Hello, I'm Velella. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Micah Solusod, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. VelellaVelella Talk 19:22, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, using twitter as a citation is acceptable but the problem is that the tweet was posted on April Fool's Day and has not been followed up with confirmation. However, if it is going forward, we should expect to see wedding planning activity later. -AngusWOOF (talk) 18:03, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I removed all that information because it was a case of WP:COPYVIO. Specifically, all the text was taken word for word from this page, with no attempt to rewrite it, and the rest was unsourced. It wasn't the first time that this text was reverted either; 122.61.158.93 added it two other times before this, and was reverted both times by XLinkBot and Masem; at this point, his edits were in violation of WP:3RR. My edits were fully constructive. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 13:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent editing history at Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Unless a reliable, secondary source refers to the soundtrack as "Killer Instinct Gold Cuts" (and I haven't found one that has), we should not include it. – czar18:45, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed your recent edit to article does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Can you really say it's "clearly contested" if you're the only one who's raised an objection and every game in the compilation uses the British style? There's clearly a precedent. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 19:21, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't raised the objection—you have. It has existed in this form since its original version (which is how it should stay per English variety guideline) so your new edit is what suggests something different. There is no "precedent"—every article is considered on its own merits. czar19:24, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And yet the variety guideline states "The English Wikipedia prefers no major national variety of the language over any other", so it's not like it's a requirement. Also, the article is less than six months old; "since the original version" isn't exactly a lengthy period of time. Still, I'm open to discussing it with others on the main talk page. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 19:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Riegel's credited roles
For Sam Riegel's roles where his name appears in the video game credits along with his role, you can use {{cite video game}} to provide references. If it shows up but you don't see his role, then you can list them but comment out the role part until you get proof otherwise. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:31, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is mainly for the user who edits various video game articles (mostly Sonic), but might I suggest creating an account so you don't get inadvertently blocked at the hands of others that use this IP? To do this, just go to this page and follow the instructions there. Hope this helps with future edits. jd22292(Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 17:10, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Referencing for video games
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that in regards to your sourced Sonic the Hedgehog video game edits, WikiProject Video games has a custom Google search that has its own set of domains in which the WikiProject trusts for reliable sources in their scope. Please consider using it for future edits. Thank you. jd22292(Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 18:02, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not actually unconstructive. The episode list was accurate, concise, properly formatted, and covered a series whose notability had already been established within the context of the article. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 20:17, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I clearly said that Penta has not been confirmed to be playable in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. The fact he appears in a cutscene means nothing, especially when all the videos we've seen so far show 25 playable characters, not 26. Wait until he is actually revealed to be playable before claiming him to be as such. 85.211.129.184 (talk) 14:02, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Watch just about any gameplay video and you'll see the current roster of characters, all of which say 25/25 and none of which involve Penta. Even the official Activision Blog on the game doesn't mention him. Fact of the matter is, until there is evidence that shows Penta to be playable, we can't include him. 85.211.129.184 (talk) 14:51, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And an earlier video didn't show the Nitro Kart characters. There's no indication that those 25 are the final roster, nor has any indication ever been made as such. By contrast, we have a text source in that same paragraph FROM Activision that says every character is returning. That's a definitive confirmation, and you'll need a better source if you want to suggest Penta is not in. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 14:58, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong. Whilst there is no indication that those 25 are the final roster, that is what we know for a fact to be true as of right now - that is what we have as concrete proof at the moment and your Nitro Kart claims mean nothing. And your "definitive confirmation" is far from definitive at all....where does it specifically say that Penta is in the game? The answer is it doesn't. 85.211.129.184 (talk) 15:01, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, yes it does. Again, the exact sentence is "all the kooky characters from Crash Team Racing". Penta is in CTR. Therefore, Penta is in the game. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 15:06, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And, again, the same article clearly states all the currently confirmed characters and Penta is not one of them. Therefore, he is not confirmed. The article doesn't name him specifically, so therefore he can't be included. 85.211.129.184 (talk) 15:14, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Y'see, now Penta has been confirmed as playable because gameplay footage of him has shown up, with his icon in the character select screen. Because we now have direct evidence of him being playable, he can be included. 85.211.142.108 (talk) 06:27, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, so you resort to lying?
Saying I'm removing confirmed information when not once Penta has been confirmed? Saying I have no prior editing history when I have been contributing for Wikipedia for well over 12 years? That's real mature. 85.211.129.184 (talk) 15:19, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong, I have been editing here for years. I was contributing to the Crash Bandicoot section of Wikipedia since Crash Twinsanity's times. I never even made that edit you're talking about. 85.211.129.184 (talk) 15:22, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's because I'm on a free-floating IP, genius, it keeps changing every time I turn the computer on. As a user, I have been here since 2006. 85.211.129.184 (talk) 15:29, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You can't expect me to know these things. All I have to go on is your edit history as it's presented to me. Also, your antagonistic attitude is not helping your case. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 15:33, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't have been so antagonistic if you actually listened to what I said. Trust me, my reasoning is based on the same reasoning I've been through before. Also, I don't think you have the right to call me antagonistic if you're resorting to telling lies about me. 85.211.129.184 (talk) 15:37, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Except I didn't lie. Your current IP DOESN'T have any existing history (and nothing to indicate you had any previous IPs), and you removed a sentence (all the CTR characters are in) that was directly stated in the cited source. I haven't made any statements about your activity that were untrue. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 15:58, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You said there were 26 confirmed characters when there are only 25 confirmed characters as of right now, and you deliberately said I admitted to being antagonistic, when I was simply humouring you. That constitutes a lie. Once again, that article does not mention Penta, thus does not confirm he is playable. 85.211.129.184 (talk) 16:16, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please explain why you reported me for 3RR after deliberately reverting my edit so it showed incorrect information, forcing me to revert it so it showed the correct information. Also, it's easy, since I'm explaining the exact same thing to you then as I am now. 85.211.129.184 (talk) 16:25, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Because obviously there was some dispute, so we should have discussed it further before making any changes, as I suggested immediately once we both had three edits under our belt. Instead, you broke the rules to restore your version of the statement. And if you were only removing the "incorrect" information, you would have done what I did and removed the number instead of the part stated in the source. Had you done that from the start, I wouldn't have cared. (Also, you still haven't explained how I could have known you were any other IP without being told.) -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 16:33, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong, again. I clearly did not break the rules, I reverted it back to the correct version. You said there were 26 characters, there were clearly 25 in videos, 25 listed, Penta has not been confirmed, you just keep clinging to that one sentence - you cannot deny the fact that, as we know it, there are 25 characters in the game, not 26. If you had done the whole remove the number thing in the first place, instead of insisting on having your way and then penalizing me for removing unconfirmed information, this wouldn't have happened in the first place. And then you failed to get a joke, which doesn't help. (Well, if you weren't sure, you shouldn't have said I was) 85.211.129.184 (talk) 16:38, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm Interstatefive, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Although you're free to perform most tasks on Wikipedia without registering, it's highly recommended you create an account as there are many added benefits. It's private and secure and it's also free, simple, and quick to do.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. If you register an account, you can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you could put a link to it on your user page.
Please remember to:
Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this IP's talk page, and a timestamp.
Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
