Jack's age

[edit]

It states in the bio that Jack was born in 1969 and graduated high school in the class of 1982. I grew up on the same street as Jack in Lynn, MA. WhenI was 10 yrs old, he was 16. FYI, I was born in 1970.


No way was he born in 1969. He was born in 1964 and has been lying about his age for years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.250.34.161 (talk) 18:02, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, if he was born in 1969 and graduated high school in '82, wouldn't that mean he was a 13-year-old senior (or maybe even 12, considering most school years end in May/June and he was born in December)? This is likely an error, and needs to be amended ASAP.--BZA99 (talk) 23:35, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
born in 1964. Marty2Hotty (talk) 18:33, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jack's age, part 2

[edit]

There seems to have been a lot of back-and-forth on his age for years on this article. The fact of the matter is, unless you can provide clear, verifiable sources of information, we can only go by what is available to us. "I knew him growing up" is not enough - the source of information must be reliable and verifiable. Per WP:Verifiability: '"Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it."' Granted, in my own searches, I have not been able to find anything that I would consider a definitive "reliable source." However, every source I have found thus far (including his IMDb page, this IBDB page, this unofficial fan page - and countless others) list his birth date as 1969. The only source of information I have ever seen to indicate his DOB is 1964 are people who keep updating this article. -P shadoh (talk) 22:47, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, the article states that he was born in 1964 but he graduated in 1987 as he would have been a 23 year old high school senior. This is unlikely. It is necessary to get the dates correct. Makana999 (talk) 19:49, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I cited an article from the college he went to which has him listed as an alumni of 1987. This makes 1964 being the more accurate birth year. Kcj5062 (talk) 11:04, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
where is the article? Marty2Hotty (talk) 19:47, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the college 1987 article confirms he was born in 1964. He is at least 58-59 years old. the fact that this is not included in the article is quite ridiculous. Marty2Hotty (talk) 18:38, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Marty2Hotty
I agree that with the college grad year that it's likely he was born in 1964 or 1965. But unfortunately that's not how this works when it comes to including a subject's DOB. Please read WP:SYNTH. Kcj5062 (talk) 10:03, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
he was born in 1964 but graduated from college in 1987 - see article.. Marty2Hotty (talk) 19:46, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]


@Doniago The source that was provided in the main article only mentioned what year he graduated college. Nothing regarding his DOB. It didn't even mention his age. Kcj5062 (talk) 14:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation; I hadn't had a chance to review the source. Seems we're back at square one here. DonIago (talk) 16:17, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
