Error?

Wait, how did "his fight versus Julian Wallace surface(d) on YouTube in 2013" when, per his record below, he fought Wallace on 8 March 2014? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.75.151 (talk) 21:13, September 21, 2020 (UTC)

78.144.75.151 As per Sherdog it on 8 March 2014 - see here. Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~).. Cassiopeia(talk) 11:29, 21 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hi, yes- I got the 8th March 2014 date from the article itself, and don't doubt that it's correct; I'm raising the issue of how it would be possible for footage OF that fight to have been "on YouTube" the year before. That's impossible, ergo the article errs in the statement "his fight versus Julian Wallace surface(d) on YouTube in 2013".78.144.75.151 (talk) 11:41, 21 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
78.144.75.151 It might be an erro on Utube site when the it was uploaded - see here-2 from fightnewsaustralia.com where it stated the same date as per Sherdog.com. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 11:45, 21 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
The date of the fight itself we can take as having been 8 March 2014, yes; since neither of the sites used as citations for the statement "his fight versus Julian Wallace surface(d) on YouTube in 2013" mention 2013, the year can be trimmed from the article. It would be perfectly correct to put "on 8 March 2014, Nguyen fought Julian Wallace; Nguyen achieved internet fame when his fight versus Julian Wallace surfaced on YouTube", since it doesn't mention the error (which, given it's currently unexplained in the article, makes the article look sloppy).

Given we're on the same page re: the date, I changed the article to include the 8 March 2014 date and removed 2013 per the above reasoning. Thanks for the discussion 78.144.75.151 (talk) 11:51, 21 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
