Firaxis editing their site is very unlikely, and will take some time anyway.
I have just read the guidelines. Indeed, fansites are discouraged and I agree with this, but i wouldn't qualify mine as just a fansite, since it's the place where updated versions of the official maps and mods shipped with Civ4 (Earth Map, Earth Map Ice Age, 1000AD, Greek World) and Beyond the Sword (Rhye's and Fall of Civilization), and info in general about them, can be found. Indeed, the best place to link them would be in the text itself, rather than in the External Links.
And by the way, I've just noticed that civ4 scenarios aren't mentioned in the Civilization IV page. There were a few more scenarios provided, not only mine. I might add them all, then.
Instead, in Beyond the Sword page they are listed and briefly described, and "Fall from Heaven", which is another mod made by an external user and later become official, has its own link, pointing to its site
http://www.civfanatics.com/ffh.
What's more, it even has a dedicated paragraph (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_the_sword#Modding) which, being entitled "Modding", is misleading. It should be merged with the paragraph of the scenarios, and I should be allowed to add a few lines about mine as well, because in case I, too, have reviews to quote:

I am Rhye, the author. I've just registered with the name "Rhye20".
The updates of my works are necessary in order to be aligned to the game version. In other words, game companies provide patches to fix bugs and adjust various aspects. I do the same to the mods, and I'm forced to do that, in order to maintain compatibily with the game every time a new patch comes out. So, as for the official scenarios, their updates have to be considered official as well.
I think that scenarios were missing in Civ4 article because they were secondary compared to the huge amount of content introduced, unlike in the expansions. However, I can add a few lines both to the english page and to the italian one (I'm not a native english speaker, that's why I never bothered registering).
What's left is to decide what to do with paragraph:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_the_sword#Modding. It doesn't speak about modding: it just adds details of Fall From Heaven. I propose to merge the content in the Fall From Heaven paragraph and delete it, what do you think?.

My apologies for the intrusion on your page - I'm not familiar with wiki and I'm not sure how to communicate with you.
However, why did you revert my changes on Civilization IV and Beyond the Sword pages? rhye.civfanatics.net is a site that contains official mods and has absolute rights to be linked where I had edited.

Thanks. That MSU link looks very solid to me: 3rd party, published, reliable, etc. However, the article's phrasing would have to be changed, since this reference only supports the claim of "the longest freshwater shoreline in the continental United States" (emphasis added), not the whole world. It's admittedly a lesser claim, although the rest of the sentence could be included to add weight: "and rivals the entire U.S. Atlantic seaboard". Kevin Forsyth ( talk) 21:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Is it acceptable for me to post them on the talk page? Kotosb ( talk) 20:41, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
there doesn't need to be consensus when it has clearly been demonstrated that it passes the criteria as a source. Its not as if its about formatting, but the problem was if it valid information, and that is what was proven. Its legit, and all in good faith. The sources in question have been used before and are 100% accurate Grande13 ( talk) 15:42, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I wont revert it anymore for now, but the source is legit and has proven to be legit and reliable source while meeting wikipedias criteria Grande13 ( talk) 15:47, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
what are you questioning about the material? i've provided links to the old history pages of the episode list with the source being used and its been completely accurate. It also has met all the criteria like I mentioned as it doesn't violate any of wikipedias policies. I have a good track record and have been a main contributor and regulator of the page and I wouldn't use a source or insert information that wasn't 100 percent confirmed. I think the info on the blog is also proof in itself that it is who it claims to be as noone else has this info before it was posted there. Also when other information there was posted almost two years ago the same situation applied as the news it gave was found no where else. There is no other explanation of how someone could have come across that information unless they were tied into the show, such as the director Grande13 ( talk) 15:56, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Fox no longer has a page thats updated with any sort of episode guide resembalance, hence they moved to freakinsweetnews, they just must not have updated that part on the site, cause it used to be fan run in the beginning. And the Copyright Database is unreliable as to when information gets uploaded there as sometimes its up years in advance while other times not at all or until after it airs. A lot of people come here, and I know its not the spot for breaking news, but its also now appearing elsewhere and people should see the legit info and correct titles as if not there will be tons of vandalism here like usual as people always are adding fake things. With the truth out there it helps spread the correct information on the web and wikipedia can be seen as a reliable source for family guy and other things, as right now everyone reads things on wikipedia with skepticism as it is knowing its not true. You know there is a way for this source to slide as its not earth shattering news that has a huge effect on people. Grande13 ( talk) 16:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
your link takes me here WP:BLP#Reliable sources., then from there I go to Self-published material may be used in biographies of living persons only if written by the subjects themselves. Subjects may provide material about themselves through press releases, personal websites, or blogs. Material that has been self-published by the subject may be added to the article only if:
so by this "
Subjects may provide material about themselves through press releases, personal websites, or blogs. Material that has been self-published by the subject may be added to the article only if:
1. it is not unduly self-serving; 2. it does not involve claims about third parties; 3. it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; 4. there is no reasonable doubt that the subject actually authored it; 5. the article is not based primarily on such sources.
These provisions do not apply to subjects' autobiographies that have been published by reliable third-party publishing houses; these are treated as reliable sources, because they are not self-published."

