Not done: That is a remarkably weak source. He just says he's 21. He doesn't say it's his birthday. Toddst1 (talk) 18:53, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Quant’s birthday[edit]

Right: this page lists Mary Quant’s year of birth as 1934.

As does the Britannica page.

However, the Britannica entry has a question mark by the year: which tells me they’re not sure about the date: either the year, or the whole date.

The Wikipedia entry on Mary tells us her birth year was 1930: and cites two external references.

Can we get the date checked and tidied up, please?

Mary Quant's year of birth was 1930, not 1934 2.99.58.8 (talk) 20:34, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done As mentioned in the footnote that I added (which was copied over from the Mary Quant article and I presume has WP:EDITCON), it seems that most newer sources accept her year of birth as 1930. Liu1126 (talk) 21:29, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
