For the edit to the battle cats it is in the game and I have played it and see it so do I sent a picture or what because I am new to this.

@~2025-32462-20: - Images uploaded to image hosting sites would be an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source - a review of the game/coverage in gaming news (e.g. IGN, GameSpot) discussing the boss or an announcement from an official source such as the developer or publisher would be suitable.

Unsourced

What do you unsourced on my edit on the Electric Company episodes? LPCDDude (talk) 20:26, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LPCDDude: - The claim that there is no "no word recap cold opening" in the episode is unsourced - reliable sources discussing this should be cited to demonstrate that its absence is notable. Waxworker (talk) 16:23, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just don't know why they just went to Hector burying the treasure. Seems like a waste to me, right? This is season 2 and most of the episodes have Jessica's five words since then. LPCDDude (talk) 12:32, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Howard Morris

This is regarding your reverting of my edit to Howard Morris.

Whay did you revert my edit? Howard Morris did provide his voice acting for the Miision: Magic Saturday morning cartoon series. He voiced Vinnie, Socks Mr. Samuels, Tut Tut, Ptolemy, additional voices. If you check the Wikipedia article for the cartoon series, whose link I provided, it will show Howard Morris among the voice cast list. It is there. All you need to do is check it out for yourself, and you'll see his name on the list. His name is also on the lists of both the IMDB pages for Howard Morris and Mission: Magic!.

I'm leaving you this message with all due respect. I simply thought that I would clear this up.Frschoonover (talk) 14:00, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Frschoonover: - The addition was unsourced - IMDB is also an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source per WP:IMDB, and a wikilink to the Wikipedia article for the show is also not in itself a source. If he is credited for the roles in the show, Template:Cite episode may be used to cite the credits themselves, but a reliable secondary source discussing the roles would be better.

Tommy Tedesco

Got your note about not adding information under the "as leader" page. Since none of the other "as leader" albums had notes, I did not think it was necessary, sorry. This album is outstanding, and I simply felt it should be included since he was the leader of this session just months before he died: https://www.discogs.com/release/11022885-Tommy-Tedesco-The-Best-For-Last

You can add it as you wish, since I do not wish to step on any toes. Or not. I'm sure the fans like myself who visit this page would want to know about this fine collection. The album was released by his family on CD Baby. Anthony Richardson (talk) 20:43, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Anthony Richardson: - Discogs is an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source per WP:DISCOGS - ideally the other entries on the article should be sourced as well, which isn't a good example to follow. If reliable sources discuss the album, it can be re-added with a citation. Waxworker (talk) 15:28, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guide to temporary accounts

Hello, Waxworker. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.

Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.

How do temporary accounts work?

Editing from a temporary account

• When a logged-out user completes an edit or a logged action for the first time, a cookie will be set in this user's browser and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created for them. This account's name will follow the pattern: ~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, year of creation, a number split into units of 5).
• All subsequent actions by the temporary account user will be attributed to this username. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser.
• A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. Users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will be able to see the underlying IP addresses.
• As a measure against vandalism, there are two limitations on the creation of temporary accounts:
  • There has to be a minimum of 10 minutes between subsequent temporary account creations from the same IP (or /64 range in case of IPv6).
  • There can be a maximum of 6 temporary accounts created from an IP (or /64 range) within a period of 24 hours.

Temporary account IP viewer user right

How to enable IP Reveal

• Administrators may grant the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right to non-administrators who meet the criteria for granting. Importantly, an editor must make an explicit request for the permission (e.g. at WP:PERM/TAIV)—administrators are not permitted to assign the right without a request.
• Administrators will automatically be able to see temporary account IP information once they have accepted the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy via Special:Preferences or via the onboarding dialog which comes up after temporary accounts are deployed.

Impact for administrators

• It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the autoblock option.
• It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
• Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this (see a video about IPContributions in a gallery below).

Rules about IP information disclosure

• Publicizing an IP address gained through TAIV access is generally not allowed (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 previously edited as 192.0.2.1 or ~2025-12345-67's IP address is 192.0.2.1).
• Publicly linking a TA to another TA is allowed if "reasonably believed to be necessary". (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward 3RR, but not Hey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
• See Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer § What can and can't be said for more detailed guidelines.

