Thanks a lot! I was really confused. AProtestantBoy (talk) 17:08, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Scar

I can't copy the link since I am on a phone now, but to see the source go to the trivia section of Scar's page on lionking.fandom.com.~2026-45445-15 (talk) 18:23, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Fandom Wikis aren't reliable sources (see WP:RS). I have checked the citation provided by the Wiki to see if it qualifies as a reliable source. Unfortunately, no. It traces back to some random sms-like message send by the individual. - AProtestantBoy (talk) 18:28, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

I know that Fandom wikis are not a reliable source, I was just directing you to the wiki so that you can see the source listed there. ~2026-45445-15 (talk) 18:31, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

I don't think an SMS like direct message should be considered worth to be a source. You might as well call Scar 'Larry'. - AProtestantBoy (talk) 18:33, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Is it possible for me to create a satirical article like WP:SLOTH or WP:PUMA, or is that just reserved for specific users instead. AProtestantBoy (talk) 19:42, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

It’s not forbidden, but Wikipedia is not social media, so as a brand new user it might be better not to. Typically such pages are made by experienced users who have paid their dues and are just letting off a little steam. Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 21:23, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
