Request reason:

Would you be good enough to explain why this has happened? Have you read removed improperly referenced date of birth, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 323#House of Parliament raw data for dates of birth of living people? For those with no DOB source whatsoever, do you think it is an acceptable situation to keep DOB’s completely unsourced? Have you individually gone through each edit I have made and examined each one carefully? Can you state on which basis vandalism has occurred and essentially, if any of my edits are unfounded or incorrect? If you cannot answer those questions, do you think this block has any reasons to stand whatsoever?

Accept reason:

I'm unblocking because indeed you are doing a quite appropriate task, but I cannot guarantee you won't be immediately blocked if you continue doing the same thing. We get a TON of date vandalism, almost all of it from unregistered users. It sets off a noisy alarm. So does new users removing references from an article. This is a job much better done by a logged in account. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 02:10, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Better source needed or Citation needed templates

Hello. Having looked at the linked discussion in your edit summaries, it a. was held in the wrong forum and b. was only contributed to by four users with minimal policy referencing. I recommend re-instating the DOBs but with a Better source needed or Citation needed template, since the priority of including key facts such as DOBs in pages is why said templates exist. Thanks.
