@NacreousPuma855 Please read the guideline WP:CITEONE " If the authoritative sources are not controversial, they should generally be preferred. For example, a company's own website is probably authoritative for an uncontroversial fact like where its headquarters is located, so newspaper articles need not be cited on that point." And WP:AMAZON "As a reliable source: check Sometimes. This website is usually used for past or upcoming media release dates." And the previous discussion here:Talk:Merlin (2008 TV series)#c-YodaYogaYogurt154-20240908152100-Newsjunkie-20240904032100 Note the comment : "the info is legitimate. word it in a way that is neutral." newsjunkie (talk) 17:30, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For the Thomas Land citation, I'm wondering if the reference is WP:QUESTIONABLE, or WP:SELFSOURCED, for Amazon, you might be right. Citations will be kept pending further input. NacreousPuma855 (talk) 17:55, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think the first one would be considered reliable per WP:ABOUTSELF newsjunkie (talk) 18:03, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@NacreousPuma855I don't think the Amazon discussion really applies to the first reference at all as it's an official website. I think that at least should be able to stay with the primary source tag that was added. (And ideally one could also wait a few days to see if there is any more input regarding both references before removing again) newsjunkie (talk) 22:38, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television#Official website/Amazon release info as Link/References at Thomas & Friends. NacreousPuma855 (talk) 22:40, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That conversation hasn't so far addressed the other link at all and adding the primary source tag for both links like the other user did would also seem to be a solution for now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Primary_sources newsjunkie (talk) 22:48, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Complete removal does not always have to be the only solution if the information is verified per WP:Preserve newsjunkie (talk) 23:10, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas & Friends 1983 Pilot

[edit]

The 1983 Down the Mine Pilot was Released on Youtube 9th May 2025 at 18:00 (BST) for the 80th anniversary of the Railway Series Book.

The pilot should be mentioned in the Early years and the series' success section Wycombefan (talk) 19:10, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking about rewriting most of the History section soon. If I do, I'll make sure to include it. As of now, it's perfectly fine in the Broadcast section in my opinion. SleepyRedHair (talk) 20:38, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Spoken article

[edit]

I want this to be a spoken article, please Percy James91 (talk) 21:12, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please elaborate. Do you mean as in there's a voice recording of someone reading the article at the bottom? SleepyRedHair (talk) 21:14, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Percy James91 (talk) 21:21, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes Percy James91 (talk) 21:23, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure? There's still a lot of problems regarding unsourced claims that need to be addressed. SleepyRedHair (talk) 21:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay Percy James91 (talk) 21:31, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
