Birth date

imdb says June 13, 1938 in Columbus, Ohio, USA. AMCKen (talk) 05:15, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AMCKen, Unfortunately, IMDb is not a reliable source. (WP:IMDB) Eddie Blick (talk) 00:28, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We try. Even wikipedia itself says wikipedia is not a reliable source. What can you do. AMCKen (talk) 22:45, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AMCKen, yes we do try. Wikipedia is one of many sources that fall under the WP:USERGENERATED heading and therefore should not be used as sources. Other sites mentioned at that link are Ancestry.com, Facebook, Fandom, Find a Grave, Goodreads, IMDb, Instagram, ODMP, Reddit, TikTok, Tumblr, TV Tropes, and Twitter.

A rather big spread in the reliability index in that lot. Some of those I wouldn't trust to tell me the sun was still shining. ;)
