[edit] Birth

I added the month of death for Waring since the article over at Yahoo didn't specify a date. The article also said that Waring was 79 years old, which means he can't have been born in 1930. I'll remove the birthdate if no one can come up with the correct one. For now I just added a "citation needed". Davhorn 16:23, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Then how come his agent said he was 79 years old? Davhorn 00:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I have changed his date of birth to reflect the age given in all news sources. The only places that give his date of birth as 1930 are IMDb (a non-reliable source) and copycat websites of Wikipedia. --Berks105 11:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

But if imdb got the year wrong, how do we know they got the date right? Not trying to be difficult, just want it to be right. :) Davhorn 20:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes I thought that myself. I hoping that one of the newspapers will do an obituary (The Times and Telegraph would both state full birth date). --Berks105 20:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

The Daily Telegraph confirmes his date of birth as 26 April 1927. --Berks105 11:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
