An edit claimed that Amati was " (also known as Nicolas Marty)", citing Dr Stuart Ashens. While Dr. Stuart C. Ashens is indeed a real person, and he did indeed claim that Amati was known as 'Nicolas Marty', Dr. Ashens is not a historian, and his claim was made as a joke. The added citation linked to a youtube video, in which Ashens shows a fake toy violin with poorly translated, "Engrish" text. The same video refers to Stradivari as "Antonio Stella Bottom Tile".

An edit claimed that Amati was " (also known as Nicolas Marty)", citing Dr Stuart Ashens. While Dr. Stuart C. Ashens is indeed a real person, and he did indeed claim that Amati was known as 'Nicolas Marty', Dr. Ashens is not a historian, and his claim was made as a joke.
