DYK[edit]

I was wondering what was with the flurry of edits, didn't realize it was going to be on the main page soon. Thanks for all the fixes! ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:46, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate[edit]

Hey there, is Twitter an okay source for their birth date (mm-dd, no year) if it was posted by they themselves?

I know it isn't normally a reliable source.

Thanks in advance. UfoTheUfo (talk) 19:30, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published and questionable sources as sources on themselves covers this. I believe I've seen in discussions that the tweet has to be pretty clear, rather than just saying they're having a party, or what have you.
