Welcome to Wikipedia and good work

Hi, I'm Oiyarbepsy and I can see fairies.

Welcome and thank you for joining and editing Wikipedia.

This is not an automated bot that placed this message. Yes, it is boilerplate, but it won't appear anywhere if I don't put it there. You are reading this because I've looked at your contributions and it's obvious that we'd like to keep you around.

If you have any questions, please click this link, then hit the new section and rock and roll. I really like to pretend to know what I'm doing here, so I'm sure I'll give you the right answer, and if I don't, you can whack me with a trout.

Thanks, Oiyarbepsy (talk) 02:31, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

85 or 86

Hello, a number of editors have changed '86-year old' to '85-year old', in describing the murdered priest in Normandy. Just to let you know that Gdn, Figaro, and BBC all say 86, only NYT, I think, says 85. We would need to find updated sources if these three are incorrect. Pincrete (talk) 10:20, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

• Apologies. I was going by the birth date 30 Nov 1930 which, if correct, would make him 85 yrs old at time of death. Sillyfranzshouldnthavegonetosarajevo (talk) 12:08, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Actually you're right (if DoB is correct), unfortunately we have to go with sources. Hope they correct soon. Some countries count age differently, on the first day of your life you are 1 yr old (ie in your first year), I don't know if that is true of France, but I would have expected Gdn and BBC to understand such matters.

BTW, you were correct, Gdn has now corrected and article and refs are updated. By chance, the 'critically injured parishioner', WAS 86, possibly the root of the initial error. Pincrete (talk) 13:14, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
