Bastian Schweinsteiger

Is there a particular reason why Bastian Schweinsteiger isn't allowed to be under births? Kingjeff (talk) 16:12, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have, literally no idea why not. Thus I have no opinion either way.

But Europefan (talk · contribs), in his many sockpuppet personas, is not permitted (per WP:DENY) to be the editor who makes such a change. This isn't about the content, it's about who's adding it.

If you wish to add this (subject to WP:EVADE), under your own imprimatur, then feel free to do so. But please do it because you're familiar with the subject and have checked adequate WP:RS to confirm this. Don't just trust Europefan's word on it, because they are unreliable at adding such claims.

Or, more exactly, Europefan is pretty reliable in terms of adding false claims.

According to kicker magazine's website, Schweinsteiger was born on 1 August 1984. Kingjeff (talk) 04:47, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingjeff: Sounds, then, like you would be perfectly justified in adding it (with a citation, please). As Andy explained, the previous reversions had to do with the editing status and history of the particular person who has added it (using multiple sockpuppets) in the recent past (see WP:RBI, not with the suitability of the content.
