Hi there! You left a comment on my talk page about an edit I made to the page Hail to the Chimp. The change I made was adding Michael Salvatori as the composer for that video game. You mentioned that I didn't have a source and I wanted to follow up on that. I do have sources for this, but I'm not sure how to cite them. For one, the game's credits say that Michael Salvatori was the composer. I looked at your references for beginner's guide and couldn't immediately find a guideline for citing a piece of media's credits? In addition, Michael Salvatori also has this game listed on his website, but am I mistaken that using this as a source would be frowned upon because it's a primary source? Which of these should I use, and how should I do so? I understand the importance of providing sources and want to make sure I do it right. Thanks a ton.

-AtlyxMusic

@AtlyxMusic: - Template:Cite video game may be used to cite the credits of a game themselves - Youtube is a generally unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source per WP:VG/RS and WP:RSPYT however. Both the game and Michael Salvatori's website are primary sources - primary sources aren't entirely frowned upon, but it's bad when an article overly relies on them and sources too closely connected to the subject may not necessarily demonstrate that the info it's used to verify is notable enough to have on the article if secondary sources don't cover it. Citing the game's credits seems fine in this instance - I think the credits themselves would be better as citing the composer's website may appear as though it's promoting them.

Hi. I just added some game shows and tv series that were played by Mega Channel. And as a Greek person, I can assure you that all of them are real. Thank you and have a nice day! 01:26, 23 March 2025 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:85F:F826:BCE6:6173:9B14:F19C:E7F1 (talk)

There are no reliable sources for the other programs, so don't do anything more about Mega and ANT1, because you don't know anything, you are not even Greek to know them. I just added some programs that were/are real. Accept them and everything ok.

@2A02:85F:F826:BCE6:C1E5:47D6:4C04:EF1F: - Per WP:BURDEN, "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution." If no reliable sources discuss the content added, it is WP:OR and shouldn't be added to the article. Waxworker (talk) 14:30, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are the games themselves. The article for Mutant Night already mentions that both games were developed by Tsutomu Fuzisawa. In the image shown here simply compare the vines, the tree, and other points of reference. It is the same pixel art, simply modified to accommodate different hardware.

@About Mutant Knight: - Reliable sources that discuss this need to be cited for verification and to show that this is notable - the image may be a helpful visual aid accompanying sourced prose, but is not in itself a source. The games themselves are not a suitable source as a source needs to directly make the comparison - making the comparison yourself is WP:OR, due to "analysis or synthesis of published material that reaches or implies a conclusion not stated by the sources". WP:VG/RS has a helpful (non-exhaustive) list of reliable/unreliable sources related to video games that have been previously discussed by other editors. I've removed the content on the article discussing Atomic Robo-Kid as it's unsourced and doesn't appear notable. Waxworker (talk) 13:41, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Respectfully disagree with your verbiage and reasoning. One can literally see that the background pixel art (albeit with different colors) is the same and was created by the same developer. Yes, the game art is the source and its "author" was the developer. The developer has been dead since 1998 and is not going to provide a citation. About Mutant Knight (talk) 06:17, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Preventing an obvious, easily verified, and germane fact from being added to an entry should not be an editor's goal at Wikipedia. About Mutant Knight (talk) 06:22, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious. Is Waxworker uncertain that the background pixel art is the same and created by the same developer? About Mutant Knight (talk) 06:31, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@About Mutant Knight: - I do not think that this is a 'the sky is blue' matter. WP:PRIMARY states that "Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation" and that "Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so". WP:VERIFYOR says that "Wikipedia's content is determined by previously published information rather than by the personal beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it". Reliable sources that discuss this need to be cited - citing the games themselves is WP:OR.

Hi, Waxworker. I added the song “D.A.N.C.E.” by Justice to the list of songs for SingStar Dance that had a dance add-on that was downloadable because it was featured in a couple of promo trailers for the game that were released some months before the game’s release. I’m not sure why the source website cited for the other songs in the list didn’t include the song in any of said source’s entries. You can see the presence of the song as well as its actual in-game routine in the trailer below (fine print in the trailer even says the song is featured in the SingStore). I’m just not sure how to cite it, or even if it’s appropriate to, given that I could find no other proof of its existence.

@2600:8802:E07:1B00:41A9:983D:2483:B3D2: - Youtube is a generally unreliable source per WP:RSPYT and WP:VG/RS unless the channel itself is reliable - 'Playfront' doesn't seem to be a suitable source to me. Assuming the trailer is official, the trailer as uploaded by the official Youtube channel of the publisher or developer (so Sony Computer Entertainment or London Studio) would be suitable, or a reliable gaming news source that uploads trailers for new games such as IGN, Gamespot, or Gametrailers. I do see that it says "Featured track available on Singstore" for the song, but things can appear in trailers that aren't in the final game, so while a trailer uploaded by a reliable source would be fine, a source confirming that it is indeed available in the final game would be better. Also see Help:Referencing for beginners for help citing sources. Waxworker (talk) 15:53, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, please this is your final revert the edit of IP the 2023 in Philippine television, 2024 in Philippine television and Sing Galing (was ended on December 22, 2022) and the article moved from Draft:Appendix:Two-letter combinations and Draft talk:Appendix:Two-letter combinations to Appendix:Two-letter combinations and Talk:Appendix:Two-letter combinations 49.144.35.154 (talk) 22:37, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you watch the episode it's clearly Veronica Taylor voicing the Prince in the episode. Even though I sourced a fan wiki it doesn't make it less of a fact. Listen to it yourself if you have the knowledge. The episode is "Gently, Your Highness Patlabor: The TV Series: Episode 13"

