I find that pretty interesting, because I've actually have been sitting on that part of the book for a while now (not for any particular reason, just because I wasn't sure how best to cover it and then I got distracted and had that info on the backburner). Name-wise, in regards those pages, his claim is correct - it's the added US release dates that can be shaky (the Japanese version, naturally, only lists Japanese dates). I'm going to assume he had his reasons, perhaps contractual, as to why he wasn't too specific about it earlier, but regardless, there's still a handful of dates that overlap with pre-sourced wiki. In my opinion, it's a safe bet that they were taken here considering he did say early on that he innocuously looked up the wiki just to see if things checked out. Note that this seems to be a constant irregularity in Dark Horse's encyclopedias, but he says he wants to take full responsibility for these pages, so I'll leave it at that. According to my notes, these were at least: ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' (states "3.13.1994" instead of 2.1994), Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' (states "7.22.1994" instead of 6.1994), and ''Yoshi's Story'' (states "3.10.1998" which is..neither date). This can also -possibly- include: ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' (states "11.20.1995" instead of 12.1995 like the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110614155658/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/snes_games.pdf site] and [[smashwiki:Chronicle#Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Chronicle]]; however, Nintendo Switch Online apparently cites this date now), ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' ([http://web.archive.org/web/20190725200347/https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/CrcAAOSwwrFdBeNl/s-l1600.jpg similar] to DKC2), and ''Donkey Kong Land III'' (states "10.1.1997" but couldn't find a good source for exact day). My notes ended at ''Yoshi's Story'', probably because I figured as it approaches the 2000's that release dates get better documented and so the rest are likely a match, but I can double-check and look through the rest later. I'm not sure how you think this ought to be covered in light of that.
