If I want to call shenanigans on info posted here on ANN, (for example, Shinichi Watanabe's hobbies), and ask for the source info on this claim, how do I go about asking for this info??

According to the disclaimer that doesn't appear to have been linked on the site yet, the proper way to request a source is a post in the Encyclopedia forum, which you have done.

Anyway, are you sure that Nabeshin doesn't enjoy cosplaying Lupin? Have you ever seen him dressed in a way that doesn't somehow evoke Lupin? Compare:

Can you prove he does, aside from photo sources? You say he does, I say he has very horrible fashion sense. Razz

I just was gonna add something else to another entry, but I saw the verification line in the prompt boxes, so that got me wondering how easy it would be to insert BS info.

The person who submitted that item listed it as "common knowledge" with no link, so I'm going to remove it until we can find more detailed information.

As it happens, he'll be at Acen, so we'll ask him there.

Please do point out where you "interview" Watanabe in one of your con reports then.

Now that I look at it, he is...invoking Nabeshin.

Interviews and such are generally not included in the con reports.

Nabeshin IS a parody of Lupin. I don't think anyone would question that.
