Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: in 1797 (Q24464663; Integrated Authority File) or October 26, 1796 (Osann, Gottfried Wilhelm).

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.
