The Newsroom

Hey, if you're really a Newsroom writer (and there's no way to prove that; furthermore Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy discourages editing articles you are closely associated with), I'd just like you to know that I removed some info you added ("Atlantis Media", etc) from the article because they are unpublished information as of now and should not be included in Wikipedia per verifiability policy. However, I do note that aspects of the show are not represented accurately by the news articles quoted in the article and have therefore tried to make the article as vague as possible until new published information arises.

Btw, UBS sounded a lot better than ACN. —Yk Yk Yk  talk ~ contrib 21:41, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Out of good faith, I understand if you wish to remove information about the fictional aspects and production information of the show that is not accurate. I'm just asking you not to add information that is not yet published. Thanks. —Yk Yk Yk  talk ~ contrib 22:26, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Take for example the anchor's name. You say it's Will McAvoy. Published sources who don't have the latest production info say it's Will McCallister. If you're a writer on the show, you have to be right. But (1) there's no way of proving you're a writer and (2) Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires information to be cited from published sources, which you can't at the moment because this is still insider information. So I propose for now we keep it as "anchor" or "Will". Same thing for the name of the fictional network. —Yk Yk Yk  talk ~ contrib 22:32, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

The Newsroom

We really wish the facts would win here. Is there a way to prove to you this is coming from the show's Writer's Room? And if so, will you allow the changes to be made?

It doesn't work that way in Wikipedia. No editor has enhanced status over another, and only published information is accepted.

I don't see what you mean by facts not winning. Not mentioning the anchor's and network's names do not make them wrong, it just leaves them ambiguous, which is all we can do now. Please go ahead and remove factual errors, but don't add information you cannot reference at the moment. —Yk Yk Yk  talk ~ contrib 23:01, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
