Hello, I'm Lord Belbury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Shithead (card game), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. House rules are already mentioned later in the article. Lord Belbury (talk) 11:24, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Shithead (card game), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. POLITANVM talk 18:49, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Sir, Madam,

I do not understand why the sources are deemed unreliable. This is a set of rules which is played and known in various countries. The Youtube video shows exactly how these rules are applied to the game and proves the popular aspect of this particular version of the game.

 * It's not that the sources are unreliable, it's that you're adding big statements (that adding 7s and 8s is called "strat-rules", that this is the most popular way of playing the game, that it is played this way in four specific countries) that aren't mentioned by these sources. The two main sources of Pagat and Parlett describe the basic game as having special rules for just the 2s and 10s, and the Shithead_(card_game) section mentions variants like yours, which vary from place to place. --Lord Belbury (talk) 10:23, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

If I modify the things you just mentioned will it be acceptable? For example, I’ll remove the strat-rules mention, I wont mention that its the most popular way and I will delete the country part. MichelPhotiades (talk) 11:55, 7 February 2021 (UTC)


 * If any of that isn't already covered by the "Alternative rules" section, sure, feel free to add it there. --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:01, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
