If you feel that I have reverted an edit or issued a warning in error, please click here and let me know. Even though I am experienced with Wikipedia that doesn't mean I don't make mistakes, I do too. Everyone makes mistakes. So please don't interpret an error on my part as a personal attack on you. It's not, I promise. I ask you to simply bring it to my attention; I am always open to civil discussion. (I will respond to you as soon as I can) Thank you. --Chamith(talk)

NONE of those characters are "sourced". i watched that movie last night, he plays Miles Teller, "second baseman at UNC". clearly, he is not playing himself.
Wikipedia does not accept Original research. Others are NOT sourced because no one has yet performed controversial edits on those entries and linked articles of those movies specifically mentions his role. But you did. So be ready to cite sources. Your personal analysis is not a source -- Chamith(talk)16:25, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I see the change you ultimately made, which I'm not satisfied with, but that aside I would like an explanation here: there are 20 entries in Miles Teller's filmography and not a single one is cited. Further, the original text stating that he played himself, which is obviously incorrect to anyone that has seen the movie, was not cited. Even further, Miles Teller being quoted in an interview saying it was "more of a cameo" isn't complete, b/c the truth is that he plays a character named Miles Teller that is obviously not based on him in real life (in the movie he's a college baseball player), which is more interesting than just saying he plays a character named Miles and it's a cameo; that makes it sound like he's playing himself again (which is blatantly wrong). Can I just cite the film as a reference? It is a first source in this case, after all (and also what I was basing my editing on). Can I cite this shitty youtube video of his scenes in the movie? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb8lxtCB7LM
I really think you should just let me change it to playing Miles Teller and putting "Not as Himself" in the note, instead of the current Miles and "Cameo appearance".
Like I said before, other entries are not cited because their articles specifically mentions his role in those movies. And I too have seen the movie a long time ago. So I see your point. But the thing is, we have to chose a reliable source over a personal analysis. And about citing a YouTube video, YouTube is not considered as a reliable source by Wikipedia community. However it can be used if it is impossible to find external sources. Furthermore the video shouldn't be a copyright violation. That last part is important.--Chamith(talk)02:28, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And here, using the word cameo is appropriate because, even though it means typically featuring characters as themselves, it doesn't always mean characters are appearing as themselves. As the Wikipedia article says, it's typical not always. For example in the movie The Interview (2014 film), Eminem did a cameo appearance and stated that he is gay. But that doesn't mean he is actually gay in real life.--Chamith(talk)02:35, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
