[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Timelash (UFO), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 23:25, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- In addition, per consensus Wikipedia does not include trivia sections in articles. Please do not continue to restore them.-- Ponyobons mots 23:28, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to message me (SuperMarioMan). You have reverted my edit to the page on the basis that it has no reliable source but I think the actual TV show itself servers a reliable source. Does it not? ChainsawDude (talk) 23:29, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- No, that is original research. The content you add must be verifiable by readers; this is accomplished by including a link to a reliable source. In this case, however, even if you had a reliable source the content would be removed as the inclusion of trivia sections is discouraged per WP:TRIVIA.-- Ponyobons mots 18:33, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- To me, as a superfan, this information is of value and I thought presented well, but I understand that you're calling it "trivia" and not allowed. Will it be OK in the talk article? ChainsawDude (talk) 13:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
