Talk:Allen E. Ertel

Year of birth
According to the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, Ertel was born in 1937. Although the pennlive.com article states that he was 79, I would use the Congressional directory as a more reliable source than a newspaper article announcing his death.

 * So should his age on Deaths in 2015 be changed from 79 to 78? --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 02:09, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Probably 78; I just performed another google search with many articles noting the 1937 birth year and 79 as his age (yes, that is an inconsistency). I'm trying to locate a "local" obituary and not something which is copy & pasted from national news; it is not yet in the local newspaper of Williamsport, PA. Maybe Saturday they'll post his obituary. So for tonight, I'm going to sit tight not changing anything more. Bottom line, thanks for calling it to my attention; if I've acted in haste tonight, please accept my apology. Bob305 (talk) 02:28, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It's fine you were doing your duties. I hate when there's misconception on a subject's age. It gets irritating. Take care. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 02:30, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
