Mottingham vs Bexley

edit

Was he born in Mottingham or Bexley? Different info in text and infobox... RIMOLA (talk) 08:51, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Mottingham, definitely. If you look at source 1 on the article plus this one, you will see Mottingham is what they display as where he grew up and the linked source here specifically says "born in Mottingham". Not sure where you got Bexley from. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:19, 15 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Date of birth

edit

I have found this source on the article saying he was 32 in March 2018 but that doesn't definitely imply if he was born in 1986 from what I read.

Per Google site search for Rob Beckett date of birth, I see some results saying his full date of birth but I am uncertain as to if the websites are reliable sources or not. I wonder if anyone agrees if any source used from that site search can be used in the article. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:14, 15 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

None are reliable sources. There's his recent autobiography, but that portion isn't available on Google Books and Worldcat shows it only at Australian libraries so I can't get it through ILL. The original source has archive copies on the Wayback Machine, but I get a "you're not in the UK" warning when trying to view it. Schazjmd (talk) 21:20, 15 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
That is a problem re the warning you saw. But I agree that we should leave the infobox and intro as it is at this point. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 22:11, 15 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
