Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Daria Kinzer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page German.

May 2024[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Back to the Future Part III, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. GSK (talk • edits) 01:22, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's two obvious facts in the respective movies, so the movies themselves are the sources. And I only mentioned the two facts, I didn't imply anything about whether this was intentional or not. I feel it would seem even more hilarious if it would actually be identified somehow as a pure coincidence. Regardless of which, they are two solid facts, and would seem an interesting add-on to the other source-provided connection. But just mentioning it is not okay as far as it doesn't seem to ever have been mentioned online somewhere?

I see at the Wikipedia page for "Time After Time" that at least three sources has noted the "mirroring" thing but apparently all have missed the tidbit with the train ticket salesman saying "San Francisco is the end of the line", which seems just unbelievable. I reacted to it already by the summer of 1990 when the movie was new. I don't remember how soon I did. I made sure to hurt my wallet as to watch it seven times in theaters, just as I had with part two. (I was 21 then.)

But if I have to begin with contributing to this being mentioned in some context that will be counted as an approved source by Wikipedia, I guess I have to do just that. What must that be, and what can't it be, really? I've never seemed to get that... Pemer (talk) 02:05, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I went through my own list of editing trivia, goofs etc on IMDB, and was reminded that I had indeed entered this "San Francisco is the end of the line" bit there, and saw now that had been accepted, and is among the trivia about the movie there. The date of this contribution of mine is July 25 last year, I assume that is when I posted it. Can that be a valid source? Pemer (talk) 21:13, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB is not considered a reliable source. GSK (talk • edits) 04:10, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I almost figured that...

And exactly what can be? An article in a web magazine with an Editor in chief that... something, or where do the lines go?

It's so unusual with such an uncontroversial just added basic fact, which is in no way about implying anything more than the "mirroring" thing that already is mentioned and has given sources.

The fact that the 20th century segment of the older movie is set in San Francisco is obvious from the Wikipedia page about that movie itself.

And the line about San Francisco being the end of the line is actually posted online here: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/16d533f7-6e02-4f7f-a009-3567d5e70675

I don't know what kind of website this is. It feels like a dead give away that it's bound not to be a reliable source, neither. ;) Pemer (talk) 04:42, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This would be a good place to start to learn what qualifies as a reliable source and what does not. Because getyarn.io is a website with user generated content, it would not be considered reliable. GSK (talk • edits) 04:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
