Date of birth
Encyclopædia Britannica says Spinks is born on July 13th. I have changed the birthdate accordingly. I have however added in a note that Sports Illustrated in 2010 had him in a list of persons born on July 22nd. July 22nd is now several places on the net, but this quite probably because of the 2010 article in Sports Illustrated. Any website published or edited after 2010 is bound to be unreliable because of Sports Illustrated. -- Britannica is a very reliable source. They will however change their information if anyone can provide reliable sources. When there was a controversy over Jimmy Wales date of birth they changed their entry in accordance with the copy of his passport which was provided to them, see Researcher's note at the bottom of their biography, https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jimmy-Wales. If they change their biography of Spinks Wikipedia should follow suite. In the meantime Britannica is a reliable source and what they say goes. --ツツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 18:36, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
