poor edits as you can see from the edit summaries which I assume you haven't read properly; also you do not WP:OWN the article. You're the user who has been reverting my edits whilst not justifying your reversions, its the norm on Wikipedia to keep status quo when a contentious statement needs to be discussed. Happily888 (talk) 02:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Ok, my apologies. The edit history showed a reversion and your edit summary didn't really explain what my "poor editing" was. I notice that you restored the following sentence: "The 1789 smallpox epidemic was estimated to have killed about 53% of the local Dharug population". The source is diven as Cumston's History of Small Pox in Australia. No page number is given, but I checked the source and it says nothing of the kind. (Apart from the fact that 53% is a pretty precise estimate given that we still have no idea how many Aboriginal people there were in Sydney in 1788.) That's why I changed it to: "The 1789 smallpox epidemic was estimated to have killed about half of the Sydney Aboriginal population". The source for this is the Sydney Barani website cited. Would you please revert back to my version which is properly sourced. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 03:19, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Please note that you have restored an earlier (2002) version of the Barani website. The most recent version here should be used. Also note that the restored version does not contain sources which confirm the statement: " "The 1789 smallpox epidemic was estimated to have killed about 53% of the local Dharug population" Would you please use the latest version of the website and my text which is an accurate summary of the relevant part?
