Request for Comments

There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 22:06, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Is there any source saying Ed Miliband's religion is "None"? Bus stop (talk) 23:16, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

The cite on "None" in the infobox entitled "Ed Miliband: I don't believe in God" (Daily Telegraph). Rwendland (talk) 15:03, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Miliband Year of Birth

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: Miliband Birth Record

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haza2169 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages reliability requirements 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.

Ted Milliband

Trivial so no ----Snowded 08:59, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Page hacked?

The only thing I see is a red page with Ed Miliband's picture and 'Vote Miliband'? Does anybody knows what's going on? --Wester (talk) 15:09, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

I've found the source. It was this edit by anonymous user 87.100.227.109 that caused all the trouble.--Wester (talk) 15:18, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately it's already picked up by press: .--Wester (talk) 15:37, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Hopefully they won't have had time to get this one. This is Paul (talk) 18:15, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
