Hello, I'm IsaacAndHisIsaac. I noticed that you recently removed content from Anime Expo without adequately 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; the removed content has been restored. 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. Thanks.

 * Hi IsaacAndHisIsaac, thank you for your patience. This is my first time editing a Wikipedia entry so I apologize for editing without explaining why. My reasoning for removing the content I did is such:
 * The claim that Anime Expo had attendance of "160,000 (unique); 385,000 (turnstile)" is not substantiated by any source whatsoever. The SPJA nor Anime Expo has made such announcements on any of their respective social media accounts. See:
 * https://www.anime-expo.org/blog/
 * https://twitter.com/AnimeExpo
 * https://www.facebook.com/animeexpo/
 * https://www.youtube.com/@animeexpo/community
 * https://www.instagram.com/animeexpo/
 * https://spja.org/news/
 * https://twitter.com/The_SPJA
 * Nor has any media reported such. See here:

 * https://www.google.com/search?q=anime+expo+2023+has+160000+attendees&hl=en&cs=1&biw=1920&bih=979&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A7%2F1%2F2023&ei=uGCnZICpDt76kPIPmJ6CyA0&ved=0ahUKEwiA5czcr_v_AhVePUQIHRiPANkQ4dUDCA8&oq=anime+expo+2023+had+160000+attndees&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQDEoECEEYAEoFCEASATFQAFgAYABoAHAAeACAAQCIAQCSAQCYAQA&sclient=gws-wiz-serp
 * Therefore, from what I understand about how Wikipedia works) this figure needs to be removed until a real numbers are actually provided.
 * If I am misunderstanding how Wikipedia is suppose to work (i.e. citing sources for figures), please let me know. Thank you. 172.113.96.196 (talk) 01:11, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
