Talk:Australia's Funniest Home Videos

I would like to start a request for comment on the usage of a "closing songs" table in this article.

I originally removed the table on 30 December for several reasons, which I will go into detail about below. It was then reinstated on 1 January by who I believe is a sockpuppet of a long-term vandal on Wikipedia (I go into more detail about this vandal below). I then removed it again, mostly because of the Wikipedia guideline that states that edits from banned and blocked users can be reverted for any reason, but also because the IP user failed to give a reason why it should be kept. It was then reinstated today on 2 January by user NickHrvo (talk · contribs).

In order to not prolong an edit war and to prevent any violations of our three revert rule, I have decided to start this RfC.

There are a few reasons as to why I believe this table should be removed:

It is largely unsourced, and likely to not be sourced in the future, due to the nature of the table. In particular, any sources would likely be the show itself. The show itself is a primary source, which are largely discouraged from use on Wikipedia.
The unsourced nature of the table serves as an opening for hoaxes and vandalism. In particular, this table is frequently edited by the Teenage Fairytale Dropouts vandal, who is a long-term vandal of Wikipedia. They add songs to this table that are either hoaxes or difficult to verify.
It is overly detailed and contains information likely to only be relevant to fans of this show. On Wikipedia, this information is called fancruft. A list of "closing songs" is simply unnecessary for the purpose of Wikipedia, which is to provide general information about many topics (including this show).

I will notify a few WikiProjects, along with NickHrvo, about this discussion so that they can participate if they so wish, and especially so NickHrvo can provide why he believes the table should be kept. wizzito | say hello! 05:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Talk:Imelda Marcos

It's been three years since the last discussion was held in regards to the infobox image. As I believed so back then, the current image (which was reached by consensus albeit) is unflattering and as one user noted above, it's a bit creepy. I created a cropped close up so you can see what I'm talking about. Her eyes are half-open, quality isn't the best and if this is truly the 'best' picture that captures what she's known for (as stated in the last discussion three years ago in terms of her outfits), then perhaps it's best to asses an infobox image based on quality over what she's 'known' for. If this is the best picture that shows her during her 'comeback' (as stated in last discussion), then once again, I must emphasize the quality of the picture (awkward lighting, unflattering eye pose, not the best in quality). These are the current images at commons that are best suited for an infobox image. As noted in other talk page discussions, when the subject of an article passes away, their infobox image is also replaced with a black and white picture or of one that captures them in their 'prime' so to speak. Although (as of now) Marcos is still alive, I feel that Option B is in better quality than the current picture, shows her as her time as First Lady (much like other first lady articles) and will depict her in her prime when she passes away (not a huge factor now, but worth thinking about).

Should animated sitcoms be listed in this article or in List of television shows notable for negative reception#Animated shows, or both? –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 03:46, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Game Science

Has Game Science's sexism controversy added controversy around Black Myth: Wukong's launch, and should this information be appended to the first sentence of the paragraph that starts with "In 2023, IGN released a report"? Aaron Liu (talk) 03:25, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
