- Hi! Thanks for leaving this. I much appreciate it. I actually wanted to contact you and discuss this specific revision and the issues surrounding it.
- My issue is two folds:
- 1. Could you identify the specific issues that surround my attempted edit that makes it not fall in line with the verifiability policy?
- 2. The issue I have in terms of providing more official sources surrounding the topic of cEDH is that due to its nature, it hasn't had a lot of officiality to it and overt historical documentation of its beginnings in the same way that Duel Commander might have. A large portion of cEDH's history exists on discord (which many of them have been deleted or lost) so documentation on this topic gets rather tricky. Major content creators and influences like Lab Maniac had a significant impact on the development of the format and providing this alongside the inclusion of the Sharuum primer. What would you advise on refining the edit to try and improve it? WordyTalks 03:23, 13 September 2024 (CDT)
- It basically boils down to needing to find reliable secondary sources which provide coverage on the format (such as reviews). Not every fan variant is notable & if there are no reliable sources, then it doesn't belong in the article. You cited a forum thread & a blog; WP:USERGENERATED states: 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, fansites, video and image hosting services, most wikis and other collaboratively created websites.
- The perennial source list is always a good place to start if you're unsure about the quality of a source. Various wiki projects also maintain their own lists of vetted sources; check out WikiProject Board and table games & WikiProject Video games. The video games source page has a lot of advice which I think is relevant for tabletop gaming & many of the sources they list also cover tabletop games. If you have any further questions, the Teahouse is a great resource for new editors. Sariel Xilo (talk) 16:38, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
