Talk:Matthijs Quast

DOB
Hate to blank content (hence the heads up and repasting over here) but just removed the unsourced
 * He died at the age of 75.

since (a) it's unsourced. (b) In context, it was unclear if it was trying to talk about Quast or Tasman. (Fwiw, Tasman did not die at 75 but it's unclear whether the sentence is simply wrong given—y'know—that it's unsourced.) (c) If the article is sure Quast died on exactly 6 Oct. 1641 and is sure Quast died at the age of 75, then it should have already figured out a DOB for the lead sentence. (d) Neither Wikidata nor other language Wikis provide any sourced detail on either point. In fact, they pointedly give ? as the guy's DOB. (d) Up until my edits, this page seems to have just been a translation of the Dutch with this bit tacked on, making it—if unsourced—less reliable. — Llywelyn II   07:17, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
