I think we shouldn't have the birth year in the introduction section of the character pages. For example, Tambry's page begins with:

"Tambry  (born mid-1990s) is one of  Wendy Corduroy's  friends and a cell phone addict...."

This interrupts the flow of the sentence, is completely unnecessary (there's not even a definite year), and is based purely on assumption (namely, the assumption that the series takes place in 2012*).

I can see including a birth year for characters whose age we know for sure (such as Mabel), but not in the introduction. The age is already stated in the introduction, so including a birth year that was never even mentioned is redundant. It would make a lot more sense for the flow of the article to include it in the infobox, or, if we can't do that, in the "History" section. ("Mabel was born in 1999, 5 minutes before her twin brother...")

Please vote and discuss.

*Please note that I don't want a debate about the year the series takes place here. Yes, there is some evidence for the series taking place in 2012, but while I accept it as a possibility, I'm not gonna say for sure that it does. Even if we do know for sure, I still don't want the birth year in the introduction for reasons stated above. But this thread is for discussing the birth year in the introduction of a page. If you must debate about the year the series takes place in, make your own thread.
