Hello, I'm FDW777. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Rachel Nichols (actress), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! FDW777 (talk) 07:02, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * My apologies! I recently searched Wikipedia for Rachel Nichols, and I noticed that her birth date is not given.  Since such information is pretty much always provided for celebrities and other well known people, I searched elsewhere for Ms. Nichols, and I found that information on the IMDb website.  Not being familiar with the editing protocol on Wikipedia, I neglected to provide this source.  Should I go back and edit it again and this time list the source?

 * Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the dates of birth of celebrities are something frequently added by well-meaning editors. See WP:DOB for more guidance regarding the inclusion of the date of birth of a living person. IMDB is not considered a reliable reference, see WP:IMDB regarding this.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Rachel Nichols (actress), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.

As explained above, IMDB is not a reference. FDW777 (talk) 20:50, 29 March 2022 (UTC)


 * OK then, how about just adding her age? In addition, IMDb is not the only website where her actual birth date is published, so it's definitely out there.  Let me know.