Please reinstate my edit. 129.9.75.233 (talk) 04:33, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@129.9.75.233: - I was unable to readily find a copy of the episode to check the credits - per "Listen to it yourself if you have the knowledge", is this because she is uncredited in the episode and you're attributing the role based on the character's voice? If so, that seems like WP:OR. If she is in the credits, Template:Cite episode can be used, but a primary source isn't great and doesn't show that the role is necessarily notable. On BTVA (reliable per WP:RSPBTVA) she has a verified credit (as marked by a green checkmark) for Patlabor: The New Files, one verified credit and 3 unverified roles for Patlabor: The Mobile Police, and none for the 1989 Patlabor: The TV Series.

I think you made a mistake. Do you realize that the article on the former (the game) already referenced the former's info on MobyGames before and after my edits, while the latter (the publisher) cross-references the former which references the aforementioned MobyGames? DimaLeon2000 TALK CONTRIB 18:41, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DimaLeon2000: - Mobygames is an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source per WP:VG/RS, and WP:USERGENERATED also states that "In particular, a wikilink is not a reliable source". A wikilink to another article is not in itself a source. Waxworker (talk) 18:50, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Waxworker, since you revert the edit on List of programmes broadcast by Astro Ceria on February 1, 2025, you made these mistakes reverted on List of programmes broadcast by Astro Ceria,

1. TV Alhijrah is spelled like this "TV Alhijrah", not "TV AlHijraz".
2. Ultraman Decker actually aired on the channel.
3. Robocar Poli stopped aired when the original channel number 611 converted to HD, this was reaired back on 2023 when the channel rebranded (not from November 20, 2024).

I will revamp the page since most programs stopped airing on the channel, thank you. 2001:D08:D5:E3E1:2148:6F14:756:B329 (talk) 08:07, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@2001:D08:D5:E3E1:2148:6F14:756:B329: - I have now changed the wikilink that says 'TV AlHijraz' to 'TV Alhijrah' since it already links there.

Hey man, I understand that certain sites are not reliable or verifiable, but given that the game in question is not only extremely niche but also quite unknown to most gamers, it doesnt make sense to not cite sites with info regarding the game. Given that reviews on the game are only present on a handful of popular sites, it makes sense to link them all. Gamefaqs may not be considered ‘reliable’ for scientific articles, but it definitely can be included on Wikipedia which is crowdsourced. the gamefaqs link i added contained multiple reviews from real players, so are we supposed to look over the views of genuine players just because the site is the wikipedia equivalent for gaming? Since the original page was quite lacking in terms of info and quality, the edits were frankly very necessary. Please look into the pages for games like GTA/zelda/etc. which literally spell out the entire game, my edit simply glossed over the plot without giving most of the screenPlay. Don’t you think its necessary to include the entire list of characters and playable entities in the game? I mean if you want to simplify everything then don’t work on wikipedia. If people can’t include things such as plot, characters, controls, reviews and mechanics in the game’s wikipedia; then this site is absolutely worthless. Thanks for wasting my time as an editor, your time as a freeloader and future readers who would be extremely curious about the game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BowlChevyk517 (talk • contribs) 12:25, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Waxworker! I saw you reverted my contributions of Blood on the Clocktower characters on the List of fictional worms page. My source for considering the characters as worm-or-wyrm-like is their token art in combination with the name of the character. However, the only place I can find the token art online would either be on the BotC wiki, or in TPI's Twitch streams where they talk about new characters. Which of these would you consider as a better source for this topic? Cryptikk (talk) 20:02, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cryptikk: - Wikis are an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source, and art from the game/Twitch streams from the creators of the game are primary sources that don't necessarily show that this is notable. I recommend looking over MOS:MISCELLANY, which states "Avoid collections of miscellaneous facts or examples, since Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information" - not every fictional worm should be listed if reliable secondary sources don't discuss them. The target article of Blood on the Clocktower also doesn't mention the listed examples. Waxworker (talk) 11:38, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I finally found a source about Pete Browngadt's influences. He cited Gary Larson, Don Martin, Harvey Kurtzman, Robert Crumb and Tex Avery.

I have a humble edit request for John Kricfalusi. On the influences side, some are not even graphic or animation influences, so there have to changes it.

His main influence is Bob Clampett, and he also names Chuck Jones, Frank Sinatra, Kirk Douglas, Milt Gross, Tex Avery, Peter Lorre, The Three Stooges, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, Don Martin and Robert Ryan. Some are not animators or cartoons. We should remove Frank Sinatra, Kirk Douglas, Peter Lorre, The Three Stooges, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, and Robert Ryan. It should say:

@50.91.26.176: - Edit requests should be made on the talk page for the article, and I don't think I've edited that article and I'm not particularly interested in its subject.

