Please provide a reliable source for this. Multiple newspapers say it is 12 July, and others that she'll be 13 years and 11 days at the start of the Olympics (which only works if date is 12 July). Joseph2302 (talk) 22:26, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Should this olympic athlete's date of birth be an actual concern or even be contested given that she is already registered at the Olympics' database [1] and therefore, we have finally found a reliable source?
Is there any actual reason we haven't included her date of birth from the Olympics database? Don't just point me in the direction of some discussion, explain as it's making Wikipedia look stupid, as normal.— Preceding unsigned comment added by an unspecified IP address
It strikes me as odd that, of all of the athletes participating in skateboarding at the 2020 Olympics, Brown is the only one for whom inclusion of DOB has even been raised as an issue. It is not standard practice on Wikipedia to omit birthdays of any Olympic athlete, minor or adult, as their birthdates are very widely published and encyclopedia worthy. Brown wasn’t even the youngest competitor in the women's park event final – just the youngest to represent an English-speaking nation – and the obsessive concern with her protection and privacy while showing no such regard to her younger, Japanese competitor is biased, whether intentional or not. This debate has surpassed its usefulness and a new discussion ought to be raised if no concessions will be made without one. – Spitzmauskc (talk) 02:08, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Seems an odd thing to omit her birth date when we include that on such a date (the day she won the skateboarding bronze medal) she was 13 years and 28 days. From which we can conclude her birth date was……..--Egghead06 (talk) 05:02, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I also don't see an issue with stating her birth date, but this may need a other BLP noticeboard discussion (if we want to overrule the previous discussion). As long as it's explicitly published in RS (which wasn't the case prior to the Games). Joseph2302 (talk) 06:25, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also whatever discussion went on, we are not following the ruling. The two younger 2020 Olympic participants mentioned in Sky Brown’s article, both have their birthdates given in their articles??--Egghead06 (talk) 06:33, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It strikes me odd why there's such a policy while there have been minors with their DOBs stated on Wikipedia for quite a long time and this single article is the first time I've seen someone bat an eye. I mean, if it's on the internet already on a reliable source what's the matter? Is it because Sky Brown has more of a "internet-star" profile than the other dozens of athletes who are achieving sucess on amateur sports such as figure skating (good luck erasing date of births of all teenaged figure skaters who have their own Wikipedia articles) and skateboarding itself (as Kokona Hiraki, women's park olympic silver medalist, has her DOB explicitly stated on her Wikipedia page and she isn't even 13 yet)? Either let the DOB be here already or we must to start a long and tedious job of editing hundreds of pages that don't follow this policy (which isn't even featured at Wikipedia:MINORS as stated above, the only rule is about paying attention to the sources, which has been done). I'd say the only matter regarding Brown's DOB in specific is that it was disputed, as, for some reason, prior to the games some newspapers were stating it as the 12th instead of the 7th. Regardless, it is been confirmed now to be the 7th by an actual reliable source so I really don't see what's the issue anymore.Gwennire (talk) 17:23, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, after reviewing the Noticeboard discussion, it appears that there is good justification for including the exact DOB. Not only is her DOB widely published in RS (including the BBC), but WP:CALC suggests this is permissible. "Basic arithmetic, such as adding numbers, converting units, or calculating a person's age is almost always permissible.Kerdooskis (talk) 14:58, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The reading of Kanji Characters is complex. 澄海 Can be read as Chokai, but that is unlikely for a proper name. It is obvious that that pair of kanji characters was chosen because her mother knew it could also be read as Sukai. 2001:8003:3460:A200:E85A:D997:B24D:9271 (talk) 06:12, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article states the followers on Instagram to be "over 602,000". They are however, over 1.3 million. [1]
The articles states the views on YouTube to be "over 29 million". The are however, over 57 million. [2]Neerav singla (talk) 05:02, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"She was the youngest professional skateboarder in the world" is in the header.
When was that? And how is someone professional? I am asking this, because at 2020 Olympics where she was third, Kokona Hiraki was second. And Hiraki is over a month younger than Brown. Did Brown become professional earlier than Hiraki, or Hiraki was/is not professional? And, there is no source for the claim. 109.240.34.126 (talk) 19:17, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
