Information icon Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Manic Miner, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Waxworker (talk) 22:44, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How do I get unpublished personal memory/experience into the record then? 89.102.169.132 (talk) 05:59, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, I reviewed the reference [21]. It contains material, especially the two YT videos linked, that make all my claims directly verifiable. Can you please reinstate my changes? Mandevil (talk) 07:36, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The 'pmd85.borik.net' ref doesn't appear to be reliable - there's several other unreliable sources on the article (uvlist, dragonwiki etc as they are WP:USERGENERATED) that should be removed and replaced with better sourcing. Adding info sourced to "unpublished personal memory/experience" is WP:OR and isn't reliable, and Youtube is generally unreliable per WP:RSPYT. Waxworker (talk) 08:25, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're not going to get a peer-reviewed article about an obscure game conversion from mid-eighties. If your intent was to dissuade me from contributing and financially supporting Wikipedia -- congratulations, you're doing great job. Mandevil (talk) 08:55, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
