The section you have added was removed from Flying Spaghetti Monster because of a lack of a reliable source linking it to the FSM. See talk page discussion. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 03:11, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:ΓΕΡΟΝΤΑΣ ΠΑΣΤΙΤΣΙΟΣ - ELDER PASTITSIOS Facebook page cover (small).jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:ΓΕΡΟΝΤΑΣ ΠΑΣΤΙΤΣΙΟΣ - ELDER PASTITSIOS Facebook page cover (small).jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:25, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm TheFarix. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Vixens, 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 need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Farix (t | c) 13:52, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

TheFarix, If we want to be 100% "by the book", then the whole article should never have existed because it has actually no reliable sources whatsoever. (Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources: "If no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it."). On the other hand Anime News Network it may be crowdsourced but so is IMDb or Wikipedia itself. Again Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources#User-generated_content doesn't say that all crowdsourced sites are unreliable but it says that they are "generally unacceptable", which means that may be acceptable in some cases. In this present case (a) the info included is just metadata, not an opinion or something so it has low possibility to be disputable and (b) is verified but another questionable source: anidb (link: anidb [dot] net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=1281 I couldn't use the full url because it's blacklisted by antispam filter). So I have put two questionable sources that say the same thing. I think that after all it's just a matter of common sense.

I haven't reverted your edit yet because I prefer to talk first and revert later, but I will evenyually do so because my common sense says that the sources are OK. Cheers. --Protnet (talk) 10:30, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

ANN's encyclopedia section has been repeatedly brought to both WP:ANIME and WP:RSN and has categorically rejected as a reliable source because it is entirely based on user generated content. Links to the discussions can be find at WP:ANIME/ORS#Situational. Also, for you information, IMDb has also been rejected for the exact same reason. You simply cannot use any user generated content to cite facts in articles. As for the notability of the subject, that is completely unrelated to your attempt to add information based on an unreliable source. —Farix (t | c) 14:06, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

I was trying to make a different point here but nevertheless I've found a by all means reliable source: Rowena Wendy Lei AKA Animetric, famous anime reviewer: http://www.animetric.com/Review/Hentai-Reviews/Vixens.html --Protnet (talk) 18:46, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
