Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kim Mai Guest, 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Waxworker (talk) 21:34, 25 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello. Sorry if I messed up, I'm new to this. I didn't provide a reliable source because I'm not sure if game credits count. I found her name mentioned there and the game doesn't have that big of a female cast (3 or 2 actresses I'd say) so it wasn't that difficult to deduce she's behind the voice acting of Black Lotus.

 * If no reliable sources discuss the role and the credits themselves don't specify a role, deducing the role played is WP:OR. Waxworker (talk) 21:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
 * What about the IMDb? Black Lotus is listed there as a character she voiced. Sgt.McHale (talk) 16:11, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * IMDB is an unreliable source per WP:IMDB as it is WP:USERGENERATED. Waxworker (talk) 20:55, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, she did do voice acting for the game, her name is credited in the voice actors section. Can't you add it back but instead of Black Lotus, just write "Additional Voices" or "Unknown"? Sgt.McHale (talk) 16:25, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I think I'll add back what you removed, there's almost 20 roles in the video games section that don't cite a source. What makes my previous edit any different from them? Sgt.McHale (talk) 11:48, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Minor edits
You reverted my last edit at Adventure Consultants and marked this edit as "minor". This message isn't about the spelling; it is about marking the edit as minor. Please note that Wikipedia has a special meaning of "minor edit" and you can read about it at Help:Minor edit. Your revert was the exact opposite of a minor edit. TL:DR – simply do not tick the minor edit box until you have read and understood the guidance on this matter.  Schwede 66  00:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I don't remember reverting your last edit. I simply edited the newer iteration of the article.
 * According to Help:Minor, A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, corrections of minor formatting errors, and reversion of obvious vandalism. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute.
 * A good rule of thumb is that edits consisting solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of the content should be flagged as minor edits.
 * That's why I ticked the Minor edit box, because A) I just changed a letter and B) I didn't revert your edit. If I did actually revert it, sorry. Sgt.McHale (talk) 22:12, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I do not believe you, I'm afraid. The reason I don't believe you is that you used the following edit summary with your edit, and that clearly tells me that you deliberately changed the spelling back to what you thought is right: I've read the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Spelling thingie, It's written as commercialization in the Oxford spelling. I'm not sure why did you undo my edit. I'm under the impression that the article title is the preferred spelling to be used, I could be wrong. Please don't lie when dealing with other editors.

 * Believe what you will. And I'll say it again, I don't remember reverting your last edit. Besides, didn't you say your message wasn't about the spelling but rather marking the edit as minor? What does the spelling have to do me ticking the Minor Edit box? "Please don't lie when dealing with other editors" Sure, and please don't accuse them of lying because you don't want to believe them. Sgt.McHale (talk) 22:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Correcting spelling is a minor edit. Reverting another editor, when it's clearly controversial as opposed to undoing vandalism, isn't a minor edit.  Schwede 66  00:05, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thrice I said it, I don't remember reverting your last edit. And I already said it up there that "if I did actually revert it, sorry". What more do you want, kisses on the hand and begging for forgiveness? I think one sorry should suffice. Sgt.McHale (talk) 02:16, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll try to explain it more clearly. You said that you cannot remember that you reverted me. In the edit summary that refers to that revert, you explain why you changed the spelling back to "ize". Your two statements are in direct contrast to one another; only one of them can be true. But it's ok; I regard the issue as sorted.  Schwede 66  02:28, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * What I said in the edit summary is irrelevant to whether or not I reverted your edit. I'll say it for the fourth time, I can't remember if I reverted you OR edited the latest version of the article instead. If it's the latter, then I think it DOES NOT go against the rules in Help:Minor edit, which is what this conversation is all about. Sgt.McHale (talk) 02:59, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
