I'm talking about this, of course.
She had to send her birth certificate to the WMF, just to stop this inane three-year-long squabble. Yet the moronic editwar continued thereafter. (Of course, you realize this shit happens for only one reason: Ms. Landau was on two TV shows that Wiki-twidders obsess over, Buffy and Angel...... (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/hrmph.gif) ) This post has been edited by EricBarbour: |

Can't they include both dates? Can't they say, "Certain newspapers indicate that Juliet Landau was born in 1965, while Juliet Landau, backed by her birth certificate, claim that she was born in 1972"? What happened to "Verifiability, not truth"? It's not up to Wikipedians to decide what the truth is and to force their version of the "truth" down readers' throats.

I know that it sounds weird, but it's hard to believe that this person could have misplaced seven years of her life. Her website (julietlandau.com, Adobe Flash required) says 1972. What possible motivation can she have to spread misinformation about her birth date? This post has been edited by Michaeldsuarez: |
