[edit] John Reames

Hi Tom, what date does the birth certificate say on it? GiantSnowman 16:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

19 feb 1942

OK, but he died in May 2008 (giving a death date of 66), but all the sources provided - even the Lincoln City F.C. website - say he died at the age of 65; I'm very confused !!GiantSnowman 10:35, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

An error by one journalist then plagarised by others perhaps? Most important could you add a photo image to the page please. Thanks

Could be very well the case, but as I'm sure you can appreciate Wikipedia needs verifiable sources, so 65 must remain for the time being. As for the photo - if you can find one on a website then post the link here & I'll upload the photo as soon as I can. GiantSnowman 01:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

photo: http://www.sportsecho.co.uk/media/articles/0905_web_johnreames.JPG did someone shrink the article yesterday? thanks

As the articles referring to the age aren't ever going to change then how do you suggest we get this article accurate? Scan u copy of birth or death cert?

I've asked fellow editors at WP:FOOTBALL for advice as how to proceed, you can follow the discussion there if you wish. Regards, GiantSnowman 12:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Appreciated. Any luck with photo?

Hi, we've managed to sort out the birthdate - I've put a note on Talk:John Reames explaining what's happened - so hope that's all sorted now. Regarding the photo: I've put a request in at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions for someone to check that the photo doesn't breach any copyright; if all's OK then I'll add it to the article.
