I message Scroogerello and this is his reply below. I hope you understand why he did what he did.

"I'm truly sorry if I offended you by deleting the posts, but I was surprised that, when I first added the info on Scrooge's age (provided in a one-pager by Scrooge's creator Carl Barks, whom I'd say should be considered 'canon', if you'd go as far and try to create a 'canon' of Disney comics and cartoons being created and released all around the world, all being equally 'official' wthin the Disney publishing license), Cruella1989 deleted it, saying that (quote from the History section on January 22nd, 2015) "That conflict's with the Don Rosa Timeline that said he was 88 in 1955, so he does not have a confirmed age". I reversed that edit, saying (once again, quoted): "I know that "Watt an Occasion by Scrooge's creator Carl Barks doesn't fit with Don Rosa's 'timeline' (invented about 40 years after the one-pager),  but the information given about Scrooge's age by his creator is interesting enough for a Trivia, isn't it?". Cruella1989 eventually added him being younger in DuckTales, without a source, so I removed it. When she added that this conclusion was taken from an episode where the were about 60 candles on his birthday cake, I removed it as well, with the information that, in DuckTales the Movie, Scrooge refers to the 40 years of searching for Collie Baba's treasure as "half of [his] life". Cruella1989 recently pointed that out as wrong, and I assume that she is right; I remembered that line from the Dutch dub, and thought he said the exact same thing in the original version. My fault.

Long story short; I just tried to add that trivia as a fun Barks fact, especially since it is (as far as I know, at least) the only time Scrooge age has been specifically stated in any media. And, in all honesty, I didn't see the need of adding all kind of "Timelines" and "canon" and "inconsistencies" to such a fact. And w hy isn't that one pager "canon"? There is no official "canon" within Donald Duck comic books and cartoons released within the Disney license, and fans are not the one to determine for everybody what is "canon" and what isn't."
