Why did you undo my "Curse of the ninth (symphony)" edit?

- @Skaizun: One of Wikipedia's core policies is verifiability. You must add a reliable source when adding a vast majority of sentences to Wikipedia. Without a reliable source, no one on Wikipedia—editor or reader—is able to verify whether the information is true, or deserves to be in the article. Some things are so trivial and not worth mentioning, one reason why we set the bar of inclusion for a reliable source. As well, a non-reliable source such as iMDB can easily spread false information, and shouldn't be used (read more at WP:UGC) — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 00:20, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- Not everything that is relevant has a corresponding reference, much less is widely known or otherwise verifiable. Yet, like gravity and atoms, they exist! Regardless, isn't my listing the exact episode in great detail, including the episode's minute-mark, as good as a reference, which is perfectly verifiable for anyone who deigns to view the episode? P.S. I think you'll find that IMDB tries as hard as Wikipedia to ensure the accuracy of its content; conversely, Wikipedia has a wider public perception of, for want of a better term, "fake news."

Frailty vinyl cover
You keep reverting my changes to the description of the Frailty vinyl cover by saying “the source doesn’t say that”.. well it’s an image. I am describing what is in the image, which is the vinyl cover for the album. I don’t think I need a source to say exactly what is in the cover to describe it, I can just look with my own eyes.

- @Locust member: Wasn't sure how to reply to this which explains the delay. If you think that a wordy and overly detailed description of an image, that you came up with entirely yourself, is encyclopedic and worth showing to readers, you need to seriously reconsider your understanding of the purpose of Wikipedia, and what is encyclopedic and what isn't. Relevant essays/guidlines include WP:FANCRUFT, WP:NOTEVERYTHING, WP:VNOT, WP:TMI, WP:INDISCRIMINATE. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 17:23, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
