Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Erwin Tulfo. In this edit, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware the many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. Fan sites and blogs are self-published and have no editorial control. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases. This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we often have to either go without this information or wait until a source like Entertainment Weekly or the BBC publishes an interview that includes a birth date. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 05:17, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Okay. I understand now, because Raffy Tulfo, Ben Tulfo, Ramon Tulfo Jr. and Wanda Teo Tulfo are siblings. Aldrin0000 ( talk) 02:07, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
