Until recently, this article and Wikipedia's article on Strawberry Flower have been filled with factual inaccuracies, and this has led to a lot of misconceptions about what Strawberry Flower actually were. The main piece of false information that has spread around is that Strawberry Flower was a {{w|virtual band}} with members who were Pikmin. This was probably made up by the creator of the Wikipedia article, and amazingly that claim has expanded over the years with people adding more members to the band as more Pikmin types have been introduced, with no citation of original sources. The truth is that Strawberry Flower was a duo, with known members that have documented musical careers. The [[Song of Hey! Pikmin|Song of ''Hey! Pikmin'']] also has no connection to the band. A year and a half ago, an editor rewrote Wikipedia's article to be factually accurate, citing sources from the time. That editor copied those changes to Pikipedia, but they were reverted because the text was copied without attribution. (As it turns out though, the very first version of our article was a direct copy from Wikipedia's article at the time.) After looking at some of those sources, I have now changed our article to be accurate as well, incorporating text from Wikipedia but providing proper attribution. Hopefully this will clear up some of the misconceptions about Strawberry Flower. — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 04:13, May 5, 2023 (EDT) | Until recently, this article and Wikipedia's article on Strawberry Flower have been filled with factual inaccuracies, and this has led to a lot of misconceptions about what Strawberry Flower actually were.

:: I'll clean up this page and insert citations if it makes everyone happy. Until I can scout for more citations on their single's sales, &c., all of the citations I will give to this page will have to do. {{User:White_Eye_Pikmin/sig}} 4:25 PM, 27 December, 2023 (CST) | |||
