Date of birth

[edit]

Ruth Schweikert's birth date seems to be reported as either 1964 or 1965 depending on which source you take:

Sources supporting 1964:

Sources supporting 1965:

Source supporting both:

I'm not sure what to make of this, but that's the situation. The item currently has both dates.

@KurtR: Let's sort this out properly rather than editing back and forth. :-)

The death notice of her family has 1964[1]. This is a very strong source. Then her homepage has 1964 too: [2]. These a two very strong sources. So I am sure 1964 is the right year. KurtR (talk) 01:56, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The obituary page does say 'Erstellt von Redaktion NZZ' (i.e. created by NZZ editors) but I suppose that's only for the page itself; the actual obituary, i.e. the picture shown below, would be by her family as you say. So yeah, I agree that's most likely correct. –JustAnotherArchivist (talk) 02:03, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JustAnotherArchivist: In the pictured obituary you see the date of birth. This is also how the obituary appeared in the print newspaper, I saw it there first. Well we were able to solve the problem. Greetings KurtR (talk) 02:17, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
