PlasStation 1 surse și dovezi pentru modele

Aceasta (albalog.blog.hu) este o sursă de încredere. Al Balog a văzut câteva zeci de console PlayStation și le-a cules de 30 de ani. El este cea mai bună sursă de informații despre modelul PlayStation. De asemenea, a văzut sute de modele PlayStation pe eBay în timpul cercetărilor sale. La fel și mulți dintre ei în persoană. Cred că trebuie să faci cercetări despre cine este editorul. Cred că este de încredere și am făcut referințe încrucișate la materialul său.

Sunt român szekler, deci pot să citesc în maghiară. În fiecare lună se termină o dată de consolă, următorul model este produs în aceeași lună din câte pot citi. De exemplu, 7501 a apărut în august 1998, iar ultimul model 7001 a apărut în august 1998. Îmi este ușor să citesc dovezile lui Al Balog. Iată informații despre autor în limba engleză.

@Patrula JPEG Hi, I'll need you to communicate in English here on Enwiki as I cannot read Hungarian and machine translation may not be reliable. Doing my best with machine translate, no, albalog.blog.hu is NOT a reliable source by English Wikipedia standards, per WP:BLOG. Could you explain how you came about this topic? You are not the editor I reverted. At PlayStation (console) I reverted the addition of https://albalog.blog.hu/2023/11/06/ps1_modell_gyujtemeny_gyartasi_orszag_szerint as a source for changing the year of discontinuation. This page makes zero claims of discontinuation. It simply displays the labels of several models without any commentary on when they were produced (other than when those specific units were, as per their label), or when production ended. This is extremely disruptive, and you need to stop reintroducing it. -- ferret (talk) 22:39, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

I am trying my best to write in English. I was recently rebuying a PS1 console and I did research on the models. The guides of Al Balog helped me pick out the right ones in the past. The images clearly shows and highlights the label dates. As a Hungarian reader the left labels in a picture is a first batch, the second is a last batch. Each image continues like a chain. For example, from his pictures August 1998 to May 1999, that is when the 7500 begins and ends. And seeing the 9000 beginning in May 1999, it is clear to me that is when the 7500 ends because its label says the same.

I agree that PlayStation (console) is to be reverted because I do not see any claims of discontinuation either. But as for the batch production dates and countries made on the PlayStation models page, the source applies to that well.

I bought most recently a 7500 machine from May 1999 that had no back label. I could only see 5 dots and a 99 under the lid. I was surprised seeing a 7500 machine that late and I thought it was a replaced shell from a 9000. Al Balog's information with the label confirmed my find of the 7500 machine that it existed.

@Patrula JPEG This blog is not a reliable source for use on Wikipedia, and original research regarding model numbers and their date of production is not suitable for claims for first and last manufacture. I again would like to ask how you noticed me cleaning up this bad source and original research? -- ferret (talk) 23:00, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Suspicious edits (of the copyright and promotional kind) on Full-face diving mask

Hey ferret! A user reached out to me on my talk page about suspicious editing activity to this article. The edit includes odd content removal, and also what seems to be a potential advertising issue and copyright violation. Here's the link to the discussion on my talk page for more details. This stuff is out of my expertise, but I've rolled it back for now, and wanted you to know just in case if anything else needs to be done besides just a warn. Panini! • 🥪 00:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

@Panini! It does look promotional. Give them a COI notice and let's see if it continues. -- ferret (talk) 00:38, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

DreamDoll (musician) should be moved to DreamDoll but protection is in the way

She recently got fame, and has a full page. How about we remove the protection on the original title, which is DreamDoll, so we can move the current article to there? It would make the title easier to read. While there are two pages with the same name, the other being Dream Doll, they already have disambiguation links to each other. AbsentPat (talk) 23:40, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

@AbsentPat WP:RM/T would be able to handle this. At the moment I don't have time to evaluate. -- ferret (talk) 01:07, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

rollbacks

As rollback my edits, do you want to continue discussion on a talk pages of this articles? Tucvbif (talk) 18:16, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

@Tucvbif You'll have to be specific about which edits or article. But if you have edits you make and they are contested, yes, you should go to the talk page to discuss them. -- ferret (talk) 22:56, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

It's just what I did. What's next? Tucvbif (talk) 18:50, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

@Tucvbif I honestly don't know what you're talking about... is it about PC game? You added citation needed tags to several statements in the WP:LEDE. Those statements are all sourced in the body of the article and are uncontroversial, so per WP:LEDECITE, don't need a source in the lede itself. That is the only thing I can guess you are referring to from your recent contributions. What is there to discuss? -- ferret (talk) 20:28, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

At first — about Steam Deck. Tucvbif (talk) 08:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) If you've got things you want to talk about, then just go to the respective talk page article and start up a new discussion. It doesn't need to be so drawn out like this. Go to Talk:Steam Deck (or whatever/wherever else you want to discuss) and click on the "new section" option and get started. Sergecross73 msg me 13:37, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

But section, that I need, is already exists. Tucvbif (talk) 09:21, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
