Check/expand the infobox in Meryl's article. The source for her age is MGS1 itself, in one of the mission briefing videos (specifically a text overlay).

There is a Russian version of the Wiki, although I'm not sure how complete it is.
Существует русская версия Вики, хотя я не уверен, насколько она полна.

Maybe? But the point of MGS1 is that genes don't determine whether someone is innately "superior" or "inferior" to another. Also, scientifically speaking, dominant/recessive genes don't correspond with superior/inferior genes, so the whole thing is somewhat muddled. Liquid was "chained" to the perceived relevance of his genes, whereas Solid Snake was indifferent to such things and prevailed. Basically, it's the philosophy of mind over matter.

We can argue the toss over every inanity 'til the cows come home. Just let it go, already. Geez, some people are never satisfied.

Yes, strange that; Paz's birth year is the only "new" information, smh. I know you're irked by having your "discovery" dismissed for common sense reasons, but it's been known about for a decade, and isn't any more relevant today than it was back then. Sorry that you don't agree with our previously not relying on it for the wiki (not just me, no other contributors thought it was worth including).
Also, the Mission Handbook gives a vague 70's date backed up by the previous backstory from MGS1. It's one piece of evidence among many supporting the character's former history before it was overwritten by MPO, and is not relied upon as the sole factor (it is not relied upon at all in the main in-universe article). It doesn't conjure up a suspiciously defined DOB like the blog does, previously only present on the wiki as a mid-point estimate.
(Also, I thought this was pretty obvious, but just in case you still hadn't figured it out, the official promo Ninja biography for MGS1 is not going to include info on Fox's real identity beyond height, because it's clearly a potential spoiler for players.)
Anyway, I won't be adding any conjecture or assumptions to Paz's article (why would I?), but I will be mentioning why it isn't used for her age in the main body of the article.

A clickbait blog that offers exclusive info, which isn't corroborated anywhere else, is not a great source. If you disagree, then I can't really help you.
The Mission Handbook was credible in that instance, before the MPO retcons. Tell you what, if you're so desperate to mention this blog, add it to Paz's "Behind the scenes" section, as a potential, albeit unsupported, defined birthdate, but leave the Fox stuff be, as it's superfluous and offers nothing new.

The format and style is completely different to that of previous official timelines. Also, the Mission Handbook has not been used for in-universe sourcing for over 10 years, it's always been dismissed due to inconsistencies. Regardless, it's far more substantial in expanding on info from the games, than a blog that just regurgitates already existing info. This isn't a "gotcha" scoop, so stop being a pedant and just let it go already.

A timeline blog exclusive to Konami-Europe, which seemingly copies this very wiki's (former) estimate for Paz's birth date, is unreliable (no other sources corroborate an exact date). Also, the 1966 meeting is right there in MPO itself (" four years ago" from 1970). The blog doesn't even call Frank a child soldier, only a "young" soldier, so not much more helpful.
Going to need something more direct from Konami than the so-called "exclusive" info offered by Konami-Europe's blog writer. A little common sense and skepticism should be utilized when sourcing.

I don't recall their exact origin, but those logo files can be found in this image category:

Yes, seems they've added more historical events to provide further context to the games' settings. I also have the Master Collection, so can check over things if need be.
Regarding treatment of MPO and MGR on the wiki, the Master Collection still makes the distinction that they're Kojima-spinoffs, so there's not much reason to cease highlighting this with our labels (although they could be improved/reworded).

Yes, there is some wacky stuff for sure, and this also continues in the MGS2 VR/Alternative Missions.
Regarding the PSG-1, you need to use the Diazepam to steady Snake's aim.

There is this one from the Metal Gear series article, which is the only one I can think of in the same "style". But this was around the release of MGSV, so probably not the one you're referring to.

As we're limited to one choice in the poll, I chose Peace Walker as being most likelyfor inclusion. MGS4 always seemed more difficult to update/port, though not necessarily impossible.
Also, MG1 & 2 will already be included with MGS3, as it's the HD Edition (based on the Subsistence re-release).

I never heard of "Maurice," but I did a bit of research, and it seems that the name "Raiden Brannigan" was on Kojima's mind, back in 1998, though I can't really determine the origin. Later, he thought of using the name "Fanshawe" for either Raiden or his "father," which, like a lot of MGS2 characters, is based on names from Paul Auster's City of Glass novels.
The wiki page on Raiden was kinda lacking on details, so I updated it with my findings (citing very helpful tweets by fan translators of the Japanese-exclusive MGS books).
