Birth date changes

I'm hoping someone can check changes to birth dates by 43.227.227.16. For example, diff at Gajraj Rao. In a quick look, I can't see where a source mentions some of the birth dates. If I could see evidence that the IP's edits are bad, I would revert the edits and issue a long block. Johnuniq (talk) 04:27, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
