Eric Christian Olsen edit

I have reverted your addition of a date of birth to Eric Christian Olsen. In addition to Wikipedia's basic principle of citing sources (Wikipedia:Citing sources), a special need for citations applies with regard to elements of a biography of a living person (WP:BLPPRIVACY). Feel free to add a date of birth when it is accompanied by a citation to a reliable, published source.

I don't know why you wrote "'oh this guy is special he needs citation'" in the edit summary. Olsen is not being singled out; WP:BLPPRIVACY should apply to all biographies of living people on Wikipedia. Granted, some BLP articles do not contain citations for dates of birth, but they should be changed as time goes on, either by adding a valid citation for the date of birth or by removing that date until a valid citation can be supplied.
