       I recently lost a very close friend. Every AI gives the wrong birth date. These are Wikipedia-sourced. Every date in searches was wrong. Because that date is wrong every date found is wrong.

       I edited the wikipedia entry. Lets' see what happens. Will the correct date propagate, or will an editor change it back? I've known the man 55 years. I checked with his daughter in case my memory was wrong. She confirmed.

       "If a correction has truly been made recently (e.g., within an official family or company announcement), it has not yet been reflected in the vast, mainstream media obituaries and biographical databases that all cite an age of 75 at the time of his death.""I can only report the information that is publicly and consistently available across multiple, major media sources."But the "multiple sources" pull from the erroneous wikipedia data. Seen what happens?
