Talk:Chris Carter (screenwriter)

message: Hi. In what way is this link not appropriate? It is an interview with the subject of this article. I am not in any way affiliated with the subject or with the website. There are other WP articles with links to the same website, at which the subject is interviewed. (The AAT.) Clarification and/or justification please. 203.86.206.206 (talk) 22:26, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: At some point I'll probably have a look at it and see about using it as a source, it certainly looks reliable. If it's used as a source it'll be removed from the external links as they're not meant to be duplicative, but until such time it looks like a good addition. GRAPPLE X 17:46, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of the link to Chris Carter's interview with/at Archive of American Television. 

message: I found this issue when I looked at his Wikidata entry which had two dates of birth. One came from here and the other one from VIAF. Further investigation shows IMDB also has a different year than enwp and so does dewp. Here are a few more links with differing dates:
* http://viaf.org/viaf/14907138/#Carter,_Chris,_1957-....
* http://x-files.wikia.com/wiki/Chris_Carter
* http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/chris-carter/144476
* http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Carter,_Chris/
Anyone who can bring some light into this and correct either Wikidata+dewp or enwp? --LydiaPintscher (talk) 14:24, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: When writing this article, I used a few books with profiles of Carter which were published during the early years of The X-Files; several of these are either "official" publications or involved interviews with Carter and other staff on the series, and they uniformly agree on 1957. I'm unfamiliar with viaf.org, but the other sites listed above are either user-edited or simply mirror content from user edited sites; none of them would pass the bar of WP:RS. As I would see it, a mistake has been made somewhere along the line and has been copied in turn by sites which mirror the information rather than researching it. GRAPPLE X 14:46, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm you're probably right. Will change the other stuff in a few days if no-one else speaks up. --LydiaPintscher (talk) 21:18, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

message: I really hate to sound picky … 
But it turns out Chris Carter has a Wikiquote entry … !
Now, I’ll admit to having no idea how to add it to the bottom of his Wikipedia entry: could someone do the honours, please?
I know I’d find it useful … !
