@MikeAllen: I changed the citation for his birthdate because the cleveland.com source ([1]) looked to me like the kind of article where the writer likely pulled up Wikipedia, IMDB, etc to get a list of famous birthdays without thoroughly verifying that they were accurate, and I wanted to find a more trustworthy source to make sure there wasn't any potential citogenesis. His Twitter profile ([2]) does say "Born January 26" (fourth line of the bio, next to "Ireland" and "Joined May 2011"), and the IrishCentral article ([3]) says he was 29 as of January 19, 2011, which supports him being born in 1981. I'm happy to discuss if you disagree about the sources! Aerin17 (t • c) 01:14, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
It is his own verified Twitter account, which is explicitly permitted per WP:ABOUTSELF and probably a better source about his own birthday than a local newspaper. I'm going to go ahead and change it back, if you don't feel that strongly (and, yeah, it doesn't matter that much). Aerin17 (t • c) 01:57, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
