Moved birth from article:

• (Year unknown) - Walter Mercado, actor, astrologer

It's highly unlikely that the day is correct if the year is unknown. I haven't been able to find out his birthdate. Lupo 09:11, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

• In his article it is written Walter Mercado was born in 1932. Igor Skoglund.

Gregory of Nyssa

The linked article has no indication of March 9 for Greg of Nyssa. What is the source for it? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 14:43, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

You would have to comb through the page history to find out who added it in the first place and ask her/him. I recommend to be be bold and remove it. Lectonar (talk) 14:48, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Tom Roberts was not born on the 9th

The listing for Tom Roberts here is in error , per his article, which says he was born on March 8 not 9 They can't both be correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:CA10:18A0:35C8:AC07:3871:7FE0 (talk) 05:15, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Chaim Topol

I’ve just double checked the entry for Chaim Topol: it says he died on the 8th March.

Is it possible to get this corrected?

I’m assuming the mistake is because the reports hit places on the 9th March.
