Violet's Birthdate
I'm Miss Keene's great-grandson, and I have her death certificate. It says she was born on 8 August 1893, and died on 10 May 1987. LucilleBall (talk) 07:02, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- We appreciate the offer, but such a claim isn't enough to include that information here. The policy on primary sources says
Primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them.
If you know of any published source that has her English date of birth, I'd be happy to check it out and include it if we can. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 23:15, 13 September 2023 (UTC)- I have her 1893 birth certificate.
