While it is properly sourced anyone with half a brain can clearly see the information for the english cast is completely false, I mean this would have to be dubbed in four different areas for this to work and I've never even heard of this show. Rather then waste my time reporting each individual error I decided to ask on the forums here if you could please delete the entire english cast.

Since the source is now gone, I've send a PM asking the submitter to defend his/her claims.

As long as I'm here, this sort of attitude will give you no Encyclopedist position.

I know but I find it sort of frustrating that we have to treat all errors equally.

What's the point ? Wrong is wrong. Whether the error is only minor or clear as hell, it needs to be corrected.
The main point for me is, is the reporter giving enough information to correct the error. If not, and if it's difficult to verify, it's not changed immediately.

That was not the point. When facing similar problems as an Encyclopedist, one should think "hmm I wonder how s/he acquired such info" and start digging the history of that Wikipedia page (in this specific case), rather than "I've never heard of this English dub so it must be wrong."

The submitter had replied my PM and removed all casts by his/her own, plus the Wikipedia page ("List of Mirmo! media") has been merged/redirected to the Mirmo main page, so it doesn't matter anymore. Rolling Eyes

I'm sorry I was rude about this and I did not mean to insult the person's intelligence. Still I was a little annoyed that no one caught this error.
