Date of Birth[edit]

Leela Majumdar was born on Februray 26, 1908. The family celebrated her 100th birthday some time back. The confusion regarding her date of birth has been created as a result of her being referred to as a centenarian by some. I have checked the date of birth with different sources and provided one reference. Unfortunately, that is not a web page. Some of the newspaper articles have appeared only in the print editions. -- P.K.Niyogi 04:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Family[edit]

"two grandsons, two grand daughters and three grand children" Can someone fix this? Is that supposed to be great-grandchildren? There's no online link for the reference, so I didn't touch that section.J 12:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, what a slip. Fixed. Thanks for pointing out. -- P.K.Niyogi 02:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went back and just corrected the grammar. I think that section is probably good to go. I always decide to edit when I'm exhausted - I need to read articles when I'm more awake...J 07:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
