Hello, I'm LizardJr8. I noticed that you made a change to an article, EverQuest, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. LizardJr8 (talk) 23:04, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Adding fan-page content, edit warring
Hello Copplejappy1927, When I first edited the EQ page many years ago, I also tried to insert some very important and interesting information about the game. However, those edits were not appropriate for WP, and they did not remain in the encyclopedia.

There are a number of requirements for content to stay... 2 of them are that it must be notable, it must have a reliable source wp:RS; and it must be encyclopedic, which is more complex... in this case WP is not a fan site, so the current player guild statuses are not appropriate. For one thing, they would be accurate only in the opinion of some of the players, and they would essentially always be out of date. Edit to add: there are plenty of websites that track guild/clan/family status for the many, many great games out there today.

It is very important that we avoid wp:edit war. 3 different editors have removed the addition. Please don't add it again, as it will simply be deleted.Shajure (talk) 18:01, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
