- - - - This is my biographical information This is My name -- But not my birthdate nor birthplace PLEASE FIX THIS. TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME THEN GO TO MY TWITTER PAGE @SirBenjaminKing and see for yourself. I play Pete on Liv and Maddie and I'm getting very tired of people telling me I am 45 years old when today I turn 43. I will be forced to denounce Wikipedia and do everything in my power to ensure that everyone I know does not use this source as reliable information. I was born in Los Angeles... would you like to see my BIRTH CERTIFICATE????

Please do the right thing and help me out. I am now a veritable celebrity and lots of people are coming to your site, by google default, for information. If you do not change my information I will go on a crusade to denounce this site. I do not want to have to do this. IT's unfair that I cannot correct information that is mine. Someone already tweeted me and wished me the incorrect birthday.

What can I do to prove to you that someone else is capitalizing on my work as an actor, using my credits that I've worked hard for and it's really unfair that someone from OHIO, a place that I only went to ONE TIME to film a move is claiming that they are me.

PLEASE HELP ME. Check my twitter. TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. I am verified on twitter. again, @SirBenjaminKing

As explained to you in the conversation below, please provide a permanent link to something that verifies today is your birthday, like your Facebook profile, or a link to the actual tweet. Linking to your overall Twitter page https://twitter.com/SirBenjaminKing is not a permanent link to any biographical information becuase that tweet will roll off as you keep tweeting. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:10, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: It's been done, page now corrected and cited to the tweet. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:24, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Articles about yourself

Hi,

You appear to be having some issues regarding an article that may be about yourself. If there is information in this article that is incorrect you will still need to provide reliable sources to confirm this if you wish to include this information as we have no way of knowing that you are definetly who you say you are so we have to err on the side of caution. If there are issues with the article you cannot fix with reliable sources your best option would be to request assistance through the options listed on this page. If you are able to go through this process you are more likely to be able to resolve the issue than by repeatedly editing the article wihtout the reliability requiremnts for proving statements.

Ok, so I am new to this, but I just had an article written about me in People.com and they got my age wrong BECAUSE of the information on this page. So I figured I'd try to resolve it myself. What information can I give you to prove that it is, in fact, me?

If there is an article on the web somewhere in the form of a newspaper that can be used to demonstrate your age then this would be sufficient to turn the date of birth into a year of birth. That would be a start. As the article is about a living person there are various tings we have to take into account. If you can provide a list of issues here we can then see if we can help finding sources to back up the information. If not we could remove it as unsourced blp claims which would be a middle ground until reliabel sources can be found. Amortias (T)(C) 22:14, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Amortias I was able to find a source (it's a Disney fansite) that had posted a happy birthday post which indicated his birthday is in fact in November. Meanwhile, I was unable to find a reliable source other than maybe Instagram. Callmemirela (talk) 22:03, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My publicist is trying to help me with this. Much and House PR, Tina Tozzi is the contact who will be reaching out.

Here is my people.com article that just came out

http://www.people.com/article/benjamin-king-crohns-disease-disney-channel-liv-and-maddie

Have seen your publacists contributions but they have a conflict of interest If they go to the articles talk page and make a new section titled Requested edit with the first line of the request being {{request edit}}.

They can then post the edits that would want to be made and they can be eavaluated by an uninvolved editor. If there are no issues we can then include them. If your PR company has any links to articles or webpages youve been mentioned on taht would help with the claims that would be great if they can link to them as well. Amortias (T)(C) 22:32, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can I check that the article has your age correct as 42 as this would let us change the year as a reliable source. Amortias (T)(C) 22:47, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And finally we can accept places such as Facebook, Twitter etc as sources for information about yourself as long as it meets the requirements of WP:SELFSOURCE. Amortias (T)(C) 22:50, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, your publicist is now blocked. A PR firm should know better than to try to edit articles here, especially a PR firm who starts out violating some basic Wikipedia policies. This is not a good start.

That said, we can use web spaces you personally and exclusively control, like your Twitter feed or Facebook page, for personal information like age, marriage, and so forth. Your PR firm failed to provide any sources like that (only Wikia, which doesn't qualify). ~Amatulić (talk) 00:00, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Amatulic While I am all about Wikipedia policies, I don't think blocking the publicist was the right thing. All she was doing (based on the name, it's a she) was trying to help. She followed the edit request guidelines. It was a draft of what could had been, not an actual edit with or without sources. It was never published, so blocking her for that reason (sources policy) on an edit request section was wrong. This is just my opinion. To less complicate Benjamin's requests, I will do research on him, and find content that he wants on his Wikipedia page. I will follow the reference and reliability policies as always. This may take awhile, as I did some short research on him and barely got information. Callmemirela (talk) 00:20, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Callmemirela: She was blocked for violating Wikipedia:Username policy, as well as disruptive editing in other articles (substantial removal of validly sourced content). However, if you look at her block message, it's a 'soft block' that allows her to create a new account or appeal the block, her choice. Companies aren't allowed to have accounts here. Only people. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:32, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