Hi. Just curious: what's the use of adding archive URL and archive date for piles of websites which are still live and working, so just fine, thank you very much? Isn't it just clogging the pages? Why not just concentrate on those marked as dead links and only intervene when they are marked? Or write a code which discovers by itself which ones are dead before an editor stumbles over them? Do you wish to profilactically make rot-safe EVERY web address on Wiki? I guess there must be a reason for it. Thank you. Arminden (talk) 02:14, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Arminden: - I think that archive links are important futureproofing - web pages are rather ephemeral and websites may shut down or the content of a page may be changed at any time. Archive links are also helpful for source accessibility for individuals living in regions blocked by the website - a decent chunk of American websites block European IPs from viewing the site rather than deal with GDPR regulations. Waxworker (talk) 12:22, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see, thank you. Definitely a good cause in this case.

Any chance it could be done in a way that doesn't clog the page? I mean some automatism, smart coding, maybe IA, because now it makes editing much more difficult. On the phone you can't follow the text, it's buried under tonnes of technical info. I don't know anything about actual coding, I've learned about logical schemata and stopped there, but to me this looks like THE typical problem for a bot to solve.

Thanks again and keep up the good work. Arminden (talk) 15:45, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Arminden: - I don't edit Wikipedia on mobile so I'm unsure what the issue you're describing is - do you mean that the citations take up too much text due to the added archive info so it's hard to see the actual prose of the article? Waxworker (talk) 13:51, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, exactly. Try for instance to read a sentence if such huge refs are added both in the middle and at the end. Arminden (talk) 17:52, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Arminden: - I'm not sure that there is a way to add archive links without this issue - list-defined references (WP:LDR) and having all the actual ref info at the bottom of the article would help, but per WP:CITEVAR citation styles shouldn't be broadly changed by something like IAbot and would need to be discussed on a per-case basis. Editing using the Wikipedia:VisualEditor would also mitigate this issue, but I personally find the visual editor limited and unintuitive. Waxworker (talk) 14:01, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@2001:EE0:4F84:EEA0:C1FA:594:A33:629D: - Instagram isn't a great source - see WP:RSPINSTAGRAM, but an official announcement saying the the channel is shut down would be fine per WP:ABOUTSELF. The linked Instagram posts don't seem to explicitly say that the channels are defunct - omitting mention of them isn't the same as explicitly saying they're shut down, and seems like WP:OR. 'Kingofsat' doesn't appear to be a reliable source to me and it hasn't previously been discussed at WP:RSN. Waxworker (talk) 13:42, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Of course they doesn't say that the channels are defunct,they want suddenly went off air without noticing,they just make an promos silently without telling something like other channel Nickelodeon (Pakistani TV channel) and this is not first time before,they did shut down other without noticing long ago like FX,Fox Crime and Fox Family movies,it's so sad nobody know that shutdown is real unless some proof like video.This make an harder to reliable or trust them.Also i watched these channels in my eye now,until these channels shut down but i don't know how to tell you trust this or not because this is wikipedia.What a waste time. 2001:EE0:4F84:EEA0:BC3E:4624:6E63:392D (talk) 20:46, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TommyJayey: - A secondary source would be better (such as a review of the audiobook in a reliable source discussing her role), but citing the credits of the audiobook itself with Template:Cite book would be fine. Linking the Youtube video would be inappropriate as it appears to be a copyright violation - see WP:COPYLINK and WP:RSPYT. Waxworker (talk) 14:04, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I wanted to let you know that I have declined your G1 speedy deletion nomination of Draft:List of the channels in 7,14,19 floor in India because the draft does not consist entirely of incoherent text or gibberish.

if you clearly look at IMDb, Dubbing Wikia or even Behind The Voice Actors, they clearly state Christopher Sabbat being the English voice actor for Eibon in Soul Eater.

Hey so I get a message that you remove all of my work on the Choro Q Wonderful! page because of the sources I used. To be fair the sources aren't super reliable with them being fandom based, but the game is a pretty niche Japanese exclusive 1999 Playstation 1 game and there is very little English content to work with. I'm editing for a class and I did put in a decent amount of effort to get the information as right as I could. I think its fine that you want Wikipedia to be more reliable but completely removing someone efforts completely is extremely rude and upsetting. I'm not trying to lie with what I added, I simply put what I could physical get through English sources. Maybe instead of outright removing peoples work you just flag for a source check or even give the person some better source. I only chose to work on this article because it looked fun to work on but because of your removal of my efforts I'm most likely going to have to find something else to work on. I'm just really flustered right now and just felt like this was a very rude way to be woken up. Jackson Hirshberg (talk) 15:27, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To Waxworker.

I saw you mention me in my notifications.

The fact you brazenly accsued me and my good friend 173.242.104.90 of being sockpuppet account for "LooneyTunesMan" sinply for a few surface level similarities as addressing people as "Mr." or "Ms." (which is just there to be polite), edit similar pages, and the fact I use well-known George W. Bush quote "Now watch this drive" on my page is frankly absurd.

