[edit] His divorce

I've reverted the edit that changed Probst's divorce from being from his wife of five years to from his wife five years ago. The original statement had been around for over a year, so I figure the former is the intended meaning. If I am the one misinterpreting something, we can discuss it here. --Maxamegalon2000 05:53, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] one-time?

What does the phrase "one-time" refer to in the opening paragraph? TheHYPO 00:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stub Nomination

This biography is fairly short and undetailed. I usually stay away from biographies so this may be the norm. However, this article feels like a stub and I would like to nominate it as such. Robotempire 08:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Universal Life Church ordination?

I don't see why this is even relevant or remarkable. Anyone can be ordained as a ULC minister at the click of a mouse button. I'm a ULC minister too (not that I've ever used it for anything. I'm an atheist anyway). Why mention it? 203.73.234.115 04:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I would say because he used it to remarry his parents. --Maxamegalon2000 05:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Born 1961 or 1962

There seems to be much conflicting information on the web regarding Jeff Probst's birthdate. It is apparently either 1961 or 1962, depending on where you look. This article started with a 1962 birth date. It was initially changed to 1961 by an anonymous user on April 1, 2005. It was changed back in October 2005 where it has mostly remained, except for several edits in Dec'06/Jan'07, and has again been changed several times since March of this year.

A Google search yields mixed results, with a slight favor torwards 1962. See search results for "Jeff Probst" plus "November 4, 1961" or "November 4, 1962" or just plan old "November 4".

Some sample sites showing 1961 include:

Others sample sites showing 1962 include:

Unfortunately, simply counting the references and choosing the most popular does not necessarily yield the correct answer. This is especially true since web sites (especially fan sites) tend to feed on each other's information. One more thing - the WaybackMachine shows that IMDB once showed 1962, but that was changed to 1961 sometime around January 2007.

Does anyone have what they consider to be a definitive source independent of the above web sites? -- Tcncv (talk) 02:34, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
