Hey there, thank you for your contributions at List of Persona 5 characters. I highly suggest you read Wikipedia's guidelines on reliable sources. I noticed you've been listing Behind the Voice Actors and other unreputable blogs. They are not considered reliable sources, especially since Behind the Voice Actors relies on fan submissions for content and can be inaccurate. (Their Twitter profile even says that they aware they are missing information.) If necessary, feel free to use dialogue from the game itself as a source. lullabying (talk) 20:21, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Lullabying:. I'd like to thank you for your efforts of improving the article above, which I created, I appreciate the hard work you've done. I was simply re-adding in the source that was dead after some of your edits, as I knew there were other parts of the article that referenced that source. If it is an unsuitable reference, feel free to change it to something more descriptive.
I must admit, I have very little knowledge of how to cite video games, I've read a bit on it, but it simply doesn't make a great deal of sense to me. I hope at least some of the base article work that I did is of use to you. Lee Vilenski(talk) 20:39, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Some kudos

| For great work in both creating new articles on missing cue-sports-simulator video games of note, like Virtual Pool 4, and working up poor, old stubs into Start-to-B-Class articles in the same category. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 19:29, 13 December 2017 (UTC) |

Pool VGs
If you plan to work on pool/snooker/billiards video game articles some more (great work on Jimmy White's 2: Cueball, BTW), I would love to direct your attention to the Virtual Pool franchise; a "new" one, VP4, has been out for several years now but we have no article on it, and we're missing articles on some earlier ones, while the ones we do have a rather skeletal. I'm a Mac user, so Windows and console games are outside my orbit. PS: If you're into the billiardistical arts generally, please check out WP:WikiProject Cue sports and WP:WikiProject Snooker. If you're more of a VG-focused editor, you'll probably want to participate in WP:WikiProject Video games if you are not already. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 14:06, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @SMcCandlish:! Thanks for letting me know. I am already currently a member of the VG WikiProject, as I do update and create video game articles. I'll have a look at the Virtual Pool 4 game and see if I can't create an article, or colaboration on it; I think I even have it sat on my steam at home.
I do update Snooker articles (Such as Sunny Akani and Alan McManus), but I'm still debating whether or not it's a good idea to join the WikiProject. My main area of expertise is Professional Wrestling, so I don't really want to stretch myself too thin. I'll let you know should I make a new article for the above. Many thanks for your comment. Lee Vilenski(talk) 14:55, 12 December 2017 (UTC)- Most welcome! I think Talk:Virtual Pool 3 and Talk:Virtual Pool may have some source links on VP4; I remember finding some stuff on it, and it's mentioned as a sequel at the VP3 article, with a source or two. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 15:03, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @SMcCandlish:, I'm sure you're super busy, but thanks for your pointers here. I've done some work on the whole series, so each of the articles should be in a significantly better position, and I also did Virtual Snooker, Virtual Pool 2 and Virtual Pool: Tournament Edition as well. It's a fun series, and I started playing VP4 the other day. It's good fun, even if the Snooker is really difficult to play. Lee Vilenski(talk) 14:16, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for all that article work! I didn't even know Virtual Snooker existed as a separate game. I did have a good time with VP3 back when it first came out. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 15:31, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
- @SMcCandlish: I was absolutely shocked that Steve Davis and Ronnie O'Sullivan were involved as well! I played the original the other day, as I found a free copy, and it still feels like it has tight controls. Lee Vilenski(talk) 16:03, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