well we need to change that sliders episode title somehow cause its pointless having the wrong title up here as its just going to add to confusion. How about you correct that one and you can leave off 7acx15 for now until its in the database Grande13 ( talk) 15:51, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Its only reliable with the initial title, over time with more and more changes to script it becomes less reliable. We might as well use freakinsweetnews as at least its not a blog and gives us a chance to post the right info as opposed to posting something we know is outdated, and the copyright database doesn't ever update old records, so its never going to change there. Why post something that you know is wrong? There is updated info available so the misleading needs to end. We might as well just change the title and keep the copyright database link then cause it can't stay how it is Grande13 ( talk) 17:20, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I got a little carried away due to the user adding in a tribute blog entry by a random Blogspot user. 69.251.135.219 ( talk) 20:29, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for finally putting a stop to 69.251.135.219 ( talk); however, I have a concern over the a misuse of the two mentioned Wikipedia articles, Mad Money and Jim Cramer. Both articles have severe vandalism problems, more specifically the "Criticism" sections that are normally frowned upon in Wikipedia. Considering that, biographies of living persons have much more strict rules for the information that can be added to them, especially from external sources such as the ones in "Criticism." I believe the criticism sections should be deleted, THEN discussed in their respective discussion pages until the issue is solved. This sort of vandalism is not tolerated in Wikipedia and therefor, it seems the removal of the criticism section immediately is not only necessary, but will preserve the rules for editing biographies of living persons. Can you help me with this? Thank you. Tycoon24 ( talk) 20:33, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Do I have your permission then to re-add the deleted Praise, but also start a discussion on it? Or, probably better due to my recent 'edit war,' if you re-added it and I can start the discussion sections? Please let me know if I'm wrong, too. It also seems like both "Criticism" and "Praise" (if ultimately allowed in the article by discussion) should also fall under the same category for "External Reviews," am I correct? Thank you so much for the help. I've really been trying to balance the Mad Money and Jim Cramer Wikipedia articles out as much I can, mainly because I know there's been some pretty bad vandalism within them for over a year now. It's like fighting an uphill battle just to create neutrality for both biographies. At any rate, let me know if this works. Thanks! Tycoon24 ( talk) 20:51, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Care to point the WP:OR, of which you were accusing me? As far as the latest episode goes, the plot consists of the guys asking him if his birth year is 1948 (and subsequently, if his age is 61) and him saying yes. Nowhere is it contradicted. Therefore, calling it an "off joke" is WP:OR as it is the character's real age according to the series. If you can prove me wrong, please do. As for "trivia/fancruft," age is a vital factor - we're not dealing with minor details like which color grass grows in his back yard... 87.69.177.35 ( talk) 16:15, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dp76764,
I have to let you know on your talk page that ArbCom has announced a temporary injunction against the "mass delinking of dates". You can still delink dates on an occasional basis; however, you may wish to be cautious and use the script only for its non-date functions until the issue is resolved by an RFC poll. You may wish to express your view on autoformatting and date linking in the RFC at: Wikipedia:Date_formatting_and_linking_poll.