173.242.104.90, as I just said, is a good friend of mine and his most recent editing on the 2nd, I was visiting him and consulted him on a few of his edits. I even edited a few of his mistakes on my own account. Also, the fact you remove a piece of information found on the very trustworthy source Behind the Voice Actors sinply because it doesn't have a green checkmark to verify it is one of the lamest things I ever heard. As far as I know, there is no rules on this site that says there must be a green check mark on BTVA to approve it. If that is the case, nothing would get done.

I'm usually quite laid-back and chill, but there comes a time where it will not work and obe must become straightforward. This is, quite frankly, heavyhanded authoritianism that prevents people from joining Wikipedia in the first place. Johnny Benjamin Goode (talk) 19:57, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

..as based on Pole Position. My statement claimed that it is played in a booth with a steering wheel. Yours was that this is unsourced. I knew it wasn't "unsourced". Research here is very easy, I'll link you an image from Wikipedia itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_Position#/media/File:Pole_Position_in_Computerspielemuseum,_Berlin.jpg So either, it's all sourced, or that image needs to be adjusted or removed.

Please note the message at {{WikiProject Disambiguation}} which says, in a highlighted box, "Please do not use this template solely to create talk pages that otherwise have no content", and stop creating pages like Talk:A Force to be Reckoned With and Talk:A Pennine Journey.

A talk page which only includes that Wikiproject banner is unnecessary, as the Wikiproject knows about the page from its categorisation. It is positively unhelpful, in that a conscientious editor going to edit the page, who sees that there is a talk page, will waste time by going to the talk page to check whether there is any relevant discussion (eg the item they were planning to add had been discussed and rejected previously).

Please stop creating talk pages for disambiguation pages. Thanks. PamD 19:37, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And please nominate them all for speedy deletion, G7, "creator requests deletion". I tried G6 "created in error" but the admin who responded suggested that as a better route.

@PamD: - Thank you for bringing this to my attention - I was unaware that the template for WikiProject Disambiguation discouraged this and that there was consensus against making talk pages in this manner. Looking at the responding admin's reply I somewhat agree with Pppery's assessment that they "weren't worth creating but also aren't worth deleting", as I am concerned with flooding Category:Candidates for speedy deletion and whether the admins patrolling it concur that they needn't be deleted.

"On Stephen Hillenburg - Lambiek Comiclopedia, It did not mention George Dunning, Richard Condie, Mike Kelley and even Nico Crama.

This is from his Wikipedia's article. Stephen Hillenburg - Wikipedia. Check out both link.

"Hillenburg's graphic influences were George Herriman, E. C. Segar, Bill Watterson, Dr. Seuss, Max Fleischer, Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Jay Ward, Jules Engel, Matt Groening, Joe Murray and John Kricfalusi; the latter was inspired to have many close-up shots in several SpongeBob episodes to have grotesque and extremely detailed drawings. He had also cited Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy, The Three Stooges, W.C. Fields, Jerry Lewis, Jacques Cousteau, Jim Henson's The Muppets and Paul Reubens' Pee-wee Herman for his comedic influences"[26] This is to prove it show how your revert of my edits was wrong because most are famous yet when you look on his Lambiek Comiclopedia's article, it did not mention Heinz Edelmann and painter Mike Kelley on his Wikipedia page at all."

Hey Waxworker, the name's Joseph, but you can call me JDawg. I'm a new user here. Today, I'm confused.

So, yesterday, I edited the page for Oliver Stone's JFK film from 1991, namely to fix the Academy Awards nominations it got (after the last guy who edited it said it was nominated for Best Actor for Kevin Costner when it was actually nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Tommy Lee Jones) and to rework the home media release of the film's Director's Cut to make it flow better.

This morning, I check in and see my edits had been reverted. I checked the page's history and saw you reverted it on the grounds on "reverting sockpuppet edits".

Who is the sockpuppet you're referring to, cause it's certainly not me. Was it the guy that edited the page before me, and if so, who is the guy controlling the sockpuppet? JDawgLegoEnjoyerMan (talk) 12:17, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree.

I've heard about this sockpuppet guy named "Looney Tunes Man". To me, he's probably just a kid who doesn't know any better.

However, for a lot of his edits, Wax here reverts the whole thing, claiming "reverted addition of unsourced content" or some other shit like that. When he uses Behind the Voice Actors, he removes it because it doesn't have a green checkmark to "verify" it.

I looked at those edits and most of it is sourced. It's only a couple bits of it that are unsourced.

Why not does remove the unsourced parts and specify what was not kosher plus what it was. He doesn't have to revert the whole edit, especially after people have edited the page after the edit was made. Reverting the whole thing is like throwing out a whole batch of fruit because a couple pieces have mold on them.

Now, this applies to anyone, not just LTM.

I suspect that you're the "Looney Tunes Man" that you're talking about, specifically because you're moaning about your edits being reverted in whole and not in part ("Why not does remove the unsourced parts and specify what was not kosher plus what it was. He doesn't have to revert the whole edit, especially after people have edited the page after the edit was made.

