well, Am afraid I don't have references. I only made an article about this game because I played it and I deeply understand it. Can't you download it at Playstore and review it yourself maybe? If not then I have another question Am gonna make an article about my family, meaning about the history of the family etc. Should I also have references for that?

Hi,
Yes, everything needs references, meaning that everything we write in any article must be verifiable from reliable and independent published sources.
In fact, Wikipedia articles should only summarise what such sources have previously said. The way you write an article is you find a few such sources, summarise (in your own words) what they say, and cite those sources against the information they have provided. That gives you the article content, references, and proof of notability in one fell swoop. You may want to read this: WP:GOLDENRULE.
Also, you shouldn't be writing about yourself or your family in any case. And if you do write about anything that you have an external ('real life') relationship with, you need to make a conflict-of-interest (see WP:COI) disclosure first.

so I gotta find references for what I want to write about first before even writing it? This is confusing so I will stick to enjoying Wikipedia instead. I thought it was fun but meh. Lindo Kabini (talk) 12:19, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, that's the way it works. Because you're meant to only summarise existing sources, it inevitably follows that you have to first find those sources, before you can summarise them.
If you do decide to give it another go at some point, you may find this page a good starting point: WP:YFA. From there you can access an 'article wizard', which takes you through the whole process step-by-step.

So even if I do an article about myself. I gotta have references? How on Earth! Tell me, where do I get all these references. Gimme an example. Lindo Kabini (talk) 16:25, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
