Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: January 30, 1755 (Q22687917; MacTutor History of Mathematics archive; www.accademiadellescienze.it; Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography) or January 29, 1755 (Pedagogues and Psychologists of the World).
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.
