Hey there,
I wanted to know if we could add an extra-verification step when editing birthdates/death dates because I see some errors regarding these dates on actors page.
It doesn't seem to be "added" voluntarily (at least it looks like it) by people, but every month or so I get a bunch of actors with the same (impossible) birthday. Recently, it's May 1th, 2018 (2018-05-01). Example:
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1133349-elizabeth-debicki?language=en-US
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/173810-sayed-badreya?language=en-US
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1180696-beck-bennett?language=en-US
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/14738-malcolm-danare?language=en-US
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/133032-david-horovitch?language=en-US
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/556356-vanessa-kirby?language=en-US
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/990393-erin-moriarty?language=en-US
It would be nice if the birthday added by an user could be cross-checked with other datas regarding an actor. For example, if an actor has some filmography, check if the year of the birthday is at least equal or inferior to the year of the first movie he ever played in. That would avoid this.
Regards

Hi, this is indeed something strange. According to the changes of each profile no such updates were made. Yet, for these few profiles that exact date was somehow entered. Travis can perhaps investigate and see what happened. I fixed one of these the other day, but forgot to post about it. So thanks for the alert!

That will not work for tv series because there are many dates for the first season of a show when the actor appears to be in the show later but wasn't born when the show starts
