Greetings! In reference to the edit you reverted, an IP user made the previous edit, not me. Thanks. -- Doclys👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ ^{🩺 • 💉} 02:04, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Zak Johnson

Hello Doclys

I hope you can help me please,,,,

You removed an edit I made regarding Zak Johnson's birth date recently and I'm just trying to get it resolved as it's been published incorrectly ever since his information first appeared on Wikipedia. I am actually his father and can certainly provide his birth certificate as a reliable source but I have no idea how to verify his correct birth date otherwise? Please advise how I can publish Zak's correct date of birth as it should read 25th May 2005?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer to correct this information.

Regards

Phil Johnson

Hello Pjay77, birth certificates are typically considered WP:PRIMARY sources, especially for content about living persons. They may not always meet Wikipedia's standards for WP:RELIABILITY and are often challenged unless used alongside reliable WP:SECONDARY sources.

If you can find a reliable secondary source (like a news article or biography) that cites Zak Johnson's birth date, it would strengthen the case for updating his page. Thank you. — doclys (❀) 05:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello Doclys and thank you for your prompt reply.

I think the source of the incorrect DOB originates from a Football Players database and these are notoriously incorrect with their details but once they're published it's very difficult to change.

However, I noticed in the Playing Career paragraph on Wikipedia that it mentions quite correctly that Zak made his debut for Sunderland in the EFL Trophy on October 13th 2021 when he was age 16 years and 141 days old and this appearance made Zak the youngest outfield player to play for Sunderland in almost 50 years. This fact is correct and if you do the Maths, it certainly proves his date of birth to be 25th May 2005.

I hope this can now be corrected and my edit accepted?

Thanks for your help

Regards

Apologies for the delayed response. I suggest bringing up this issue on the article's talk page for other editors to review. You can also bring this to the attention of experienced editors at WP:BLPN for further assistance. Thank you. — doclys (❀) 06:18, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Rollback

Hi Doclys. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
• Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Fastily 08:58, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
