I'd just like to note that all information taken from (http://hyakumonogatari.com) appears to be from Zack Davisson's translation blog and as far as I can tell doesn't actually provide the original texts that these tales are suppose to come from. In other words, this informationisbogus, at least as far as referencing and citations are concerned. Furthermore, the second source for this article, the book Iwasaka, Michiko and Toelken, Barre. Ghosts and the Japanese: Cultural Experiences in Japanese Death Legends, Utah State University Press, 1994 has a lengthy Amazon Customer Review (http://www.amazon.com/Ghosts-Japanese-Cultural-Experience-Legends/dp/0874211794) from "Zack Davisson "japanreviewed" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2B8GXSCB1R05T/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp) no less. Considering I can't find any of the original works Iwasaka or Davisson claim are the original Ubume texts. I'm not saying they aren't out there, I just can't find the Japanese that these English translation came from. Duende-Poetry (talk) 03:50, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add trivia lists full of references to ubume in popular culture. This includes anime, manga, internet memes, and so on. If you feel those items are significantly related to ubume, then the appropriate place to put that reference is on the pages for those items, not this page. Repeatedly adding the momo challenge to this article will not make it significant to the folklore of the ubume, which is the subject of this page. Osarusan (talk) 00:50, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
