[edit] Birthdate

Not that we necessarily need to publish it, but I was trying to figure it out for the Nashville Natives chart. So far I only know that he was born between April 5, 1979 and February 28, 1980. Kaldari 03:07, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Narrowed it down some more: April 20, 1979 - May 20, 1979 (apparently he's a Taurus). Updating birth year... Kaldari 03:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Updated birthday category too. 64.180.5.239 22:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

May 19, 1979 is Eric Stanley Volz birthdate.

[edit] POV

This article has serious POV problems. Sources are available but that doesn't mean putting "Volz is the victim of anti-gringo sentiment" is NPOV, it is an opinion of Cooper. Also, how is "Friends and supporters in both countries insist he is innocent" relevant to wikipedia? -  LaNicoya  •TALK• 13:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

It is not the opinion of Anderson Cooper, the Anderson Cooper program covered the controversy so it is extremely relevant. I am not sharing your view that the article has POV problems as the article itself makes no judgments on innocence or guilt, it is merely a collection of sources reflecting the controversy surrounding his prosecution. Volz is not notable simply for his prosecution but for the controversy surrounding it. Therefore the sources charging his innocence are relevant to wikipedia. As long as the article makes it clear that these are the opinions of critics and not those of wikipedia, NPOV should be satisfied. —Ocatecir ^Talk 13:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely. Since when did journalists opinions make for media stories, it was actually well sourced on the programme, SqueakBox 21:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
