Contradicting birth dates[edit]

Can somebody look up a year of bith? there are 3 given in the article! Circeus 18:51, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually only 2 were listed (1871/72), with a 3rd (1874) given in an external link. I couldn't figure out which was right. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation didn't even know for sure (listing 1871 or 1872).[1] Database Olympics lists his birthdate as 1/1/1874, but we can't be sure about their sources either. --Fang Aili ^talk 18:55, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think birth date uncertainty merits a {{contradict}} tag; there are many notable people who don't have verified birth dates or years. --Fang Aili ^talk 19:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The category listing is for 1874. Circeus 19:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you're right. I removed it. --Fang Aili ^talk 19:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date is still a bit of a contradiction. The official IOC website lists it as 08 February 1872 and SR/Olympics concurs (however SR/Olympics is an unofficial website & they don't list sources of their info, so thier source might be the IOC site). However, other sources disagree. The wiki article currently follows the dates listed in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia (Russian original text, English translation). Since the Great Soviet Encyclopedia is a well known encyclopedia, it's a fairly trustworthy source for this type of information, though the IOC is an official website for the Olympics. Should both dates (and corresponding Old Style dates) be listed or do we have an 'official' tie breaker? Kirin13 (talk) 02:51, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

USSR in 1903[edit]

Err.. Is it me or is there something wrong with one of the statements in this article? It says that his student, Fyodor Datlin, was the first athlete to win a rating in the Unified Sports Classification System of the USSR, on December 31, 1903, while the USSR was formed in 1923, some 20 years afterwards. The USCS of the USSR was formed even later. //Halibu tt 19:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I got that from the listed source. Maybe they're referring to a pre-USSR version of the classification system (same rules, different name?). --Fang Aili ^talk 19:30, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps and perhaps not. Anyone able to confirm that? //Halibu tt 22:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
