DOB

@Imcdc:, I looked at the pre-existing sources and I didn't see the exact day he was born. Just that he was turning 68 the week after the source article https://english.news.cn/20220724/77a3ae10c9a34a278e9c3eea31aaa43a/c.html was written. So, how did you come to July 29, 1954 from this source? Graywalls (talk) 06:03, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Graywalls Its from another source here under Randall J Huntington. We know that his birthday was one week after July 24 according to the first source mentioned. We also know he is based in Hailey, Idaho as his primary residence. The historical addresses also includes Olympic Pkwy, Chula Vista. Imcdc Contact 06:15, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That would not be an acceptable source, because you're interpreting a primary source. It has to be sourced to a secondary source which identifies the subject as coach Randy Huntington and includes the DOB in this context and the source must be cited in the article.

I'll see if I can find a better source that gets his DOB. Otherwise we will have to just leave the year born as it currently is. Imcdc Contact 06:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
