Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: August 16, 1892 (BnF authorities; BD Gest'; Find a Grave; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; RKDartists) or August 18, 1892 (IMDb).
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.
