Citing sources
Hi there! Really appreciate your work on the Shattered Glass articles. However, please can you be sure to cite your sources in future. A lot of Shattered Glass information comes from social media posts. Information we need to know includes... when did we find out about this? Who gave the information? In what context?
A full guide to citation can be found in Help:Citing sources. If you could take a look at it and try to use the {{citesocial}} template with future edits, that would be amazing! Otherwise, it's likely that many of your additions will be removed.
(Obviously if you're writing about what's plainly evident in published media itself, and it's clear what media you're talking about, it's not a problem.)--wadapan (talk) 04:42, 15 September 2025 (EDT)
- Yeah, of course. Are there any particular things I've added that need a source specifically? So I can go back and check. I have tried to make sure things are properly referenced, though may have missed a thing or two. The one thing I don't have any source for is the Sweep (SG) being repurposed from BotCon 2009 Scourge, I took that information from the Coalescence page, and it was uncited there. --Dinobot Scorn (talk) 10:56, 15 September 2025 (EDT)
- Regarding this, this was another thing that came from my personal correspondence with Jesse Wittenrich - which again, got lost to time when the Allspark Forums got erased for a while. Unfortunately I never wrote that stuff down but I can swear that I definitely got it from him, for as much as that's worth. Escargon (talk) 12:53, 15 September 2025 (EDT)
