Frequently asked questions

To view an answer, click the [show] link to the right of the question.

Q1: Can I use a particular article as a source?

A1: What sources can be used in Wikipedia is governed by our reliable sources guideline, which requires "published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". If you have a question about whether or not a particular source meets this policy, a good place to ask is the Reliable sources noticeboard.

Q2: I found a YouTube video, a post on 4chan/Reddit/9GAG/8chan, or a blog that relates to Gamergate. Can I use it as a source in the article?

A2: All sources used in the article must comply with Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources. Self-published sources cannot be used for biographical content on a living person. If such sources were used, then gossip, slander and libelous material may find its way into the article, which would a) tarnish the quality of Wikipedia's information and b) potentially open up Wikipedia to legal action. For further information, please read the guidelines for sources in biographies of living people.

Q3: Why is Wikipedia preventing me from editing the article or talk page? Why is this article biased towards one party or the other?

A3: Content on Wikipedia is required to maintain a neutral point of view as much as possible, and is based on information from reliable sources (Vox, The Wall Street Journal, etc.). The article and its talk page are under protection due to constant edit warring and addition of unsourced or unreliably sourced information prohibited by our policy on biographical content concerning living people (see WP:BLP).

Q4: The "reliable sources" don't tell the full story. Why can't we use other sources?

A4: Verifiability in reliable sources governs what we write. Wikipedia documents what the reliable sources say. If those sources are incorrect or inadequate, it is up to other reliable sources to correct this. Wikipedia's role is not to correct the mistakes of the world; it is to write an encyclopedia based on reliable, verifiable sources.
In addition, this article falls under concerns relating to content on living persons. Sources that go into unverified or unsupported claims about living persons cannot be included at all. Editors should review the talk page archives here before suggesting a new source from non-mainstream sources to make sure that it hasn't been discussed previously.

Q5: Why is it described as a “harassment campaign”? It wasn’t! At the very least the title shouldn’t use biased derogatory terminology!

A5: The overwhelming consensus among reliable sources (see Q4) is that Gamergate was a harassment campaign. Describing it any other way would be unfairly biased towards its supporters.

This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (center, color, defense, realize, traveled) and some terms may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

This article was nominated for deletion. Please review prior discussions if you are considering renomination.

Keep, 6 September 2014, see discussion.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

Misgendering?

Latest comment: 7 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The last sentence of the lede's first paragraph says: "Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu." On Zoe Quinn's page it says they're nonbinary, so I feel like the sentence could use some rewording. x RozuRozu • ^tea _cups 06:38, 5 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'm no expert here, but could we add a note that says something like "At the time, Quinn identified as a woman" or "used they/she pronouns"? Woodroar (talk) 23:43, 5 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Article looking back on gamergate

Latest comment: 3 months ago6 comments6 people in discussion

Thread retitled from Nice article looking back on gamergate.

Considering how debated this topic is, I'm not gonna add it myself, but this article seems like a nice reflection on what gamergate was. It's written by a woman fwiw. PizzaMan ♨♨♨ 12:18, 24 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Considering it's basically "It wasn't about harassment, it was about corruption in games journalism: The article" I wouldn't say it's 'nice' at all. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 12:36, 24 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not to mention it misgenders Quinn within its first few paragraphs; I'd question the reliability of the "research" from its author. nil^nz 12:51, 24 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

That website has a track record of lying. | One Reaction was here. Got a complaint? 22:14, 15 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

That website is not generally considered credible. They steal stories from other outlets and claim they're "exclusives", post rumors as fact, and sometimes flat-out make things up. Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 04:14, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
