Magnum P.I. (2018 TV series)

Hey, how's it been? Just wanted to stop by and message you real quick about the article Magnum P.I. (2018 TV series). As you're the top contributor to the article, I wanted to tell you, with great joy, that the article is almost GA-ready. All it needs is the addition of some images and for an expansion of #Critical_response. The article is well-written, and with those suggestions being taken into consideration, I believe that the article is ready to become a good one. If you ever think of nominating it, ping me, and I will be happy to review it as I have done so with seasons 1, 2, and 3. Well, that's it from me (I hope to hear from you soon). Adios. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 22:48, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

@Some Dude From North Carolina: I'm doing well! Hope you are too? Thanks for your comments about the article, I plan on trying to reduce the casting section a bit and adding a section about the Lenkov-verse relation. Once that's done I'll take care of your suggestions and nominate it, once it's nominated I'll let you know. Thanks again for reviewing the three season articles!

BradfordNewton

I saw that you and Drmargi reverted this editor on The Rookie. BradfordNewton seemed to be adding the dramedy/comedy-drama genre on multiple drama TV series articles. As far as I know, we go by reliable sources. When reliable sources called the TV series a drama, then it is a drama. I am sure a lot of drama TV series have a little humor here and there, but that doesn't make them dramedy/comedy-drama. A lot of sitcoms have a little drama here and there, but that doesn't make them dramedy/comedy-drama. — YoungForever(talk) 04:14, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

@YoungForever: TLDR; your statement about sources is correct as well as the fact that it has comedy moments but it's not a defining genre. You are correct in that we go by reliable sources, the documentation for Template:Infobox television states "The genre of the show. [...] Genres must be reliably sourced." and the rest of the article should follow the same standards. I believe in this edit summary the user was referring to the the fact that the categories of the article listed it as a comedy-drama and that therefore justified adding it to the Infobox but they have that logic the wrong way round; the categories should be added based on what is in the article so that's why I removed the comedy-specific categories. I definitely agree with the last statement there, Hawaii Five-0 had its comedy bits (McGarrett using a military grenade to force open a pawn shop door, the various carguments) but that doesn't make it a comedy series, albeit The Rookie does have more comedy moments but it still isn't a defining genre, police procedurals that are also comedy would be series such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine or Angie Tribeca. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:37, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
I'm in complete agreement. BradfordNewton has just reverted the most recent changes by TheDoctorWho, who removed the categories. I reverted again and started a discussion on the talk page, making similar arguments to the above, with one additional point: I find too many editors assume that because humor is used in a drama, it must be a comedy-drama, particularly if one or more major cast members is associated with comedy programming, such as Nathan Fillion. The Rookie started a little lighter than it is now, as the rookies learned their craft and made their mistakes, but has grown increasingly serious as it's become more of a traditional ensemble police procedural. But never in that history was it ever what could be described as a comedy-drama, and the removal of the genre and categories was appropriate. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 18:37, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
@YoungForever and Drmargi: I noticed that the user also added The Rookie to List of comedy-drama television series, I've removed it for now but just another place to keep an eye on. I've added it to my watchlist just in case but things get buried there sometimes. Thanks, TheDoctorWho (talk) 15:17, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
Scratch that, looks like it may have been added there by a different use but should probably still watch out for it. TheDoctorWho (talk) 15:19, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.
