what's he got to do with australia?

or at least, his page?! i've just majorly updated his page, it needed an overhaul, and i hope what i've done is decent enough. it was all wrong before, just a paragraph of his work, no coding, nothing!! looks alright now, although definitely needs more info, but it's hard to come by. there's not even a reference to prove his age... maybe one day that'll all be available somewhere! 194.221.133.211 (talk) 09:59, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i've removed coding about australia, as it would seem there is an australian basketball player, with this name, but it's obvious it's not the same person... 194.221.133.211 (talk) 10:04, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Need references for birth location and birth date

This article was obviously completely sourced from IDMB which is not a WP:reliable source of biographical information. IMDB shows born Born: February 16, 1994 in Los Angeles, California, USA, making him an American actor, if true. After a fairly extensive web search I could find no references that meet reliable source standards to verify this. One non-IMDB source was in article, Matthew Knight at Media Kid Vids last updated Sunday October 4, 2009. Unfortunately Media Kid Vids looks to be an aggregater of info from other places (most likely IMDB again) and there is no indication that they have a reputation for fact checking that would meet wiki reliable source requirements. Because the info has been in the article a long time and not challenged until now, the unreferenced info was left in the article as it was presumed likely true.

On October 15, 2011 an IP editor from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada changed the data (see [1]) to show born Jan. 24, 1994 in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, making him Canadian. Given the location of the IP editor this is at least plausible, but also unsupported with a reference. Because of the wiki policy of Dealing with edits by the subject of the article and the possibility (but not certainty) that this is the case here, I removed all info pertaining to birth and age from the article. --Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:40, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I found a reference, http://www.yorkregion.com/news/article/966823--new-show-pokes-fun-at-genre, that gives his age as 17 on March 15, 2011 which means birth year of either 1993 or 1994. Also used this reference to update some other info in article. I also checked his credits and they were filmed in Canada so I put that he is a Canadian (Canadian as in an attribute of Canada as opposed to a nationality) actor. That is the normal presumption for people who work and live in a given country. Geraldo Perez (talk) 05:19, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aw, darn it! Just as I thought. Silly IMDB! Thank you very much indeed for the information. Don-Don (talk) 18:02, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
