>Ok, but why do original air dates get a pass then?

While they do need to be sourced too, at least we know where the info comes from so the info has never been disputed (though it technically can be). And the episode releases are pretty stable. The sole exception to the pattern is clearly referenced.

>Why are you guys to quick to revert English dub airings when you know for yourselves it’s true?

I know nothing about the dub. Aside from that one tweet, I honestly didn't see anything else about it. And even that one tweet is problematic since it doesn't actually mention that it's talking about a dub. "Toonami" says exactly nothing to me as a European.

There's also the problem that the English dub doesn't have a record of a stable pattern. For example, one day the AGGO dub is announced... and like a day or two later, the dub is already out on Hulu (?) with no followup posts? So, does that mean that the dub got released as a bundle, or were the episodes released weekly without a word about it on the official account? And even with earlier seasons, I do recall various episodes getting released in bundles or something. Hence, I naturally expect a clear-cut source when the situation isn't exactly clear-cut.

>Do you really think I would add fake airdates?

I have no idea how reliable anything you add is. What I do know is that we've had plenty of random people adding unsubstantiated guesswork to the wiki before. That's why I strictly require references when I'm not aware of where the info comes from.

>I’m not going to add a citation to every single airing, that’s ridiculous.

A citation for every single episode isn't exactly necessary (though would add certainty, I guess), as long as there's one source for all the episode air dates. There's a reason why there's a [citation needed] tag at the very top of the column. A single reliable page that lists all the episode air dates, or a pattern for the episode releases, posted there would be quite sufficient. The point is that there must be a clear source that can be checked for verification purposes.
