Recent edit to Back to the Future (video game)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content from Back to the Future (video game) without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Waterlogging

Sorry, I somehow missed the other parts of your edit that included the removal of the intentional dab link. It was not my intention to undo those, but it looks better now. One of the references at the bottom still looks to be a problem. Maybe I can help clean that up to make partial amends. —jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:26, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

January 2017

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Evan McMullin does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. You're making constructive edits but without an edit summary I have to investigate what you've done when you could just tell me. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:06, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Drive by tagging

Instead of going from article to article tagging dead links, could I suggest you look for a source to replace the dead link? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:32, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced birth dates

Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Andreas Deja. In this edit, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware the many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases. This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we have to either go without this information or wait until a source like Entertainment Weekly publishes an interview that includes this information. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at WP:RSN. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:56, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish magazine LEVEL

Good morning (think other time of the day if applicable) Grey ghost! I'm an editor who works on and off around the WP:VG project on underdeveloped or underpolished articles, with a particular interest in Japanese games and especially the works of Square Enix. I happened to notice that for the wiki entry on Namco Tales Studio, you worked in an interesting tidbit of information citing an article about Square Enix from the September 2009 issue of the Swedish magazine LEVEL, which seems to be a source of valuable details on the company's history. As it happens, I'm an enthusiast of the (sadly) defunct magazine and am interested in using any available material from the journal for the cause of improving video game articles. Therefore, I wonder if you would be willing to share scans of the Square Enix interview by Fredrik Schaufelberger (provided that you still possess the relevant journal). Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time. Electroguv (talk) 08:12, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
