Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: August 15, 1885 (Internet Broadway Database; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Discogs; Find a Grave; Integrated Authority File; filmportal.de) or August 15, 1887 (IMDb) or in 1887 (Library of the World's Best Literature; Trove; LIBRIS; Great Norwegian Encyclopedia; CONOR.SI; MAK; Autoritats UB).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
