Miles Morales

[edit]

Hi. A belated WELCOME to Wikipedia! I know you've been here a few years, and don't edit that often, but thought I'd open my message by saying Hi.

I have reverted your edits to Miles Morales for the following reasons.

  • First, regarding the paragraph you added, you should know that the Lede section is a summary of the article's most salient information. While it already mentions Jeff and Rio's ethnicity, it is not a place to add an extra paragraph to argue for or against this. Any additional clarifying detail should be incorporated into that first mention. More detailed explanations of this can added to the article body, or in notes, like the ones at the bottom of the article, in the Notes section.
  • Second, you claim that Rio was left ambiguous in the comics. In fact, Rio was established to be Puerto Rican, and that is supported by a citation of a Daily News article that I added to the article years ago. It was in the article body, though not in the lede section. I've addressed this by adding it to the lede.
  • Third, sites with user-generated info, including the YouTube channels of uncredentialed users, are not considered reliable under WP:USERG.
  • Also, the final part of that paragraph mentioned an annual where you say Cody Zigler established that Rio was Afro-Puerto Rican, but did not include an inline citation. Please make sure any information you add to articles is accompanied by them. You can learn to make them here. Regarding that annual, I read it in the hopes of adding a citation to the article to support your claim, but I could not find any mention of Rio being Afro-Puerto Rican. For this reason, I removed the claim from the article. If you could point out to me where in the annual that information is given, however, I'll gladly restore it, with a citation to that effect.
  • Lastly, a more minor point, but there citations should be placed after the material they support, per WP:PAIC, so there's no reason for place the word "mother" after the phrase "Puerto Rican."

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 03:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey.
Yeah, the issue with your source is that it's dated several years prior to the reveal of Rio Morales being an Afro-Puerto Rican, which was only a few months ago.
The 2024 Annual features several of Miles' Puerto Rican relatives, whom have African features, and his grandfather is noticeably a Black man, further corroborated by the fact that Miles' grandmother states he looks quite similar to him. Of course, Cody Ziglar, the current writer of the character and of said Annual, stating Rio is a Black woman only further serves to drive home the new development.
I thought the YouTube interview would be a usable source, considering it's of the writer directly responsible for the development, but my mistake.
Also, when I said Rio's race was left ambiguous, that is because it wasn't ever clarified until Ziglar's more direct reveal. Puerto Rican is an ethnicity, not a race, so there is a difference. The Above All Others (talk) 04:43, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
