[edit] Howard Zinn's birth

moved from your talk page KnowledgeOfSelf | talk. 05:11, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, would you explain the basis of changing the date of Howard Zinn's birth? Thanks. skywriter 05:09, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

First of all: the other language wikis de:Howard Zinn, sv:Howard Zinn and nl:Howard Zinn and also the en.wikiquote.org have the december 7 date. Then after googling around I also found the following 3 sites with this date.

One site has the august 24 date:

So I think it's the december date. At least we should not have different dates in the language wikis. --Waelder 18:32, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, please see discussion on Howard Zinn page on indisputable fact that his birtdate is not December 7 and why this is a frequently made error, in Zinn's own humorous words. I am copying this discussion to the Howard Zinn discussion page because this error keeps cropping up, and this discussion should appear there. Thanks for your reply. skywriter 20:14, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. --Waelder 18:37, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

What I was specifically referring to was the Howard Zinn birthdate (which is posted above). Excuse me for my lateness, but I added {{verror}} to your page, which produced that message. Your adding of the incorrect date was an error, and thus, I posted that template. It appears you are alright now, but I was just going through the page and warning others as to the correct date. Thank you, and happy editing. -Mysekurity(have you seen this?) 21:47, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
