Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: August 5, 1906 (Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; La France savante; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Integrated Authority File; nobelprize.org; BnF authorities) or August 5, 1905 (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.