Useful tools for patrollers

• It is possible to view if a user has opted-in to view temporary account IPs via the User Info card, available in Preferences → Appearance → Advanced options → Enable the user info card
  • This feature also makes it possible for anyone to see the approximate count of temporary accounts active on the same IP address range.
• Special:IPContributions allows viewing all edits and temporary accounts connected to a specific IP address or IP range.
• Similarly, Special:GlobalContributions supports global search for a given temporary account's activity.
• The auto-reveal feature (see video below) allows users with the right permissions to automatically reveal all IP addresses for a limited time window.

• How to use Special:IPContributions
• How automatic IP reveal works
• How to use IP Info
• How to use User Info

I blanked my page. I know this won't excuse what I've done, but nonetheless, Waxworker, if you're reading this, I'm sorry for plagiarizing your page. Polavarian (talk) 20:44, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't actually remember if there is anything wrong with it. I just wanted to let Waxworker know, just to be safe. fanfanboy (block_talk) 21:14, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Polavarian: - Using others' userpages as a reference for making your own is fine, but copying my entire userpage (including content saying you've created/edited artices that you haven't) seems inappropriate to me, though I'm not sure that there's any specific policy against it. Ultimately this seems like it was in good faith, and removing the copy of my userpage resolves the matter. Category:Userbox galleries and Category:User namespace themed userbox galleries have many lists of userboxes related to various subjects that may be helpful to browse if you want to find userboxes related to your interests.

Cartoon Network Philippines Power Rangers

Power Rangers series on CN PH sources

https://web.archive.org/web/20090920031408/http://www.clickthecity.com/tv/tvnetworks.php?netid=103 WilkersonAddict (talk) 15:53, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@WilkersonAddict: - The reliability of ClickTheCity hasn't previously been discussed at WP:RSN and Wikipedia:Tambayan Philippines/Sources also has no consensus as to its reliability, but it seems fine to me as a source for Power Rangers Jungle Fury having aired on the channel, though it doesn't discuss Destroy Build Destroy or either show being "exclusive" to Cartoon Network Philippines. Waxworker (talk) 17:30, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just know that the Power Rangers series has been airing ever since in the Philippines. Because I live there. And I thought the Asian feed also have PR but it turns out only the Philippine feed has it.

Another evidence:

https://l1nk.dev/yJr6H

I also don't get why I need to have source when some of the content there don't even have sources sited. You should check that too. And as for ClickTheCity, anything before 2018 is reliable. WilkersonAddict (talk) 19:50, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@WilkersonAddict: - Can you elaborate on what the linked evidence is? I'm unable to view it as I don't directly click on links to websites I don't recognize, Archive.ph is unable to archive the link properly, Archive.org saves the link as a redirect to something else, and Archive.org links sometimes 'break containment' and open in the main browser. Other content on the article being unsourced is an issue, and not a good example to be emulated - such unsourced content may be challenged and removed at any time. Personal experience watching the channel is also WP:OR and unreliable. Waxworker (talk) 17:47, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The link is a video of a Power Rangers CN PH bumper on YouTube. I think someone from Southeast Asia should be managing this page. WilkersonAddict (talk) 18:33, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@WilkersonAddict: - Youtube is a generally unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source per WP:RSPYT, unless the channel that uploaded the video is that of a reliable source, e.g. an official Cartoon Network youtube channel. Waxworker (talk) 18:38, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lance Robertson's birth year.

He celebrated his 60th birthday this year, and also his IMBD page (which is already sourced on his article) also says that he was born in 1965 BratzGurl254 (talk) 20:44, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BratzGurl254: - IMDB is an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source per WP:IMDB - having IMDB as an external link is not the same as using it as a source. The linked instagram source only indicates birth month and day, not year, and there's no source cited saying that 60th birthday was this year. Dates of birth are a sensitive piece of personal information per WP:DOB, and must be properly sourced, or be removed. Waxworker (talk) 20:20, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If IMBD is an unreliable source, than how come it's used on this site for extended links, huh?

