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.

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 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 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.
A 5 word mention of his resignation and defeat in the GE isn't really that sufficient. I've added some information but I think someone should add information seat losses etc. 86.128.123.174 (talk) 13:37, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
