Date of birth?
- Graham, is there any way you'd be willing to share your date of birth for your article? Dates help us improve the wiki and tends to make articles feel more complete. However I understand the need for privacy as well, so at the very least a year of birth would be much appreciated. --Wheresdib 09:06, 22 August 2008 (PDT)