• "Then, you started reverting and undoing most of, if not all, my edits, not just bits you disagreed with and then explaiend why, just the whole edits (even after someone else had edited) and no explanation beyond "reverted addition of unsourced content" without even explaining what part was unsourced or the occasional "BTVA os not verified by a green checkmark". I was just so angry about that."
• "Now, here's an idea that'll probably blow your mind, but maybe just delete the parts you don't like or agree with and not just undo the entire edit."

@Supermanfan1979: - An IMDB external link at the bottom of the page is fine, using it as a source is not. IMDB being cited on the article is an issue and adding more content sourced to IMDB would only exacerbate this - reliable sources are necessary for verification. Waxworker (talk) 11:09, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is what I am saying. IMDb is used as a source 7 times in the article, not just as an external link at the bottom. There are 3 separate IMDb sources that are used a total of 7 times. It is citing awards, her projects, and even her birthday. I'm not trying to change anything in the body of the article, which is information that could be subjective. I am just adding to her list of film credits. Will I have to find articles online that reference each of her film projects? Supermanfan1979 (talk) 15:12, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Supermanfan1979: - IMDB is similarly an unreliable source for film credits - as I said before, content already being sourced to IMDB on the article is an issue, and a bad example to follow. Reliable sources discussing her involvement in projects would be more appropriate. Waxworker (talk) 11:40, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The edit on Naoki Bando, isn't really just for fun, but it is meant to use as notice, for those who haven't heard nor seen it.

To let you know, the anime was never shared worldwide before, it was only viewed by Japanese only. You won't be able to find more information, if you didn't Google search the title in kanji, but you will find prepared info written in Lost Media Wiki, so you can copy and paste kanji on search. Everyone needs to know why this anime was never recognized in any anime database community.

So far, only Yuki Masuda had that info in Wikipedia, but the rest of the casts, still haven't updated with that title. Info94567 (talk) 11:36, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've done everything to prove that Emily Kapnek is, in fact, behind the story and script for The Pink Panther: Passport to Peril, as she is also credited as this in the article for The Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink.

That's not what I meant. I'm not trying to cite another Wikipedia article as a source. I'm trying to ask why she doesn't need a source in Hokus Pokus Pink and why she does in Passport to Peril.

For the last time, I need a straight answer: why do you keep reverting my edits and frantically demanding sources on The Pink Panther: Passport to Peril but let us all do whatever on The Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink, even when we don't include sources?

Your June 7 revert was completely unnecessary. For one, The Orville is NOT animation according to her filmography, and the article needed update. Also, her Twitter was deactivated.

You have taken it upon yourself to eliminate useful information on the basis that it is not sourced to your satisfaction. I have found a published book to source the character in The Carabineers and have thus reverted your pointless reversion, with the reference you so desire, but I do not have the time and energy to do the same for all the others, so the Gruault article will remain incomplete. (I might also note that vanishingly few character lists for movies have references; why don't you delete them all?) I see from the above entries on your talk page that you spend a lot of your time removing information and making Wikipedia a less useful place; I trust that makes you happy.

@217.155.227.216: - The onus is on the editor adding content to source it per WP:BURDEN - my opinion of "If an article on Wikipedia is bad, the solution is to improve, not delete" is referring to articles themselves, not content within them. For example, if an article for a subject is a one sentence stub but sources are found demonstrating notability (even if info within them hasn't been used to flesh out the article), keeping the stub is better, because for many making a whole new article is daunting and a brief article is better than none in that regard if the subject is notable.

The filmography section of the page for actress Artemis Pebdani is mostly not cited - just curious why the very small edit I made was removed while out of the nearly forty television entries, only three have external citations. I’ll add a citation to a Collider article to* “prove” the addition I made, but this is incredibly easy information to verify without a citation, as are most of her other credits.

