Talk:Wacky Packages

Orange Border

These are funny, and clever spin offs but why do some of them have an orange border? Darkened wiki (talk) 02:19, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Outdated article

There are sections about up coming releases that have past dates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.216.154.103 (talk) 20:10, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Inclusion of Reference

I put a new Reference in the article, but I don't know how to get it to go to the article I'm referring to. Can someone please fix it for me? Also, please don't remove it, as I went to a lot of trouble to find this information.Malcolmlucascollins (talk) 01:54, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Whether warranted or not, the lostwackys.com site is on the Wikipedia Spam Blacklist and cannot be properly added as a source citation. I started to expand it with a link only to find this out. If a better (not self-published?) source is found, I'll gladly help with your adding it. —ADavidB 14:03, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Inclusion of another Reference

I just put another Reference in the article, but now it won't connect to the article. Can someone please fix it for me? And please tell me that it's not another blacklisted site.Malcolmlucascollins (talk) 18:03, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

I've expanded the source citation. Its main issue was you applied https when the site only supports http. The reliability of the cite is still questionable, though. Books and magazine or newspaper articles from known publishers would be better. —ADavidB 19:42, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, ADavidB, for helping me out. I can also tell you this much, though: Fred Wheaton does work for Topps. Would that be a consideration for the Reference's reliability?Malcolmlucascollins (talk) 22:27, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome. Provided we have a reliable source that shows Wheaton works for Topps, and preferably in what (significant?) capacity, that relationship could be mentioned in the article, along with the additional source, to support the reliability. —ADavidB 04:18, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Okay, you got it! I just received news of the August-September 2020 issue of Non-Sport Update magazine, which has an article that mentions Fred Wheaton. Here it is: https://www.beckettmedia.com/non-sport-update/current-issue/non-sport-update-print-current-issue/non-sport-august-september-20-issue. Hope this helps.Malcolmlucascollins (talk) 18:24, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Since I don't have a subscription, and it seems you want me to add the source citation, please provide the name of the article in this issue that contains the information on Wheaton, and its page number. A short quotation of the sentence(s) about Wheaton would help also. Thanks. —ADavidB 23:46, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Okay, here's the information you need:

Non-Sport Update August/September 2020 (Volume 31, Number 4) "Strike Up the Band-Ache: Seventies Stickers Spark Wacky's Wheaton" by Chris Mixer, pp.16-17.

Again, hope this helps.Malcolmlucascollins (talk) 22:17, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. I've added the information to the article. —ADavidB 06:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