You stated taking the following out for it being in a blog... "Stephen Colbert arrived in Baghdad Iraq June 5th 2009 in support of Operation Iraqi Stephen. With the help of the USO, he filmed several episodes of the Colbert report at Al Faw Palace. The palace is the headquarters for the Multi National Corps-Iraq MNC-I within Camp Victory. Stephen was welcomed by a small throng of US Soldiers awaiting him in front of the archway of Al Faw Palace in the dead heat of the afternoon. Upon his arrival, Colbert stated "This place is hotter than the Devil's balls" and suggested that it be put on a t-shirt with the potential to increase tourism to the country. "
I wrote that. I am a US Soldier assigned to MNC-I who works within Al Faw Palace, where Mr. Colbert filmed those shows. If anyone put that in a blog, it was taken from me and they are not the author. User Talk:Pianoisland

Thanks for reverting so many of the crufty addtions to various Family Guy articles. One suggestion: reversions without explanatory edit summaries are not helpful to new editors, for which FG articles are a common first edit. For example, this edit could point to WP:No original research.
A common complaint about Wikipedia is that new potential editors are driven off when they find their edits reverted immediately. While there is plenty of reason for such reversions, giving those editors half a chance is a good thing. / edg ☺ ☭ 17:28, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I notice you reverted my revision. I was actually adding back 187.112.32.99's edit that ClueBot had reverted. However, this original edit was definitely not vandalism.

Would you please give your opinion on the FA Topic Drive in the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Family Guy. Pedro J. the rookie 23:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of
edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on
Herbert (Family Guy). Users are expected to
collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing
disruptively.
Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. JJ98 ( Talk / Contributions) 20:36, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad we're starting to work out the issues in the Last Ounce article. I have no interest in an edit war with you, or anyone else. However, I have had strong frustrations with Wikipedia, in terms of editing, which is why I have no editing account. Already in this dispute, we have two Admins come in threatening blocks...over what? One of those same Admins accused me of making "unhelpful/disruptive" edits...according to whom? Blocking is supposed to be the LAST resort, not the first. This makes me want to tear my hair out.
I have certainly had this sort of thing happen before. I don't mind being edited so much, but being reverted, is frankly not a joke. It's why Wikipedia has lost thousands of volunteer editors over the past two years. Too much wikilawyering and ownership.
In my experience, this is how editing Wikipedia goes. 1. You make the edit. 2. Someone reverts it in five minutes. 3. You revert it back. 4. They call it Vandalism and revert it without a word of explanation. 5. You point out that you have added relevant information and put it back in. 6. They call it NPOV, again with no explanation, and take it out. 7. You point out you added balance and put it back in. 8. They accuse you of OR, and take it out, then block you for 3RR. The whole thing feels like a waste of time.
I once tried editing the birthdate of an artist, which was incorrect on Wikipeda, but was correctly cited on the website of the artist AND his best friend. That was called OR. Well, good God, if reading things and adding them is OR, what isn't?
I once added that a famous writer was in a music video, that was labelled Vandalism, then OR, then I got 3RR'd. Guess who told me they were in the video? The writer HIMSELF. AND...he's visibly IN the video! How else would you know??
Once gave it a shot when a wiki article accused a politician of push-polling. I put in that the paper reporting that was owned by the opposing politician's wife! I confirmed it through the state voter checklist...more OR and blocking. I didn't even remove the accusation.
Another time, the wiki bio of a famous actress listed her death location incorrectly. I know this, because...I have her death certificate. Again, vandalism, followed by OR, followed by blocking.
It's amazing anyone not already granted Admin access bothers anymore. 66.87.4.30 ( talk) 02:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
A number of the trivia items you whacked are demonstrably true. The problem is where to draw the line, as listing all the overt gags and subtleties in the movie would run for pages. My Jewish friend took one look at the Indian headband in the movie's well-known poster and said "Kosher for Passover!" The "We don't need no stinking badges!" is absolutely taken straight from Treasure of the Sierra Madre. [5] There's even an article on it: Stinking badges. And there's no question that Lili von Shtup is a parody of Merlene Dietrich. However, some of the details in the trivia section, e.g. claims of what other movies are inspirations for certain things in this one, are too obscure to be taken at face value. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:23, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Nevertheless, it's wrong to state that Terraria is the first game that he produced. It was arguably his expertise with SMBX that helped him to make Terraria so easily.

