Citing content

Hi Snowbird294 - I was asked to weigh in on the content dispute over the attendance figures. Esw01407 is correct in that all content of this nature should be accompanied by a reliable source that explicitly backs up the claim made in the article. In this situation it looks like you were citing an attendance figure that is not listed on the Anime Cons website. This content was challenged and removed by Esw01407, which they were in the right to do.

The reason for this is that without a source that explicitly backs up the claim, we have no way of knowing whether or not the numbers were legitimate or not or even whether or not you are who you claim to be. We've unfortunately had people claim to be people they are not and upload false information, sometimes deliberately sometimes not. For example, I had someone upload false concert information for a singer claiming that she was a close friend and assistant of the performer, only for the information to be false.

What we need in this situation are sources that explicitly state the content in the article. Since you are someone involved with the convention to one degree or another, you may be in a good position to get the content uploaded to places that *could* be used. Ideally the information would be in a secondary source like a news article, but a primary source like a page on the official website that states the attendance figures or even a social media post on a verified account for the convention would do. The social media post would be the least preferable option, but it could likely do. Unfortunately until then, we can't have the information listed.

Tokyogirl79 It was never mentioned or made clear that an edit to our webpage adding in our historical numbers would be sufficient. We assumed that we could edit the wikipedia page since we were a primary source. Our website will show an update likely within the week to show our attendance numbers. --Snowbird294
