Hi why the change made to BaiLu Wikipedia are getting reverted back , those are not non reliable, those are true achievements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loki1202 ( talk • contribs) 04:34, 17 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I didn't pull the role from somewhere online, I took it from the episode credits directly.

@ HarmonyBunny00: - The date for the source is incorrect, the article appears to say 'December 5, 2001' at the top, and the bottom of the article has a copyright date of 2001. 'Archive-date' is correct in that it is the date it was archived on Archive.org, but 'date' should be the date the source was published. 'ITMEDIA' should also be in the 'website=' section.

@ HarlambiDaabrev: - Every entry added needs a source - not all of the entries you added are sourced, and the 'fiskersiden.no' ref is a forum post, which is an unreliable source per WP:USERGENERATED. 'norwegianlanguagelearning.no' appears similarly unreliable and is a blog tied to a Discord server, see WP:BLOGS. 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".

Hello, you removed a film that I added to the filmography of the British actor John Neville and left this message on my page: //Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, John Neville (actor), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Waxworker (talk) 06:39, 11 January 2024//

If you notice, none of the films and programs in Mr. Neville's filmography are cited with any source at all. Most of them are cross-referenced to articles on the individual films but not all of them. Perhaps I should remove the other films from the filmography and post a message on the talk page for John Neville that they all need to be provided with a reliable source? Please advise.

Since you seem to have an interest in this actor, you would probably like the film that I added to the filmography, since his John Milton was a really fine performance and you should see it if you can. Pascalulu88 ( talk) 19:38, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Vajzë Blu: - The AV Club is a reliable source per WP:RSP. None of the other sources have previously been discussed at WP:RSN, which doesn't nescessarily mean they're unreliable, but the other sources seem questionable to me. 'vanlifewanderer' doesn't list an 'about us', I can't find any mention of the website or 'StomachPunch Media' in reliable sources, and every article on the site appears to be written by the same person - it doesn't seem reliable at all. 'Ned Hardy' does have an 'about us' page and a fact-checking policy page, but I can't find the site mentioned in reliable sources and articles on the site read as churnalism to me. 'TV Obsessive' does have an about us and lists a staff team, but it hasn't been mentioned in reliable sources, and the linked article cited Wikipedia itself. The AV Club ref is the only source there I'd consider reliable. Waxworker ( talk) 12:10, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply

@ SpyderSoup: - This appears to be a tweet from a fan, which is unreliable. Confirmation from gaming news sites or a tweet from the voice actors themselves or Ubisoft would be suitable. Waxworker ( talk) 13:03, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Fair enough. Well, here's an article talking about the game which does state the voice actors coming back to play as the assassins. https://mobilesyrup.com/2023/10/17/assassins-creed-nexus-meta-quest-vr-preview/ SpyderSoup ( talk) 13:06, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply

@ SpyderSoup: - 'Mobilesyrup' doesn't seem like a great source to me, it's previously been discussed at WP:RSN with the discussion here appearing to me to lean towards 'unclear reliability/unreliable'. I'm unable to view the retweets on the linked Tweet as I lack a Twitter, but I'm unsure if the voice actors just retweeting it makes the tweet a reliable source for the information. Waxworker ( talk) 13:19, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply

@ SpyderSoup: - Template:Cite video game can be used to cite the game itself, but in practice I've only seen this used on the Wikipedia articles for the games themselves and doesn't seem like a great source for a biography, where sourcing is more stringent. A screenshot of the credits wouldn't be reliable, as it would be WP:USERGENERATED. Waxworker ( talk) 13:37, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I'd thought I told you to stop stalking me, all I was doing is putting edit back tge way they were because they were vandalized by another user.

You reverted my additions on a TV drama show in which the two actors starred together in 2024, because I didn't include a reference. The drama can be streamed on Viki.com right now. I learned that the website "mydramalist.com" is blacklisted and not considered a reliable reference. How about "Viki.com" itself? Would, e.g., a link to [ [1]] be permissible?

