I know the content I'm adding needs a source, but I don't have the inclination to find a source for the existing claim about US locations, so tagging it so it doesn't look like my source verifies it.

Campbell uses the terms "myth" and "mythology" in a technical sense that doesn't simply mean "non-historical"; if modern fringe theorists misquote him in this way, then sources should ideally be found that discuss said misquotation, or at least the misquotation itself should be cited, not citing Campbell himself as though it were simply a given that his words support the said fringe theorists' interpretation.

Yeah, presumably the Nahuatl pronunciation, and maybe even the Spanish pronunciation, are different, but if that's the case it needs a source. (I also don't think the "correct" Nahuatl pronunciation is really relevant here unless Gomez herself speaks that language.) Tag: Manual revert
  • 11:1311:13, 7 May 2022 diff hist +41 Owen (name)→‎First name: I grew up in Ireland and I'm interested in medieval Celtic history, so I'm probably more likely than 99% of non-Scottish readers of this page to know what Strathclyde is, but I didn't. And the linked article didn't tell me in its first sentence either. I had to click threw twice to find out where this guy was king of.

  • 13:1013:10, 6 May 2022 diff hist −268 Barry KeoghanRemoved unreliable source now that it's been found to be redundant with a better source. Lots of people pronounce their names differently when talking to foreigners, and for maybe 99% of Irish peopleーprobably a not-insubstantial proportion of this article's readersーthat's the most natural interpretation of the Reuters source.

Given the likelihood of citogenesis in this area, a reliable source unlikely to copy Wikipedia, or a pre-2005 source, should be found.

Given that it LOOKS like a hoax, a citation (even a poorly formatted one -- sorry!) feels necessary.

  • 00:5400:54, 9 February 2022 diff hist −697 Woody Harrelson→‎Legal problems: Not a legal problem, so definitely out of place here, but probably has no place in this article since it's (at worst) a long-deleted Instagram post picked up by right-wing media as an obvious pretext for claiming that it's left-wing celebrities who spread COVID-19 conspiracy theories.

  • 09:4409:44, 4 February 2022 diff hist −953 Talk:CheersI was curious about this name too because when I first got into Cheers/Frasier I was beginning Japanese study, and it looks like a Japanese name (it apparently is a number of different very rare Japanese names); but even for a non-Japanese-speaker, that vulgar pronunciation is not intuitive. Put simply, this appears to have been trolling.

  • 09:3609:36, 4 February 2022 diff hist +6 Cheers→‎Subsequent main characters: This is vague (numerous contradictory statements are made about it): taking the premise established in the opening scene of "Frasier"'s pilot as word of god, "My wife had left me, which was very painful. Then she came back to me, which was excruciating. ... I ended the marriage once and for all" implies Frasier left Lilith; given that they remain on very good terms throughout most of the series run of "Frasier", it's probably best not to assume it was not mutual.

Also slightly rewriting it to fit the present article. (And no producers named "Roz" or "Doyle" or anything similar are listed in the infobox or seemingly named anywhere in the article.)