Hi. Please stop blocking me, my friend. And stop removing "unsourced or poorly sourced material" from various Wikipedia articles on me. There is a reason why this important material is there to stay on Wikipedia in the various articles, such as Lynn Redgrave, Jodi Benson, MC Skat Kat, The Enchanted World, and others. You see, I'm trying to readd different editions of all of the works Binette Schroeder did, including the original German editions, as published in Germany, as well as all of the illustrators that did The Cow Book, and not just Binette Schroeder. If you look closely at the endpaper illustrations of the The Cow Book within the photos of the said book on Ebay when you type down "The Cow Book Marc Gallant" in the search box within the said website, and then hit search, you can see that Marc Gallant, who wrote the said book, also provided the endpaper illustrations of the "Ice Cream Cone Patterns" at both the beginning and the end of the book. As for Iring Fetscher and the other articles about various German authors, I'm trying to readd all of the German authors that worked on the Update on Rumpelstiltskin and other Fairy Tales by 43 Authors, which is compiled by Hans-Joachim Gelberg, illustrated by Willi Glasauer, and published by Beltz & Gelberg. And another thing. I'm trying to readd the name of the butterfly character within the MC Skat Kat article, namely Tibi the Take it Back Butterfly, as well as relink the name of the yak character voiced by Dr. John, Yakety Yak. And that goes for other links to other articles that are yet to be created, including Scout LaRue Willis, David Kasday, Max Bolliger, Mark Hess, Robert G. Giusti and/or Robert Giusti, Michael Patterson, Why Christmas Trees Aren't Perfect, Meet Your Animal Friends, Once Upon a Dinosaur, Dragons of Darkness, and lots of others. I'm even trying to restore information about Cameron Diaz's death in 2015 back into the Cameron Diaz article, and readd George Clooney and Katy Perry back into the Annie article, since Clooney and Perry made cameo appearances in that film. And on top of everything else, I'm trying to readd some films some celebrities appeared in into their articles, such as Lynn Redgrave providing narration in the 1983 film Meet Your Animal Friends, and Jodi Benson provided the voice of the princess character in Why Christmas Trees Aren't Perfect, Princess Arabella. I am also trying to restore the List of Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger characters article just by readding the Zyu2 Monsters, a group of animal-themed and plant-themed villains/monsters being a group of special Dora Monsters that appeared in Zyu2, among all of the other list of characters articles. And not to mention readding Catherine O'Hara and William Hickey back into the Robots article, and the characters they voiced, notably the Sally voice box and the Dr. Finkelstein voice box within Jack Hammer's Hardware Store, and not just James Earl Jones's Mufasa voice box character, as well as putting a few changes to the Looney Tunes: Back in Action article just by replacing three male actors, two of which voiced two popular cartoon characters, with Paula Abdul and several voice actors and voice actresses, and all of the cartoon characters they voiced, as they are first created in the 1980's and the 1990's, including those of Animaniacs, Yakety Yak, Take it Back, Opposites Attract, Batman: The Animated Series, Taz-Mania, Cats Don't Dance, Quest for Camelot, and Tiny Toon Adventures. I am also even trying to readd all of the artists that did the Time Life book series The Enchanted World within the The Enchanted World article, starting with the first installment, The Enchanted World: Wizards and Witches. Sooner or later, I will restore all of the said material back into the said various articles. Please do think about it and then decide to let me restore what you, Binksternet, or some other user removed. Please do grant me my request. Okay? You got that? Thank you. 50.205.182.253 (talk) 20:56, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But if i can't find another admin then I will just delete my account and never come back again.

Hi, I was the person who added an unsourced mention of the golden pot achievement in "Getting Over It." As I said in the edit, this refers to how Diogenes' pot gradually attains shades of gold over 50 attempts. I failed to find any mention of this from a reliable source, due to this information's relative obscurity, but it does verifiably exist, as is observable within the game itself. Is it possible to just cite the game directly, or should I defer to your removal for want of a proper source? This link leads to an Imgur post of a partial transformation, which I add to reinforce this concept's existence, not as a potential source. [1] TheTwig001 (talk) 20:15, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TheTwig001: - Per MOS:VGGAMEPLAY, gameplay sections should be written "for a general audience. Assume that the reader has heard of a video game but has never played one. Introduce the game in terms of the player's actions and goals" - if the pot turning gold is an obscure part of the game not important to gameplay and reliable secondary sources don't discuss it, I don't think it should be on the article, even if a primary source such as a manual mentions it. Template:Cite video game may be used to cite a game itself, but I don't think that would be apt given my concern regarding its lack of coverage and impact.

@Sanriogirly04: - If she is credited, Template:Cite episode may be used to cite an episode her role appears in, but a reliable secondary source (e.g. a review of the show discussing her role) would be a better source. Waxworker (talk) 14:06, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please warn 109.155.46.247 for the disruptive editing for removing content, Because he removed some shows on the article, List of programmes broadcast by Nick Jr. (British and Irish TV channel), And now I reverted it.

@2A02:C7C:C826:3A00:7510:7910:D4DD:39AB: - The edits in question were on the 21st - the edits are too stale to warn them now, and I see that you have already warned them. Going straight to a level 3 warning should only be for egregious edits - generally the editor should be warned with less strongly worded warnings (like a level 1) first to more gently inform them of issues with their edits. Waxworker (talk) 11:08, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Waxworker. I'm making this post due to your reverts of my edits for the Sega Rally 3 page. The reason why they were removed, in your own words, were due to "not providing a reliable source". What i'm stumped on are the parts that required sourcing in the first place.

I know that doesn't necessarily come off as the easiest thing to explain, but the majority of the changes I brought up related to content within the game that wouldn't require additional sourcing, and if it did, finding what to use as a source for some of the oddly specific points i brought up would be a pain in the ass.

Even if i knew what sources I had to use, the thing that's really perplexing me is that i don't know how many sources i actually have to provide for two reasons. A: It's not explained to me where i need to put any of the sources. B: The page i was editing already had almost no sources before this.

So, instead of telling me what i needed to provide sources for, you just tell me that the entire page is "poorly sourced" while reverting it to an earlier version that was already as "poorly sourced" as what i had just written? Yep, makes a whole lot of sense.

