Hello, I'm Grayfell. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Gamer, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Thanks for adding a reference for the history of the word gamer. I've fixed your reference - see Help:Referencing for beginners for more info on how to do references. Happy Editing! PamD 14:59, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello UnculturedOzBoz, thank you for your interest in improving this article. But sources like blogs, forums, personal websites, etc. are generally not considered reliable sources for Wikipedia. Usually sources should be authored by an acknowledged expert, have some kind of editorial oversight and fact-checking, and have a reputation for accurate, professional publications. Please make sure to read the detailed guidance at WP:RS about the criteria for reliable sources in an encyclopedic context. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask on my user talkpage or at WP:Teahouse, a forum for new editors. GermanJoe (talk) 14:35, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
