I'm written to a few people who have contributed to the discussion on Mr Robot in the past in the hope of getting more opinions on my proposed edit. If you either support or oppose, or have other suggestions, please feel free to contribute here. Hzh (talk) 22:21, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I tried to move it, not remove it, and was in the process of restoring it but you beat me to the punch. I'm currently crippled by working from only my phone. Durty Willy (talk) 05:04, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:TVPLOT "As a rough guide, summaries for episode articles should be about 200 to 500 words." Therefore, please only remove {{plot}} if it is shorter than 500 words. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:05, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I applaud your removal of the unfounded {{plot}} template and have followed suit. For my trouble I, too, have received the above message from Redrose64. You might think they would be more concerned with a new editor who has taken it upon themselves to add this template to a number of long-standing articles, without providing edit summaries and with little or no attempt to correct the problem they imagine to be present. Anyway, I have responded to Redrose64 on their Talk Page here, if you are interested. 86.174.107.13 (talk) 19:08, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well said. I even picked up a few policies I was unaware of from your response. I've noticed that Redrose64 has declined to comment. Alex|The|Whovian 08:52, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I was in bed? It's now 11:19 here in England. You might not have noticed, but I also sent messages to the people that you were reverting and who were reverting you - User talk:70.209.27.102 and User talk:BlackGator. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:21, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed the posts to multiple useres, and how you commented to other posts on your talk page after the IP user's post, yes. Alex|The|Whovian 10:23, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Please kindly participate in the discussion at the talk page of The Flash article before reverting my addition. Thank you. 93.135.14.96 (talk) 10:43, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gain consensus before reinstating, and check the article's history. Alex|The|Whovian 10:50, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You did not "gain consensus" yourself when you removed the Episode headline with this edit. 93.135.14.96 (talk) 10:53, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The consensus has been long-established by editors long before you came and disrupted the article with your edits. Alex|The|Whovian 10:56, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is not true. There was NO consensus & NO discussion when one editor in June 2015 barged into the article and single-handedly decided to hide the Episode headline. by the way, as you know, removal of a template = having red the message of the template.

And they weren't reverted. Hence, unspoken consensus between editors to keep it as it is. Take a look at this as well, yeah? (And I've been editing Wiki for long enough, I don't need to read it to know what a template says.) And please sign your talk page posts with ~~~~.

Imagine this ineffective edit of hiding the Episode headline from the TOC. I came to this article to inform myself of the current episode of the Flash only to find my time getting wasted by some Editor who, without establishing ANY consensus, in June 2015 decided to hide the episode headline. Almost ALL other TV series articles have the Episode headline in the TOC. Those that don't have been tampered with by the same editor who removed the Episode headline from the TOC. If you or anyone else should continue to hide the Episode headline from the TOC, you will be reported to the Administrator's board. 93.135.14.96 (talk) 11:06, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're repeating yourself, buddy. There's a link for the episode in the infobox to the right of the article, so your argument is pointless. If you continue edit warring, you'll be warned and blocked/banned. One only needs to read my archives to see that I've reported plenty of you "ownership" types. Alex|The|Whovian 11:08, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Let me get this right, though. You consider "consensus" as forcing your way in and forcing your edits, compared to "no consensus" as multiple and many editors having no issue with how it is? Interesting. Alex|The|Whovian 11:12, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So you're editing in Wikipedia for long enough? Brilliant! Then you should be able to provide a Wikipedia policy or guideline which allows you to hide the Episode headline from the TOC. Any other thing is simply an attempt trying to push your preferred version unto an article. Consensus can be established via silence from other Editors, very true. Yet, at any time any editor, including IP editors, can appear and challenge that "silent" consensus via bold editing. And btw, you have not addressed my main & major concern, which is the fact that the episode headline is not only relocated "elsewhere", it no longer appears on the TOC. Lastly, your "I'm the big mighty Wikipedia-Editor, check me talk page archive" doesn't scare me. Thank you.

Policy? Sure! Quoting another user on the same topic: Per WP:PARAGRAPH, sections should contain prose. Per WP:PROPERSPLIT, you create a summary of what you're splitting. And again, do sign your posts. Not that hard, buddy. Alex|The|Whovian 11:17, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