Hello. Please forgive my terrible English first.

I am aware that Wikipedia has very strict policies regarding the description of living people, but I think it's not as strict for deceased individuals.

Do you still believe that you absolutely need a reliable source?

And...

I will give the example of Mori Terumoto.

(a) Mōri Motonari left a testament saying, "There is no need for further territorial expansion. We must not get entangled in central conflicts". However, conflict with Oda Nobunaga, who sought to expand his dominion, began, within three years after Motonari's death.

(b) Before death, Mori Motonari had declared himself no friend to Nobunaga, and the young Terumoto openly challenged Nobunaga. It happened that the Môri were to be drawn into war over the Ishiyama Hongan-ji War, a religious stronghold in Settsu, Nobunaga had been besieging since 1570.

Why did you decide that 'a' is bad and 'b' is good when there are no sources for either? I think both need to be removed for it to make sense. -- 101.110.55.14 ( talk) 05:27, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Jayen466: - Per WP:BURDEN, the onus is on the editor adding content to provide a source verifying it. Adding sources in edit summaries rather than adding a ref also isn't great as that can get easily buried in the edit history, making it harder for people to verify in the future. Waxworker ( talk) 13:18, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply

See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Actors_and_Filmmakers#Filmography_tables. Refs in Filmography tables are optional – they are only required where participation in a film is difficult to confirm (e.g. because there are no English online sources). Andreas JN 466 13:30, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply

A Wikipedia article may include a subject's cultural impact by summarizing its coverage in reliable secondary or tertiary sources", and must "cover the subject's cultural impact in some depth; it should not be a source that merely mentions the subject's appearance".

I don't actually remember what it was that I put in there - most likely, it was that Wayne Bergeron played lead trumpet on soundtrack (which is true and was stated in Bergeron's Wikipedia article in addition to in both the "Bio" ( https://www.waynebergeron.com/bio) and "Film & TV Credits" ( https://www.waynebergeron.com/credits) section of his personal website). Can you please help me add the necessary citation? Thank you! TheTrumpetOrchestra ( talk) 17:06, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ TheTrumpetOrchestra: - You added that "Notably, Wayne Bergeron can be heard on the lead trumpet in this soundtrack" - 'notably' suggests that his performance was specifically noted in reviews, and his website isn't really a good source for that. None of the reviews I checked mentioned him. Neither of the links to his site say that he played lead trumpet on the soundtrack, the biography one says that he played "featured trumpet solos" on The Incredibles, not necessarily lead. It seems odd to note Wayne specifically if reliable secondary sources don't - the article doesn't list everybody in the orchestra. See Help:Referencing for beginners for a guide to citing sources, but this doesn't seem notable to me. Waxworker ( talk) 05:35, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

What's notable about him being lead on the soundtrack is that he's one of the greatest trumpet players of all time, and this soundtrack was essentially written for him. While there's nothing on the internet that specifically says he played lead on the soundtrack, it's always implied given his reputation with Maynard Ferguson and given that he's a lead player that he will have played lead on the soundtrack. And if you listen to the soundtrack, you can hear that it is Wayne playing the lead part on the soundtrack. However, I understand your objections for removing this even if I don't agree with them.

I have restored the edit you reverted on The Three Stooges (video game) There is no need for a citation here as it's found within the game. That is its own citation. How come you didn't remove any of the other unsourced content? 204.78.14.9 ( talk) 14:57, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

