Hi Rift — it doesn't matter since another article also provides his birthday, but this is not a WP:ABOUTSELF source relating to a third party, since it was published on the official Twitter of the New York Mets (and so should be considered authoritative as MLB team publications are considered authoritative about the players and personnel of the team). D. Benjamin Miller ( talk) 16:45, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
I know that fact can be sourced, but I took it out because it's not true. From James Buchanan Downey's obituary: "He was predeceased by his brother, renowned film-maker and director, Robert Downey, Sr."
So it can't be SNL Downey, the one the article is about. It has likely been misattributed to him over the years by lazy sources, but unless SNL Downey is the one who just died (not possible), we should probably take it out. Nohomersryan ( talk) 19:17, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

I saw that you had removed the DoB listed for Norm Abram as there was no source listed. I have found an applicable source (the production institution of his TV shows) that lists his age and month/day of birth (here). However, I am on the fence for re-adding it as your link to the manual states DoB is considered personal information of a living person susceptible to misuse/identity theft and I get the feeling Norm Abram values his privacy.

Thanks for uploading File:Portrait of baseball instructor Tom Emanski.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Devil_Dog&diff=1182001071&oldid=1181980920 Well, what can I say, you are right: the hilarious grammar is not mentioned in the reference. But that was not what I tried to indicate here. Vielleicht kannst Du ja so gut Deutsch, dass Du verstehst, wie albern die pseudo-deutsche Grammatik klingt und wie extrem falsch der Ausdruck für Deutsche klingt. Zu vergleichen z.B. mit "Donnerblitzen" oder "Blinkenlights". All of which goes to show that "Teufel Hunden" was most likely not invented by native German speakers. Maybe you can find a way of resurrecting my remarks in the article so that no-one will be upset by the non-relationship with the given reference. Kind regards from a real German. -- Kku ( talk) 20:08, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Here's my question: why do you think "Cleveland native" doesn't mean a person born in Cleveland? That is the usual meaning of the word (born in a place) — obviously it's not about belonging to an indigenous group here. Is it possible that this reporting is inaccurate? Sure, in the way any biographical detail might be inaccurate, but it is no reason to discount the statement. D. Benjamin Miller ( talk) 16:48, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 411#RFC: Use of Rotten Tomatoes for biographical information. Rotten Tomatoes is a review aggregator. It's useful for determining the consensus of film reviews. However, it is not reliable for biographical information. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 02:47, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
I'd also like to point out that Allmovie is not a trustworthy source for biographical details as well. Which is why I'm reverting the articles you used it as a source for someone's DOB. It has the incorrect ones listed for some celebs. The biggest red flag regarding Allmovie is that it has Laverne Cox's birth year listed as 1984 and her true birth year(1972) was revealed years ago. [5] You also can't just use whatever websites you find online that show a DOB without considering whether or not it's a reliable source. Many of them don't indicate where they got that info from and like Allmovie many of them have the incorrect DOB listed for other actors. For all we know they could be web scraping. That's why the recent consensus for Rotten Tomatoes was made.
When it comes to WP:BLP the number of reliable sources is quite slim and there are only very few acceptable options. A truly reliable Secondary source(IE a magazine such as Entertainment Weekly, Los Angeles Times or New York Times. And preferably multiple of these) reporting their exact DOB. Or a social media post from the subject themselves where he or she confirms his or her birthday and preferably either his or her age or YOB in the same post as well. Failing either any of these, that info should kept out of articles for the time being. Kcj5062 ( talk) 10:04, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
Well there hasn't officially been any consensus for it, however I once asked an admin about this and they've stated that Wikipedia only includes info in BLP that are supported by reliable sources that have a reputation for thorough fact checking and accuracy and that Allmovie doesn't fit that criteria. And a site doesn't necessarily need a consensus here in order to tell if it's unreliable. Especially if they have info that's been proven to be incorrect. Here's some sites I've seen people try to use as refs that are not on the noticeboard, but have been reverted by admins as they're considered unreliable for WP:BLP.
Celebhealth [6] Celebmagazine [7] Thefamouspeople [8] The numbers.com [9] Biography.com [10].
And another thing Allmovie has going against it is if you go to the bottom of the actor bios, you'll see a fact sheet. It's the exact same as their bios at TVguide. The link for Laverene Cox's Allmovie is above. Now here's her TVguide bio. [11]. Not a good sign as it looks like they just copy/pasted that. I'll ping :@ NinjaRobotPirate: and see what he has to say about this. Maybe we can reach a consensus here. But considering the evidence against Allmovie, it looks like it should be treated the same way Rotten Tomatoes is. Kcj5062 ( talk) 20:41, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Or a social media post from the subject themselves where he or she confirms his or her birthday and preferably either his or her age or YOB in the same post as well. Failing either any of these, that info should kept out of articles for the time being. Kcj5062 ( talk) 10:04, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
Well there hasn't officially been any consensus for it, however I once asked an admin about this and they've stated that Wikipedia only includes info in BLP that are supported by reliable sources that have a reputation for thorough fact checking and accuracy and that Allmovie doesn't fit that criteria. And a site doesn't necessarily need a consensus here in order to tell if it's unreliable. Especially if they have info that's been proven to be incorrect. Here's some sites I've seen people try to use as refs that are not on the noticeboard, but have been reverted by admins as they're considered unreliable for WP:BLP.
Celebhealth [6] Celebmagazine [7] Thefamouspeople [8] The numbers.com [9] Biography.com [10].
And another thing Allmovie has going against it is if you go to the bottom of the actor bios, you'll see a fact sheet. It's the exact same as their bios at TVguide. The link for Laverene Cox's Allmovie is above. Now here's her TVguide bio. [11]. Not a good sign as it looks like they just copy/pasted that. I'll ping :@ NinjaRobotPirate: and see what he has to say about this. Maybe we can reach a consensus here. But considering the evidence against Allmovie, it looks like it should be treated the same way Rotten Tomatoes is. Kcj5062 ( talk) 20:41, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:American author Charles Beaumont in the 1962 film The Intruder.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:06, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Comedy writer James Downey.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 16:44, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Why did you remove my additions that sources differ about his year of birth? I added two sources that supported 1957 as the year of birth and many arrticles, including LA times gives his age as being born in 1957. DrKilleMoff ( talk) 20:06, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
