Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: December 8, 1894 (thurberhouse.org; Carnegie Hall Data Lab; Library of Congress Authorities) or December 18, 1894 (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.
