Deal Or No Deal

Hello. I restored the present tense because all articles on Wikipedia about discontinued television programmes are written in that tense. It still exists in some form after new episodes cease to be made. The Wikipedia WP:TENSE states: "write all articles in the present tense, including for those covering products or works that have been discontinued". In this case though it's especially incorrect to be changing it to the past tense because new episodes are actually due to be broadcast.-Lo2u (TC) 11:40, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Since the edit summary box is pretty small it makes things seem snippy, so I wanted to talk to you directly about why I reverted your addition. I'm not saying that HW1 (classic) didn't scale in a limited way (having hard limits on scaling up/down), though the link you posted doesn't actually say that it's primarily by adding/removing resources (just that it is in the Lost Souls level). But like I was trying to say in the edit summary, the reason that we use reliable sources, not just pseudonymous forum posts, is that it proves not only that the information is accurate but that it is considered somewhat important. If no reliable source says that the scaling is minimal, then maybe it's not a super-important fact to pass on to readers of a general-purpose encyclopedia.

Also, to be blunt, it's super-rude to half-create a reference or just pick a non-reliable one to link and then claim that someone else will fix it. Frankly no, they won't, because there aren't unlimited editors on every article, so please finish your own thoughts. --PresN 19:24, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

WP:RS is kind of long; the section that specifically mentions random forum posts not being acceptable is at WP:RSSELF (link to section of WP:RS) --PresN 19:27, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