I still do think we can make something work if you were to show me what i needed to provide sources for, just don't be so transparent next time, it's really demoralising. CHAL Gaming (talk) 03:53, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CHAL Gaming: - In-line citations after each claim would make clear where the information may be verified - there already being unsourced content on the article is an issue and not an example that ought to be followed; adding more unsourced content exacerbates the issue. Please see WP:BURDEN, which states that "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution". Help:Referencing for beginners has guidance related to citing sources that may be helpful. WP:VG/RS has a (non-exhaustive) list of reliable/unreliable sources related to video games that have previously been discussed by other editors, and there may be magazine coverage on Archive.org. Waxworker (talk) 11:17, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Waxworker! You undid my changes to the Aneurysm article without an explanation earlier, how come? Did I miss something or do something wrong in my edit? I went through all references in the article and fixed up all citations. I did also rephrase some paragraphs to make them sound less like promotional material, though. I’m less sure about that part of my edit, did I miss something there? Gurkubondinn (talk) 18:12, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gurkubondinn: - I was reverting this disruptive edit from an IP (likely related to this ANI thread,"IP word vandalism") - a lot of IPs were rapidly randomly changing words in articles, largely to close synonyms that change the meaning of the content/break infobox parameters (e.g. in the linked edit changing an album being "released" to "free" and the name of an album titled "Aware" to "Mindful") - I've restored your edit while manually reverting the IP disruption. Waxworker (talk) 18:27, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Grand, thank you -- that explains it. I struggled with that sentence about the album having been "free", it felt like a strange sentence and I didn't see anything in the references to back that up (but neither to dispute it). Didn't catch that it was from a recent dispruptive edit. Thanks for the help! Thought for sure I'd missed something.. :)

And thanks for another thing, I just learned about Template:Ping. Gurkubondinn (talk) 18:33, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Waxworker: Thanks for pointing me to the ANI thread, what a bizarre set of changes to make.. It's like if someone set an LLM loose on Wikipedia, but somehow also making it translate something or input instructions in a different langauge, and was trying to target low-key articles for some reason. Bizarre.

I think that I unknowingly found more of these edits earlier today, as I was working through the articles in articles in Category:Pages using Template:Infobox musical artist with unknown parameters and fixing them (all single small edits from an IP, changing/translating parameters in infoboxes; [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]).

Hi,

Thank you for your change on the Tigger's Honey Hunt page. I wasn't aware that GameFAQs wasn't a good source for release dates.

Do you happen to know any reputable sources for video game release dates? I've been struggling to find them for this game. If you don't know no worries at all, just thought I'd ask!

Thanks, IngeniousPachyderm (talk) 16:49, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IngeniousPachyderm: - Nothing in particular springs to mind as to a consistent reliable source explicitly for release dates other than magazines often having a long list of upcoming releases for X month. Press releases/official website refs are fine, though secondary sourcing is better - WP:VG/RS has some guidance regarding otherwise reliable sources that have issues with release dates in their database sections as opposed to articles, with IGN giving the misleading release date of December 31 if they don't actually have a release date on file, and GameSpot and Metacritic source their release dates from GameFAQs. Waxworker (talk) 23:20, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for providing that info. Is it safe to assume that IGN's database release dates are accurate if they aren't listed as "December 31", as in the below 2 examples?

Example 1

Example 2 IngeniousPachyderm (talk) 18:22, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IngeniousPachyderm: - I think it would be good to have another source corroborating the dates if possible, but using IGN's database dates seems fine. Waxworker (talk) 12:13, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was the one who added the recent edits to the page on Roswell Conspiracies without citing my sources. My cited sources would have to be the episodes themselves, but I can't link to unauthorized videos, per the rules, and I doubt there’s a trusted fansite dedicated to scanned scripts of episodes. I could mention specific episodes within the text, but it could become redundant with how most of the characters only appear in one or two episodes. My edits were meant to add details to broad descriptions, as well as some clarification and corrections. I admit that my edit could be more concise, and probably also corrected further, and I also understand if they were excessively detailed, especially for such an obscure show. 2600:6C46:6100:2540:D002:DDF7:E895:549F (talk) 18:37, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@2600:6C46:6100:2540:D002:DDF7:E895:549F: - The lists of characters are already excessively long, alongside the issue of being unsourced - I don't know enough about the show to be able to trim it, but another editor may trim it or WP:TNT the section entirely due to these concerns. Ideally secondary reliable sources should be cited, but primary sources such as the episodes themselves may be cited using Template:Cite episode (without linking to copyright violations) - though the info added should be explicitly stated or shown in the source cited rather than garnered through an editor's interpretation, which is WP:OR.

Possibly I forgot to add, in my headline, that I’ve seen / watched all 13 episodes, which is one way I was aware. It doesn’t even, for reasons unknown, say what I submitted in - what you might have heard of - an ‘AI overview’. Thoughtcametome (talk) 15:36, 15 August 2025 (UTC) Thoughtcametome[reply]

@Thoughtcametome: - Personal experience watching the show is WP:OR and unreliable. Reliable sources would need to discuss that there is no character that appears in every episode to show that this is notable - this seems like trivia to me. Help:Referencing for beginners has some guidance regarding citing sources that may be helpful. I'm unsure what you're referring to regarding an "AI overview". Waxworker (talk) 16:30, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An ‘AI overview’ is doing a search, on Google, like exactly what I added, and getting the answer I was expecting. There isn’t a trivia section, on the Junglies article, where I could have added this. This is one of my favourite shows, and I’ve three favourite characters, and you might know how, in the Filmation MOTU cartoon, He-Man is the only character to appear in all 130 episodes, and, respectively, in the ThunderCats cartoon, Lion-O is the only character to appear in all 130 episodes, whereas other TV shows don’t be as consistent as this, where ‘not one single character appears in every single episode’.

