Your comment on my talk page
Hello. THanks for reaching out to me on my talk page with your concerns about my recent revert of your edit. I am always happy to dialogue earnestly with any editor who takes issue with anything I have done or the way in which I have done it. However, I wanted to advise you that the manner in which you expressed yourself regarding your issue with my edits appears to violate this policy. In the future, if I may do so, I'd like to respectfully recommend that you use civility in your dialogue with future editors, and remember to comment on content, not on editors with whom you disagree. Failure to do so could create future problems with your ability to be an effective contributor here going forward.

In the meantime, in the interests of being fully transparent regarding my own conduct in this matter, I clearly explained my reason for reverting the content in question: "Reverting addition of unsourced information." If you look at the listings for the other characters in the same section, all of the information provided about those characters is verified by a reliable source that corroborates the information. We need to have such a source in relation to such content so that any additions comply with Wikipedia policies. Also, on my talk page, you further claimed thatHe has more appearances than Jack. It's not unverrified, he's credited in the actual show." Firstly, there are two "Jacks" in the show.

The first is Jack Pearson, the father of the Big Three. And there is no way that Marc has appeared in the show more than Jack Pearson, who has been in just about every show. As for the other Jack in the show, Jack Damon (the son of Kate and Toby) has appeared as an infant in every episode in which his parents have appeared since his birth. So I assume you meant that Marc has appeared in more episodes than the adult version of Jack Damon from the flash forwards. And that is another claim that would need to be verified by a reliable source if it was to be part of the character description of either adult Jack Damon or Marc.

With that in mind, with all due respect, I'd also suggest brushing up again on the relevant policies relating to editing in general and talk page comments in particular. I know that it is difficult to be a brand new Wikipedia editor and to have any content you add reverted for any reason, and I apologize if the way I reverted the change made you feel bad in any way. But I hope that you will soon become adept in contributing to Wikipedia in accordance with the policies thereof, and that my comment here can prove helpful to you in your ongoing contributions to Wikipedia. Good luck, and best wishes! --Jgstokes (talk) 10:25, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
