Not "to date"[edit]

Wikipedia says not to use terms like "to date," "currently," and the like, since no reader can know when "to date" was written. A reader will see "to date" and, reasonably, infer that what he is reading is current, when it might be outdated. "As of [such-and-such date]" can be used to tell the reader what he needs to know. I found these notes to clarify this question well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:As_of and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Relative_time_references .

So I'm going to append the "when?" label to the article where it says "to date," and I hope the editor who wrote it, or someone else who knows, can supply what date "to date" refers to (or, better, provide a more recent date.) -- GcT (talk) 22:31, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That line should probably just be stricken unless you can find a citation for the translated editions, in which case it could be "as of (date of publication)". Brianhe (talk) 22:36, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Brianhe. I'm just loath to strike out what is probably true, without giving the original editor, or anyone else, an opportunity to back it up. GcT (talk) 01:09, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the option is just keep waiting for a proper source, since there is no deadline for Wikipedia. Brianhe (talk) 03:32, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. Or until you, I, or someone else, gets tired of waiting. :-) 67.80.148.217 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:17, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
