Hello, I reviewed the article, and I noticed out of date references and some inaccurate content.
First, The US Steel website reference is out of date. Here is the current link to his biography: [1]
Second, the US Steel biography supports David's birthplace, but the biography states his birthplace is St. Louis, Missouri. Can we remove "in Morton, Illinois" from the first sentence and "Morton, Illinois, US" in the Infobox and replace it with St. Louis, Missouri, US?--Chefmikesf (talk) 23:46, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
GregorB The old link seems to be a dead link. The current link to his US Steel biography is the best source I can find for his birthplace. For the year of birth, I found an SEC document from August 2013 stating he is 58 years old. Based on document, the current YOB is correct.[2] In the reference, please see Item 5.02, (c).
Do you mind if I used {{Birth based on age as of date}} in the infobox? This looks like the use case for it. Since YOB based on age as of date is approximate, I'd keep it in the infobox but omit it from the text for the time being, if you agree. GregorB (talk) 21:42, 2 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
