Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: March 1, 1611 (SNAC; MacTutor History of Mathematics archive; Integrated Authority File; Find a Grave; The Galileo Project; Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography) or March 10, 1611 (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.
