message: The first sentence of the article claimed that McDonald was a singer and an LGBTQ activist. That may or may not be true, but the article did not explain what activism she's involved in. Being an entertainer who sings at a benefit concert or opens a pride parade does not equate in any metric to an "activist" role. As that was the only mentions of anything even slightly related to advocacy, I removed the title unless there can be additional sourcing for what role she plays in activism.

message: Regarding my edit on 12/09/19 (was unable to sign in) "Was 9 when she received award from Audrey Hepburn in 1988. Cannot have been born in 1987 and got the award in 1996, 3 years after Hepburn died." Is there anyone who can find a source for a birthdate that is useable?   rdunntlak  18:55, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Your edit changed the birth date in the article from 9 September 1987 to 9 September 1979. Your assumptions to do so are tough to follow.
First, the article currently says she was born 9 September 1987. However, this date is unsourced in the infobox and does not occur in the body of the article.
Next, the article seems to say she was 9 when she received the award, but the only source for the paragraph does not give an age. Instead, the source merely says the song is "Winner Of The Danny Kaye Award 1988) - Tara McDonald".
For your birth date, you are adding up an unsourced birth day and month, an unsourced age on an unspecified day and month in 1988.
The solution from what we have is to remove the unsourced information. If we can find reliable sources for any of it later, we can add it back in. If, as sometimes happens, we end up with conflicting information, we don't try to harmonize. Instead, we cite what we have, warts and all. (If, for example, all of the information currently in the article were sourced, we would end up citing two conflicting birth dates.) - SummerPhDv2.0 00:33, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
