Claudia Bassols
You recently changed the listed birth date for Claudia Bassols to one that does not match the sources cited, do you have another source for her birthday? —MJBurrage(T•C) 00:50, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

The article from October 3, 2007 says that the first episode will be filming soon. In that episode—filmed mid-October—they celebrate her birthday. Then in another article she is listed as 29 in the first week of October 2008. Hence she turned 30 in mid-October 2008, and was therefore born in 1978. Do you have a third source? —MJBurrage(T•C) 18:34, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Violet30, when you changed the date in the article again today you left the following note:
 * I have once again changed (for the third time) her birthday. She was born in 1979 and not 1978!!! The only thing I can send you is her passport. Here is the reply I got from Wikipedia :)

The issue is not whether "Wikipedia" believes you or not, everything on here—especially about living people—needs to have a reliable source. This basically means no blogs, bulletin boards, fan postings, gossip sites etc.

A published interview, government website, or some other independent source is needed to support a change from the two sources the article has now. In other words it is not enough to say that you know a fact like a birthday, you have to cite a source that can be verified.

Also the birthday you claim (October 3) contradicts the sources since an article published on the 3rd mentions that filming has not started yet, and her birthday was during filming.
