Hi
I am kind of new to this so just looking for some clarification on the edit you made removing the tv show the almighty Johnson’s about the character Hel/Eva. I understood the previous edit asking for reference (I thought before that it was okay to just link to the Wikipedia page in the addition using the link tool) and I thought I had corrected that. I provided more detail and provided 5 links to pages which verify the information I posted. I cited to both the IMDb page, Amazon’s page and the wiki fan page plus linked in the writing to the Wikipedia pages for both the show and actors. I am just confused as to why these were not considered good enough as I felt they were pretty robust sources and sources which are accepted in college level English classes. I also checked Wikipedia which said web pages are acceptable for these type of additions. I used Wikipedia’s cite tool to make sure it was all cited correctly. Can you help me out with what was wrong with the sources? Also why did it get me a red warn? Like I said I am new to this haven’t made a lot of edits before so just trying to figure it out.

- Hello @Ab101216, there are a couple of things to keep in mind when adding such content. The first thing is that the references you use shouldn't be things like IMDb and Fandom, as like Wikipedia they are user generated and not considered reliable enough. The second is notability, if the appearance had a meaningful impact on the topic, then it will most likely have been covered by a reliable secondary source. We can't include every appearance in media, it would make articles like Thor little other than a list of everything it has appeared in, however for example appearances that have recieved coverage by reliable secondary sources such as the comics about Thor are generally fair game.
