What’s the story?

The heart of the matter:
In what appears to be a critical typographic error on part of Wikipedia, Jarrett’s birthday that was listed as today, resulted in several of The King of the Mountain’s fans sending him birthday wishes.
The former 6-time WWE (then-WWF) Intercontinental champion clarified his date of birth in his latest tweet:
What’s next?
Jarrett is presently contracted to Impact Wrestling, a company that he pioneered in the role of an Executive Producer. The former WCW stalwart will also be seen in an on-screen capacity in the Impact Zone, besides being in charge of the company’s day-to-day operations.
Author’s take
Well, as someone who has been made to stand out of class due to mistakes in my notes, I, for one, cannot possibly bring myself to blame Wikipedia. Now, I know that it’s expected to be one of the most reliable sources for legitimate information and yada, yada, yada…but the folks over at the website are, after all, human.
Nevertheless, Double J is here to save the day and Delete the confusion! Wait, we’re not allowed to utter the words of ‘Deletion’, right TNA?
Shout out to Double J and the Broken Hardys!
