In the Personal Life section, there is a better source needed to show that John Mayer dated Taylor Swift. Try https://www.insider.com/john-mayer-problematic-controversies-timeline-racism-sexism Generationfixer1d (talk) 18:33, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Not done: Business Insider is not a better source because there is no consensus as to its reliability (see WP:BI). voorts (talk/contributions) 01:51, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

We already reflect Mayer's correct birthdate and, even if you were to provide a reliable source for it, there is no need to report the name of the hospital where he was born. General Ization ^Talk 02:21, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