Apologies for my lacking wikipedia etiquette, as this is my first edit, but why are sentences preceding my edit like "One of the supporting characters from Frisky Dingo, Mr. Ford, makes a cameo appearance in "Drift Problem", the seventh episode of Season 3 of Archer, repeating one of his Frisky Dingo catchphrases ("My ass is everywhere.")." OK with no citation? If there's no relative or opinion language, if it were worded more simply as "In the episode "Midnight Ron," Archer says "Awww, Fat Mike too?" and the same line is spoken by Xander Crews in "Meet Awesome-X" in Frisky Dingo." I agree that would be better, but worded it as I did to match the style of surrounding edits, which I see you also removed this time.
I understand the need for sources, but as the policy about sources you linked to says "The verifiability policy says that an inline citation to a reliable source must be provided for all quotations, and for anything challenged or likely to be challenged—but a source must exist even for material that is never challenged."
My understanding of this policy is that easily verifiable, unlikely to be challenged things don't need explicit sources, but may still be relevant to the article. For example, does every line in the section that lists a shows characters need a reference to a third party agreeing they exist, or is the fact that their presence can be verified by watching the show enough?
It seems to me the source clearly exists (the primary source, the referenced episodes, satisfying verifiability) and is even mentioned. Any reasonable person who watches the two explicitly mentioned episodes is not going to challenge the similarity, so an explicit reference to secondary sources agreeing it happens is not necessary. Now while there is technically a quotation in the edit, I don't think it's the sort of quotation this rule is concerned with. This, and the other items you removed, don't need explicit citations because they are easily verified with the information provided, and a who watches the mentioned episode would want to challenge them.

Firaxis editing their site is very unlikely, and will take some time anyway.
I have just read the guidelines. Indeed, fansites are discouraged and I agree with this, but i wouldn't qualify mine as just a fansite, since it's the place where updated versions of the official maps and mods shipped with Civ4 (Earth Map, Earth Map Ice Age, 1000AD, Greek World) and Beyond the Sword (Rhye's and Fall of Civilization), and info in general about them, can be found. Indeed, the best place to link them would be in the text itself, rather than in the External Links.
And by the way, I've just noticed that civ4 scenarios aren't mentioned in the Civilization IV page. There were a few more scenarios provided, not only mine. I might add them all, then.
Instead, in Beyond the Sword page they are listed and briefly described, and "Fall from Heaven", which is another mod made by an external user and later become official, has its own link, pointing to its site
http://www.civfanatics.com/ffh.
What's more, it even has a dedicated paragraph (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_the_sword#Modding) which, being entitled "Modding", is misleading. It should be merged with the paragraph of the scenarios, and I should be allowed to add a few lines about mine as well, because in case I, too, have reviews to quote:

I am Rhye, the author. I've just registered with the name "Rhye20".
The updates of my works are necessary in order to be aligned to the game version. In other words, game companies provide patches to fix bugs and adjust various aspects. I do the same to the mods, and I'm forced to do that, in order to maintain compatibily with the game every time a new patch comes out. So, as for the official scenarios, their updates have to be considered official as well.
I think that scenarios were missing in Civ4 article because they were secondary compared to the huge amount of content introduced, unlike in the expansions. However, I can add a few lines both to the english page and to the italian one (I'm not a native english speaker, that's why I never bothered registering).
What's left is to decide what to do with paragraph:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_the_sword#Modding. It doesn't speak about modding: it just adds details of Fall From Heaven. I propose to merge the content in the Fall From Heaven paragraph and delete it, what do you think?.

Fox no longer has a page thats updated with any sort of episode guide resembalance, hence they moved to freakinsweetnews, they just must not have updated that part on the site, cause it used to be fan run in the beginning. And the Copyright Database is unreliable as to when information gets uploaded there as sometimes its up years in advance while other times not at all or until after it airs. A lot of people come here, and I know its not the spot for breaking news, but its also now appearing elsewhere and people should see the legit info and correct titles as if not there will be tons of vandalism here like usual as people always are adding fake things. With the truth out there it helps spread the correct information on the web and wikipedia can be seen as a reliable source for family guy and other things, as right now everyone reads things on wikipedia with skepticism as it is knowing its not true.