@BratzGurl254: - IMDB is an unreliable source as it is WP:USERGENERATED, but linking it may be fine under the external links section - see WP:IMDB-EL. Waxworker (talk) 01:33, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

still doesn't make much sense but whatever, I've given up caring BratzGurl254 (talk) 01:53, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Franco Barbi (Lupara Citation)

Is the official Outlast Trials trailer for the character sufficient citation to bring up the depiction of a lupara for the page? Still getting used to the citation system SantaCarlaResident (talk) 21:11, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SantaCarlaResident: - Per MOS:POPCULT, reliable secondary sources need to discuss the cultural impact of the appearance - "Cultural aspects of the subject should be included only if they are supported by reliable secondary or tertiary sources that discuss the subject's cultural impact in some depth". Something like an official trailer discussing the gun may be fine for the article for the game, but an official source like this is a primary source - secondary sources (e.g. something like IGN or GameSpot) discussing how important the gun is to the game and story in depth (not a few sentences or one paragraph), and how this depiction of the gun has impacted pop culture, would be suitable. Help:Referencing for beginners also has guidance regarding citing sources that may be helpful. Waxworker (talk) 17:51, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Citing an uncredited source

Thank you for correcting me, didn't know that IMDb is unreliable! But that raises a question, how can I cite a source for an actor being part of a project while they're uncredited? The only source outside of IMDb I have is... well, my own ears, clearly hearing that actor's voice which is unique enough to be identifiable. And a bunch of Reddit threads discussing it, which are obviously unreliable too. PiMoN4342 (talk) 16:40, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@PiMoN4342: - Personal analysis (WP:OR) and Reddit are unreliable as you've said - unfortunately, uncredited roles like this may not have any reliable sources discussing them. Her BTVA page doesn't appear to discuss S.T.A.L.K.E.R either. If reliable gaming news sources have discussed the roles (e.g. IGN, GameSpot, etc) something like that would be great (WP:VG/RS has a helpful non-exhaustive list of reliable/unreliable sources related to video games previously discussed by other editors), but otherwise without any reliable sources verifying this it shouldn't be on the article. Waxworker (talk) 16:50, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, thank you

Although I am confused by the presence of other items without a citation, but not gonna dig into those as they're irrelevant here! PiMoN4342 (talk) 21:18, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding my inclusion of Chisa in the video game section of Hisako Kanemoto’s article

Here are sources, included are a tweet by Kuro Games and while I’m not sure if it counts as a reliable source, Chisa’s page on Behind the voice actors website

@HydrantPedestrian: - The official tweet would be fine as a reference - Help:Referencing for beginners has guidance regarding citing sources that may be helpful. BTVA is a generally reliable source per WP:BTVA, but the role isn't marked as verified with a green checkmark, and shouldn't be used in this case.

W.A.R. for Acorn Atom

Hi, I learnt how to add references to wikipedia and readded the Acorn Atom version to W.A.R. If you can check if I did it right, I would appreciate the help! AirHistorianUK (talk) 07:41, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AirHistorianUK: - You added the citation correctly, though wikis are an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source as anyone may edit them, and they shouldn't be used as a reference. WP:VG/RS has a (non-exhaustive) list of reliable/unreliable sources related to video games that have previously been discussed by other editors, and Archive.org has many magazine scans that may be helpful.

IABotManagementConsole [1.3]

Hi, I saw your edits using the IABotManagementConsole [1.3] tool. Can you please teach me how to use this tool? How can I install this? Avidanalyst (talk) 00:03, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Avidanalyst: - IAbot may be used by clicking on "Fix dead links" in the page history of the article you want to run the bot on, and then when it's finished running you can open the archive links added to double check that they work, and replace them with working archives/remove bad archives as needed. IAbot works erratically and frequently has a a high delay of several hours or days, which in my experience generally leads to the tool not running on the page at all and timing out. At the time of writing, it currently isn't working, atleast for me. Waxworker (talk) 02:23, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. Avidanalyst (talk) 18:02, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to founders of Alias Systems

Hello, I have tried to add my name to the list of founder of Alias Systems, and I see that you have undone my edits a couple of times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alias_Systems_Corporation

Please advise on how I can make this change stick. I was a founder of Alias Research (which became Alias Systems). I added as evidence the incorporation documents from the Province of Ontario. Let me know what's needed to keep my name as the list of founders. OptionalParameter (talk) 23:45, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@OptionalParameter: - Please see WP:COI - directly editing articles related to subjects you have personal involvement in is discouraged, and making edit requests on the talk page is the preferred avenue. 'uncleleosmixeddrinks.com' doesn't appear to be a reliable source, and neither is Google Drive as content on file sharing sites is WP:USERGENERATED. In this case, I've reviewed some of the other sources already on the article and Computer Graphics and Computer Animation: A Retrospective Overview discusses your involvement - I've added an in-line citation under the 'History' section and re-removed the Google Drive reference, as content in the infobox doesn't need to be cited if it is referenced in the body of the article. Waxworker (talk) 17:41, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes look great - thank you for doing this. OptionalParameter (talk) 18:49, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ansley Wilcox

