User blog:Mythril Wyrm/Characters' dates of birth

I mentioned this in a blog post I wrote in 2017, but I think a refresher is now in order.

Since April 12, two unregistered users have either changed or added dates of birth for Carter Blake, Shaun Mars, and four minor characters. I was willing to let the changes to the minor characters' articles stand because their exact DOBs weren't listed and the ones given looked plausible, but any further changes to them will be reverted unless the editor cites a source. The same goes for all the currently listed DOBs - to the best of my knowledge, they're all correct, so you'll need to the cite the character's official character biography (i.e., something from Quantic Dream or a member of the Heavy Rain development team) or another canonical source if you want to change them. Making factual changes to an article without citing a source is a violation of our wiki's rules, and doing it repeatedly is grounds for a ban. This will also make it harder to change a minor character's DOB if a dispute arises, so if you're adding this information, make sure you get it right the first time.

If anyone has questions about or comments on this policy, please let me know.
