Birth dates for celebrities

edit

Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted one of your edits. I saw that you added a birth date to Madeline Brewer, but it wasn't sourced. Wikipedia has a rather strict set of rules on editing biographies of living people. This is to prevent incorrect information from spreading to other places. If you have a source for this birth date, please check to make sure that it's reliable and add it back to the article. User-generated content, like fan sites, blogs, and the IMDb are not considered reliable. Government documents, genealogy websites, and other primary sources are also disallowed. This means that it's kind of hard to find exact birth dates sometimes, and it's why many Wikipedia articles rely on interviews with incomplete dates. In this case, we have to go with the most reliable source we have, not the most informative one. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:34, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
