Talk:Alan Thomson (sportsman, born 1899)

Same lifespan as Alan Thomson (footballer)
This came up on Wikidata. Are they about the same person or is one of the dates incorrect? Jura1 (talk) 13:08, 18 January 2016 (UTC)


 * The source for each article backs up the DOBs and DODs - looks like the same person to me. Terlob (talk) 21:43, 18 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Fixed. Thanks to for the initial spot.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 08:07, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. It was found with d:Wikidata:Database reports/identical birth and death dates/1. As a batch of dates got added to Wikidata, we had a lot of sportspeople these days: some who changed clubs, others who changed sports, rarely some who pursued completely different careers. The bulk is people with articles in different wikis that had no interwikis before. Jura1 (talk) 12:12, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
