Place of birth

So far we have cited his birth place as Los Angeles, California in this article and in Wikidata. 47.154.81.46 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) has said in an edit summary that North was born in San Pedro, California. When I questioned this, the Times sent me a copy of his birth announcement (in San Pedro Hospital). San Pedro Hospital is in San Pedro, City of Los Angeles, California, so our current claim is surely correct, if imprecise. Perhaps Wikipedia doesn't need to get so precise, but I wanted to note the information here since it seems likely that sources exist if a diligent researcher wanted to find them.

Impartial Citation?

The article of Citation number 21, "Ron Paul's Home Schooling Curriculum Will Turn Your Kid into a Little Ron Paul." does not appear to be impartial or encyclopedic, rather it seems like more of an opinion piece. Seeing as the video by North that the article contains is no longer available as of 30 July 2024 I do not know if this citation is worth keeping aside from the "direct quotes" in the article.

Any thoughts from wiser Wikipedians? I'm new so am not sure what should or shouldn't be done. VeryBoredWombat (talk) 22:53, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