i forgot to mention that the looney tunes fandom on fandom.com thinks that Little Red Riding Rabbit is a 1943 short due to the short's Early release in 1943 that's why I edit the wikipedia page for the short cause I wanted it to be similar to the one on the looney tunes fandom WindowsGGFromYouTube (talk) 11:25, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@WindowsGGFromYouTube: - Fandom wikis are an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source per WP:FANDOM. Waxworker (talk) 11:26, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i even tried to edit the release date then some people put it back to 1943

then I tried talking it out when someone named Low Spark of Lyman talked to me in the talk page saying: Evidence has been found of the cartoon being shown as early as December 1943.

I tried telling him again along with editing the date but then

he said: First, you don't need to shout (i.e. writing in all-caps). Second, you are not part of staff here, so you don't have much standing for that imperative tone. Third, you are still omitting a signature for your posts.

If you keep edit warring on that article, especially with that kind of behavior, you may be blocked from editing it without further notice.

and that's why I edited the wikipedia page for Little Red Riding Rabbit

also they got that 1943 release date from some blogger page claiming the short was released that time WindowsGGFromYouTube (talk) 22:30, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@WindowsGGFromYouTube: - I assume you're talking about the Fandom wiki article - edits to other wikis and their talk pages aren't relevant to the Wikipedia article. Date changes should be sourced to a WP:RS. Waxworker (talk) 14:12, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I received your message about needing to cite reliable sources on my changes. My changes outline ongoing developments to the game, which I am personally implementing. Public announcements have been made on social media and a new website, the latter of which was linked among my changes.

I will provide whatever further evidence I can provide as a reliable source, but I do not know what would qualify. Must I wait until the Steam page for the new version of the game is active, and then link that? It will happen next week, so I can reapply these edits at that point.

I appreciate any guidance. Wespaugh (talk) 12:49, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Wespaugh: - Editing articles about subjects in which you are personally involved is discouraged per WP:COI - WP:COIEDIT has guidance regarding editing with a conflict of interest. Social media generally isn't a great source as it is WP:USERGENERATED, but may be fine from an 'official' account connected to the subject, though secondary reliable sourcing would be better - WP:VG/RS has a (non-exhaustive) list of reliable/unreliable sources related to video games that have previously been discussed by other editors. In-line citations should be used to clarify where information added is sourced from - Help:Referencing for beginners has guidance regarding citing sources that may be helpful. The official website may also be fine as a source, though should be formatted as a citation rather than a bare url - the site also doesn't confirm the added estimated release date of "March, 2026", the website linked doesn't specify a month, only saying "Spring of 2026". A Steam listing would also be fine as a source, though as a citation and not an external link at the bottom of the page - storefront external links are discouraged per MOS:VGEL. Storefronts such as Steam are also not a platform, and should not be listed in the infobox per MOS:VGPLATFORMS. Waxworker (talk) 15:07, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Thoughtcametome: - WP:RSP has a (non-exhaustive) list of reliable/unreliable sources that have previously been discussed by other editors that may be helpful to consult, but what characters are/aren't in very episode doesn't seem notable to me and I don't think that reliable sources will have discussed this. Trivia sections are also discouraged per WP:TRIVIA. Waxworker (talk) 14:17, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did say, articles (even if not exactly Wikipedia) usually do point out if there’s a character who appears in every single episode, or not (eg. He-Man being the only character to appear in all 130 episodes of the 80s MOTU cartoon, and, respectively, Lion-o being the only character to appear in all 130 episodes of the 80s ThunderCats cartoon). Unlike those two shows, there isn’t a Junglies fandom, that, unlike Wikipedia, might allow that information to be added. Thoughtcametome (talk) 20:35, 22 August 2025 (UTC) Thoughtcametome[reply]

You're constantly reverting edits made to Ramsey Ann Naito's page, when I made the edit that she was an executive producer for The Loud House Movie. In the credits of the official film itself, she is listed, clear view, as an executive producer with the series' showrunner Michael Rubiner. It's not even false information - she is legitimately in the credits as an executive producer. I don't know what else to tell you, but to stop trying to cause an editing conflict.

Hello, Waxworker. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with an IP address or CIDR range.

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar.

I have something to say about LegoCityDude61892, whose talk page you recently posted on. Since May 2021 (he has a second account: LegoCityDude92), I've been in mostly silent but tedious disagreement with this stubborn user who won't stop editing the pages of voice actors Michael and Paul Dobson, and removing information I added myself with the proper citations. He won't stop insisting that Paul is older than Michael when our best sources say otherwise (I used interviews with the actors themselves as my sources). Not only does he reject the actors' own words, but he also insists that the flawed Dubbing Wiki (and other related wikis) is reliable, despite he himself utterly dismissing IMDb.

I'm tired of correcting his constant disruptive edits. Could you please help me revert when he edits the pages again and I'm not around? Thank you.
