[edit] Birth

this page shows two different birth years for Alex. Which is correct? Maladroitmortal 02:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Continuing this, I can't find a year of birth for him in any of the sources. Because of this I've removed the references to the year until a reliable source can be found. If anybody can find one please feel free to add the year of birth back in along with the source. Thanks. --ImmortalGoddezz 00:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] O'Lachlan

I've previously removed the reference to Alex O'Lachlan (it stated that he was born as O'Lachlan and later changed his name to O'Loughlin) since I cannot find any reliable sources that say this. When searching for O'Lachlan a number of results do show up however it seems that this is possibly just a spelling error more than an actual name change, though I could be wrong. If anybody can find a reliable and verifiable source that back up the claims that he changed his name please add it back in. --ImmortalGoddezz 17:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Year of birth

As per ([1] [2]) Intelius searches, Alex O'Loughlin (aka Alexander R. O'Loughlin) is 34 years old, indicating 1973 as year of birth.

Using Intelius is/can be considered original research. --ImmortalGoddezz 16:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bon Scott

I've added the info about the rumor of O'Loughlin being Bon Scott's son back. My reasoning is that it was widely reported on, the information is sourced, and it doesn't detract from the article. Additional several online commentaries/blogs and other sources cite wikipedia as one of the originating sources for the rumor itself (Ex1, Ex 2), so I feel that it is better to leave this up than exclude it, personally. --ImmortalGoddezz 16:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
