Torres[edit]

I found two sources, one is IMDb. Both are reliable, his birthday is February 11, 1987. Emphasis01 (talk) 03:54, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Emphasis01! You'll need to add the sources to the article itself (see: WP:CITEFOOT) for the "citation needed" tag to be removed. Wikipedia generally doesn't treat IMDb as a firm source for personal information like birth dates, only for hard data about released films, see WP:CITINGIMDB. What is the other source?

Maria Bird-Browne[edit]

Hi. Maria Bird-Browne is not the youngest female member of parliament in the Commonwealth. See for instance Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, who is a 21-year-old MP in the New Zealand Parliament. Peter Ormond 💬 15:23, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Peter Ormond! That was in reference to when she took office in 2018. I added "at that time" in both instances to clarify, does that work? Can couch further if need be. Bookworm-ce (talk) 17:38, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems fine but IMO it will get better if that trivia bit is removed from the lede. Peter Ormond 💬 22:03, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
