| {{ping|Grayfell}} Hello. This is noted. I was unable to find a more reliable source than the Medium account of Axie Infinity itself for the particular statement, so I thought it would work to use that as a primary source. I have instead rephrased the line item altogether to use an independent source and disregard the launch date and instead focus on the land feature as a whole.] (]) 20:32, 10 December 2021 (UTC) | |||

Reliability of sources
@Nintendoswitchfan: Hello. Please cite reliable independent sources for any information that it not routine and could be seen as promotional. It is not enough for this info to be technically true, it has to be encyclopedicially significant, and the way to show this is with an independent source that explains why it's significant. This is the standard across Misplaced Pages.
Axie Infinity's Medium account hasn't been updated in over a year, and it's not clear if this is even WP:RS, but it certainly isn't independent. Using primary sources for specific features of a video game can be construed as promotional, and since Misplaced Pages is not a platform for promotion, it is always better to summarize based on independent sources. Primary sources can be used for routine information, or in some other cases, but always with caution. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 20:19, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
