Nick Broomfield
You removed sourced information and two Citation needed tags without explanation. That's not constructive. It was not arbitrary. If you wish to discuss your intended changes with other users, you could do so at Talk:Nick Broomfield. By the way, you appear to have the same surname as him; are you related? --Geniac (talk) 23:51, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The ref given for the film being based on a 6,000 page NCIS report doesn't mention this film or a 6,000 page NCIS report, so I've removed it. WP:DOB explains that Wikipedia includes dates of birth for some well-known persons where the dates have been widely published, which it certainly has. However, it also says that "if the subject complains, err on the side of caution and simply list the year." If you could provide some evidence that Nick Broomfield has a problem with his date of birth being listed in the article, we could go by that policy and leave the year. As an employee of the article's subject, you should read Conflict of interest if you haven't already, in particular the "Close relationships" section. --Geniac (talk) 02:39, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * One good tried and proven method of somebody expressing their wishes is to create a subpage on their official website stating what they wish. It doesn't have to be linked from anywhere else on the website, it just has to exist at the domain name. It doesn't have to be fancy, it could be a text file; doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be lengthy, just something simple along the lines of "I, Nick Broomfield, wish for only my year of birth to be listed in my Wikipedia article." --Geniac (talk) 23:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
