WikiProject activities

Thibbs has spent time contributing at the WikiProject Video games Reliable Sources page and currently maintains the reliable source custom search engines for WikiProject Video games. Thibbs also volunteers as a member of the WikiProject Video games Reference library and the WikiProject Anime and manga Magazine Archive. Source diversity as a means to counteract systemic bias is a central concern for Thibbs. This is reflected in Thibbs' May 2012 proposal to transclude reliability determinations for Polish-language sources, the June 2012 addition of diversity language into the WP:VG/RS guideline, and a January 2013 article for the WikiProject Video games newsletter (see below).

In addition to reliable source work, Thibbs edits and writes for the WikiProject Video games newsletter. Examples of Thibbs' articles for the WikiProject Video games Newsletter can be found here:
