Overall: @Pamzeis: Some questions are going to have to be cleared up here first, but we're chugging along! theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 01:43, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, after searching past the stuff about the Inverse scientific/mathematical theory or whatever, I found this Observer piece and this THR article. They establish that Inverse has an editorial staff which I guess puts it at marginally reliable. However, the site is published Bustle Digital Group, which also publishes Bustle, a source with unclear reliability per RSP. RSP says that Bustle articles should be used with an instance-by-instance basis (I don't know what that means). So, per WP:SOURCE, Inverse is teetering between marginally reliable and no consensus. The site is used for a (in my opinion) not-very-controversial claim (They appear as ponies waiting in line for the Wild Blue Yonder) and opinion (Corey Plante, writing for Inverse, thought negatively of its lesson, saying, "In some ways, Friendship Is Magic can be even more fucked-up than Rick and Morty." ... Plante found it especially strange since Rick and Morty is "fucked up".)
Comic Book Resources, on the other hand, is widely regarded as a reliable source for comics, etc. (see discussions here and here) and has been cited by WaPo, Daily News, CNBC, Vox, etc.
Regarding notability, I believe it is established with CBR, Digital Spy and Screen Rant (marginally reliable is still reliable and per RSP, it is reliable for entertainment-related topics).
On COPYVIO, I think I found several complaints about this site violating copyright so I wouldn't put it past them to copy from Wikipedia as well.
ALT0 is a bit of Inverse's opinion, not factual information of any kind so I think it is usable since we aren't aiming for FA-quality sources. Pamzeis (talk) 03:34, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for the delay. I've been contemplating on this. The only thing I can think that particularly highlights their contrasts is their characters—cuz, y'know, how FIM is about singing pastel ponies and Rick and Morty has a alcoholic sociopath. Maybe this...

Re: "...a YouTuber predicted that this crossover would occur."

[edit]

I know it's already been on the main page's Did you know section (if it weren't, I wouldn't be here), but other than the Vice citation, what is it about that particular YouTuber's idea of an MLP-R&M crossover that makes it worthy to be considered a prediction as opposed to just a type of fan-pondered concept? What makes this particular YouTuber's story more noteworthy than those of everyone else who may have made this so-called prediction? – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 12:29, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think I just used the wrong wording. Instead of predicted, I should have used envisioned, etc. I've updated the article's wording. BTW, I just wanted to point out four people from DYK didn't notice this 🙄 Pamzeis (talk) 13:49, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Informal vote on which image would be good for the infobox header

[edit]

I found a couple of good candidates. Which do people think would be the best choice for the article's header? Dogman15 (talk) 08:48, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Late to the party, but IMO, none. They all seem to fail WP:NFCC#8, being not contextually significant to the reader's understanding. They would still be able to understand the plot without the images. Pamzeis (talk) 13:43, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's a Walter White cameo right next to Rick and Morty in the same shot. This is worth pointing out in the article, right? Anomalocarididae (talk) 02:56, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the title of this episode alludes to the porn series "Girls Gone Wild." Anomalocarididae (talk) 02:58, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
