Spanish descent

Someone has added that he is of Spanish descent through his grandfather. Leto's lineage is commonly disputed so for such a statement, especially one of such a minor impact (being 1/4 Spanish) allegedly should not be admitted without appropriate sourcing and referencing. 2.25.94.231 (talk) 21:46, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Smiley[reply]

Irish Catholic

Someone added that he's of Irish Catholic descent. Does anyone have a good source? I've just never seen anything similar mentioned anywhere. JackO'Lantern 07:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leto is a surname you can find in Calabria, Italy, so he can be catholic...
    • Grandmother Ruby attended Lutheran and took trips to Scotland with Jared's mom when she was young**

Okay, this article says that Leto was born in Louisiana and the UK. Obviously he can't be born in both places, so which one was it? And who cares if he's gay or not?


Leto is the name of his ADOPTED father, Fony Leto,...so who knows. He has stated that he is from Louisiana..don't know where the UK thing came from. Nor the Irish comment???

What's with the Neil James thing, too?


noo leto is his actual father's last name. him ands jareds mom split up. but leto is his real last name. i dont think he is irish. he wouldve said so. and he has said that he was christian somewhere... i dont remember where or when but he said it

tony is thename of his real father but i keep reading that his last name isnt really leto but its the name of his step father who adopted him. sad, it hink he never really got to know his real father:( —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.74.194.132 (talk) 21:31, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If his ancestry is from Calabria then he has Greek ancestry as from about 800 b.c. what is now Italy, was founded by the Greeks, especially the southern part of Italy like Calabria, Salento from Salentia, Naples/Napoli from Neapolis, Syracuse, etc. Italy was called Magna Graecia for many centuries.

As for Leto herself, according to Greek Mythology, Zeus loved this maiden,who was known as Leto of the Dark Robe. She bore him two children, the most radiant ever born. Hera flew into a furious jealous tantrum, worse than any she had ever displayed before, because it had been foretold that these twins would outshine all her own children. She had known this even before they were born and had cursed Leto's labors, forbidding her to give birth anywhere the sun had ever shone. Leto wandered the earth looking for a place where the sun had never shone but could find none. Finally, Zeus raised an island which had been floating undersea - the island of Delos. Zeus raised it to the surface and anchored it there. Since the sun had never shone on Delos, it could not be touched by Hera's curse and Leto was able to begin her labors. She bore Artemis (coincidentally the name of one of Jared Leto's guitars?) and Apollo, who became gods of the moon and the sun, greater by far than any of Hera's children.

Leto is accented on the "o" in ancient and modern Greek. A soft "o". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.131.14.128 (talk) 04:45, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know if he can speak Greek at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.156.167 (talk) 00:43, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From what I've been able to find, he isn't Italian (or Greek). It appears that his father was a WASP from Kentucky and his maternal grandparents were Cajun/part Cajun from the south. Leto is definitely a stepfather's surname. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 10:00, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Band

Anyone gonna add anything about his band? They're singles have been on the air over here in ohio


I was at lollapollozaa in chiago [aug.6.06] and 30 seconds to mars were absolutley incredible. I cant stand how you people obsess over his looks. Yes I agree he is strongly attractive , but his music is more honorable. He dosent get true fans by his past acting career's. When I was at lollapollozaa he climbed the stage while singing a song. I'm not talking climbing a few marshalls , I'm talking the metal bars holding the stage. Then he threw out roses and Popsicles out to the crowd. He talked to the crowd and was EXSTREMLY friendly. He came off the satage and talked. His brother and the other band mates played a most incredible set. I just want to say if you EVER get a chance to go see them. DO IT !!!

[note:30 seconds to mars were so generous to the fans at the signing unlike the band , she wants revenge ]

I seen the band at Bamboozle, May 9th 06, and they to were incredible. and they also there to signed merch for their fans and stuff. And for anyone to dislike the band because Jared Leto is also an actor and because they feel that because of that he really didn't have to work to hard to get a record deal, is just obsurd because this band is so good and has amazing talent it would be a crime not to like 30 Seconds to Mars.--MyChemical 01:37, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vanity Project?

