[edit] Re: My problem

Apparently you don't, because if you did, you would know that WP cannot be cited as a source, and you must list a 3rd party source as a reference to include the information. A video site is not a 3rd party source, a newspaper or magazing however, would be.— Dædαlus^T@lk / Improve\ ^Contribs 03:04, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Even more so, you've been editing here for all of 2 days. I hardly believe you know every policy and guideline here, especially considering your behavior.— Dædαlus^T@lk / Improve\ ^Contribs 03:06, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Screw it, add the info back in if you want, I won't remove it, but I don't advise it. I'm too tired to do anything more.— Dædαlus^T@lk / Improve\ ^Contribs 03:34, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I will see if Ricki still has her page on her site about this, there isn't too much information on this version anyhow, the overseas version of Gameshow Marathon has much more information, but that is unrelated to ours. You sure seem to be a stickler about 3rd party infomation. Nothing wrong with that, but half this encyclopedia would need deleted if that policy were enforced 100% of the time.

I don't know if this is my last edit today or not, I really feel like crap, I'm all shakey. Probably has to do with lack of sleep and food. Anyway, although on some subjects I can be a deletionist(instead of trying to find sources, I delete the edit) ... I don't know where I was going with this, but I do know it had something to do with the fact that it depends on the user, and sometimes, said user shall go and search out for sources. I can't think straight. Goodnight for now maybe. Sometimes I can be a wikiholic.— Dædαlus^T@lk / Improve\ ^Contribs 04:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Sounds kind of serious, and no harm meant in my comments. It just seems some people get trigger happy on here, and I didn't realize you were going for quality, I thought you were a troll at first. Anyhow, I feel your pain, I sometimes wonder if I need to take a day or two off the computer altogether. We have become so addicted to technology, I sometimes wonder if it is even worth the hassle. LOL. Seriously, you might need a day or two downtime, and I'll be on vacation in a few weeks myself, I don't know if I am taking with notebook computer with me or not.
