 * Hi,
 * Can I ask what was wrong with the addition I made?
 * Dazaster (talk) 16:05, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Of course. There are a couple of things. First is that the article is about the Konami Code and so the listed references in popular media should be notable uses of the Konami Code, as indicated by reliable sources. I expect there are quite a few entries (besides the one that you added) which should be removed--I just haven't done so yet. It's a fun topic, and so certainly understandable to want to share information about where it can be found, but Wikipedia is not always the best place. See MOS:CULTURALREFS for some examples of what should and should not be included in such lists. My second point is related to the specific manner in which you added the information; external links, which is to say the raw URL pointing to the game's page, should not be used in articles. Among other things, it gives the impression that you are attempting to direct somebody to that page and promote the game, rather than simply share information about it. I hope that helps.
