thread_title:  Possible problem when semi-protection is removed 

message: Given that Howard only provided design for four games, two of which only minorly, the disambiguation "video game designer" is not really fitting. It could possibly be "creative director", "producer" or just "executive". Any better suggestions? Lordtobi (✉) 06:35, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

message: So is this guy born in 1970 or 1971? We should be able to figure out which year. Stapmoshun (talk) 01:39, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Howard is very closed regarding his age, he mentioned once how old he is and that is what we can currently go off. Lordtobi (✉) 05:28, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

text: We can't really answer that. We aren't Google. -- ferret (talk) 12:07, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

text: It's coming from Wikipedia. This article used have that as his birth date but it was unsourced and removed. Google parses and presents information from Wikipedia articles in search results because they are usually the top search result. In this case it is still presenting data it parsed from an old revision. --The1337gamer (talk) 12:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems odd that it would pull from a much older version. Is it pulling from Wikidata maybe? There's a date there that's pulling from the Azerbaijani Wikipedia, which uses a source that does not mention the birthdate. Kuru (talk) 12:50, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

text: I believe the current version (with estimated years) should remain in place. The information is far too important to be left out of the lede, besides, it's already included in the infobox. Openlydialectic (talk) 08:17, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birthday 

message: Earler this year I removed the claim that Howard was born in Lower Macungie Township, Pennsylvania because it was unsourced. I tracked the claim back to January 2009, where it was apparently taken from this source. The original is dead and this is the only copy I could find. It also talks about his brother, Jeff. However, I'm not familiar with "Top Gold News"; is it reliable? Lordtobi (✉) 07:10, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Just seems to be a dead blog reprinting copied news articles. However, the original article is from The Morning Call, which appears to be reliable and was written by a professional journalist. Here's a link to the original. Kuru (talk) 11:39, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Birthplace 

message: I think Todd Howard should have the Internet memes category. I added it and it was removed because he's a real person but many real people have the category so I don't see the issue. Promestein (talk) 06:50, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: From WP:CATV: "It should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories." This article does not discuss anything about Howard being a meme. If it did, then the category would be appropriate. As it currently stands, there is nothing in the article or any of its linked sources that would indicate that Howard is a meme. — Katie <3 (talk) 20:15, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: It is not. 25 April is the meme date of the article unlocking and being massively vandalized. The sources we have attest that he was born in 1970. IceWelder [✉] 13:37, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

message: Todd Howard has an autobiography that says he was born April 25, 1971. This autobiography was written in his own words and can be sited by a simple Google Search.
On Wikipedia it mentions an average age of 50-51. And mentions he was born in 1970, not 1971. I would like to request a more accurate update. Thank you for taking the time to consider. Have a lovely evening :) 72.203.240.115 (talk) 10:42, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

message: Hi,
During an interview with WIRED, he said that he not only was the producer but also the level designer, sound effects guy, and even programming some. I think we should change it to design rather than additional design as he's done more than additional design 203.111.184.25 (talk) 09:34, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
