Question[edit]

Hi. I noticed that you added the following content to GameSpot:

In January-February of 2020 the website gamespot.com was one of the most popular and reliable sources in English Wikipedia.^[1]

Can you tell us where in the cited article (for example, in which section of it) you read that? The article is very long, so you can hardly expect readers to search all of it just to verify that single statement. Glades12 (talk) 08:11, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I think I found the relevant part of the source. It was near the end of "4.2. Complex Extraction", right? Glades12 (talk) 14:45, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Scope creep: What's a "sock ref"? A reference added by a sockpuppet? Glades12 (talk) 08:12, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Glades12: Take a look at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Refspam across many articles. scope_creep^Talk 10:17, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This account is going to get blocked.scope_creep^Talk 10:19, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Scope creep: Please don't assume every Wikipedian regularly checks noticeboards and knows what you mean by "It is a sock ref" without any links nor context. Glades12 (talk) 13:55, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
