Unfortunately we cannot change articles based on editors claiming to know the family, see Verifiability. The Guardian Obituary currently cited in the article says he was born in October 1948. If you have a reliable reference for another date we can consider changing it, but we cannot change it based solely on your say so. Thank you. FDW777 (talk) 09:15, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, he is my father in law. I am married to his daughter. If it's yourself that's create the wiki then its becoming confusing as random people are now thinking this is his birthday, especially on social media. What would you like me to send through to you that will confirm this? Paul88mc (talk) 09:22, 29 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I have amended it to simply "June 1948", which is referenced to Ed Moloney's book. I hope that's acceptable enough for you? FDW777 (talk) 10:53, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, it would be a valid use of a primary source if there is one. ——  Serial # 11:00, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

I really appreciate that, I wasn't trying to be awkward. I was just trying to fix the error. Especially for anyone reviewing his life his date of birth is important and a simple error that has now been correct, which I appreciate. Thank you. It still shows on the outlay of wiki as October if you just Google his name. But I presume that will naturally change Paul88mc (talk) 11:15, 29 May 2020 (UTC)


 * It's no problem at all, it's just that if we changed every article based on what people said was correct we'd have huge problems as you can imagine. Thank you for bringing the problem to my attention. FDW777 (talk) 14:15, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
