Birth dates

edit

Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Michael Smiley. In this edit, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware the many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases. This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we have to either go without this information or wait until a newspaper or magazine publishes an interview that includes this information. In this case, we do have an interview in which Michael Smiley says he was born in 1963, but that's all we've got. To include more information than he's already divulged publicly, we would need a source that verifies the specific day he was born. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at the reliable sources noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:17, 8 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
