Lauren German edit
I have reverted your addition of an unsourced date of birth to Lauren German. In addition to Wikipedia's basic principle of citing sources (Citing sources), a special need for citations applies with regard to elements of a biography of a living person (WP:BLPPRIVACY). Feel free to add a date of birth when it is accompanied by a citation to a reliable, published source. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:27, 26 October 2022 (UTC)


 * It was sourced. RickBulow (talk) 12:48, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Look at the International Movie Database. I got the info from there. RickBulow (talk) 12:49, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, IMDb is not a reliable source for use in Wikipedia articles. Please see WP:IMDB for comments. You will also find it listed at WP:USERGENERATED along with other "websites whose content is largely user-generated is generally unacceptable." Eddie Blick (talk) 00:52, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * IMDb is as legitimate as they come.
 * If not, then why had I seen a few celebrities' IMDb link at the bottom? RickBulow (talk) 12:08, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * In response to your question, "If not, then why had I seen a few celebrities' IMDb link at the bottom?", I assume that you are referring to IMDb links that appear under "External links" headings. Please see WP:IMDB-EL for comments regarding use of IMDb as an external link in contrast to using it as a source within the text of an article. Eddie Blick (talk) 20:54, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
