Constant reversion of basic information

edit

Why the hell is information on this article constantly being reverted because "IMDB is an unreliable source"? There's no better source than IMDB for the Clint Eastwood article to say Clint Eastwood was in Dirty Harry. This is common, well-known information. What source other than IMDB do you think should be used to list every well-known tv show this well known actor was in, and why does this article require it when other actor's articles do not? This is childish adherence to the letter of the rules for no good reason. Aredbeardeddwarf (talk) 14:15, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

I assume because the info on IMDb is user generated, it automatically does itself in as being considered a reliable source for anything. Crisso (talk) 17:25, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Birth date

His DOB is on (what appears to be) his official website (although it obviously hasn't been updated lately, his career spanning a lot longer than 35 years) and is backed up by the BMD. Though I think some decent secondary sources wouldn't hurt in this case. I'll keep an eye out. Crisso (talk) 17:21, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