I'm seeing what seems to be a conflict here: On the main page for his band, I quote the line, "Although Leto is a Hollywood actor, he originally preferred not to use this information to promote the band; in fact, the band used to refuse to play at venues that use his fame to promote shows." I don't see how one can label this a vanity project if that statement is, in fact, true, regardless of affinity for Mr. Leto or the band and their music.

Nevermind. I must have had an old revision open, that comment seems to have been removed/reverted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ipso-De-Facto (talk • contribs) 12:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

There is no mention anywhere of Leto's custom made Steve McSwain guitars, and there should be.

I was going to contribute this to the 30STM page, but I got told it should go here instead, but I feel it should be mentioned on both, because it is quite a big point to musicians interested in custom equipment, and Jared Leto / 30STM fans.

My original 'talk' was: "I've just been reading, and I think there should be a section to mention Jared's custom made guitars - the Steve McSwain models, which McSwain has called "Gryphon" (both the black and the white ones) yet Jared has named the white one "Pythagoras" after the Greek philosopher and mathematician, and I can't remember what he called the black one - but it will be something Greek.

The design was drawn by Jared and given to McSwain, who made the guitars from scratch, and the image of a Griffin / Gryphon has been carved into them, they use a single Seymour Duncan pickup at the bridge and only have a volume control."

Look let's just get over it and say that Jared Leto is one of the greatest acto/director/musician of all time and that his band thirty seconds to mars is just as great

Question concerning Movie listings=

I have checked Jared Leto's movie lists on various sites and I do not see Phone Booth which starred Colin Farrell. I may be mistaken but I could swear that Jared Leto was one of the Colin's character's clients - Colin played a promoter and Jared appeared as a musician. Anyone have anything to back this up or did I just see someone who looked like him?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 167.181.12.201 (talk) 23:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

According to IMDB's listing for Phone Booth in the Trivia section, Leto's scene was deleted from the film, but was then returned for television airings. - TJLink 08:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC) Jared Leto is now definately with a woman named Stephani from Philadelphia as they have been seen together in Belgium while filming Mr. Nobody and have been spotted in People Magazine and US Weekly as well as him admitting to their relationship on avid Letterman on July 7, 2007 - a day before her birthday. This proves he is NOT gay and happily with a blonde beauty. He seemd obsessed with her.[reply]

In the movie section it lists "last of the high kings" and "summer fling" these are both the same movie, "summer fling" being the USA release title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.134.52.129 (talk) 02:15, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing Reversion by Erishi

I've watched this for a few days now. Erishi posts unsubstaniated information. Calling Leto a "pathological liar" and other bits. People have been correcting it and they return and post it all again.

They need to stop. And note to Erishi, a tabloid is NOT a reliable source for correct information.

I have removed their revisions.

Sorry I didn't sign it the first time, edited my own post.

I'm completely new to this, so sorry if I do it wrong. I think calling Leto a pathological liar could be a little too much, but as far as a reputation of fabricating stories - that could be included. For a source, I could link you to 15+ interviews where it is obvious he is making up stories. And a couple where he admits to it... what's the big deal. It's fun for the fans. Truthordie 05:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicting Statements

In the opening paragraph, it is stated that Jared Leto is married. However, in the trivia section, it is said that he's currently single. Would anyone mind clearing this up? Thanks. --Earnestlylamour 03:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Lord of War

There needs to be more in this article about his acting career and especially his role in Lord of War which would easily be his most prominent movie role yet.

