Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: October 20, 1904 (books.google.fr; MacTutor History of Mathematics archive; www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk; link.springer.com) or October 22, 1904 (Integrated Authority File).
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.
