Help Me Fact Check

Hey,

As many know, I'm one of the more prominent admins on the TMNT Wiki. From time to time, I come across adding something that sounds like complete BS, and it turns into an edit war after I've removed it, the other person comes back and adds again, discipline is threatened, etc. In short, people either just make up crap or they believe everything they read on the internet and their "evidence" on why it should be in the Wiki is "its [sic] rumored". Someone actually was convinced that fanart on Deviantart of female Turtles in the 2012 style was considered "proof" that these Turtles were going to be in the cartoon.

I try my best to fact-check everything, but I'm only one man, obviously (at least last time I checked). While there are other admins, none of them are as active as I am. Furthermore, we're constantly getting new people that show up out of the blue and start completely restructuring articles just because they "don't like the way [we] have them", and that actually eats up a bulk of my time.

However, I know for a fact that not all of this that I perceive to be rubbish is false, as one of the editors actually provided evidence I couldn't find otherwise that turned out to be legit, recently (about Irma showing up in Season 2 - it was on the blog of one of the writers). So I figured if anyone can help figure this stuff out, it's you guys.

To start off, someone just added the final three episode titles to the Wiki, and I can't find any evidence of those names being released. He's written "Tales of the Turtles", "Night Mission Vission", and "The Sun Explode". Obviously the poor spelling and grammar, respectively, have given me pause, and I can't find anything on Google. If you guys find anything, let me know!

Thanks!
