Birthday

Hawkins again spent part of 1 March thanking fans on Twitter, for greetings on his birthday that day. These:

are just a few of dozens of examples; the latter is a message from his professional peers at Shropshire Live, using their official Twitter account.

Hawkins also retweeted foreign-language birthday greetings addressed to him (that's one of several examples), appealed for more followers as a birthday present and posted a picture of his birthday cake, which can be seen here: yfrog.com/hs1n4rmj complete with candles.

Can we now drop the pretence that his birthday isn't known publicly, known at his instigation and discussed by him? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 19:29, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

WP:DOB: "Misplaced Pages includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object. If the subject complains about the inclusion of the date of birth, or the person is borderline notable, err on the side of caution and simply list the year." Drop it Andy.

Which part of that self-contradictory prose do you think precludes publication of Hawkins' widely-self-publicised DoB? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 20:48, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
