Hello, Psy4potato, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page The Challenge: All Stars did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at The Challenge: All Stars. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

Are you not going to respond to the talk page discussion I pinged you about? You continue to add back in the information about alternates despite the fact we do not have a reliable source for it. I will copy the post I made there here for you to see:

@Psy4potato: As I mentioned in my edit comments, adding the information about alternates needs a reliable source, and Vevmo(a web forum) is not useable as a reliable source. Please review WP:RS. I recommend you revert your most recent re-addition of the information from the page, and if you want to discuss it here on the talk page or find a reliable source for the information please do so. Also please review WP:EDITWAR before making anymore changes in regards to this on article. Thank you

The section of WP:RS you need to read and understand is WP:USERGENERATED. Vevmo is a webforum, anything there can be posted by anyone, and regardless of who post it, it isn't usable as a source here on wikipedia. In your most recently edit, you added instagram as another source, this is the same issue. Some information about a person from their social media can used for information about themselves but not when it involves third parties. Regardless of that, the instagram post you tried to use as a source, doesn't even actually say what you are trying to add in, that they were alternatives for All Stars. Here is the portion of the RS policy I am referring to, bolding done by me:

Content from websites whose content is largely user-generated is generally unacceptable. Sites with user-generated content include personal websites, personal and group blogs (excluding newspaper and magazine blogs), content farms, Internet forums, social media sites, video and image hosting services, most wikis, and other collaboratively created websites.

Examples of unacceptable user-generated sites are Wikipedia, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, Reddit, IMDb, Ancestry.com, Find a Grave, and ODMP.

I once again suggest you discuss this on the talk page, rather than continuing to add back in your changes. Please revert your most recent edit and take any changes and potential sourcing to the talk page. WikiVirusC(talk) 13:53, 31 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