Thanks for finally putting a stop to 69.251.135.219 ( talk); however, I have a concern over the a misuse of the two mentioned Wikipedia articles, Mad Money and Jim Cramer. Both articles have severe vandalism problems, more specifically the "Criticism" sections that are normally frowned upon in Wikipedia. Considering that, biographies of living persons have much more strict rules for the information that can be added to them, especially from external sources such as the ones in "Criticism." I believe the criticism sections should be deleted, THEN discussed in their respective discussion pages until the issue is solved. This sort of vandalism is not tolerated in Wikipedia and therefor, it seems the removal of the criticism section immediately is not only necessary, but will preserve the rules for editing biographies of living persons. Can you help me with this? Thank you. Tycoon24 ( talk) 20:33, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

It also seems like both "Criticism" and "Praise" (if ultimately allowed in the article by discussion) should also fall under the same category for "External Reviews," am I correct? Thank you so much for the help. I've really been trying to balance the Mad Money and Jim Cramer Wikipedia articles out as much I can, mainly because I know there's been some pretty bad vandalism within them for over a year now.

Care to point the WP:OR, of which you were accusing me? As far as the latest episode goes, the plot consists of the guys asking him if his birth year is 1948 (and subsequently, if his age is 61) and him saying yes. Nowhere is it contradicted. Therefore, calling it an "off joke" is WP:OR as it is the character's real age according to the series. If you can prove me wrong, please do. As for "trivia/fancruft," age is a vital factor - we're not dealing with minor details like which color grass grows in his back yard... 87.69.177.35 ( talk) 16:15, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dp76764,
I have to let you know on your talk page that ArbCom has announced a temporary injunction against the "mass delinking of dates". You can still delink dates on an occasional basis; however, you may wish to be cautious and use the script only for its non-date functions until the issue is resolved by an RFC poll. You may wish to express your view on autoformatting and date linking in the RFC at: Wikipedia:Date_formatting_and_linking_poll.

You stated taking the following out for it being in a blog... "Stephen Colbert arrived in Baghdad Iraq June 5th 2009 in support of Operation Iraqi Stephen. With the help of the USO, he filmed several episodes of the Colbert report at Al Faw Palace. The palace is the headquarters for the Multi National Corps-Iraq MNC-I within Camp Victory. Stephen was welcomed by a small throng of US Soldiers awaiting him in front of the archway of Al Faw Palace in the dead heat of the afternoon. Upon his arrival, Colbert stated "This place is hotter than the Devil's balls" and suggested that it be put on a t-shirt with the potential to increase tourism to the country. "
I wrote that. I am a US Soldier assigned to MNC-I who works within Al Faw Palace, where Mr. Colbert filmed those shows. If anyone put that in a blog, it was taken from me and they are not the author. User Talk:Pianoisland

