With regards to sourcing

• The Weekly Shonen Jump thing doesn't need a link. It should just be of in citing format, something like "Weekly Shonen Jump March 2006, Issue 83" or whatever.
• KHinsider and other fansites cannot be sourced for any reason. The original source should be cited, and linked if possible.(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 18:06, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

The siliconera cite is pretty much a translation of the Famitsu article (down to the name), but here's the code if you guys find something else to use it for:

• <ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2010/10/15/kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep-final-mix-has-a-whale-of-a-multiplayer-fight/ '''''Siliconera''': Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Final Mix Has A Whale Of A Multiplayer Fight'' (Oct. 15, 2010)]</ref>

Once the two cite bits above are addressed, I think this is ready to port.(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 18:29, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

I can't read Japanese well enough to find the Famitsu interview in which he says "In the Secret Episode, you'll actually be able to control characters. I think you'll be able to relish a different kind of surprise to simply watching a movie." If someone else, one of our Japanese-reading contributors can cite this, that would be great. Additionally I cannot find an issue number for the Shonen Jump image. I'm pretty sure it's Vol. 8 issue #10, but I can't find any hard evidence on this as I don't actually have the magazine.

NB: The translated Famitsu interview is from Nov 18, 2010. But when I go through the November archives of their website, there's no interviews with Nomura for the month of November as far as I can tell... Soxxeh 05:13, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Cite 1 is just a scan of the magazine. It's from Sept 14. There's no translation of this or any official citations online... This is already in the article as-is, though. Cite 4 is not translated officially anywhere, nor is the Famitsu interview posted. It's only in the magazine. And Cite 5 is a Heartstation translation of another bit about the Secret Episode. If we don't accept 4 or 5, we have no citation about the Secret Episode. In short, what do we do about the lack of Famitsu citations, seeing as it's ONLY in the magazine?

Cite 1 should be cited to the actual issue, like I said earlier. See wikipedia for the traditional format for such citations. If you want to include a link to the scan within the ref, that will work, but the cite is improper as it is.

Cite 4 should also be cited to the actual interview, with a link to the source of the translation if desired. As it is, there is absolutely no way for someone to verify the cite without checking every issue of Famitsu.

Cite 5 - fansites are absolutely unacceptable as citations, at any point, ever. Cite directly to their source, or not at all."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 23:58, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
