Statement by Yukichigai

Over a period of several months TTN has engaged in a pattern of edits performed on various fiction or fiction-related articles which has caused a large amount of discordancy and general unpleasantness on Wikipedia. The core of these actions has been a large-scale and often times very hurried blanking and redirecting of numerous episode or character articles to a related "parent" article, usually with no information from the smaller articles retained in the course of the "merge" and often times with little discussion of the matter. When there is a discussion opened TTN is either absent from the process or completely unmoved by any opinions which do not agree with his own.

While on their face these actions are not particularly different than those of many other "passionate" or "strong willed" editors on Wikipedia, TTN's behavior is particularly troubling because of the sheer number of such edits he performs in a given day of editing and his relative inflexibility in compromising on his edits. On casual glance I can find several instances where in a ~12-hour period TTN has blanked and redirected over 200 articles, and in situations where such edits have been reverted the only edits TTN has subsequently made to that article have either been the addition of {{merge}} tags or additional reverts to turn the article into a redirect page.

Furthermore, there is a sense of what can only be described as spite in many dealings with TTN. When responding to editor comments on talk pages TTN has implied he will achieve his goals by edit war attrition, openly expressed his intention to engage in a revert war, stated that the number of users who disagree with him "doesn't really matter", threatened to take articles to AfD if users don't go along with his merge and then effectively called those users stupid. TTN has also indicated numerous times that when it comes to merge discussions acceptable consensus is what he says it is.

Irrespective of the nature of the policies and guidelines TTN is upholding, his execution thereof is having a vastly detrimental effect on both the mood of editors and the quality of Wikipedia as a whole. Attempts to reason with him or otherwise convince him to conduct himself in a more pleasant and less off-putting manner have met with no success. Based on his unwillingness to participate in the WP:AN/I discussion and several comments on various talk pages I feel that there is no way to persuade him to change his behavior other than Arbitration.

Statement by sgeureka

First and foremost, I strongly believe that an article needs to satisfy wikipedia's policies and guidelines, or should at least demonstrate its potential to do so. So, it seems, does TTN. There are some TV shows that have already shown that individual episode articles are not necessary at all, e.g.

(other guidelines). I should probably state in this light that I support the enforcement of policies and guidelines but not necessarily TTN's actions.

There are obviously controversies and edit wars between TTN and fans, e.g. at

is the result of three hours of work of research. I'll let other be the judge.

As taking episode articles to AfD is frowned upon (e.g. here), I consider the month-long episode notability & merge discussions completely appropriate. I do however see why fans are so critical of the redirecting (instead of the claimed merging) business. To accomodate fans a little, I suggested to TTN some days ago to just "dump" all old plot summaries (and add cleanup tags) into the episode lists in the merging process instead of just redirecting, and he replied "It may work for a couple people here and there, but the rest will just complain about something else.". I can't tell whether he is right with his assessment, but I would still prefer this approach instead of just redirection (edit: I am neutral on this now.) Still, my desired outcome of this case (if it should open) would be to strengthen the awareness and acceptance of

Hi, I am here as per notification on my talk page.

I think in core any large scale edits involving a mass number of "articles in general" must be based on a solid consensus. Mere disagreement in personal interpretation of a non-critical guideline is no such consensus. Encyclopedic standards are determined by the entire community as a whole including "franchise fans" and everyone else and not by an "elite group" of users in support of each other.

People blanking fiction related articles so far has failed to quote such a discussion that agrees with the mass urgent and indisputable blanking of poorly written (virtually any non-featured fiction related article) fiction related article. Furthermore people ("blankers" I'll reference them here for the sake of clarity) have been avoiding any serious discussion on the matter.

• An RFC is out of the question because RFCs deal with spesific articles or people which is not the case. The problem involves a broad number of people and a very broad number of articles. This problem is neither a spesific user or spesific article.
• A mediation isn't possible if people aren't willing to discuss this issue. Several users, even uninvolved ones have tried to resolve the dispute but their concerns were outright ignored (see
  WP:CANVASS. Groups of people who request the redirectification turns out to be the same people. There is also the "ganged up" slow-paced revert wars for redirectification. For that particular random pick, I found this source and this source with a trivial amount of effort
  .

