The article says he was born in 1872, but his info box says he was born in 1887. Which one is correct? Noneforall (talk) 18:30, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
72 seems a lot more likely - if 1887, his early career dates would imply he was a child prodigy of a quite impressive kind. Shimgray | talk | 18:51, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's right, 1872 according to the source. 1887 belongs to the person I "borrowed" the template from - the dangers of cut-and-paste! SpinningSpark 19:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
