Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: August 15, 1898 (Encyclopaedia Beliana; Proleksis Encyclopedia; ProDetLit; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; FilmPolski.pl; Polish Theater Encyclopedia) or in 1898 (The YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe (online edition); Library of Congress Authorities; poezja.org) or August 15, 1900 (BnF authorities; Integrated Authority File; IdRef; FantLab).
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.