Sorry just re your comment on my talk page I did leave a source which was the book the "Power Broker" by Robert Caro. Would you prefer I use the primary source cited within the book or change the format of the citation. Just was unsure of the issue. Thanks! CraigGoodwin1 (talk) 13:30, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CraigGoodwin1: - Much of the added content is unsourced, e.g. "Moses wrongly and maliciously accused Wilcox of corrupt practices concerning Wilcox's method of garnering assistance from Paul A. Schoellkopf, head of the Niagara Falls Power Company to purchase parcels of land when they went up for sale so they could be ensured for park use", and the content was originally added by a blocked sockpuppet, Theodore Larson 1961, who has previously added content not in the cited sources, so the content is suspect. Can you quote specific sections that support the content added? Waxworker (talk) 13:45, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok will do sorry CraigGoodwin1 (talk) 13:58, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have quoted specific pages for the content added from the powerbroker as the primary source. Also added some supplementary citations to support this primary source. please let me know if there is anything else I can/should do to improve this edit.

Thanks! CraigGoodwin1 (talk) 14:24, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CraigGoodwin1: - Can you quote specific portions of the book that support the content using the 'quote=' citation parameter - also everything is sourced to page 254, is this correct? The 'fundinguniverse' ref doesn't appear to mention Schoellkopf, land being used for parks, Wilcox, or Robert Moses. What is this reference being used to support in the sentence it's cited for? Waxworker (talk) 14:34, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry will remove fundinguniverse ref you are probably right was just citing the foundation of the company which was relevant to the creation of the park. Also how do I make it so that each reference is a different page I think I was just using the reuse citation then changing the page for each one not knowing it changed the page for all of them lol. CraigGoodwin1 (talk) 14:39, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CraigGoodwin1: - Help:References and page numbers has guidance regarding citing different page numbers for the same reference, but in this case I believe that just duplicating the citation and changing the page numbers would be apt as separate citations would be required for having different quoted sections in the citations. Waxworker (talk) 14:44, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I changed the page numbers to be correct but I genuinely have no clue how to use quote=. I went to both quotations and citing sources help pages but couldn't work it out and every time I used it on the edit source page it just wouldn't work as I intended it to. Sorry. CraigGoodwin1 (talk) 14:56, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CraigGoodwin1: - 'Quote' is a parameter in Template:Cite book and wouldn't work in citations that aren't using the cite book citation template - I see that some of the added citations are not using it, which may be the issue. Waxworker (talk) 15:01, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I did this and included specific references to the book with excerpts

@Rohan Hordern: - The BBC reference indeed verifies the content added and is fine as a source, though the citation is a bare url - ideally citations should be formatted to have additional reference information such as title, date published, etc that may be helpful to readers and to help mitigate WP:LINKROT concerns. Help:Referencing for beginners has guidance regarding citing sources that may be helpful, and WP:BAREURL discusses concerns tied to bare URLs. Waxworker (talk) 15:16, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Determining a poor source

I thought my source was really good for Mio Mao. Fandoms are surpringly reliable, especially for outdated media, like old, obscure shows. But I do understand the unfortunate part where the Fandom page doesn't list their sources. Is that why it's a bad source? Can it not be considered an original source?

Just fun questions. You seem to know a LOT and I learn best via application and discussion. Bgmenconi (talk) 10:50, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgmenconi: - Fandom wikis, and wikis in general, are an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source as they are edited by users who could write anything, regardless of veracity. Fandom in particular has repeatedly been discussed at WP:RSN - see WP:FANDOM. Wikis may be a helpful resource for casual use, but cannot be relied upon as a source.