• There also is evidence of slow paced revert wars among other things that does not violate the word of but the spirit of
  Samurai Shodown
  video game series (at least I do not see it).
• The process of article development of
  WP:STUB -> start class -> b-class -> ga-class -> a-class -> featured class is not been observed. Any article below featured class may get redirectified or heavily trimmed (prompting redirectification later on) and even featured or formerly featured (Bulbasaur
  ) articles aren't immune to this.
• I am not even counting the strain on the system due to this such as the orphanage of mass amount of fair-use images as a result. Their deletion aside, if the mass redirectification was done improperly we do have a serious backlog for undeletion of these images.

Although there is a jaw dropping and obvious problem, the community has so far had ignored the issue despite its scale. This may probably be because of its overwhelming scale. Community is uncertain weather or not to allow non-discussion speedy mass removals of content.

Comment by Peregrine Fisher

TTN is using redirection (under the guise of merging) and slow motion edit warring (make two reverts, wait 24 hours if necessary before making more) to make an end run around AfD. It's because he doesn't like the results there, where he can't control the final decision. He's pretty rude about it as well, with comments like "Please read over WP:3RR, especially the nut shell. Anyways, I'm sure you'll back down before I do. TTN 23:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)"[4] being typical. - Peregrine Fisher 15:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Ned Scott

Using arbcom to handle this situation is probably not the best idea. We don't come here to set policy. If this is about how TTN and others (possibly myself) have dealt with these situations, then I can see that, but please take into consideration the sheer amount of ranting and complaints that TTN has had to deal with. (not to say that all of the complaints where that way.) I'm also concerned that the reason this arbitration case was suggested was not to address the behavior of anyone, but rather to protect the fiction-related articles themselves from being merged, redirected, or deleted.

TTN has taken up a lot of work that no one really wants. I find myself making parallels between the responses people give him with the response people were giving when Betacommandbot started mass tagging. One of the big reasons fiction-related articles have grown so much out of control is because people don't want to put up with all the complaints by the local editors of those articles.

I believe the solution to a lot of these issues is not about having X article on Wikipedia or not, but finding it a proper home. No one likes to see the work they've done, or the work someone else has done, simply "go away". I myself have recently got involved in the first real/mass transwiki project that I've done, in relation to

for the future.

A few of us attempted to make a review process for TV episodes at

WP:TV-REVIEW

. The process was attacked before it ever got off the ground, but we were able to organize several review discussions. The formality of the process is likely why it stalled, but I think we were still able to learn from it, We do still need a way other than AfD to deal with mass sub-fiction related articles.

In other words, we are trying to find better ways to deal with these situations. It will take some time, and more input from the community, to help make these things go more smoothly.

Fiction, entertainment, and pop-culture articles often have had situations like this, where when some people start getting strict about policies and guidelines, there are people who will be very upset about it. Other examples include

. It is a very unfortunate situation, but I don't think it's fair to say that anyone is actually doing something "wrong" here. This is more than likely simply one of those growing pains for Wikipedia, as we find a better way to deal with these articles.

I don't always agree with everything that TTN does, and there are times when I wish he would be less aggressive. Often I look at my own past actions and wonder why I sometimes get so passionate about some of these things.

I honestly believe that, more than anything, we need direction and not hand slapping. I believe TTN, myself, and others on both sides of this dispute, will all be glad to find other methods to dealing with these articles that doesn't put us at each other's throats. I don't think we'll find the solution in an arbcom case, but it is likely that the attention we are getting right now is a good starting point for a new batch of discussion that will involve the greater community. -- Ned Scott 22:40, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Ursasapien

This case has both broad and narrow implications. First, the broad issue is that Wikipedia must deal with the issue of fiction related articles, preferably sooner than later. Two broad groups are focused on this issue and a wiki-war has developed. The one side feel that Wikipedia has too many poor-quality or non-notable articles related to fiction. As the retitled request indicates, these articles generally involve television episodes and characters in fictional works (to include video games). This side believes that all these articles are damaging to the quality of the encyclopedia. They have been looking for various ways to clean out Wikipedia (deletion, redirection to lists, merging information, transferring to wikia, etc.)

The other side in this content war feel that, as there are no space limitations and no time limit, Wikipedia should contain an article on the latest episode of Kim Possible and editors should be given nearly unlimited time to come up with "real world" information like critical response or cultural significance. These editors contend that a large number of viewers is enough to establish notability.

