Notice about multiple issues in the article

Hello!

While making a complaint on the issues of this article (copy-and-pasted almost entirely from a Wikipedia article, obsolute sources and etc..), I accidentally added copyright issues on the article about Proto-Japonic.

I beg for a pardon for this and I apologize for the error!

-Newroderick895

Two of those issue templates don't seem justified to me:

Copy-paste: It wasn't copy-pasted, the content about Proto-Japonic got too large and was split out from Japonic languages into a separate article. The two articles now have different content. For comparison, it's the difference between Romance languages (an article on the modern and known Romance languages) and Proto-Romance language (the reconstructed ancestor of those languages).
Unreliable sources: Why are any of them unreliable?

Unreliable/obsolete sources? These are overwhelmingly 21th century sources, and represent top-quality scholarship. @Newroderick895: please tag sources which deem problematic to you, otherwise the template is moot.
Further, get familiar with WP:SPLIT. The necessary context is in the mother article Japonic languages. –Austronesier (talk) 17:04, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Austronesier: On second thought, I see almost no obsolete sources upon checking on a handful, with few exceptions. (although there is one that suggested ɨ as the seventh vowel in proto-Japonic, now rejected by most scholars. Also don't know if this is necessary.). Nevertheless I still have some problems at hand detailing this article, mostly on how PJ *itu is reconstructed and other miscellaneous stuff. Newroderick895 19:04, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
