This example from AwesomeMusic.Other Media in the Sports Team Anthems folder violates EANR.

• "You'll Never Walk Alone" was central to a seminal Heartwarming Moment and Moment of Awesome. Liverpool and Everton FC have been long time rivals. A few years ago, a 13 year old was murdered by an Everton fan because he was wearing a Liverpool shirt. That weekend Liverpool played Everton in the Premier League. A one minute silence was called in memory of the boy. A few Liverpool fans started singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" and the Everton fans joined in.

According to the article history, this example has been on the page since it was created in January 2021. How many years before that is meant by "a few years ago"? I tried to look this event up and I don't know whether my search phrasing was wrong, but I can't find information on it anywhere.

"As long as I have my comrades with me, I can do anything!" (She/Her) (Current Focus: Indentation cleanup)

Sounds like it might be a vague and inaccurate version of the Rhys Jones murder.

Now that you mention it, my research involved looking up the Merseyside derby and the match afterwards was mentioned on the Wikipedia page, but nothing like what the example is stating. In that case, I should cut this for being innacurate on top of the EANR violation. Should I cite this thread in the edit reason?

"As long as I have my comrades with me, I can do anything!" (She/Her) (Current Focus: Indentation cleanup)

We've got a dedicated fact checking thread as well.

If you want to be thorough, it might be worth posting there and/or on the Discussion page, and giving it a day or so for someone to add the missing details (if they exist) before cutting.

Back to ask about an example on Funny.Invincible 2021:

---

• One of the alternate universes Mark gets sent to is one with a Captain Ersatz of Spider-Man called Agent Spider (as voiced by Josh Keaton, just to drive the reference home) fighting Prof. Ock (Who looks more like a squid than an octopus.) Agent Spider is immediately able to deduce Mark is from an alternate universe because he’s had a lot of experience with that, especially in recent years.

(There's also a lone subbullet hanging from this example, but that's not relevant here.)

---

The "in recent years" part has to go, but how can I fix that without having to create a chained sinkhole?

I'm not 100% familiar with the work, so I'm not sure if it's a direct quote.

"As long as I have my comrades with me, I can do anything!" (She/Her) (Current Focus: Indentation cleanup)

If he's saying it in-universe, that's fair enough - we can keep it.

There’s this paragraph on VideoGame.Twin Bee:

However, the series is finally starting to see the light of day in the United States: Konami first released the original game as Rainbow Bell as a part of their Konami Arcade Classics collection for the Nintendo DS and some of the games are starting to appear for purchase on download services for each console.

As far as I know, this was there when the page was created in 2012, so horribly out of date. Heck, the collection the example mentions came out at least 5 years ago by that point.

Weirdly, two thirds of the description focus on how the US never got those games so I might just cut those out.

Thomas fans needed! Come join me in the the show's cleanup thread!
