Can you please add that he created the Mother/Earthbound games, since that's what he's best known for in the U.S.? Thanks.

Wikipedia is not a valid source for the Encyclopedia (For the same reason the Encyclopedia is not a valid source for Wikipedia, either).

Hey! What makes you think you can speak to staff members or other users like that? You were asked to cite a verifiable source so they could check it out before making the change. That's how the system works, and frustrated or not, that doesn't entitle you to address anyone on these forums that way.

I think, given the circumstances, that I will NOT be entering this information. If someone else would like to enter the information on this user's behalf, be my guest.

Dessa: Yeah, you were never going to do it, anyway. So don't be pretending otherwise.

Dessa: Fine. Sorry I had an attitude. But this is a common knowledge-type update, and I shouldn't even have to go through these hoops for one lousy credit which has been acknowledged for over 20 years now.

IMDb is no more reliable than Wikipedia, possibly less since there's a chance that Wikipedia will provide sources. I've submitted unverified information to IMDb in the past and struggled to get incorrect information removed.

Considering the reason you can't enter it yourself is because you have been banned, this is ancillary information to the encyclopedia anyway and you haven't even provided a link to the person in question I'm not doing your legwork.