May 28, 2007

I have removed the Trivia section - please see WP:BLP. Biographies of living people do not support trivia sections. Most of the information within the section was irrelevant to most of his biography. His weight gain for his films could be included as trivia within that film or in time, when a better perspective can be achieved on his work, what influence or importance it had on his body of work. --Ozgod 02:47, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Biography

Yesterday I added the Biography section for Leto. Other than the filmography, the article didn't mention anything about his film career and focused solely on his role as singer of the band 30 Seconds to Mars. I also trimmed that section because it mentioned irrelevant information about the band member changes, record sales, etc. that belong to the bands article. I'm also reluctant to keep the line about Leto breaking his nose in a concert. I don't see that's so relevant to the article. Thief12 15:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

dates wrong??

I noticed that under career someone put the year 1962 down as the year he moved to LA, that's odd considering he was born in 1971. Please could someone fix this? thanks69.95.37.70 20:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a vegetarian: Doesn't eat red meat!

Jared never stated he was a vegan or the like. He stated in a live interview he doesn't eat red meat. He seen and known to eat eggs and chocolate milk. And especially loves fries....cooked in vegetable oil of course!

Edit: I am correcting my previous statement. Jared never said publically he was vegetarian but that does not mean he is one or not. Vegetarians can eat meat (like eggs) just not red meat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.72.10 (talk) 01:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Um, you're not supposed to eat the eggs with meat in them. You're supposed to eat the eggs where the hens have been kept seperate from the roosters (if you don't know what effect this would have on the eggs, you're too young to use the internet, there's bad stuff out there). Your way would be disgusting (granted, the act of eating eggs in general is disgusting if you think about it. "Kids, it's that time of the month!

Requiem for a Dream

The Harry Goldfarb character was not a heroin addict, as is stated in the Wiki page, he was a Methamphetamine addict. Please correct.

you're wrong..in the wiki page of requiem.... it says numerous times that Harry injects himself with heroin...not meth. The one who was a meth adict was Harry's mom, even thought she didnt know it

Harry was a heroin addict, his mother was an amphetamine addict, not methamphetamine. Please watch the movie before editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.19.189.220 (talk) 07:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong director alias and album date.

The video for A Beautiful Lie wasn't directed by Bartholomew Cubbins. Instead it was a different alias, Angakok Panipaq. Also, the album of the same name was released in 2005, not 2006.

French in Mr Nobody

The article says, under Other Notes for Mr Nobody, that Leto 'Speaks French in this role.' He doesn't speak French in the film, but said in an interview that he had to speak 'cinéma French' on set, in order to understand the Belgian director, for example when he would ask for silence, of for the actors to be on set.

He doesn't speak French. It is the most wicked of lies, sir, and could do with a forceful jab of editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MonsieurClopin (talk • contribs) 17:04, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vegetarian

The sentence about Jared being a vegetarian does not belong in the section it is in. Or, the sentence should at least be reworded so that the subject of the sentence relates to the section it's in, while still parenthetically stating that Jared is a vegetarian.

Career

In section film it is stated Leto initially went to Hollywood to pursue a music career but it can not be actually verified because he has never stated such a thing before. So there is no reason to write such a thing as he was only focused on developing an acting career (what can be actually confirmed by the facts and then-interviews) and officially became involved in music when formed a band years later. It is completely unacceptable to include this in the article as long as it looks like a fiction story.

Relationships

User:John has edited the article to remove sourced material and the relationships section is almost empty with his version. I have paid some attention to his contention, but on this article there isn't any gossip. Entertainment Weekly, msnbc.com and UGO Networks are all reliable non-gossip sources (NNDB and Yuddy also speak about these relationships). And these sources meet WP:BLPGOSSIP and WP:BLPSOURCES. I will revert one more time and invite him to discuss this here.--Earthh (talk) 00:00, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a gigantic sinkhole of fannish enthusiasms, promotionally phrased commentary, and other sorts of unencyclopedic writing, of which the uncalled-for detailing of the subject's social life is one of the more prominently inappropriate parts. The material at issue here was riddled with speculation and carried no indications of significance in the context of the subject's overall life and career. NNDB is clearly no a reliable source, and the other sources mentioned often mix gossip into their coverage of celebrity's personal lives. If nothing at issue here is quite as dreadful as the deathless prose like "Sporting a mean set of cornrows" that I've just removed, it's still not suitable for an encyclopedic article. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 02:03, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have restored some sourced material. Leto dated his Chapter 27 co-star Lohan and this is sourced. I don't see how this can be called unencyclopedic. Now there isn't any speculation and his relationships are part of his personal life (and again, they are sourced). Oh, and if you want, you can leave a comment for the peer review.--Earthh (talk) 15:39, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing removal of sourced content

