Change birthplace from “Lithia Springs” to “Grady hospital, Atlanta”, upon celebrity personal request.

Sourced from celebrity’s Instagram story. Link unavailable due to nature of source, but source still available for reference.Tilewatt (talk) 17:47, 4 November 2024 (UTC) Tilewatt (talk) 17:47, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't do this properly. Ignore, sorry.

Birthplace

[edit]

As multiple edit requests pointed out, Lil Nas X has posted an instagram story (only viewable for a certain amount of time) that says "Who knows how to edit Wikipedia i was born in Atlanta Georgia at Grady hospital not Lithia". This was shut down due to RS policy. What should we do about this, though? "Here's the article that was cited for his birth". 137a (talkedits) 20:12, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The previous attempts to make that request didn't include a link to the source from Lil Nas X's Instagram Story. Given the limited time nature of Instagram Stories, I'm going to try again now with the source included, instead of waiting and risking the Story disappearing before enough of a conversation happens.

Request to change birthplace

[edit]


Change birthplace from “Lithia Springs, Georgia” to “Atlanta, Georgia”.

The source for this information is this post on Lil Nas X's Instagram Story, which is only visible for approximately the next 20 hours. He also includes the name of the hospital, but I left it out because that doesn't seem like relevant information. From my understanding, the reliable sources guidelines allow for the use of primary sources in situations like this one. Davide (talk) 20:43, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, if we link to a source that won't be available in a day, it will be tagged as "needs cite" and then removed. Can you find this information somewhere that will remain visible? PianoDan (talk) 22:53, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Someone updated the article, so this request can be closed. But I don't know how to do that. Davide (talk) 20:25, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