Berwick Saga translations removed

You removed information that there are 3 translations for the game Berwick Saga while saying Forums are not reliable neglecting the fact that these kind of ROM hack translations are released in forums and these release threads of each translation was linked as reference so you could instantly see when it was released. Now I ask you which source could possibly be more reliable regarding a ROM hack translation than the official release thread? And please reestablish the changes you have deleted. Thanks. ~2025-42324-42 (talk) 19:20, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@~2025-42324-42: - MOS:VGSCOPE #12 discourages listing unofficial translations unless independent reliable sources like gaming news sites have covered it (e.g. IGN, GameSpot) - WP:VG/RS has a (non-exhaustive) list of reliable/unreliable sources related to video games that have previously been discussed by other editors that may be helpful. Primary source WP:USERGENERATED forum threads are unreliable, and don't show that the translations are notable. Waxworker (talk) 02:51, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is literally a fan translation mentioned of Tear Ring Saga on the same page and it doesnt have a reference at all as far as I can tell. I just expanded on this idea. Why didnt you delete this too? Well, I dont think you should because Japan-exclusive titles having translations is relevant to the readers in general. As far as the forums are concerned I think you're taking it too far with your bad source claim since this is about whether or not my claim is true and proveable. The release pages should be more than sufficient since you can not only verify the date but also download the file there. But if you still think that's not enough I could provide Fire-Emblem news websites who mention the release although that would be a secondary source while the primary source is more reliable. ~2025-42453-10 (talk) 23:43, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@~2025-42453-10: - Fansites are generally unreliable sources - see WP:VG/RS's section on fansite sourcing. The mention of the 2012 fan translation on the article was sourced to this article from Retro Collect, which appears to be a WP:BLOG (the site's staff page only lists one person and every news post on the site appears to be attributed to them despite the page discussing a small team) - I've removed it as it does not appear reliable. The claim that that it was completed in 2016 was also unsourced. If reliable sources do not discuss the translation, it should not be discussed on the article. Waxworker (talk) 21:37, 23 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, at least you are being consistent, however imho you are doing the users a real disservice here by removing correct and useful information. Fan translations are being released on forums and fan sites mostly. The information that they exist to Japan-exclusive games are pure gold for players who don't speak Japanese. And then saying that the official release page is unreliable information because it's a forum or fan-site is pushing the source claim to absurdity. The creators of the translations themselves post information on who did it, when, how and give preview pictures and a download to the respective translation. What more proof do you need that they exist? Do you want the president of your country to officially announce it? Everybody who had the links I had provided to the respective translation could within a few minutes effortlessly prove the existence of said translation to upmost certainty. The files themselves contain ReadMe text files which also confirm the dating, and obviously the files themselves are proof of their existence. Therefore I think you should reconsider or consult a fellow admin about this. ~2025-42723-43 (talk) 11:25, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@~2025-42723-43: - I believe that MOS:VGSCOPE is clear in this regard - a wider discussion to change it could be raised at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games or Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Video games. Even if something is true, it shouldn't be added to an article if no reliable sources have discussed it - see Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. I'm confused by what you mean by "fellow admin" - I am not an administrator. Waxworker (talk) 17:18, 26 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Alympia.Ninan: - Additions such as "Thermo Ionic Lining Technology" were unsourced - I think that the 'Materials' section in general should be removed due to being unsourced, and I don't think that a long list of materials is helpful to the subject of winter clothing in general, and would be better addressed in prose. Waxworker (talk) 17:19, 26 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

These insulators and liners are common knowledge for winter jackets and clothing. These are the big brands and what they are doing proprietary.

Source for entry on Junkie XL Game list

Hi @Waxworker thanks for drawing my attention to not citing the source. Initially, I wanted to cite a source but I realized that the other game lists did not have sources so I didn't know whether where the proper placement would be. Aside that, which would be a more reliable source? There are the audio files on archive.org. There are also entries of this track as part of SSX 3 soundtrack track list on Genius. Other wikis also say this song was part of the game list as I did see also see the track name in the game itself (but I understand this can be questioned). But I don't know what would be the best one to use as viable source that will be accepted. Can you help me out please? Ken Stacks (talk) 01:08, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kendrick Carrey: - Genius is a questionable source per WP:GENIUS - generally in my experience games with a lot of licenced music like this have articles with soundtrack lists published by reliable gaming news sources (e.g. IGN or GameSpot), but the only article like this I found from IGN doesn't mention his involvement or Emerge. The only reliable source I could find mentioning Junkie XL's remix of Emerge being in the game is this article from GamesRadar, which is a reliable source per WP:VG/RS (a list of reliable/unreliable sources related to video games previously discussed by other editors) - I've re-added SSX 3 to the article using it as a ref. For future reference, Help:Referencing for beginners also has guidance regarding citing sources that may be helpful. Waxworker (talk) 21:04, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