There have been allegations on both sides and both sides saying they are using existing Wikipedia policies and guidelines like

. So, somewhere, we as a broad community need to have the discussion and develop consensus regarding how we will cover fiction related topics and we need to clarify what notability is and how we establish it.

As for TTN's behavior, I have absolutely no doubt that he feels he is doing something incredibly valuble for the encyclopedia. In my honest opinion, wholesale redirection (usually without any merging) is not helping make the encyclopedia better and is only stoking the flames on this massive content war. To answer one of the arbitrators' question, yes there has been an RfC and other attempts at mediation. There has also been RfC's on editors in the opposing camp. TTN firmly believes he is in the right and he is often curt and blunt in his responses (skirting the edge of civility in my opinion). Nevertheless, I do not believe any editor can say his behavior is anywhere near "indisputably problematic." His behavior is disruptive for some editors and heroic to others. I would like to see him slow it down a bit (like 10 redirects a day and only 1 revert per article per day), until we can have the broader discussion in full, but YMMV. Ursasapien (talk) 08:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to TTN: I appreciate your commitment to use AfD, but I hope you can quantify "more." I think AfD is slower, but it lends itsself to more reasoned actions and consensus building (and shields you from allegations that you are rashly "deleting" articles). I also like the suggestion on the talk page that an Article for Merge and Redirect process be developed. I think one of the primary issues is TTN's good faith but aggressive and prolific merging/redirecting. A commitment to using the AfD process is a great step in the right direction.

]

Statement by DanTD

I've been struggling to work on my statement, which is why I've taken so long to respond.

For the record, while I've been more passionate about protecting articles on Kim Possible episodes, I've been equally willing to protect articles on television episodes I either like, don't like, or am indifferent to. Yukichigai, White Cat, and Peregrine Fisher have already covered a great deal of what I wanted to say, but I'd like to add more. The current rampage of deletions without consensus has forced expansion of plot summaries into lists of episodes that would otherwise have their own articles, as in the case of the List of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody episodes. Upon reading the episodes "I Want My Mummy", "Arwinstein", "Team Tipton," and some others, the need for separate articles is clear. In the past, episode lists for Lizzie McGuire and Daria have also contained long plot summaries for some episodes, that require whole new pages. While I'm here I'd also like to raise the issue of the criteria for deletion. I have never objected to the idea that any articles should meet, or at least approach any of the guidelines. My grievances are that these mass deletions deprive editors of the ability to help them reach those guidelines. When articles are faced with the threat of deletion, TTN, and people like him keep insisting that we have to have "real world information" and "third party reliable sources" in order to keep the articles alive. The fact is, some of the criteria for "real world information," and "third party reliable sources" are virtually impossible to reach, especially if you intend to use them for characters such as blue-skinned failed scientific megalomaniacs with no positions of political power who seek world conquest, royal family members with genetically mutated appendages, teenagers who can transform into dragons, seasick sea serpents, talking animals, Klingons, Vulcans, Orkans, and other mythical and implausible beings. Supporters of his efforts have showed links to on-line newspaper articles, while failing to realize that these articles aren't permanent, and frequently require registration with each specific paper in order to read. Furthermore, not every episode of a TV show has had an article written about it, giving the appearance that only selected TV episodes can ever be written about. Criteria such as this makes television-related wikipedia projects elitist. To make matters worse, far too often TTN tends to change his mind about acceptable sources. At one point he told me that TV.com was acceptable, despite past criticism of the site, and later he reverted to saying it wasn't acceptable. Among the so-called "reliable sources" fansites have faced severe rejections. These are in fact the best sources for information, even if they don't provide a NPOV, because they clarify subjects that other users wouldn't be as familiar with. Every effort I've made to point out the benefits of fansites have been ignored, and every efofrt to reveal the damage caused by these deletions have beem dismissed. Every effort to transwiki the articles has failed as well, due partially to some technical problems and the lack of assistance from other users. On Sunday, November 11, 2007, during a break from an all-day heated argument with TTN, sgeureka revealed a past incident on wikipedia known as the Pokémon test. Until that point, I understood why such an effort would be carried out, but I still believe there's a clear enough distinction between "my Pokemon is more notable than yours," and the existance of an episode of a television show, as well as the events within the episode. In the meantime, TTN himself did offer me a redlink to my own sandbox, in hope of using it and others to upgrade the standards of the articles. Despite this, when I finally read the All Hell Breaks Loose (Supernatural) episode article, it became clear that is offer was little more than a ruse. In short, I can't help believing that the articles are being deleted just for the sake of doing so. Fewer of us are able to have good faith in his actions.

