hi mav - i appreciate that you are weeding out and correcting things here, it's necessary work (i, too corrected some of these lately). however one should not assume that a date is wrong just because one doesn't get a google hit for it. a lot of knowledge is still offline...

but even with google you could have looked harder: it took about 20 seconds to get lots of hits which confirm the Léon Blum date, among them this site of the french government. (actually his title was fr:Président du Conseil, not prime minister, but this means essentially the same: head of government.) regards, High on a tree 14:46, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

OK - thanks for finding that one. I was looking for "Léon Blum" June 1936 and could only confirm the month from that outside of 'this day in history'-type pages. BTW, I list items I remove just in case somebody else has a good reference that proves the item is correct after all (lots of disinformation on the Internet, so I look at a whole bunch of different websites to see if there is a consensus - if not, then I list it here). --mav 17:23, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

John Drew Barrymore born twice?

This page lists John Drew Barrymore as being born both on June 4th, 1929 and on June 4th, 1932. Both names link to the Wikipedia page claiming that he was born in 1929. Perhaps the 1932 listing should be removed?

Just a thought.

I don't know. I think the birth date is unsourced, but I'm not sure. Floating Boat (the user formerly known as AndieM) 06:15, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
