Ric Ocasek
Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted an edit you made to Ric Ocasek. For some reason, his age has been controversial. We've currently got citations to three high quality sources – CNN, the Associated Press, and USA Today – which give a pretty good approximation. There are other sites on the internet that claim to have his exact birth date. However, none of them are as authoritative as the ones we currently have, and these other sources don't always agree with each other. Per our policy on biographies of living persons, we always go with what the most reliable sources say – even if it isn't quite as definite as other random websites on the internet. The most important thing is that we get it right, not that we include more information. If we get it wrong, it can have negative consequences on people's lives.
