   Main source of the Yusuke samurai story been caught faking everything. Thomas Lockly a UK Brit was caught changing Wikipedia since 2015 to fit his narrative, sources himself, had no peer reviews of his books and made up stuff to fill out his book out of just 13 total sentences of historical text. He is currently being shamed by all JP universities and historic societies. He deleted his social media and is currently in hiding.

     @cough This happens all the time on Wikipedia for a variety of topics, it's basically a covert way of promoting your work.

     @thendrix @cough there needs to be some kind of analysis of wikipedia that correlates edits to find people doing this. I noticed it happening many years ago in two very obvious (to me) cases.