P.S.; I apologize if this is too long. ----DanTD (talk) 02:17, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update

I've just learned that as of this moment there are new people taking TTN's place as a mass deletionists. We're at the point where we can't mention a single title of a television show without somebody looking to delete all articles connected to it. Unfortunatley, we've been at that point for a while, but I keep making the mistake of mentioning other titles, a mistake I didn't make on my TV-related user page. ----DanTD (talk) 06:16, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Jack Merridew

If this isn't about space, as you claim, then there's really no point in getting rid of these articles. Improving the bad ones, definitley. But not getting rid of them. The idea that they're not notable is a bold-faced lie. They're only not notable to people who don't like them. And what's worse is that this rampage of destruction of articles is going far beyond works of fiction. ----DanTD (talk)

Reply to TTN

While I don't really want to make this seem like a personal attack, the way your conduct revert warnings and the procedures for reversions may as well be for AfD's. Having said that, I still appreciate the sandbox you created for me. I will work on the articles when I can, but I doubt any of them will ever meet your apporoval for revival. ----DanTD (talk) 00:43, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by TTN

This is more of a quick comment, but for my own sanity, I'm just going to be utilizing AfDs more often rather than revert warring. I don't know how much of this case has to do with that, but I may as well just put it out there. TTN (talk) 21:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Bignole

I'm only here to say, I'm not getting involved. I have far more important things to worry about in my life, and on Wikipedia, that I don't need some long draw out discussion that's basically a "he took away my articles, punish him" debate. There have been countless discussions about TTN and his actions, and this is just getting ridiculous. Television episodes are not notable for just existing, nothing is notable for just existing. Like everything else on Wikipedia you have to show notability, and that means more than just some bloghound going "I liked the episode". The terms are "SIGNIFICANT COVERAGE". I don't Webster's dictionary anyone on what "significant" means. Please do not put my name in any more arbitrations unless it's for something directly against my own actions. I probably won't participate in that one either, unless I feel I truly need to defend myself. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving if you celebrated it, if not, I just hope you have a nice, rest of the weekend. Cheers.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 15:37, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by ThuranX

I wanted to stop here and state that TTN is doing a great service to Wikipedia. His actions have prompted at least one project to start reviewing its' efforts (WP:HEROES). After seeing his earlier efforts get referenced on AN/I, I went to him and told him that WP:HEROES would like time to handle its own problem ,and brought it to their attention. It's taken some time and some other incidents to get the WP moving, but there's activity, and it seems there's consensus that the logical order of 'series; season; episode' for determining Notability is being applied. I would note that DanTD makes TTN's case for him, admitting most of the articles lack any real world coverage, and that fansites are the only, (and he states, best) sources of information. He complains that the WP:RS that TTN refers to may require registration, buying a newspaper, or trips to the library. Those are, if anything, proof that a source should be examined for reliability, not disqualifiers. Notability isn't a matter of 'but I love Zack or Cody or Kim or Whoever and they are my liiiife!", but 'did the New York Times select them as specifically being hard-hit by the writer's strike? Did their

& rit[[Best boy}Best Boys]] quarterly, perhaps?) Was the show criticized for language, violence, or slandering penguin painters? Real world coverage is the test of notability. Notability may have a narrower constraint than the widest world range; a surgeon develops a new knot, which helps in WWI, but is later surpassed by a better tie-off(made up example). This is notable to those who like WWI history, and medical history, while to the rest of the world, it's dismissed as a curiosity. However, it probably satisfies notability, given statistics about it's efficacy over the even older knot. Notability, however, should never be narrowed to 'fans of the third season of Kim Possible Love this third season episode of Kim Possible, as evidenced by the KimPossibleThirdSeasonforever.com website!'. We have rules.

TTN is not inflexible on this stuff, when I approached him, he was calm and cool, and had no problem letting the project handle it. The problem is that fans are rabid, and rabidly defend their show, instead of really thinking about the most encyclopedic way to present it. Wikipedia is meant to be an overview, not a free hosting fan site. Frankly, overlong plot summaries without real-world response belong on the WiKimpossible.com wikia. (or whatever it's called, that's my TM, get your own.) here, an article about the show ought to be enough. It's not a notable cartoon, really. Flintstones parodied the Honeymooners, Scooby Doo was on the recieving end of 30 years of marijuana jokes. KimPossible doesn't even do well as selling toys, does it?

