Louis,

I notice that you are still creating articles and citing to the video game itself. I'm sorry buddy but when I said stop citing to the Alpha, you then beginning to cite to the final game instead is really not acceptable. How is it possible to cite as your source a game that isn't even finished?

The entire purpose of citing is so that anyone else can go to the source and double check your work. You're not getting your information directly from the game (and nobody else has gotten their information from the final version of the game either!), so citing to the game is misleading, incorrect, and defeats the purpose. As I specifically suggested last time, wh don't you cite to the article where you're pulling all these pictures, just like you did in the Image Summaries?

Please note that this is the second time I've brought this issue up with you. Please don't ignore it; I cannot stress how important accurate citations and sources are to this wiki. It is part of our mission statement. I know you want to help here, but you're actually harming the wiki when you just ignore me and don't comply with our policies, and putting the articles you have created in danger of deletion. Thanks.
