Talk:Ben Oglivie

Ben's baseball cards have the wrong birth year.
Many of Ben's cards have the wrong birth year... they say 1949, while the correct year is 1948. Dardubby (talk) 03:21, 7 January 2018 (UTC)


 * @Dardubby: According to what published reliable source was he born in 1948? —C.Fred (talk) 03:32, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

I don't know why my replies aren't showing up anymore.... but my main (reliable) source is Ben. If he says he was born in 1948, I am inclined to believe him. Dardubby (talk) 04:33, 7 January 2018 (UTC)


 * @Dardubby: Unfortunately, that's not a published source, so it can't be used for the article. —C.Fred (talk) 04:34, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Also, there are several websites in Spanish that have the date correct. I think that they are being blocked but if you search for his name with the correct date written in Spanish you will find them. Dardubby (talk) 04:34, 7 January 2018 (UTC)


 * @Dardubby: The issue is, who is publishing the websites? How do we know that they are reliable? —C.Fred (talk) 04:41, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

How can I get a legitimate source for this information? I understand that personal correspondence is not considered published, but there doesn't seem to be a mechanism to right this wrong. With a milestone birthday coming up it seems like it would be nice to get it right. Dardubby (talk) 04:45, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