Thanks for reverting so many of the crufty addtions to various Family Guy articles. One suggestion: reversions without explanatory edit summaries are not helpful to new editors, for which FG articles are a common first edit. For example, this edit could point to WP:No original research.
A common complaint about Wikipedia is that new potential editors are driven off when they find their edits reverted immediately. While there is plenty of reason for such reversions, giving those editors half a chance is a good thing. / edg ☺ ☭ 17:28, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of
edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on
Herbert (Family Guy). Users are expected to
collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing
disruptively.
Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. JJ98 ( Talk / Contributions) 20:36, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad we're starting to work out the issues in the Last Ounce article. I have no interest in an edit war with you, or anyone else. However, I have had strong frustrations with Wikipedia, in terms of editing, which is why I have no editing account. Already in this dispute, we have two Admins come in threatening blocks...over what? One of those same Admins accused me of making "unhelpful/disruptive" edits...according to whom? Blocking is supposed to be the LAST resort, not the first. This makes me want to tear my hair out.
I have certainly had this sort of thing happen before. I don't mind being edited so much, but being reverted, is frankly not a joke. It's why Wikipedia has lost thousands of volunteer editors over the past two years. Too much wikilawyering and ownership.
In my experience, this is how editing Wikipedia goes. 1. You make the edit. 2. Someone reverts it in five minutes. 3. You revert it back. 4. They call it Vandalism and revert it without a word of explanation. 5. You point out that you have added relevant information and put it back in. 6. They call it NPOV, again with no explanation, and take it out. 7. You point out you added balance and put it back in. 8. They accuse you of OR, and take it out, then block you for 3RR. The whole thing feels like a waste of time.
I once tried editing the birthdate of an artist, which was incorrect on Wikipeda, but was correctly cited on the website of the artist AND his best friend. That was called OR. Well, good God, if reading things and adding them is OR, what isn't?
I once added that a famous writer was in a music video, that was labelled Vandalism, then OR, then I got 3RR'd. Guess who told me they were in the video? The writer HIMSELF. AND...he's visibly IN the video! How else would you know??
Once gave it a shot when a wiki article accused a politician of push-polling. I put in that the paper reporting that was owned by the opposing politician's wife! I confirmed it through the state voter checklist...more OR and blocking. I didn't even remove the accusation.
Another time, the wiki bio of a famous actress listed her death location incorrectly. I know this, because...I have her death certificate. Again, vandalism, followed by OR, followed by blocking.
It's amazing anyone not already granted Admin access bothers anymore. 66.87.4.30 ( talk) 02:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
A number of the trivia items you whacked are demonstrably true. The problem is where to draw the line, as listing all the overt gags and subtleties in the movie would run for pages. My Jewish friend took one look at the Indian headband in the movie's well-known poster and said "Kosher for Passover!" The "We don't need no stinking badges!" is absolutely taken straight from Treasure of the Sierra Madre. [5] There's even an article on it: Stinking badges. And there's no question that Lili von Shtup is a parody of Merlene Dietrich. However, some of the details in the trivia section, e.g. claims of what other movies are inspirations for certain things in this one, are too obscure to be taken at face value. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:23, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Apologies for my lacking wikipedia etiquette, as this is my first edit, but why are sentences preceding my edit like "One of the supporting characters from Frisky Dingo, Mr. Ford, makes a cameo appearance in "Drift Problem", the seventh episode of Season 3 of Archer, repeating one of his Frisky Dingo catchphrases ("My ass is everywhere.")." OK with no citation? If there's no relative or opinion language, if it were worded more simply as "In the episode "Midnight Ron," Archer says "Awww, Fat Mike too?" and the same line is spoken by Xander Crews in "Meet Awesome-X" in Frisky Dingo." I agree that would be better, but worded it as I did to match the style of surrounding edits, which I see you also removed this time.
I understand the need for sources, but as the policy about sources you linked to says "The verifiability policy says that an inline citation to a reliable source must be provided for all quotations, and for anything challenged or likely to be challenged—but a source must exist even for material that is never challenged."
My understanding of this policy is that easily verifiable, unlikely to be challenged things don't need explicit sources, but may still be relevant to the article. For example, does every line in the section that lists a shows characters need a reference to a third party agreeing they exist, or is the fact that their presence can be verified by watching the show enough?
It seems to me the source clearly exists (the primary source, the referenced episodes, satisfying verifiability) and is even mentioned. Any reasonable person who watches the two explicitly mentioned episodes is not going to challenge the similarity, so an explicit reference to secondary sources agreeing it happens is not necessary. Now while there is technically a quotation in the edit, I don't think it's the sort of quotation this rule is concerned with. This, and the other items you removed, don't need explicit citations because they are easily verified with the information provided, and a who watches the mentioned episode would want to challenge them.

Is there any way we can use it? I did source the episode. When I saw no one had changed it, I realized maybe the name was officially changed back in the records, but Meg did say her name wasn't Megan.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:37, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
I noticed that you undid my edit of Chris and Meg Griffin. While this may seem like a pointless edit, I'd like to point out in the episode "Halloween on Spooner Street" Meg and Chris are caught making out in the closet at the party. Along with that in "Dial Meg for Murder", Meg rapes Peter in the shower. If you have other reasons for undoing the edit, just reply. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RabidBadger1632 ( talk • contribs) 03:43, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I reverted your reversion on Peter Griffin's page. However, I will not engage in edit warring. I explained why I did so in the talk section. If you still feel it is a inappropriate addition, feel free to revert it again, and I won't change it back. - Xcuref1endx ( talk) 05:11, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
