Talk:Bridget Moynahan

Birth date
Why was her birth date change from September 21 to April 29? Her birthday has been listed as 9/21 for over a decade, even if the year was in dispute. I see no evidence or the change of birthday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.133.12.13 (talk) 01:20, 22 May 2012 (UTC) Also, everywhere else in the web (imdb.com, German Wikipedia etc.), she was born in 1971, not '70. Which is right? --178.10.177.217 (talk) 18:38, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Any birthdate appearing in the article needs to be supported by a reliable source. IMDB and other wikis do not meet the reliable sourcing criteria.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:25, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

--The REF SOURCE is a bad link: it now goes to an article on Tom Brady. Should be 1970, as the IMDB fact-check was done years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dfoofnik (talk • contribs) 20:05, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
 * This date continues to flip flop and is no longer supported by any reliable sources. Please restore the date only when a source meeting the necessary criteria (i.e. not External links/Perennial websites!) is found.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:59, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

she was born in 1970 not 71 or 72 Babyiluvu223 (talk) 12:14, 25 January 2016 (UTC)


 * And you know this how, when TV Guide and Us Weekly say otherwise? --Tenebrae (talk) 19:27, 26 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Click the link after the first date: April 28, 1971 (same as IMDB's)Dfoofnik (talk) 21:18, 13 February 2016 (UTC)


 * And it's different from that in TV Guide. What your point? --Tenebrae (talk) 22:25, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

For the record, her official twitter account tweeted it was her birthday on April 28. Although Twitter is generally not a reliable source, it does generally resolve the question of what her actual birthdate is. https://twitter.com/bridgetmoynahan/status/725719218264662016 I'd imagine somebody can find a reliable source verifying this in print somewhere. Jo7hs2 (talk) 23:29, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * And AP via WTOP and DC confirms birthday April 28. Was 45 on April 28, 2016. This is sufficient proof in my opinion. See at bottom: http://wtop.com/media-galleries/2016/04/today-in-history-april-28/slide/1/ Jo7hs2 (talk) 23:34, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and made the edit. I considered the previous issue of equally reliable sources in making this edit, but with the AP AND another (entertainment tabloid type) source, plus the unreliable information from her Twitter, there is now sufficient proof that it clears the POV threshold and the existing reliable sources point towards the April birthday.

Irony
This may or may not belong in a GA/FA candidate (if not, I'm not terribly sad), but it was pointed out in writing this week that Ms. Moynahan chose to give the son of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady the initials J.E.T.. I didn't notice this before, but if it's a coincidence it is a heck of one. This ref isn't the best one obviously, but the name of the kid has been published and it's not out of line for the WP article to connect the possible dots for the reader, right? ☯.Zen Swashbuckler  .☠  21:11, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Either way, it's not really something to include in the article. Remember, this is an encyclopedia, not a place to add trivial information. --  ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  01:16, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Wiki would like to claim to be an encyclopedia - it isn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.90 (talk • contribs)
 * Concur. Wiki is often funny (usually unintentionally). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.160 (talk) 14:46, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Birth date
Not only did the anon IP yesterday make a POV change to favor one source over the other (TV Guide v. Us Weekly), but the editor was not even honest about the change, giving a completely did month and day than that given at the source he chose, TV Guide. His own cite says "Sept. 21" and not April 28! --Tenebrae (talk) 18:20, 24 January 2016 (UTC)


 * The [l] link "supporting" Sept 21, 1971 now says April 28, 1971 - which is what IMDB has been saying all along - while Wiki can't even decide on a year? Dfoofnik (talk) 21:15, 13 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Clearly, the first date got mistranscribed when it went in originally. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:32, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

height
Very few actors or, esp, actresses can stand and look Tom Selleck in the eye. I realize it is not pro forma to list height and weight, but I don't know of any rule or policy, and in this case, this seems to be an elephant in the room. I don't know her height: I came here looking for it. Len Cariou plays her grandfather (on 'Blue Bloods', for those of you who live under a rock), and I believe imdb says he's 5'9". Ms Moynahan looks to be a foot taller — probably an illusion, but 5 to 6 inches wouldn't surprise me.  rags (talk) 03:35, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I am watching episode 118, 19Feb2016, in which her investigator refers informally to her height as 6'. Might be 6'1", or 6'2", but she's definitely tall.  It would be interesting to know.  rags (talk) 05:45, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
