Talk:William Bradford (printer, born 1663)

message: Wikipedia's entry on William Bradford cites his birthdate as May 20, 1663 and his death as May 23, 1752. That'd make him 89.
His gravestone notes his birth-year as 1660 and records that he "departed this Life May 23 1752 aged 92 Years".
(Comments moved from article)
Gravestone info noted. However, most sources give birth year as 1663. If 1660 is to be given as his birth year, the discrepancy with other major sources should be noted in the text. Thisdaytrivia (talk) 18:25, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: @Chipmunkdavis Yes, that is correct. I ran through earwig (see link above) and I am manually checking each edit. -  Wil540 art (talk) 16:06, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  Earwig is inadequate to detect DC issues; the last time I checked it, this article still had issues.  This is the DC foundational edit, before which the article should probably be reverted, yet it's not listed above.  More than a month has passed now since WP:DCGAR; when will the GAR be submitted ? If you need more time, please say so; otherwise, I will be happy to submit the GAR myself and do the review, but please do not think that relying on Earwig will work for DC content.