There is encyclopedic material removed without reason, breaching WP:BLP.

  • My So-Called Life: "Although the show didn't have a long run, it has developed a large cult following in the years since it was cancelled." sourced by AOL
  • Panic Room: "The film grossed over $30 million in its opening weekend in the United States, Leto's biggest box office opening success of his career so far". is actually written better than "the best performance of a film Leto has appeared in to date."
  • Alexander: "The film was marked by controversy for portraying the ancient conqueror as bisexual, and received criticism from some historians for its portrayal of the ancient Persians, though others praised it for its accuracy in these regards as well." sourced by RFE/RL
  • Lonely Hearts: "Leto later starred in 2006's Lonely Hearts, the story of two America's most brutal murderers, Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck." The film is based on the real story of this two people.
  • Chapter 27: "While Leto did a committed job embodying the behaviour and speech patterns of Chapman, the film received mixed to negative reviews, and was generally considered a disappointment." sourced by EW
  • Mr. Nobody: "Leto's role as Nemo Nobody required him to play the character as far aged as 118, even as he undergoes a soul searching as to whether his life turned out the way he wanted it to." This is the role played by Leto in the film.
"Critical response has praised the film's artistry and Leto's acting." sourced by Break Media
  • The various Kerrang!'s "Sexiest Male" awards and other accolades are significant for the in the media section.
  • Relationships: "In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Leto, one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People", was involved in relationships with Kristi McDaniel, Cameron Diaz and Scarlett Johansson." sourced by EW
"Also reportedly involved with Ashley Olsen and Jessica Simpson, Leto began dating his Chapter 27 co-star Lindsay Lohan in 2005. After the film premiere, Leto was in the headlines for lashing out at a photographer at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, after he had reportedly ended the relationship with the unstable actress, stating that he was uncomfortable with being the object of paparazzi." sourced by msnbc.com and UGO Entertainment.

The material is significant in the context of the subject's overall life and career. Every source used meet WP:SOURCES and I will re add this content if no explanation of its removal is given. Now some content makes no sense because parts of it was pruned.--Earthh (talk) 00:37, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, even if it's sourved. Last week, without discussion, you quintupled the length of this article, adding huge swathes of material that is questionable under our BLP and NPOV policies and which serves little in the way of encyclopedic purposes. The WMF resolution on biographies is quite on point here: Many people create articles that are overly promotional in tone: about themselves, people they admire, or those they are paid to represent. These are not neutral, and have no place in our projects. Generally, the Wikimedia community protects the projects well against this common problem by deleting or improving hagiographies.[1] And quite a bit of the material is questionably sourced at best. The Linday Lohan content is particularly problematic: phrasing like "unstable actress" is plainly inappropriate; the cited sources don't support important aspects of the claims they're cited for; and the cited sources are essentially gossip columns, regardless of who publishes them. When consensus is as clearly expressed against you as it was in the preceding section, it's a very bad idea to present the sort of ultimatum you've presented here. It is quite likely to lead to unpleasant editing experiences. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 02:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think that removing sourced material needs a discussion before. I'm promoting no one. Every information I added is significant in the context of the subject's overall life and career, and meet WP:BLP. Removing all these information (from My So-Called Life to Leto's relationships) only because is phrasing "unstable actress" is unacceptable.

