User talk:RainbowRunner2000

September 2020

Hello, I'm Toddst1. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 18:40, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I just like to make good contributions. But I understand if they don't necessarily fit into the article. I may be able to find a source for that edit, but I'll probably do it later. RainbowRunner2000 (talk) 18:43, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Song appearances in games, etc.

I have been reverting your additions at song articles, because of several reasons. The first is WP:INDISCRIMINATE which says not everything that is true is appropriate for adding to Wikipedia. The second is WP:SECONDARY which says that secondary references are greatly preferred. Secondary references have an identiable human author who has commented about the topic, showing that the fact has been noticed by the media. If the media notices the fact, then it is raised up in importance and we can consider listing the fact on Wikipedia. If the source merely lists the fact in passing, then it is not shown to be important to the topic. The third reason was WP:USERG which you already adjusted for.

To be fair, when I add stuff like that, I always make sure its brief and to the point without showing any bias or slurring of facts. I'm just someone who has played Guitar Hero III passionately growing up.

As you noticed, I tried to make sure my sources were reliable. But by the logic that you were suggesting with your reverts, why didn't you also take off the mention of Slow Ride's inclusion in GTA: San Andreas?

Yes, I try to find reliable sources for stuff I add. But something else, does every miniscule detail need a source, like "the sky is blue."

Honestly, my thought is, if there are notable facts about something, it should be included. In the case of Slow Ride and School's Out, something like "This was one of Rainbow Runner's favorite songs" would be personal. However, Guitar Hero is well known to many. Therefore, I don't see any problems with mentioning the inclusion of songs as long as they are brief and show objectivity with no personalized bias.

Okay, I also saw you removed the mention of GTA: San Andreas. But still, I hope you understand where I'm coming from. RainbowRunner2000 (talk) 21:53, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

GTA and GH are important to the topic of a song if the song appearing in that game is described in a WP:SECONDARY source as remarkable for some reason. Certainly GTA is worth mentioning in the biographies of in-game deejays such as Moodymann and Dr. Dre because good secondary sources exist for them. Songs are hardly ever called out as significant in these games. Binksternet (talk) 23:35, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
