Untitled

First of all, please discount my needless affirmation that my edit "was not vandalism." I misread an edit summary that related to somebody else's edit.

For future reference, the following sources suggest the original year of birth listed is correct:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1667678/ (The most reliable source and listed at the bottom of the entry but with 24 February given rather than 25 February.)

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/celebrities/claire-cooper/ (I believe the articles on this site, as opposed to the discussion forum, are not user generated.)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1292112/Hollyoaks-sisters-Jennifer-Metcalfe-Claire-Cooper-lunch-together.html

No source for the DOB was listed when it was changed to 26.10.1981 by 87.112.61.40 on 5 July 2010 (as pointed out by Dismas in the subsequent edit and also mentioned in my original edit summary).

It may well be that the change stems from a wish not to reveal the original DOB. If this is the case, I believe it would be preferable for the DOB to be removed rather than one with no source to be added.

Birthday

Please note that I have changed her date of birth from 24 February to 26 October per the ref given there. Could not verify if the year is correct though. See the discussion at the Help Desk (permanent link) for more info. Chamal ^T•C 13:31, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
