I'm adding an additional note here to stress that all material in articles must be verifiable—meaning that it is referenced to reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy—especially material about living persons. Repeatedly reverting others' edits despite consensus, as you've been doing at Dungeons & Dragons, is considered edit warring and can lead to a block. It would probably be best if you reverted your last edit there. I understand that you probably didn't know this, which I why I'm leaving this personal message. If you have any questions, feel free to reply. Cheers! Woodroar (talk) 16:17, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to reply so I hope I'm doing this right.

I wasn't trying to start an edit war on the Dungeons & Dragons page. I kept editing a few times because I thought it wasn't working. I didn't realize that my edit was being removed because no one told me that. I'm sorry for that.

Having said that, though, can I ask why Gerard Way isn't allowed to be on the main page as one of the "famous DnD players" ? I know now (didn't know before I tried to edit) that he is listed in the link going to a bigger list but I still think he should be on the main page. He is well known and he mentions DnD all the time on his Twitter. It's verifiable.

Just a question.

Thanks for your time.

 * Good question. It's partly because the mention wasn't referenced to a reliable source, such as an interview in a reputable magazine or website, but also because he's lower profile than the others who are mentioned. We do have another list of players at Dungeons & Dragons in popular culture that is more of a catch-all, and he is listed there. Now if multiple sources talked about Gerard Way being particularly known as a D&D player, in the way that Stephen Colbert is, for example, then he could be highlighted at Dungeons & Dragons. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Cheers! Woodroar (talk) 04:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
