[edit] Palladium v. Palladia

I removed the call for citation; I can't link to one, but I do have my 2001 contract for Mysteries of Magic where Kevin tells me not to use it. Point 2 is "Please don't use the term Palladia. We prefer the 'Palladium World.'"---Mr. Nexx 20:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Odd set of edits

I just went in and removed several bits where someone had put in some home-brewed creations... a race called the Aethondruil, and entered them as if they were part of the world. ---Mr. Nexx 04:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of Uncited Sources Tag

The list of sources is synonymous with the supplements for the game, as familiarity with the role-playing genre will tell you. It is sufficient for wikipedia's needs, unless you see some need to challenge the information therein---Mr. Nexx (talk) 04:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

One might assume the obvious answer is that Terraxos (talk · contribs) did object to these articles having zero references when he tagged them as being {{unreferenced}}. Since no references were added, I reverted the deletion of the maintenance tags. --Kralizec! (talk) 21:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

The SG "says that attribution is required for 'direct quotes and for material that is challenged or likely to be challenged.'" Sources are specifically required when "When adding material that is challenged or likely to be challenged", "When quoting someone", "When adding material to the biography of a living person", "When checking content added by others", "When uploading an image". None of these has been established as being the case; Terraxos (talk · contribs) didn't provide any indication of what felt was material that was a direct quote, was being challenged, or was likely to be challenged. In the case of Rifts there are links to outside reviews because, as a more controversial game, it has more need of references beyond the supplements of the game. Unless someone can point to what needs third-party sourcing in the article, the maintenance tag is removed. ---Mr. Nexx (talk) 06:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

As noted in Wikipedia's official policy on verifiability, "if no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." The {{unreferenced}} tag informs interested parties that the article in question currently has zero references and could be improved with their inclusion. In their current state, all the parts lacking citations (which would be everything) could be trimmed away. Rather than see the articles trimmed down to mere stubs or even just deleted, I would much rather have them tagged as being in need of referencing. --Kralizec! (talk) 11:48, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
