Talk:Al Schwimmer

Age

I'm sure someone has noticed this or it's just a typo but the page contradicts itself: (11 June 1917 - 10 June 2011) Then goes on to say he died on his 94th birthday, when he died the day before. Which date are we using? Should the latter sentence be removed completely, or the dates altered? Thanks CBJVS (talk) 11:28, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

The Israel Wiki article gives his date of birth and death as 10 June and there are several external links giving his date of birth as 10 June. Furthermore, all the cited Hebrew language media reports on the Hebrew Wikisite, although dated 11 June, refer to his date of death as Friday 10 June. Although the English language cited media reports in the English Wiki article refer to a date of death as Saturday, 11 June, I believe that the Hebrew language reports are more likely to be correct and that the error crept in when the English press picked up the reports from the Hebrew press. I am therefore amending the date of birth to 10 June, which supports the claim that he died on his 94th birthday. Davshul (talk) 12:57, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that, the article makes more sense now. CBJVS (talk) 05:21, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
