Age/Year of birth
@, if we don’t have a source that confirms a year of birth, would it be worth using something like, without mentioning a definite year of birth? (I’ll have to check the MOS to see if there’s a guideline on how best to state that someone was born in one of two possible years.)

 * Technically, we can have a source that states a year of birth. The Forbes profile source states that they are 30, so that means it was at least 1994. However, some Google searches state that they were born in 1993, so on January 17th I'll check the Forbes profile to see if they're still listed as 30 or if they become 31. λ Negative  MP1  18:12, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Re your edit summary, it's my understanding that the Twitter post by the subject can be used as a source for their DOB, per WP:ABOUTSELF & the last sentence/paragraph of WP:DOB. Best, &zwj;—&zwj;a smart kitten[ meow] 18:32, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Temporarily (ie before we get a chance to see if the Forbes profile updates on Jan 17th), I'm going to update the article to list the year of birth as 1993 - as we have sources for a day (Jan 17) and a current age (30), which in combination would necessarily imply a birth year of 1993.

 * I've also just found this tweet by them, which confirms they were 27 in June 2020; supporting them being 30 now and their year of birth being 1993. (I haven't added this to the article, but feel free to do so if you believe it would be helpful to include as a source there in addition to the others - I'm on the fence.)

Ezternal link to the iCloud
Is there a box we could add to "personal life" like Template:External video but for Elizabeth's iCloud doc? NotAGenious (talk) 17:11, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That link absolutely should not be in the article. It is a self-published document containing multiple accusations of felony misconduct, none of which have been vetted by any reliable sources. (The most we have is Insider second-hand-quoting Dahlberg, speaking to Drama Alert, that there's "a mix" of true and false in it.) It would be an egregious WP:BLP violation (much like a lot of the content formerly in this article) to link to it from the article. In particular, WP:BLPEL squarely applies.More broadly, @NegativeMP1, as someone who also likes writing about neglected pop-culture topics, I appreciate your work in this area, but please be more careful about BLPs. You cannot include negative statements sourced only to primary sources. When secondary sources have reported on those statements, it may be acceptable to broadly summarize them (as the article does now), but this past version is, frankly, horrific. You cited two versions of the same article from a fairly low-tier source to, among other things, assert as fact that Dahlberg was placed under protective custody when, according to that source, the police only said that someone was put under custody, not who. These are the sorts of small details that are critically important to get right on the first try. Even when sources check out, it's very important to not give undue weight to controversies in a living person's life. Please be more careful in the future. -- Tamzin  &#91;cetacean needed&#93; (they&#124;xe) 18:31, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * This article was my first time writing a BLP and I tried to the best of my ability to fit in with those guidelines. I greatly appreciate your advice and, if I ever write another BLP in the future, I'll attempt to write one with better verification and due weight. λ Negative  MP1  23:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
