Talk:Vitamin C (singer)

message: Most if not all Internet sources for Colleen Fitzpatrick's birthdate are WRONG. She was born on July 20, 1969. I know because I went to high school with her. She graduated from Cedar Ridge HS in Old Bridge, NJ, in 1987. Birth records for South Amboy, NJ, where she was born to Vida and Jerry Fitzpatrick, list her birth date as July 20, 1969. She is therefore 38 years old. She has persistently shaved between one and 5 years from her age since the "Vitamin C" phase of her career began.

thread_title: Actual birthdate

message: Colleen Fitzpatrick had a popular hit in 1999 with the single "Smile."
That single was from her self-titled debut album, "Vitamin C."
The follow-up single during the spring of 2000 was "Graduation (Friends Forever)." The song would become a smash hit among prom-attending teens and graduating high school seniors.
Dracula 2000 was neither a horror masterpiece nor directed by Wes Craven (who in actuality produced). --Wasabe3543 15:29, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Smile" & "Graduation (Friends Forever)" 

message: The page for Colleen Fitzpatrick at Imdb.com gives her year of birth as 1970. However, her biography at Allmusic.com gives her year of birth as 1972.
I can provide a bibliography of web pages, magazine articles, and newspaper articles that give her age or birthdate.

message: Some of the information about Vitamin C is incorrect.  There is another Colleen Fitzpatrick who is almost always confused with this Colleen Fitzpatrick.  I know this because the other Colleen Fitzpatrick (the non Vitamin C one) is my mother's half sister.  This information must be corrected.  On the disambiguation page there should be a link to Vitamin C and a link to Colleen Fitzpatrick to stop th confusion. Colleen Fitzpatrick is an actress who has performed in several stage productions, including some on Broadway.  These include Into the Woods, Cats, Lestat, and Company, among others.  I am looking into getting more specifics from my mom about Colleen, and though I am no where near proficient in editing Wikipedia, I'll do my best.
:Yes I realize that the actress you refer to with the same birth name exists and yes I agree that it has caused much confusion with the singer Vitamin C. However I have done my best to correct all information in this article to avoid any confusion between the two. I encourage you to create an article on the other Colleen and add it to the disambiguation page. Caden cool 21:05, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

message: The two cited sources say she was born in 1972. Other sources (IMDB, Discogs, Starpulse) say she was born in 1969. All agree she graduated from high school in 1987, so if she was born in 1972 she graduated at age 15! If she was born in 1969 she graduated at age 18, which sounds more likely. 60.242.1.97 (talk) 08:30, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

message: As can be seen from this talk page, editors have historically made attempts to alter the birthdate given on this page. There's some evidence that Fitzpatrick has claimed to be a few years younger than she is, and that she may have given multiple "official" birthdates in the past. (Giving false birth dates was once commonplace for celebrities, but is now unusual; Ric Ocasek is another recent celebrity who did so, regularly claiming to be 5 years younger than he was, creating confusion in obituaries when he died.) Attempts to change the date given in this article have foundered given the confusion of sources, and a lack of reliable sources covering said confusion.
-The article currently gives a birthdate of July 20, 1972. It cites, alongside a book by Joel Whitburn, AllMusic for this date; AllMusic may indeed have given that birthdate at the time it was cited (February 2016), but by October 2016, at the latest, the date given on AllMusic had been changed to July 27, 1972 (unless it actually gave that date all along). AllMusic continues to give the July 27, 1972 date today.
-AllMovie currently gives July 20, 1972.
-IMDb currently gives July 20, 1972, but it has given different dates in the past, including June 27, 1970, and July 20, 1969. (Being user-generated, IMDb isn't an RS- but I'm noting its changes here as it illustrates some of the historical confusion over Fitzpatrick's birthdate.)
-The Library of Congress Copyright Catalog gives Fitzpatrick a birth year of 1969.
-Sources (including this article) agree that Fitzpatrick graduated high school in 1987, which implies the 1969 birth year is correct, though it's not impossible that she skipped grade(s).
WP:DOB says "If multiple independent reliable sources state differing years or dates of birth in conflict, the consensus is to include all birth dates/years for which a reliable source exists, clearly noting discrepancies." We have current RSes (AllMusic and AllMovie) that give, at least, July 20, 1972 and July 27, 1972; if the LoC catalog counts (it may count as a primary source?), then we have a source for 1969 as well. Given that Fitzpatrick has retired from her public-facing music and film careers, RS coverage that could clear up this confusion is not likely in the near future. If anyone else can dig up other good RSes with birthdates, that'd be great; as it stands, I reckon that we should probably note at least the alternate 1972 dates, and maybe note the confusion over the dates, and maybe the 1969 date as well?

replies: text: Those sources are good finds, and it's good the article has settled on the correct date now. I agree on the credibility issues with the RhythmOne sites- will post on WT:RS/PS shortly. Yspaddadenpenkawr (talk) 03:41, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
