Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: February 26, 1882 (SNAC; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Integrated Authority File; BD Gest'; birth certificate; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; BnF authorities; NooSFere; filmportal.de; Léonore database) or in 1883 (ccbibliotecas.azores.gov.pt; CONOR.SR; Invaluable; Czech National Authority Database) or February 26, 1883 (Benezit Dictionary of Artists).

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.
