Marking reversions as minor

There seem to be a lot of people marking reversions as minor on this article. This seems very strange to me...how is a reversion a minor edit? Valereee (talk) 18:24, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Reverted unsourced additions

Because wiki keeps forgetting to add important details to the page and they are only minor things but still important to the character Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:13, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

@Dsummjr11, Wikipedia adds sourced content. It actually doesn't matter if fans of the show think the information is important. If no reliable source is discussing it, we don't include it. Valereee (talk) 19:23, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

It is reliable, it’s in the relationship tab of the wiki for him but you didn’t include it up top. So that’s why I put it there Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:25, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

The wiki isn't a reliable source. It's crowdsourced. Please see WP:RS for more information. Valereee (talk) 19:26, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Then if that’s not reliable maybe you should remove that too. All I know is that all that info is accurate Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:27, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

I am not trying to get banned or anything I am just trying to update the info and make the page look better and more accurate. My apologies Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:28, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

I get it, you're new here. You have a bit of a learning curve. We add content that is cited to reliable sources. If you add content without a source, it's likely to get removed. The fact you know the information is accurate isn't good enough; we need a wp:reliable source. Valereee (talk) 19:29, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Okay so how do I site a source that comes directly from an episode? Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:31, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, if what's not reliable? Valereee (talk) 19:28, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

The relationship page you said it’s crowd sourced so I am wondering why that info is staying and mine is not when it’s the exact same information just put at the top of the page Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:29, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

What relationship page are you talking about? Can you give me a URL? Valereee (talk) 19:30, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Yes Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:31, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

And what would that URL be? Valereee (talk) 19:31, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

It would be under his character arc if you scroll down passed that it has relationships as a section. Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:32, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Not sure how to directly add the link to that Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:32, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Jeez...that entire section needs to be deleted. What a train wreck. Valereee (talk) 19:34, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that part was not me. I just thought I be a nice guy and add that to the top. However the info is correct but I can try and give you the exact sources but I Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:35, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

dont know how you want me to give you all thayt info Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:36, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

So what would you like me to do in regards to the page. I would like to make it the best it can be but I am not sure how to do that. Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:43, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Well, if it were me, I'd remove pretty much every sentence that doesn't have a citation and start over. Cite only to reliable sources, not to the show itself, wikifandoms, etc. Cite only to actual real newspapers and magazines that are discussing the topic. I suspect this article should be two or three short paragraphs long. Valereee (talk) 19:49, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

How can you do that if it is a TV show? Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:52, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

So find a possible website where they talk about his relationship and use that info in the wiki? Dsummjr11 (talk) 19:55, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Probably not a website. What you're looking for is a reliable source. Anything crowdsourced like a fan page or IMDb is a no-go. If TV Guide talks about it, you're good. Valereee (talk) 20:07, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Okay sweet, I appreciate your help. My apologies if I came across as a jerk. Dsummjr11 (talk) 20:12, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
