This article has for a long time stated 18 August as the DOB though the source used for this states 8 August as does ANB. Can anyone confirm with any other sources? This has come up on WP:ERRORS for the WP:OTD section. Any input from anybody with experience in the field would be most welcome. Woody (talk) 21:56, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
