Erroneous Errors

[edit]
I'm going to try to correct some of the many, many errors on this page. It's clear that whoever wrote all or most of this article has next to no experience with the series. I don't know how to cite some of my sources though. Somebody erroneously listed 2 characters as being player characters in the pachinko machine. Unlike whoever wrote that, I actually own the machine, and I can verify that they're not player characters. How do I cite that in the article? Do I link to one of my YouTube gameplay videos? Save Surala is listed as a "main series" game. But it's not listed in the Shiren 5 DS soundtrack booklet (how do I even cite that?), the Famitsu page for Shiren 4 that listed canonical Shiren ages as well. The game was also not mentioned at the 2011 NicoNico event, nor the 2015, 2020, 0r 2024 Shiren exhibitions.
The side games listed are arbitrary and random. There are several tabletop / toy games, and 30~ cell phone titles not listed.
Another instance of misinformation is Shiren's ancestors being referred to as his "descendants", among many other blatantly false observations by people who clearly only have a surface-level understanding of the series. This entire article may need to be re-written due to how much it gets wrong.

Edit: I see now it was Windywalk, a fellow Shiren enthusiast, who added the table. He's well-meaning, well-intentioned, but still often gets small things wrong. I would have hoped our fellow Shiren enthusiast Adkuate would have caught some of these mistakes, but at least somebody else is trying to keep this article presentable.
