Talk:Maeve Binchy

message: March or May?
I always thought she was born on 28 MARCH 1940. There are several online bios that confirm this but also several that give the May date. Which is correct?
I don't know. The Britannica site has May, while BBC.CO.UK has March. There also seems to be confusion over whether she was born in Dublin or Dalkey. DoctorMud 00:14, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Bio currently reads, "She was a journalist at The Irish Times before becoming a full-time writer." But, um, isn't a journalist at the Irish Times generally considered to be a full-time writer?--68.199.33.181 18:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: On her books and her website, her husband is listed as Gordon Snell. Is "Tobias Austin Bird" a pseudonym?

replies: text: It appears to be vandalism by  in mid-July. All the non-wiki sources I can find still list Snell as the husband, but there are now various wikipedia mirrors that repeat the Bird misinformation. I've reverted to the version from May, before ciarangc edited, since there were still some other lingering changes to the article that appear to be his and I don't know which of the changes since then to trust. Someone more familiar with this material than I should check the diffs and see whether any of the changes since May are worth adding back again. See also Tobias Austin Bird, proposed for deletion as unverifiable and a likely hoax. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:47, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

message: One of those sending her condolences, she's described here as 'Minister for Special People'. I'm not very familiar with Irish politics, but is this correct? Her actual title seems to be Minister of State for Disability, Equality and Mental Health. Robofish (talk) 13:00, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