If somebody out there really, really needs to know that the company currently known as JackBox Games, which previously released You Don't Know Jack under the name Jellyvision, was also known as Learn Television before doing anything anybody's heard of, they can read about it on the company's page. Your attitude of reverting first and asking questions later (and assuredly not reading the actual pages or edits) is perfectly representative of the pinheaded process-over-people culture on this site that has kept the number of editors stagnant while the site balloons. 75.129.203.176 ( talk) 20:35, 18 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Hiya, I saw that you rolled back my edit of The Bard's Tale (1985 video game) regarding the gameplay. Technically you're correct that the addition was "unsourced". But given that the issue at hand is a technical feature of the program, I would appreciate a suggestion as to how such information can be sourced? I certainly do feel that the peculiar saving routine needs to be mentioned as it essentially turned every sortie from the Adventurer's Guild into an "iron man" game where you needed to make sure you can make it back, and fans frequently cited the resulting need to manage resources during dungeon exploration as an important if not defining aspect of the game. Frabartolo Ringril ( talk) 07:44, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Frabartolo Ringril: - 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". Reviews already on the article could be looked over to see if they discuss this, and added as inline cites - two and a bit paragraphs seems like WP:GAMECRUFT though, specific exploits in particular seems unnecessary to note. I think one sentence under gameplay saying that you have to return to the Adventurer's Guild to save character progress would be sufficient, with specific discussion/criticism of the save system by reliable sources under reception.

Hi, for sure I didn't provide a reliable source...

What I wrote was and is correct...

My mind in writing was some RUBBISH contained in the following, not all of it but some ...

"Mirabelle plums are extremely popular in Germany where they grow both wild and cultivated, primarily in the south and southwest. Mirabelle plums are enjoyed fresh or as various kinds of mirabelle cakes, liquor, preserves, and canned fruit. In Spain it grows in Galicia, in O Rosal, a valley in the south of the province of Pontevedra to which it was introduced in the mid-twentieth century by Xosé Sánchez García and where it has acclimated to perfection. In Galicia, it is consumed fresh, but it is also used to manufacture preserves and liqueurs. It is also naturalized in the Ebro Valley in parts of Zaragoza, Teruel, Lleida and Tarragona, and can be found near rivers, irrigation canals and road ditches. In Aragon mirabelle plums are called cascabeles. In England, mirabelles grow both wild and cultivated in Essex, and there are yellow, orange and red varieties in Maylandsea and at Alresford in Hampshire. There are also red, yellow and orange varieties that formed the boundary hedge to an Orchard in Sheringham Norfolk. The orchard was developed into housing in the late 1960s so the hedge is thought be up to 100 years old. The Metz variety grows wild in Suffolk at Leathes' Ham, near Oulton Broad. One tree can also be found growing wild in North West England in Liverpool, and several may be found in the Buckinghamshire town of Milton Keynes. Red and yellow varieties have also been found recently in an ancient hedgerow just outside Northampton. A lone tree found in a nature area in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire produced a massive crop in 2015. Several mirabelles have also been seen in East Ashling hedgerow fields near Chichester West Sussex. The mirabelle is also found in hedgerows in Sutton-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire and on the Millfied Golf Course, Lincolnshire. They are likewise found in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia both wild and cultivated, often at roadsides. In the United States, trees dating back to the 1940s are still producing fruit in residential neighborhoods in Tamalpais Valley, just north of San Francisco."

He/she/it who wrote that passage didn't provide a reliable source...

so I chose to use my artistic freedom and write what I wrote...

This (MY) passage contains NO falsehood whatsoever AND I didn't provide a reliable source...

To conclude...my 62 worth of text needs a reliable source !?!?

...so I will reinstate my comment...

Hi Waxworker,

I was the producer of Fighter Duel and Fighter Duel 2 for Philips Media and Infogrames, and my additions are based on multiple sources that are not on the 'net. I work directly with Matt Shaw from Jaeger Software (creator of Fighter Duel) on this content. As I said clearly in a note to my edits, citations will be forthcoming. It's not like the current page had good sourcing as it already had incorrect info (implying that Fighter Duel was available only in Europe.)

Hello. So my sources for the edits on the Benkei page were the games themselves. I'm not sure if I should just cite some youtube footage of said games as that's the best source that I can think of.

