Kizuna profiles with grades information were all mentioned here. While I understand WTW has gotten annoyed about their translations being used here before, the information is available via the official website as well, in the profiles section. For grades, all you really need to know is the kanji that specifies their grade / positions in University while in Kizuna / what they're studying, etc., without having to refer to WTW's translation. The Japanese language referred to can be a reference on its own in that regard.

The same goes for the Tri grades, which were all confirmed/translated by digital scratch as well in the initial Tri interviews, I believe linked above. Since mentioning that, i've noticed some tri grades have yet to be added; even Taichi's 02 grade which is, sorry, extremely obvious, as he's in the exact same grade as Yamato and Sora (and in Tri, Meiko's in the same grade as them, as we confirmed).

The day of Taichi's game/Yamato's concert in early Tri is shown exactly in this cap to be June 29, 2005 (as stated, Takeru's email in the final film states December 2005): https://66.media.tumblr.com/ff0a3595f314ffa489e5de534e6ec514/tumblr_ny5p8vL5Ti1tihhs2o1_640.png

Basically, the official website can easily be used as a reference for Kizuna's grades for all of the chosen (including 02 chosen), the rest of WTW's translations aside, and it doesn't really take a rocket scientist to figure out the rest + where conflicting timeline issues happen, and in those cases, those can be easily noted regardless if they conflict or not. For example, I also noticed Ryo's page mentions his conflicting timeline issues as well (he lives in Odaiba in the games/02, but Fukuoka in the Kyushu region in Tamers according to the Memorial Book).

Speaking on that, while WTW has a claim to their specific translations/phrasings, they don't have a claim to... the bulk of the Japanese references, obviously. So if Ken's profile mentions he's studying "psychology" and it's made obvious by the kanji, obviously that can be referred to. Anyone with a basic level/knowledge of Japanese can confirm/rephrase the rest.

Sorry, but as Kizuna gets closer and more and more new info gets dropped, it really doesn't make sense to withhold so much of that information from the fanbase due to "not having scans" when in many cases scans really aren't needed for this to be clarified (for example, the official website is more than enough of a reference which doesn't require the use of scans). It also makes the Wiki extremely restrictive when it comes to being able to be edited with new information, which doesn't exactly help the fanbase.
