1964
1964 might be a year of birth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.27.206 (talk) 12:11, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * "Might be" isn't good enough. We need a published reliable source before we can include it in the article. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:15, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * She was born on 5/1/1965 in Colorado, in America. She was born in Fort Collins. See a Google search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.27.206 (talk) 09:53, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oddly, Google seems to be quoting Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.27.206 (talk) 10:02, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Her CV says she was given a Freshman First Honour Prize in Princeton University in 1984. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.27.206 (talk) 10:11, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * None of those are good enough. "Google quoting Wikipedia" usually really means quoting Wikidata, and Wikidata is usually badly sourced and often wrong. And people can enter college at all sorts of different ages. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:05, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Sending an email to Lisa Jeffrey is one way to get at the truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a00:23c0:fc81:5a01:fd56:9b28:5f04:ff30 (talk • contribs)
 * That would still not provide a published reliable source for her birthdate. We cannot use responses to emails as sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:50, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I happen to know that the 5/1/1965 date given above (January 5, not May 1!) is correct. That's the date that she entered on a document relating to a contest in which she participated in high school...but then, that's not good enough either, is it? I'll admit that the same document lists my address twice — once for me and once for somebody I didn't even know; so there you go.............Kelisi (talk) 06:21, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
