Hello, I'm Drmies. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Buffalo Gals, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:42, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks! I THINK I just corrected those things. Sorry, I do this so seldomly it's sad! BoyScoutish (talk) 17:09, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, how do you do that so lightning fast? Was this a page you were "watching?" Thanks again. Boyscoutish BoyScoutish (talk) 17:10, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, I watch Recent changes. Please see WP:RS. None of the sites you cite are accepted as reliable sources. IMDB, Genius, they are user-generated. In addition, such websites cannot prove that the things you are adding have encyclopedic value; without that, they are pop culture trivia. Sorry. Drmies (talk) 17:34, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spin is not user generated. (Used to be called Spin Magazine as you may know.) It I'll try to look at what you've provided here later. Thanks BoyScoutish (talk) 19:11, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
