replies: text: We have two sources supporting 1976 and this has been a contentious issue in the past. I'm unsure of the reliability of the source you provided as well, though if other editors find it acceptable, I'd support that. Can you provide other, perhaps more clearly reliable, sources supporting your desired change? Thanks! DonIago (talk) 18:52, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to mention, the two sources currently in the article are The New York Times and Carbonaro's own hometown newspaper, Newsday. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:48, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Not done: See the sections above this for previous discussions of his birthdate. The sources in the article (his hometown newspaper and the New York Times) disagree. If you can provide reliable sources that disagree with the article, please do so and this can be discussed further. --ElHef (Meep?) 22:33, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

message: To whom it may concern:
According to Google, and Celebritynetworth123.com, the magician, Michael Carbonaro was born April 28, 1982 in New York City. The information from those sources appears very accurate. I "highly" you modify his birth information on the Michael Carbonaro's Wikipedia page, A.S.A.P.
Thank you Kindly!

message: Hi,
Here is a source from FamilySearch for a Michael Carbonaro who reside in Oakdale, New York, and they gave a birthdate as April 28, 1976 -> . Just want to help. --Danielvis08 (talk) 11:46, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: I have found his real birthday.  He revealed it on his show the Carbonaro Effect.  I am not trying to violate anything.  I just want to put his real birthday  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thewiz1998 (talk • contribs) 23:20, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Celebrities fudge their frequently. And apparently  — it's hard to say for sure — he and his friends for quite some time have been attempting to vandalize Wikipedia for his benefit. In addition to everything else, a New York Times article in 2000 gave his age as 24. What explanation would you have for that? --Tenebrae (talk) 22:28, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I think in this circumstance we can't consider changing the date listed without multiple reliable sources providing the "real" birth day...I believe that's the criterion we used for the existing one. Though if there are multiple RSes in favor of the change, perhaps it's most appropriate to have a section discussing the contradiction. DonIago (talk) 05:07, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: After all these years and all this edit warring, I'm still confused as to how Wikipedia, an allegedly impartial and neutral source, can make a judgement call on which birthday is the real one. That violates the alleged neutrality. If you don't know which is which, and you don't, you need to err on the side of caution.68.53.153.55 (talk) 18:47, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I saw a YouTube video of Michael Carbonaro claiming to have won the Magician of the Year Award from the Academy of Magical Arts. I looked it up, he's not listed anywhere on their site. On this page, at the bottom, there is a carousel (I don't know if that's what wikipedia calls it, that's what I call it) for Magician of the Year, and there's 2 entries in there that do not match the Academy of Magical Arts website: 2014 (Michael Carbonaro, should be "Ahmed Adel (Dexter)") and 2015 (Dynamo, should be "Karim Bibs").
Here's the page of the Academy of Magical Arts' Award page (Magic Castle Hall of Fame).
The wikipedia page for the Academy of Magical Arts' Awards has the correct entries (which match the external website), it's just the carousel that doesn't match.
Did somebody vandalize the carousel to support Michael Carbonaro's claim on a YouTube video?

replies: text: I have since found this and this, 2 newsletter issues from the Magic Castle that confirm that Dynamo was the actual winner of Magician of the Year for 2015, even though their own website says otherwise.
