Is the info on Wikipedia pages inadequate to verify that a modern musician is credited with writing a song written 100 years before he was born?
I simply wanted to split off 4 credits in Soundtracks which belong to the earlier James Yorkston, although the latter does not as yet have his own IMDb page. I pointed this out in my submission. (Two of the soundtracks were in films released even before the modern JY was born.)
Perhaps I did the split wrong; it's a first time. But the substance of the objection is correct.

Hi @hutch48 -
As per our guidelines we do not consider Wikipedia (or other collaboratively edited wiki-style sites) to be an acceptable source for birth dates.
Thanks!

You're also adding the URL as a birthplace. I even have a thread about this mistake keeps getting approved: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/how-are-these-birthplaces-approved/64349e82cab3782a6e0cce0f