Third, I have added current projects whit sources in the section Recent roles and the future.

Where do I start? Let's look at some of your wordings.
  • "His fine acting in the addiction drama won praise and raves from film critics."
  • "He also starved himself for months, losing 28 pounds to realistically play his heroin addict character."
  • "the story of two America's most brutal murderers"
  • "While Leto did a committed job embodying the behaviour and speech patterns of Chapman"
  • "even as he undergoes a soul searching as to whether his life turned out the way he wanted it to."
  • "Internationally viewed as a sex symbol,"
All inappropriate. And why the cruft in the relationships section was removed has already been covered at the talk page. Nymf hideliho! 12:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What's up with the awards/nominations part of his filmography? There's no source anywhere for this, it's all made up! 86.61.106.194 (talk) 17:02, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The awards and nominations are taken from IMDb. In the article there are various accolades with the respective sources. Moreover, in the films articles there are better sourced lists.--Earthh (talk) 18:48, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, no. None of these supposed nominations are listed on IMDb and among other things, BFCA didn't have nominees back in 1999 and the NBR doesn't have nominees and so on... This is pure fabrication. 86.61.39.154 (talk) 17:25, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Film

I'll bring this up again. The whole awards section of his filmography is a lie. There is absolutely no source for any of this. His IMDB awards page does not cite any of those nominations. How such a fabrication can go unnoticed on Wikipedia is beyond me. As for his crazy fans, please consider whether making it up that he was nominated for any of these awards means anything. 86.61.109.24 (talk) 12:01, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You were right, some awards were made up. I removed them and fixed the filmography. The current awards are sourced by a book, Jared Leto by Hilmar Bender. Thanks for notification.--Earthh (talk) 19:49, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Philanthropy Section

While it is true that Leto supports equal rights for homosexuals, it is likely not notable that he tweeted at Obama. I realize that the tweet is "cited", but I would advocate for its removal, as it is hardly a notable tweet, and does not significantly add to the content of the section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thegeniusboy05 (talk • contribs) 02:29, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Biographical edits

In keeping with our policy on biographical articles, I've edited some of the personal and more, um, salacious details that were very poorly sourced:

Early life and education

Most of this section was referenced three sources:

  • "Jared Leto: I enjoy the process of work". Education and Career (175): 11. March 2011" - If there is a readily available source for this then let's have it, but we have a large swath of very specific personal details being sourced to something no one has really seen. Surely there's a backing source for all this information? If we find it, fine.
  • Biography from TV Guide - Unreliable source as there is no author and no apparent tertiary sources; contains little personal details anyway.
  • Biography from tribute.ca - Same problem: Non-reliable source. Nowhere in there does it say what the sources are for the personal details. Is it an interview? Where is the editorial oversight? Again, lots of personal details with no secondary backing sources. In contrast, interviews from Movieline and The Telegraph (which I used) are much more reliable.
  • Kerrang! - Offline but not contesting that this is a reliable source.

So I took what I had from the NYT and the Telegraph and refactored the whole section, leaving alone the Kerrang interview.

2000–06: Worldwide recognition

  • "To prepare for his role in the film, Leto decided to live on the streets of New York City and refrain from having sex with his then fiancé, Cameron Diaz, for two months prior to shooting." Sourced to WENN, no secondary online backing source found. At all. Not even going there.
  • "After the shooting of the film, Leto moved to Portugal, shaved his head and lived in a monastery for several months to gain weight." Two sources. The first one didn't even mention that, and the second was WENN/Albawaba. I was unable to find a backing source for this, although this briefly mentions the on- and off-set problems caused by the effort put into the role by Leto. No other site mentions any monasteries or head shaving. The additional statement sourced to that was replaced with essentially the same thing off the Telegraph interview.

