Birthplace
Hi there, I noticed that it said Lorne Michaels was born in Israel on a Kibbitz. This is in fact incorrect. He was born in Toronto. I have changed in the "Early Life" and Bio box sections of the article and cited the New York Times as a source. --RivBitz (talk) 23:34, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm; some sources say he was born in Toronto, while others NY Daily News Vanity Fair say he was born in Israel and then moved with his family to Toronto at a very young age. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 02:26, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- Reviewing the article history, it was changed with this edit citing the Vanity Fair article. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 02:39, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- Changed again and back: the Vanity Fair article is satire. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 02:19, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
- It's not "satire", it's humorous. The basic facts of Michaels' life stated in the article are correct. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 03:43, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

A number of sources say Lorne Michaels was born on a kibbutz in Israel (Vanity Fair (2016), The Guardian (2014), Biography.com (2016), NY Daily News (2013)). The article currently says he was born in Toronto citing this NYT article (2008), which only gives a passing mention of his birthplace and also gives a different year for his DOB than the majority of other sources, so it doesn't seem like the best source for his birth information. I'm going to change it back to Israel. —PermStrump(talk) 00:41, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
