Hi, you reverted my changes on Niall Breslin and gave a strong warning to me about unsourced edits. I had added content to the page to highlight that Niall Horan had attended the same school as Bressie.

The issue with citing such a statement arises where there are no reliable articles published online which back this fact up. We can see from Niall Horan's page that He attended St. Kenny's National School, a primary school, and Mary's College (Irish: Coláiste Mhuire), a Catholic boys school, which are both located in his hometown of Mullingar and we also see the same consensus from the Coláiste Mhuire, Mullingar page. I am confused why these articles require no valid citation (especially on a protected page such as Horan's) yet Breslin's article does. It appears as though there is a lack of consistency in this regard across Wikipedia, which admittedly may be a broader issue in the platform itself. I'd request that you either correct the record and remove these uncited statement from the aforementioned articles or restore my edit to Niall Breslin's page.

Thank you.

Hi, you reverted an edit of mine (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Happy_Wheels&diff=next&oldid=1184158979) because it's "not a reliable source". The page I linked in the edit is an official announcement by the game creator. Notice how the previous citation links to the same website, just to a different announcement by that same person. I'm confused as to how it is an unreliable source; when the same site/announcement system was linked to previously. Kwwwwwl (talk) 18:32, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kwwwwwl: Hi, sorry for the terribly late reply and you're right, it's the same source (I think I might have missed at the time that the URL/linked announcement changed because only the last two characters of the URL changed, but that's not meant as an excuse). I do want to point out that you replaced the previously stated year and left the edit summary "corrected false info that the sequel has been in development since 2019; it was actually first announced to be in development in 2012". Given that both are announcements by the game creator, how would you be able to say which one is the correct one? Also, after looking at it more closely, I'm not sure that the linked 2012 announcement actually qualifies as an announcement for a sequel since the information is kind of vague that it doesn't sound like the creator knew what it was going to be at the time (therefore, it's not clear whether he was developing a sequel to Happy Wheels, merely a new version or a different unrelated new game; "I've been spending my own time creating a new version of Happy Wheels from scratch. At least, I assume it will be Happy Wheels. I'm learning c++ and opengl. It is fun to have something new and challenging, so I'm pumped to have something showable soon. I promise it will be awesome (if you liked Happy Wheels and my judgement hasn't expired)."). However, I have found some posts from 2013 where they explicitly claim to be working on a sequel (e.g., [1], [2]), so that's probably what they meant in the 2012 post as well, and the current wording of the sentence in the article ("sequel has been announced to be in development since 2019") is indeed incorrect. So, I've adjusted the sentence to reflect the much earlier development start (I chose the safe wording "since at least 2013") as well as the primary nature of the source. Sorry again for the late reply and happy future editing. Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 01:43, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Johnson's far-right politics are worth mentioning given the fact that the topic is already political in nature (white supremacy/racism via Eminem's placement). Johnson's politics include fascist principles such as racial separatism, hatred toward LGBTQ+ identities, antisemitism, and opposition to interracial marriage. This can all be found on his personal Wikipedia page, and referring to him simply as a "psychologist" provides insufficient context for his statements on the topic at hand as well as lends an air of misplaced credibility to his statements that I believe is irresponsible on our part as editors.

You removed an edit because the source was a wiki. Here is a source which is a transcript of a podcast episode where Wiger says that he is "ethnically Estonian." Is that sufficient? https://app.podscribe.ai/episode/91393604 216.158.246.185 (talk) 20:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
