Talk:Jeremy Crawford
Biography of a living person
[edit source]I don't know the day but i have month and year of birth.
Do we want to include his spouse Phillip Lienau (m. 2014)? PlagueBearer (talk)
- I mean, you kinda just did. LOL. Put his name right there, in a publicly visible page. Good thing Jeremy's publicly out about his marriage. LOL
- Since he's publicly discussed being gay, has received accolades from a Pride org, and speaks about his husband on social media, I'd say, "yes."
- I went ahead and added I added the actual citation from Wikipedia from where it looks like the information was sourced. The sourcebook names should really be italicized and such, though. I added some wikilinks to books that are on the Great Library, since they relate to GH. —Abra Saghast (talk) 19:20, 1 March 2026 (EST)
- Oops! I thought I had pulled it. Yes he did win awards from pride and other places and out, I just struggle some days with being old, dealing with ingrained stupidity, and daily reminders that there are a lot of idiots out there who still freak out over people being LGBTQ+
- Is just his birth month and year ok? PlagueBearer (talk)
- FYI, I'm not sure I was clear—you didn't put it on the article page, at all. You put the spouse's name here. LOL
- Anyway, yeah. People can be stupid sometimes, and there is likely that someone will eventually read it, and say (hopefully to themselves), "No wonder 5e is so bad and woke. It's made by a [f-slur]." or something just as ridiculous.
- It's just information, though, and people will take it how they take it. I mean, there were people back in the 00s and early 10s who literally refused to have a article on this wiki about Rose Estes, despite the fact that her novels are part of an official series. Most people haven't read the books, they have just talked to catty, bitchy grognards who complained about them largely because they were written by a woman, and not Gygax. <shrug> It is what it is. —Abra Saghast (talk) 10:42, 3 March 2026 (EST)
Not for nothing, but I just realized this falls under "Biography of a living person", so, since its a BLP, honestly, not having a full birthday is fine—preferred, in fact.
So, it's better than we don't have it, and its honestly likely that Crawford may have intentionally not ever put that information on the internet. And even if he said somewhere "It's my birthday today!" on social media or something, we might put a <!-- noted out statement --> for inclusion or something, just for future reference, if he ever passes... but it's not really the kind of information we'd want to have visible on the wiki, at the very least. Same with autographs/signatures, unless the person has pulic put their signature in something like Dragon magazine, which the editors sometimes did. —Abra Saghast (talk) 11:43, 3 March 2026 (EST)
