Reliable sources
Welcome to Wikipedia. It's important to understand that we operate here from the basis of reliable sources. We have to; it's not a choice. While primary sources can be used, they should be used sparingly. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:33, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Writing about fiction
I think it would be in your best interest to carefully read Manual of Style/Writing about fiction. The content you are now writing at Atomic Puppet relies very heavily on primary sources, which I cautioned about above. I recommend you significant trim your character descriptions and find secondary sources to sustain prose in this article. If you have questions, I would be happy to assist you. --Hammersoft (talk) 03:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

I'd be more than happy to hear your thoughts. To be honest I'm completely unsure of how to communicate using the "talk" feature though. --Bnic6 (talk) 04:13, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, first...congrats :) You just used the talk feature :) One thing on that though, when you are done with a post you make always be sure to sign your posts. You can do that by adding a " ~ " to the end of your posts. That will automatically be replaced by your username and a date/time stamp when the post completes. I've added your signature for you on the post you made here.
 * Ok, to the article and writing about fiction. The guideline I linked to at Manual of Style/Writing about fiction does a good job of talking about how to write about fiction. It can be all too easy to write incredible levels of detail, especially when you're a fan of the show. But, we're an encyclopedia. High levels of detail, most especially when such details are not written about in secondary sources, such as a news article, are generally discouraged.
 * To give you an example; the Atomic_Puppet section is a paragraph/three sentences long. The character description for the main character is itself that long; i.e. probably too detailed. None of the character description is sourced, much less to secondary sources.
 * You should consider using our best articles that write about fiction as a guide. Have a look at Featured_articles. Just a couple for reference; Blue's Clues and Parks and Recreation (season 1). --Hammersoft (talk) 14:38, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks for the help. I'm really just trying to contribute in the best way possible. Question, would a character profile on the show's website be what you'd consider a "secondary source"? Bnic6 (talk) 16:40, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
