Moreover, as the source (not mine) reported in the comments several weeks ago by the user called Lovshuyt, the man was called Lv and not Lu and was born November 22, 1893 and not October 15, 1893, because this date comes from the lunar calendar and not solar. Finally I did only a single edit on Longevity Claims and that's what we're talking about (Lv Zijan), the rest of the changes are from another user, as reported in the article's History.

With best regards

P.S: Do not worry, I know they are claims and they are not credible, as you have already explained a thousand times, it was not for what I did the change as I said above. I'm not sure if you're getting the message. We are employing a quality assurance mindset here. And that means a few things: 1. just because a source may be bad doesn't mean the actual information is (there was a claim for a Li Zijan of China, allegedly born Oct 15 1893 and age "119" in 2012). 2. You should try to first check the information for alternative sources. 3. Unless it's absolutely clear that the information is fake/original research, you should tag the information as "citation needed" before removal. It's easy to irresponsibly delete and it's hard to notice later what may be lost when the editing practices favor discarding without checking first. Consider being more diligent to investigate something before deleting it. That can include a talk-page question if unsure.Ryoung122 (talk) 18:32, August 20, 2018 (UTC)
