Birth date/year

edit

The article currently states she was born around 1956 (which would add up with the sourced statement that she created the national flag at age 15 in 1971), but I just found a source that says she was born on 7 May 1953. Is there definitive confirmation on one of these? HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 15:36, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

HapHaxion, I don't have a definite answer. When I did the age I used the flag design aged 15 and subtracted it - because that was in lots of sources (doesn't mean its right though). I looked for other confirmation of the 1953 date of birth, but couldn't find one. Happy to find a route for it to be changed Lajmmoore (talk) 15:53, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
The only reason I can think of for the discrepancy is that the person typing the article may have used a numpad to enter the year and meant to type 1956 but put 1953 by accident (since 3 is right below 6). HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 16:03, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
