Sources[edit]

Many of the sources seem to be interviews... here's the list of sources:

1: Doesn't seem to fall under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_IMDb

3: Interview Wikipedia:Primary sources

4: OK source, I would think.. exept Gavin Casalegno isn't mentionned a single time in the article?

7: Interview

8: Interview, although it looks like the relevant part is outside of the interview, so I think this source is OK for the first paragraph.

12:Youtube interview

13:Interview

14:Youtube Q&A, primary source

15:A high school journal, but it's about his attendance, so I think it's OK.

25:Interview

26:OK, but I feel that a better source may be available?

27: The source's reliability is questionned, according to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 335#Distractify

Since many sources are doubled or tripled, I may just clean up a few. Primary source are sometimes alright, but secondary sources are better, especially since this is a living person.

I think. I may be wrong here, since I'm quite new at editing. But I'm going to remove some of the sources I haven't said are OK.

I also don't like the "advocate of mental health" part. I think that for that to be included in the article, he should have done more than simply say mental health is important.

Feel free to reverse my edits and discuss here if you think I am mistaken.

Thanks, @LuneDeCuivre, for a thorough review of the sources. I was expecting someone would clean up the references since I knew a lot of them were redundant; some of them I was iffy about, e.g. Distractify.

One thing I want to clarify is that, Ref. 15 (above) was used not only for his attendance but also for his mother being a manager during the nascent years of his career. Also even though some of the references are interviews, I mainly used them as references for the introductory write-up parts before each interview, not for the interview parts. Thanks for the above explanation as well! Rock on. Happy editing! Joh582 (talk) 07:55, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind message, I'm glad I could be of help! LuneDeCuivre🌙(talk) 09:10, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
