Tattoo quoting the End Poem
Tattoo quoting the End Poem

Converted from a redirect by Tamzin (talk). Self-nominated at 04:31, 8 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/End Poem; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • @Tamzin: New enough, long enough, and plagiarism free, but I'm troubled by the state of the sourcing. I'll defer to you on Chatfield 2012 and Gault 2022, but I'm still concerned by Gough 2022 (pushing the limits of WP:PRIMARY/non-independent and what that kind of source should be used for), Thielenhaus 2017 (the fact that even the Video Games WikiProject won't stamp the source as fully reliable is troubling), and Creswell 2022 (CBR writes a lot about a lot, but frequently doesn't constitute much due weight). But the hook checks out, and it's definitely interesting. Image licensing checks out (glad you got through the hoops), used in the article and is clear at shrunken size. Nice work so far! theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 00:33, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

End Poem and advertising stunt

[edit]

Given that Wikipedia is about highlighting real world events, should it not reject this PR stunt? For should a poem, aimed at advertising a product, be allowed?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.239 (talk) 05:51, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The End Poem exists apart from its use in Minecraft and is discussed in the article as a piece of literature. I don't think this article is a PR stunt, but needless to say, Wikipedia is about more than highlighting real world events. Askarion 20:32, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not a poem?

[edit]

The page currently describes the End Poem as a poem. I'm not sure that this is correct; it seems like a prose dialogue to me. Dingolover6969 (talk) 13:42, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
