== Miliband Year of Birth == == Department names ==

Got bored and was looking up birth records of famous people and found that Miliband's Year of Birth on wikipedia does not match the one on his birth record. I've checked with multiple birth record lookups. Here is one from Genes Reunited:

I've already tried to change it but it was undone, (probably my fault for not citing). I'm not a massive wikipedia editor but I thought this should be pointed out. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 17:47, 4 May 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:I reverted your edit because you cited no source, and because every source I have seen states December 1969. As for genesreunited.co.uk, not only would it appear not to meet the ] as a source (few genealogy websites do - they tend to consist of user-generated content), but it fails to support your claim - it gives no date, only the year and the quarter. Given that it says 1st quarter 1970, and that you agree that he was born in December, it seems likely that the date given is the date of ''registry'' rather than of birth. Not that it matters, since ''we can't cite a source for a date of birth if it doesn't give one''. If there are actually "multiple sources" giving the December 1970 date, as you claimed in your edit summary, please provide them - because a simple Google search certainly provides a great number of sources stating 1969. ] (]) 18:05, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

== Someone elses moves ==

I removed a detail that is from ''someone else's'' bio, as it is It is irrelevant to Ed Miliband . It is distracting in reading (as the text says later on: his father had 'roving' career, that should do it. Correctly, not all subsequenct job changes of another person are mentioned here). However, it was reverted twice by {{U|Bus stop}}. Full sequence, for the es's:
1: ,
rv by BS
2: , rv by BS: ).

Bus stop motivated the inclusion by explaining that that other person was his father no less, and what had happened to his father. However, I do not dispute those facts. I state that these facts are irrelevant to ''this'' bio. How is it noteworthy for Ed's bio that his father was at the LSE (or even that his father was not at LSE any more)? I see no relevant connection. Including an irrelevant fact is confusing too.



Ed was head of Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change from 2008 to 2010. This is a slighly different department from Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero which is the role he currently holds. I think his 2008 role should be split out from his current role. ] (]) 10:36, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Maybe Bus stop is not convinced by this, but others might think about it. I propose removal. -] (]) 09:02, 13 May 2015 (UTC) <small>-] (]) 09:23, 13 May 2015 (UTC)</small>

Department names

Ed was head of Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change from 2008 to 2010. This is a slighly different department from Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero which is the role he currently holds. I think his 2008 role should be split out from his current role.
