Year of birth

[edit]

I have changed Teal's year of birth from the unsourced 1902 to 1908, which was sourced in a note, and removed the accompanying note. Eddie Blick (talk) 23:53, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Teblick: There's now conflicting information in the article. The lead and infobox has his age at death as 68, while the death section states he was 74 when he died, also sourced.-- Ponyobons mots 23:57, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing that out, Ponyo. I had not noticed that fact. I have reverted my edits. I apologize for my error. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:13, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
None of the sources are particularly stellar, so it's best to note the different dates provided (as it is now). Perhaps one day a definitive source will be found!-- Ponyobons mots 00:15, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just to close the loop on this, I did a Newspapers.com search and all of the sources I found state that he died at 74. Examples:
