Talk:Brenton Thwaites

Questions about dates
Great article, very well researched and sourced. There are a couple questions about dates. Brenton's birthday is variously reported as August 9 or August 10. A couple of his birthday parties were on the 9th. Can this be checked? Secondly, when did he graduate from high school? 2006 appears to be too early, he would have been 17. I'm not sure when kids are enrolled in school in Australia, but from his birthdate, it seems logical that he would have graduated in the fall of 2007. Enrollment in QUT was most likely Feb 2008 - Nov 2010 (from their course schedule, Acting 1 starts in the Feb semester). The November graduation jives with when he was offered the role in SLiDE -- he says he had moved to Sydney days after graduation, and then returned days later after getting the SLiDE job. Then moved permanently to Sydney after filming SLiDE, in Apr 2011. DonPMitchell (talk) 20:48, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey Don!
 * I'll dot point responses to your points.
 * 10 August 1989 is cited from Imdb. Furthermore, his tweet regarding his birthday can be used per WP:ABOUTSELF.
 * In Australia it's common for there to be some students whom graduated from secondary school whilst being a year younger then their peers. In regards to your point about the inconsistent dates such as graduation – they've been omitted from the article due to their inconsistencies and plus there's not too many reliable sources out there, documenting them.
 * Hope that helps! —MelbourneStar ☆ talk  14:24, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I also realized that when it is Aug 9 in the USA (where he had his parties), it was Aug 10 in Australia! DonPMitchell (talk) 05:23, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
