Birth date
I'm resolving the "citation needed" tag by removing the birth date.


 * On 6 July 2007, in [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ryan_Sampson&diff=prev&oldid=142930290 this edit], a birth date of December 1985 was sourced to a search at ancestry.co.uk. This search no longer returns anything relevant, at least when I try it.
 * On 15 August 2007, in [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ryan_Sampson&diff=prev&oldid=151472181 this edit], the source for the December 1985 birth date was changed from ancestry.co.uk to IMDb. This is an unreliable source; someone could have updated IMDb to match what they saw at Wikipedia.
 * On 9 October 2007, in [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ryan_Sampson&diff=prev&oldid=163375195 this edit], the IMDb source was removed and the birth date changed to 28 November 1985.

The 28 November 1985 date could be sourced to IMDb, since that is what it currently says there. However, someone could have updated IMDb to match what they saw at Wikipedia. The article needs a much better source, one that we can be sure has not copied the date out of Wikipedia or IMDb.

Birth place
Mosbrough? Where's that? Do you mean Mosborough, *Sheffield*, which would make sense with going to school in Anston Brook and Kiveton Park just over the border. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.96.251.53 (talk) 04:01, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Working backwards through the article history:


 * The non-existent "Mosbrough" used to say "Masbrough" until [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ryan_Sampson&diff=prev&oldid=946084537 this 17 March 2020 edit]. Masbrough is part of Rotherham, so the older version at least makes geographical sense.
 * Masbrough was added by [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ryan_Sampson&diff=prev&oldid=626499335 this 21 September 2014 edit]. The edit did not add any new source.
 * South Yorkshire was added by [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ryan_Sampson&diff=prev&oldid=142930290 this 6 July 2007 edit]. It is verified by this thetalent.biz archive which mentions "Accents: Native South Yorkshire, Cardiff".
 * Rotherham was added by [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ryan_Sampson&diff=prev&oldid=142930725 this 6 July 2007 edit] by, along with this thetalent.biz source. The current version of the source does not mention Rotherham, and neither does this 7 October 2007 archive. IMDb mentions Rotherham, but, as for the birth date, that could have been copied from Wikipedia.
 * Kiveton Park was added by [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ryan_Sampson&diff=prev&oldid=112934899 this 5 March 2007 edit], and the information has never been sourced.
 * I'm going to remove Mosbrough/Masbrough, tag Rotherham with "failed verification", source South Yorkshire to Archive.org, and tag Kiveton Park with "citation needed". -- John of Reading (talk) 07:23, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
