Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: September 4, 1530 (encyclopedic article about Ivan IV Vasilyevich; Military Encyclopedia. Volume 11, 1913; Visuotinė lietuvių enciklopedija Online; Chuvash encyclopedia) or August 25, 1530 (No external source identified).
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.