I support TTN's efforts, and if hes' being incivil, which I see little of, then He needs to stop that, but it's understandable, as he sees 'but I LLLLOOOOOVVVEEE this episode too much' over and over and over again. ThuranX (talk) 23:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by the RingtailedFox

I've seen that TTN first started off with genuinely good intentions (good faith) and good edits on articles. Then, somewhere along the line, he began mass nominating articles for merge and deletion. I mean by the DOZENS. His talk page alone is a testament to all the people this user has annoyed (to put it lightly) with his "AFD-Everything!" attitude. When confronted or asked to stop, he quickly loses civility and becomes immature, using dubious reasons to nominate things, such as "not in the real world", "gamecruft", or "not notable" (in the case of Star Fox-related articles), or simply stalks people and nominates every article they mention or edit. He has been having some friends help him as well, and i've become suspicious that he may be the host of a few sockpuppets (my suspicions come from them complimenting each other, saying they need to "do this more often", meaning mass-nominate articles). It's now come down to revert-warring with me and several other wikipedians on various articles because of his self-imposed proposal to merge all secondary video game articles into one main article.

Upon being out-voted on a discussion of merging, he then proceeds to merge anyway, despite concensus. [5]. Something needs to be done to tell this user to calm down and stop nominating everything in sight. He also confuses me with opposing offers of being willing to trans-wiki things over to wikia.com, (such as Star Fox, Digimon, Sonic the Hedgehog, and so on), but then goes right back demanding that the articles be merged, or deleted and proceeds with those actions.

Arbitrators' opinions on hearing this matter (5/0/0/0)

• Accept. Given the sheer scale of TTN's activity, forcing the parties to go through the motions of preliminary dispute resolution while he continues unabated would be a bad idea. Kirill 21:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Questions? Has the editor received feedback from an editor conduct RFC? Has a true attempt at mediation of the dispute occurred? If an user's activity is indisputably problematic then the Community will usually handle it. Is there disagreement in the Community about how to handle the dispute?

Temporary injunction (none)

Final decision

Decorum

1) Wikipedia users are expected to behave reasonably and calmly in their interactions with other users, to keep their cool when editing, and to avoid acting in a manner that brings the project into disrepute. Unseemly conduct—including, but not limited to, personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, trolling, harassment, and gaming the system—is prohibited. Users should not respond to such behavior in kind; concerns regarding the actions of other users should be brought up in the appropriate forums.

Passed 9 to 0 at 14:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Editorial process

2) Wikipedia works by building consensus through the use of polite discussion. The dispute resolution process is designed to assist consensus-building when normal talk page communication has not worked. Sustained editorial conflict is not an appropriate method of resolving disputes.

Passed 9 to 0 at 14:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Role of the Arbitration Committee

4) It is not the role of the Arbitration Committee to settle good-faith content disputes among editors.

Passed 7 to 1 at 14:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Editorial process: guidelines

5.1) Editors working to implement guidelines that have wide consensus support within the community need not rehash the discussion of a general guideline each time they apply it.

Passed 6 to 2 at 14:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Editorial process: consensus can change

6) Consensus is not immutable. It is reasonable, and sometimes necessary, for both individual editors and particularly the community as a whole to change its mind.

Passed 9 to 0 at 14:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Locus of dispute

1) The dispute centers on the existence of articles regarding individual episodes or characters from television series, and is part of a broader disagreement regarding the interpretation of notability guidelines with reference to fictional and popular culture topics.

Passed 8 to 0 at 14:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Television episodes

3.1) Like many editing guidelines,

and note that there is an article for each episode. An ideal response to such situations would be broader discussion of the guideline among editors with varying editing interest, with consensus achieved prior to widespread changes.

Passed 8 to 0 at 14:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Remedies

Note: All remedies that refer to a period of time, for example to a ban of X months or a revert parole of Y months, are to run concurrently unless otherwise stated.

Parties urged

2) The parties are urged to work collaboratively and constructively with the broader community and the editors committed to working on the articles in question to develop and implement a generally acceptable approach to resolving the underlying content dispute.
