Help requested to add references to wikipedia page


Paizo General Discussion


I created a list of pathfinder books on wikipedia, but it seems the pedants there keep wanting to delete the page.

If you know of some reference to a pathfinder book (the more mainstream the better) please can you add it to the page.

Also add/fix any issue too if you feel like it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pathfinder_books

I don't understand why it is so hard to publish a list of existing books :-)

Cheers


Perhaps because the list is advocating commercial products currently available.

Edit: I did some further digging. Your list of books can't be verified by secondary sources.


I doubt it has anything to do with commercial - D&D has their list of books

"Your list of books can't be verified by secondary sources."
Not sure what you mean. I've tried adding either links to paizo or amazon and these were refused saying it doesn't prove the books exist.

I found a link for the Denver post reviewing one fo the PF books - if we can find more links like that it would help.

Did you ask the wikipedia editors about that? I have no idea what their policy on that is, but looking at other rpgs, they don't seem to have that kind of extensive publication list either, so maybe D&D is just the exception?

P.S. not quite true, both GURPS and Savage Worlds have their own lists, so I have no idea what the matter is.

Have now, before when trying to create the page I got into a argument with pedant editor. This guy seems little different so far.

Nice, quoted those articles to the wiki mod, the Savage Worlds has zero references
