 Hi Alison, Frank asked me to take this up with you.  He's using the abbreviation "fl" on G's page to denote birth/death years and cites the appropriate page in the manual of style in his edit summary.  The problem is, the MoS does not support this application.  When birth and death years are known, then it's "b." and "d." (G's own preference).  I figure Frank is lost in grief at the moment, so I'm not wanting to be pushy about it.  Suggestions?
