Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Infinity Blade 3, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, material obtained through personal knowledge, or which constitutes the an analysis or interpretation by the editor that is not found in cited sources. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. I notice that you tried to include references in the article, but merely putting things like "Metacritic" or "Destructoid" in a citation tag does not constitute a citation, and writing them out like that causes citations errors to appear in the References section, which you can see here. The publication info for the other citations has to be included, just as it was for the IGN citation, which I kept in the article (along with details of Justin Davis' review, which I added). In addition, the citations need to be placed after the material that they support, per WP:PAIC, and should not be listed in the References section. Feel free to add back all the material that was removed, so long as it is accompanied by citations of reliable sources. If you need help doing that, let me know.

Some other tips:

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and therefore, must be written in a formal tone. This means, among other things, that the pronouns "you" and "we" should not be used. Instead, the material should be written in the third person, not the first or second (aside from direct quotes or proper nouns).
Only the first word & proper nouns are capitalized in headings, per WP:SECTIONHEAD.

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) 02:27, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