Relationships

  • "Leto began dating Cameron Diaz in 1999 and the couple became engaged in 2000.[150] In 2003, they ended their four-year relationship." The engagement part was sourced to a gossip site, and the second is not available online. I see a lot of gossip and Yahoo Questions about the alleged engagement, but not a single verifiable statement one from either person that would back that. So let's just leave it at "Leto dated actress Cameron Diaz between 1999 and 2003". In fact, the Telegraph interview above and this specifically mention that he won't talk about that at all.

Name

Our law firm represents Jared Leto. Please be advised that the Wikipedia artical about Jared Leto contains erroneous and unverified information which we request be immediately corrected. Jared Leto was not born Jared Bryant. This needs to be deleted from his page and form all articles regarding Jared Leto. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Legal Representative (talk • contribs) 19:54, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia Page about Jared Leto contains erroenous information which should be corrected. He was not born Jared Bryant. His name has always been Jared Leto. 19:56, 17 December 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Legal Representative (talk • contribs)

I have removed it [3] with edit summary: remove "Jared Bryant" claim , the source only says his father is Tony Bryant, my Google hits are Wikipedia mirrors. We shouldn't assume he got his fathers last name if no source says it. PrimeHunter (talk) 21:31, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. I raised the same concerns at User talk:Earthh#Jared Leto 2, where a couple of users have been discussing it. It is a good source for the name of his dad, but using it as a source for Leto's birth name is original synthesis at best. Nymf (talk) 21:58, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The claim that Tony Bryant is Jared Leto's natural father is erroneous. It is based on an Ancestry.com entry for a marriage of a Constance Metrejon in 1969 to a Tony L Bryant. This is the year before Shannon Leto was born. However, the marriage took place in Texas, not Louisiana, where Constance Leto's family appear to be based. Someone has simply put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5. It is not the correct Constance Metrejon.

I have removed the second reference to Tony Bryant in the Early Life section, although someone reverted the edit. I have removed it again.Jarrit29 (talk) 19:45, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you say the statement that Tony Bryant is Jared's biological father is incorrect? The Polish article about Jared states that Tony Bryant and Constance Metrejon separated a few months after their second son's (Jared's) birth. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 08:56, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Haven't you read what is at the start of this post? His legal representatvie says that his name was never Jared Bryant. Just because someone has found a Constance Metrejon on Ancestry.com does not make it the correct Constance Metrejon. Apart from which, the marriage took place in Texas, not Louisiana,which is where the Leto/Metrejon family orginate from. In addition, Constance Metrejon's father is variously named as Edmund or Willie, which makes you think there might just be more than one Constance Metrejon. Also, I have also seen Jared Leto's natural father named as something like Antony Duvoir, and there are also claims that Robert Greenwood, who is frequently photographed with the Leto brothers, is their half-brother, and that this can be proven by Ancestry.com entries. So, take your pick what his birthname, if not Leto, is. Louisiana is a 'closed' state and birth records are not available to the general public for 100 years after the envent, so unless Jared Leto himself chooses to reveal what his birth name is, no one is going to know for certain. The legal representative seems to be saying that it actually is Leto.Jarrit29 (talk) 13:37, 27 December 2013 (UTC)Jarrit29[reply]
There's no source which proves that Tony Bryant is Jared's father. However, Constance Metrejon is well-sourced as Jared's mother.--Earthh (talk) 12:49, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe for one minute that a law firm for Jared Leto is monitoring this page. If so,they cannot spell the word from. They spelled it form,(This needs to be deleted from his page and form all articles regarding Jared Leto.). I'm sure a legit legal firm would at least type in the Firm's name. 98.240.76.78 (talk) 02:24, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jared's guitars

Thanks for your contributions JeanJaramillo! Just to inform you, I have declined your edit in good faith, since the "Instruments" used section defines what type of instruments are used by the person, not what kind of instruments are used. In a broader sense, it doesn't seem to fit in over there. However you may request addition of other verifiable facts with a reference, and I will add them in the article.
