[edit]
Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Madden NFL '94, 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. also see WP:FANDOM Waxworker (talk) 23:03, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Waxworker. I am working on this page for my college course's final project. Prior to my edits, I noticed that this page does not have very many cited sources for the information already included. Thus, I added some to enhance the reliability of the information. Nevertheless, I will continue to look for more sources that abide by Wikipedia's guidelines. Thanks. Destindrummond (talk) 21:54, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- The content added has some tone issues that reads promotionally - e.g. saying that the game "set a new standard for authenticity and realism in sports games as well as established the Madden series as the benchmark for football simulations" or "The success of the Genesis propelled Madden to become the definitive name in video game football" reads like an advertisement to me. Are you using ChatGPT for the content you're adding to the article? The EA 'Top 25 Features in EA SPORTS Madden NFL History' ref has a tracker for "utm_source=chatgpt.com" in the url. I recommend reading the essay WP:CHATGPT - AI generated text often has promotional tone issues and may have plausible sounding false information - AI generated content, if used, should be heavily scrutinized for accuracy. The 'Gametrog.com' ref appears to just be a product listing and doesn't seem reliable - I recommend looking over WP:VG/RS for a (non-exhaustive) list of reliable/unreliable sources related to video games. Also, a decent chunk of the development section is still unsourced. Waxworker (talk) 02:25, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- First, thank you for the feedback on the tone of my writing in the development section. This is my first time writing about a product, so I am still figuring out how to write properly for Wikipedia. Second, my sources, especially the "The EA 'Top 25 Features in EA SPORTS Madden NFL History" source, are not from ChatGPT. However, I used AI and ChatGPT to ensure my grammar and syntax were correct. I am genuinely not sure why that is within the tracker. Destindrummond (talk) 06:03, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
