Talk:Fahrija Mucic/@comment-33034960-20191108111001

This article should be deleted or re-written because it is a) poorly written ("She was well remembered for the Turkish army"), b) full of irrelevant trivia ("She has witnessed many wars"). and, most important, c) contains incorrect information.

Original sentence from the quoted source (in Montenegrin):

", po knjigama rođena je 5. septembra daleke 1902. godine, međutim, neke druge pretpostavke i tvrdnje drugih govore da je Fahrija rođena pred kraj 19.vijeka."

Translate (in English):

.." according to the [registry?] books (which ones?) she was born on 5 September 1902, but there are some assumptions and claims by others (who are these "others"?) which say that Fahria was born near the end of the 19th century."

Should assumptions and claims be taken seriously if we do not even know who said them?

Some sentences in the article on Gerontology Wikia are very problematic, like :"Her age has not been confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records because, according to some registry information, it is possible that Fahria was actually born in 5 September 1902. This would mean that she did not die at the age of 115 but 109."

First, why is GWR mentioned at all? Second, mentioning "some registry information". It is important to emphasize: no source mentions which registry is this, and when it was created. It is possible, that even the another claimed birth year of Ms. Mučić (1902) is not correct.

Gerontology Wikia is an encyclopedia that any registered user can edit. Therefore, I could also correct this article and did not comment on the existing one. However, it seemed important for me to point out the incorrect abstracts from the sources and the (consequent) implementation of (wrong) conclusions, which should not become a rule on Gerontology Wikia.
