A fact from Eleanor Winthrop Young appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 March 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Young is said 3 times in the text of the article to have been born in 1895. The first source seems to say she was born in 1897. I have not been able to find other sources on this matter so far. I brought the category into agreement with the 3 statements of the text, but someone may want to review listed sources and other possible sources to see if we can for sure determine when she was born, or if the sources disagree we may have to move her to Category:1890s births.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:36, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The other date was in the original text. We do not give precedence to the most recent edit. That would be remarkable stupid. 131.239.72.18 (talk) 20:46, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnpacklambert When you write "the first source *seems* to say" does that mean that you haven't checked it? Polycarpa aurata (talk) 03:00, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
