Celebrity date of birth (DOB) issues

Hello community - I am a faithful IMDb fan and I use the site almost every day (cuz I’m a movie addict).  WHY did they start leaving the year off of celebrities DOB’s?  I go to IMDb for MANY different reasons and now if I want to find EXACTLY when someone was born, I have to go to Wikipedia which still has the full DOB’sb.  I would like to know why this change was made.  All celebrity info can still be found in other places and I think the site should go back to full DOB’s.  I personally would like to only have to go to to IMDb for all my celebrity and entertainment information.

@Kurschybee  Please see https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbprocom/imdbpro-introduces-additional-control-options-for-professionals/6398881090844c35240ee041  IMDb still supports full dates of birth, however, via the announcement above, we also support the removal of birth years by professionals who have claimed their own name page and do not wish it to be displayed.  Hope this helps.

@Col_Needham​ "IMDb still supports full dates of birth, however, via the announcement above, we also support the removal of birth years by professionals who have claimed their own name page and do not wish it to be displayed. " I'm afraid you can't have it both ways. Or, as the OP said, "I personally would like to only have to go to to IMDb for all my celebrity and entertainment information."