Please consider reverting your revert. Go to Companies House then click on the Filing History for JONATHAN ADAMS AND PARTNERS ARCHITECTS LIMITED and then click on the PDF for 17 September 2013 "Incorporation Model articles adopted", then scroll down to the 6th page under Director with a Date of Birth as 22/07/1961. Any problems, please let me know. SethWhales ^talk 18:17, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Seth Whales: - I'm not sure that Companies House is a good source for the DOB in general - it seems like a WP:BLPPRIMARY issue. Waxworker ( talk) 18:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Waxworker: IMHO Companies House is one of the best sources, as it is a HM Government website and it would be illegal for the Director to falsify their DOB or any other information. On gov.uk it states "If you do not file your statement within 14 days of the end of your review period, your company and its officers may be prosecuted. Your company may also be struck off the register" I think this implies that the statement must be correct otherwise the company may be prosecuted. SethWhales ^talk 18:37, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Seth Whales: - I'm saying it may not be suitable to use because it is a government website. WP:BLPPRIMARY states that "Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses" - I'm not saying that the DOB on Companies House may be inaccurate, I'm saying that it may be unsuitable as it relies on government records. If sources other than government records don't cover it, I don't think it should be on the article due to WP:BLPPRIVACY concerns. Waxworker ( talk) 18:44, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Waxworker: Information on Companies House is Public Domain. I note that Companies House does not now use the full DoB due to possible I/D theft. However WP:BLPPRIMARY also states Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public. Therefore, as I have found his DoB, anyone could do the same. If he wanted his full DoB removed, I'm sure Companies House would remove it if requested as per UK GDPR which gives individuals "the right to object to the processing of their personal data in certain circumstances". SethWhales ^talk 19:04, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Seth Whales: - I do not think the DOB in this case is "widely published by reliable sources", and WP:BLPPRIMARY discouraging the use of government public records for personal information in biographies seems very clear. Waxworker ( talk) 19:13, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Can you please elaborate on your revertion, why Serious Sam 4 level titled "In Carcassonne" cannot be mentioned in articles Carcassonne and Cité de Carcassonne as you wrote this is "unsourced"? I don't understand what do you expect, as in Carcassonne several other games are mentioned and none of them are "sourced". Why didn't you revert/delete any of these?

Hi and thank you for writing to me. May I ask? How come antoniogenna.net is not considered a reliable source? We commonly use it on the Italian Wikipedia on virtually all articles about voice actors, a topic on which it is practically the main source of information, and it often receives data directly from dubbing studios in Italy (professionals also tend to visit it to keep up to date). On the other end, is IMdB considered a reliable source? That's where I found the film roles I had added to the articles about Stefano De Sando and Gino La Monica.-- Tespiano ( talk) 14:16, 13 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Tespiano: - 'Antoniogenna.net' appears to be a WP:BLOG - I was unable to find any discussion of it in reliable sources, nor proof of getting "information directly from dubbing studios in Italy (professionals also tend to visit it to keep up to date)". IMDB is an unreliable source per WP:IMDB as it is WP:USERGENERATED. Waxworker ( talk) 14:25, 13 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Chiara Ferrari from University of Texas Press describes (page 140)* Antonio Genna as: "an invaluable online resource, kept up to date with the latest information about the industry practitioners, conferences, dubbing studios and so forth. The site is a key source for both scholars and practitioners interested in curent information about dubbing in Italy." It is not a blog (it also features a blog, but the pages I had linked don't belong to the blog section) and sees professional contributors, such as Nunziante Valoroso, an expert who also works in the Italian dubbing industry, mainly for Disney. As you can see in the main page, professionals are requested to email them to update their pages or point out mistakes. It is not a user-generated site. It also features a bibliography, which is the source of various information featured on the website. However, why did you also undo some of my contributions on Roberto Pedicini's page that had nothing to do with antoniogenna.net? Such as this, this or this?
