Good day! Some editors think that it is fine to use twitter as a primary source for development section and just recently found this . Do you think its worth to be added at the article? He talks about where "Valentine" name come from. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 01:02, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Boneless Pizza!. As per WP:ABOUTSELF, I think this is fine to mention briefly IF better sources don't exist, as long as you attribute who said it and when. For example: "In 2025, Hideki Kamiya stated he took the name Jill from one of his reference books, and the name Valentine was chosen randomly after he heard someone say Valentine's Day.[source]
- Thanks! I already implemented it. You can check if there is an issue. By the way, there is another source also that can be implemented as well : "Kamiya was a designer for certain environments in the Spencer Estate, though his most permanent contribution to the series’ lore was the naming of some of the characters, including Jill, Chris, Wesker, and the others. “I got the inspiration for their names from various media sources, including pornographic magazines".

- @Boneless Pizza!: In this case I think it would be better to use the tweet as it's specifically about Jill. I think if you use this new source as well though you could definitely change 'reference book' in the article to 'pornographic magazine'. I noticed the AI translation of the tweet said 'adult reference book', but I wasn't 100% sure what that meant (also you can't trust AI translation), but you could definitely change it to that if you wanted to with this as a additional supplementary source.

| great work on discogs Doctorhawkes (talk) 23:53, 23 February 2026 (UTC) |
- Thanks Doctorhawkes, I appreciate it. The goal is to eventually get rid of all of them, though that might take a little while. It's just something I'm gradually chipping away at while doing things like listening to podcasts. :) Damien Linnane (talk) 00:18, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
Archive.org
Hi. I'm very concern right now at the article Jill Valentine. Since Wikipedia now has a policy to remove all archive.today and replace it to Archive.org, some of the sources are now lost i think and this article has a lot of archive.today, which is painful. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:50, 24 February 2026 (UTC) Oof Nevermind, I guess we can use this though some of the source are dead or might be lost sadly. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 04:13, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Boneless Pizza!. I'm glad there's a work around at the moment. Hopefully not too many sources are lost. Also, while it's obviously not ideal to have dead sources, as per WP:KDL, sources don't have to be deleted even if they are dead and no archived snapshots (from approved archival websites) exist.
