I really don't think that someone who [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Television&curid=182925&diff=2012362&oldid=2012329 openly admits] they don't know anything about what they're editing should presume some piece of information is wrong. The next time you don't know about something, I would suggest you bring it up on the talk page for the article, rather than assuming the other person is wrong and commenting out their contribution. If they ''were'' wrong, it can always be fixed when that's confirmed, for solid reasons. The alternative is that no one may get around to fixing your mistake - you, the one who admitted you don't know anything about it, as opposed to the person who quite likely had an actual reason for adding their information. Please be more mindful.

:I don't know anything about that particular TV show, but I do know dubious information when I see it. Lack of knowledge on a very narrow subject does not preclude prudent editing judgment. Also note that if I assumed it was wrong, I would have removed it altogether; commenting it out is a way of assuring something is fact-checked before we make it visible to hoi polloi.

:hello, i am new here so i hope it is okay that i am weighing in as a third party. i think mr. pumpkin was concerned with the ambiguity of the trivium and took a [[wikipedia:WP:BB|bold step]]—he wasn't challenging the information's validity or correctness. it's just that it was a little too vague to tell whether or not it definitely warranted inclusion as a piece of trivia, which is especially problematic since trivia comes with very unclear guidelines. ~ [[User:Coelispex|Coeplispex]] [[[User talk:Coelispex|☎]]] 19:59, 10 November 2013 (UTC) | |||
