New member, so sorry if this is in the wrong form.

I have noticed that some players have inconsistencies in their place of birth.

For example, wikipedia, mlb.com, and pro baseball reference have Erik Swanson's place of birth as Fargo, ND.  But every baseball card picture that is avaliable has his place of birth as Terrace Park, Ohio.

Another example is Seth Rosin, where wikipedia, mlb.com, and pro baseball reference have his place of birth as Fargo, ND and his trading cards have it as Shoreview, MN

Does this site have a protocol for such situations?

This came up for me becasue I have a goal of collecting all of the North Dakota players trading cards.

I've found other sites and Cincinnati newspaper article that state Swanson's place of birth as Terrace Park OH.  Baseball Almanac
He has a Twitter account, ask him.

Rosin, you're confusing Hometown and Residence with Place of Birth. Double check what the cards state.  His profile page has Fargo ND listed.

It often takes years before a player's proper place of birth gets recognized and the various reference sites are updated in turn. For baseball, Baseball-Reference is normally the most reliable, as it picks up the corrections dug up by the Society for American Baseball Research's biographical research committee. However, cards cannot be corrected retroactively, and errors are most common in a player's first few seasons. 

Dave Parker is a good example. He was born in Grenada, Mississippi but his older cards list Calhoun, which is not a town but a county. Later ones mention Jackson, Mississippi (with his 1990 Topps card having a UER notice for Calhoun). Other older sources like my 1979 copy of the Baseball Encyclopedia list Cincinnati, which is where he grew up. So it can be a mess.

Thanks for the info.  I might have to try twitter with Rosen.  The one card I have of him does list Shoreview, MN https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/77996/cid/5824407/2013-Topps-Pro-Debut-203-Seth-Rosin

and a few others have St. Paul. https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/56829/cid/2921931/2010-Bowman-Draft-Picks-&-Prospects----Prospects-BDPP55-Seth-Rosin

This is the exact situation I was wondering how tcdb.com deals with.  If there are certain sources that are considered the gold standard.

Birthplace in general seems to be a unusual and inaccurate piece of data.  For example, my birthplace is an hour away from the town I lived because that was the nearest hospital.  And Travis Hafner's birthplace is listed as Jamestown, ND even though everyone in the state knows he is from Skyeston, ND. 

This has come up before.  Birthplace is what was recorded on the birth certificate.  Usually, the location of the hospital.  Seems like many league/reference sites have the town of residence instead of what may be listed on their birth certificates.

You're adding to your own confusion.  "And Travis Hafner's birthplace is listed as Jamestown, ND even though everyone in the state knows he is from Skyeston, ND."   "from" is not birthplace and since Skyeston has no hospital he probably wasn't born there.  He probably was born in Jamestown.
