Images
Hello, I'm afraid I have to remove the images you added as you didn't share where you found them. Please make sure images you add are not copyrighted and are under a Creative Commons license or similar. Or you are free to add photos you've taken yourself.

Everything in California?
Hello, just been reading your user page - if you can make a page for everything in California that's very impressive! Just one thing - please do add sources to your pages as we are looking to improve the quality of referencing here. See what I added to Boomers! Los Angeles as an example. Also, if you are looking for photos to add, I recommend checking out Flickr and searching for Creative Commons photos on their. Then you can upload those just by pasting the URL into Special:UploadWizard. Hope this helps! If you want help with your Califonia mission you can always ask on our Discord.

Sources
Hello - please remember to add sources to the articles you create so other editors can see where you got the info from. For example, for Antique Car Ride (Castle Park) how did you find out that it came from Knott's? I did a bit of searching on Castle Park but struggled to find any good info unfortuantely.

- On the Knott's Berry Farm Page, it said that Tijuana Taxi was relocated to Castle Park in the defunct list of rides. I also have a source for the relocation from Knott's Berry Farm to Castle Park shown at https://www.laughingplace.com/w/articles/2022/04/03/ranked-the-top-8-extinct-attractions-at-knotts-berry-farm/. It shows how Antique Car Ride at Castle Park were from Knott's Berry Farm. (As a reminder, the newsletter is a top 8 list, & the ride is found at number 7. Here is another source in case there is not enough evidence on the first link. https://www.yesterland.com/antiqueautos.html BeetopiaLeader (talk) 21:58, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
Ride tables and citations
I saw you just made a page for Wet'n'Wild Hawaii, and creating water park pages is great, but as stated on Coasterpedia:Introducing water slides, it is important to use good and reliable sources for water slides and water parks, as there's no existing resources like there is for roller coasters with the RCDB, and you cited the Wikipedia article for the park, which is not sufficient.
Id reccomend as a starting point to use Wikipedia's citations (if they are reliable) instead of citing Wikipedia itself.
Another thing is ride tables/lists.
When editing in the source editor, if you dont know the opening date or manufacturer of the slide, you should put Template:unknown, if the slide has no applicable categories, you should put Template:N/A. CoasterDave (talk) 06:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
File:Banzai Falls From The Top.jpg
Hello, it seems there was a problem on our end with File:Banzai Falls From The Top.jpg and your photo didn't get uploaded. Could you pleas follow that link and reupload the file? Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 19:21, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- I'm having trouble trying to upload the file as it's a duplicate BeetopiaLeader (talk) 23:24, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Did you get it to work? Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 00:25, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Seems like its working now, the image doesn't pop up when you hover your mouse over the link, but as long as the infobox has the image working, I'm fine with it. BeetopiaLeader (talk) 02:30, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Banzai Falls
Hello, I moved your page to Draft:Banzai Falls as the source doesn't appear to mention the ride. Please can you add some more sources that talk about the ride and, once this is complete, move the article back to mainspace. Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 22:57, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
