A fact from Lucienne Bréval appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 December 2008, and was viewed approximately 923 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in spite of her great reputation in Europe, operaticsopranoLucienne Bréval had limited success in America as critics thought her singing lacked polish?
I noticed that A Concise Biographical Dictionary of Singers actually says that her birth date was December 5. I checked MGG and they say November 4 (as well as Grove), so I guess we'll go with that unless there are sources supporting the December 5 date.

Im not sure why there is a discrepancy. I agree with your suggestion to stick with what is in Grove.Nrswanson (talk) 17:05, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On a second note, there is also a difference in the Covent Garden performances with one source saying she premiered in 1899 and the other in 1904.Nrswanson (talk) 17:12, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
