Unsourced birthdays
Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Kazushi Ōno. In, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware the many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. Fan sites and blogs are self-published and have no editorial control. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases. This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we often have to either go without this information or wait until a source like Entertainment Weekly or the BBC publishes an interview that includes a birth date. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:58, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Fine ! Just as you like. I’ve been checking every single conductor mentioned in the List of Japanese Conductors, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Japanese_conductors_(music), most of them with an « unsourced » birthdate - which seemed to bother nobody at en.wikipedia. But if Ōno is THE one that has to be sourced, that’s no problem, just have it your own way. As long as I have the information I need, why should I care if others don’t, after all ? Oh, by the way, my source was the Kazushi Ōno page on fr.wikipedia : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazushi_%C5%8Cno. But this is not mentioned in your list of reliable sources. Better wait till the highly scientific, objective and reliable Entertainment Weekly publishes reliable information. By the way, again : do you know that the birthdates of all these people are seemingly unsourced : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Merkel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Macron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felipe_VI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naruhito https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jong-un It would perhaps be wise to check Entertainment Weekly for accurateness and reliabilty about all those (among thousands of others).
