User talk:MyIdea1993

May 2021
Hello, I'm FF-11. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Monopoly (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. Thank you. FF-11 (talk) 11:39, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You might want to read the guideline on adding scholarship sources found at . In most cases, it is not enough to merely cite an academic paper, particularly a thesis written by a student. There needs to be evidence it has been written about by others, such as reviews by the scholarly community or media coverage. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 18:03, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * We cannot have anybody who has ever written a thesis paper to merely post it on Wikipedia without some third party references. Is that too much to ask? Please see the reliable sources guideline. You are also making claims that imply that the publishers of Monopoly basically stole the ideas from this student. This also needs reliable sources. Be thankful that I had merely marked the sections with a message asking other editors for additional sources, instead of just deleting it outright like user FF-11 above. But you do not seem to be even happy with that. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 22:12, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks like another editor besides me has later removed it again. Including me, that now makes it three people who have problems with your edits. Please read our guidelines on verifiability. Other people need to be able to check that the information comes from reliable sources. Because anybody can edit Wikipedia, a person could also easily add misinformation and fake news. Therefore, the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Otherwise, any other editor is free to remove that material.


 * You are first asking readers to verify that some computer science student undertook a project examining Monopoly. But you only cite that project's paper. It is bad enough that you claim it was from 1993, and therefore likely an offline source that is hard for the average Wikipedia reader to verify. But you do not even currently have any other source (such as other academic journals, reviews by the scholarly community, or media coverage as per ) that someone could instead possibly look up in academic databases and search engines.


 * The second problem is that you are basically claiming that this student later shared his designs with the publishers of Monopoly, they rejected him, but then later went ahead and implemented these ideas anyway without crediting that student. These are serious accusations, and without any proof readers may not believe them.


 * Again, how do we know that this is not fake? So let me give you this advice: If you continue to add your unsourced or poorly sourced content, it will be seen as disruptive editing and you may be blocked from editing. Regards. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
