I made a contribution to minecraft modding article but it was reverted; can you tell me why? FijiAura (talk) 02:11, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

:Hi {{ping|FijiAura}} and welcome to Wikipedia. I apologize that I did not explain my revert to you earlier, that was my mistake.

:A lot of new users approach existing articles by wanting to make their own contribution, adding facts and tidbits from the internet they think are important. Usually this lands on articles about popular subjects like Minecraft. Unfortunately, this results in articles attracting lots of mildly relevant non-notable information over time, and becoming very long. This is something we are trying to avoid.

:When writing on Wikipedia, we want to give only the most relevant, highest-quality information to our readers. Your edit was sourced to blog posts. These are not considered high quality reliable sources, so we shouldn't add information from them in most cases.

:One thing to understand when we are working on an article is our idea of what is important for people to know may not be what is represented in sources. So, news from Modrinth may be important to the community, but if it's not represented in news articles, academic sources, etc. then it is not relevant for the purposes of Wikipedia. We have to follow what major sources say because we are writing for a general audience. ForksForks (talk) 02:19, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
