Takeshi Yamamoto and uncited information

11
The H-Man (talkcontribs)

In your edit, you said, "if you didn't know we trust the Japanese Wikipedia over the English Wikipedia". That doesn't mean we should blindly trust uncited information, just because it's from the Japanese Wiki.

More concerning: in an effort to add credence to our Yamamoto page, you invented information that you supplied to the Japanese Wikipedia. Talk about unethical!

The Japanese entry had previously been unedited since September 14, 2020. All of a sudden, at 18:53 UTC (the same approximate time you were making edits to the Yamamoto page on Wikizilla), someone named "Eiga-Kevin2" changed the birthdate on the Japanese Wikipedia to "1936-1949" and then to "1939."

Here's the (now unbroken) link to the history of the Jpn Wikipedia entry.

Do not invent information or insert uncited information into other sources only to add a reference here.

i know what was going on i was reading books about the man and they all had a different birthday!

can we please let this pass

Koopa (talkcontribs)

No, not really - please, take the above information into account, and also, give and cite sources. "I was reading books" is too vague a justification.

The H-Man (talkcontribs)

To add to this, if you really have books that cite his birthday, why in the world didn't you just cite those on our page? Instead, you added a reference to an uncited edit you made to the Japanese Wikipedia. That's such a convoluted and cryptic workaround to the birthday issue that I can't help but think you were just trying to pull a fast one.
