Birthdate

edit

22 May or 28 July? The 5th edition of Grove has both Giuditta and Giulia born on 28 July, in 1805 and 1811 respectively. The Catalan, German, French and Russian WP articles all have Giulia born on 28 July 1811, although the Spanish, Italian and Slovenian have 22 May as the English does. There are plenty of online places where both sisters are shown with the birthday 28 July, but nowhere that I've found is any mention made of this coincidence. So, I'm guessing it's an easily understandable misprint that's been widely copied and still lives. Can anyone comment meaningfully on any of this? -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 12:29, 22 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

The Grove Online articles on the sisters, both by Elizabeth Forbes, now show 22 May 1811 for Giulia, and 28 July 1805 for Giuditta. Based on that, I've reverted today's edit to 22 May, despite what can be found at Wikidata d:Q287344 and the sources given there. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:32, 23 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for that, Michael. All good things come to those who wait.  :) -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 08:20, 24 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Maybe not. See the revert by User:Renamed user r9L1Y46y7Z and my invitation to that user to discuss the matter here. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 09:41, 24 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
