The following message was posted to my talk page:

"I do not understand why you reverted my addition of musical references to the 'Psych, the Musical' entry. Your message "AFTER you have a reliable source to verify this information" does not help to clarify. There is no citation for what the plot is, nor what the musical numbers are. How is this section different?

The closest equivalent to *exactly this* is in episode 'Mr. Yin Presents', where all Hitchcock references are included. There are no citations here either. So, why is this section singled out?

Finally, what citation would you think -should- exist for a collection of references? Qvamp (talk) 21:10, 25 September 2014 (UTC)"[reply]

I am starting this subject to address the concern expressed in this comment. This user makes a good point. Maybe I shouldn't have held this material to a standard of needing a reference when most of this page as it now stands is unreferenced. At the same time, I believe that we owe some degree of accountability for the content of this page, and I believe if this information is to be reincluded, it should be sourced. However, I recognize that I am only one editor, so I am willing to let the consensus decide on this issue. For your convenience, I reproduce here the content this user was trying to add, as follows:

Under a section called "Musical References," the following facts:
In the opening number, Gus is involved in a knife fight similar to the one in West Side Story.
Shawn states that the criminal went Into the Woods.
Shawn says, "Gus, don't be the very model of a modern major-general.", a line from The Pirates of Penzance.
Yang refers to Z as Phantom of the Opera
Posters in the theater for Oklahoma, West Side Story and The King and I
The actor who played Ronald Armatage was a main character from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, he spoofs a line from his role when he refers to Audra as "Janet", and when corrected says "dammit"
Gus quotes Yul Brynner's "etcetera, etcetera" line from The King and I
Shawn introduces Gus as Gigi Van Trahn, a character from Miss Saigon
(not a musical, but...) Yang states that she will "call you, maybe"

Now that I have done my duty and posted on the topic, I will leave it to the consensus to decide whether or not this material should be included. What do you guys think? --Jgstokes (talk) 03:35, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re: timing,
You seem to have misunderstood that edit, this episode, and the interviews you've cited.
Prior to reverting again, would you please thoroughly review both the episode and interviews? Even better, could you discuss this episode with someone in your personal life?
Similar to The Princess Bride (film), the primary dating is dissimilar from the story being recounted. In that film's case, the story being told may be centuries earlier and/or entirely fictional—within the movie's universe—nevertheless, the actual movie is set in 1987.
Again, I implore you to review and discuss prior to making any additional edits. 2601:204:EA7F:9C50:91B0:9501:FAB:E8FF (talk) 18:08, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You want a source to justify my revert to the last stable version before your interference? Try this on for size. It explicitly stated that Psych the Musical is set before Deez Nups. And it says nothing there about it being an embellished version of events. That article was published in 2020, and ScreenRant has been verified as a reliable source for Wikipedia. And in any case, a wikilink that needlessly repeats an actor's name is redundant. Now unless you have a more reliable independent source that directly counters what reliable sources say, kindly drop the stick and step away from the poor dead horse.

I kinda agree Psych The Musical isn’t canon. Yangs story was supposed to be concluded in Season 5. Max the Media Fan (talk) 23:59, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then cite a source to prove it. Personal opinions or interpretations aren't grounds for verifiability. I have cited at least two sources stating this is canon and takes place before the events of Deez Nups. So unless you can cite a source to verify that your interpretations are correct, it's time to drop the stick and step away from the horse. Thanks. User:Jgstokes (talk)—We can disagree without becoming disagreeable. 04:54, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Canon

[edit]

How are the events with Yang in Psych The Musical canon though? Her story was supposed to have been concluded in Season five Max the Media Fan (talk) 00:20, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
