Talk:Pál Turán

Correct birth date: August 28 or 18?
This article has always (since 29 September 2004) shown his birth date as August 28, 1910. However several reliable sources give it as August 18 instead of 28, so I think 28 may be a typo. I have changed the date to August 18 and given sources.


 * Sources giving August 28: MacTutor history, English Wikipedia (that is, this article), many web sources that seem to copy English Wikipedia
 * Sources giving August 18: Alpár's Journal of Number Theory obituary, Turán article in Hungarian Wikipedia, Turán's entry in a Hungarian biographical dictionary Magyar Életrajzi Lexikon cited by Hungarian Wikipedia

 * Dictionary of Scientific Biography, Supplement p. 933 gives August 28. --Uncia (talk) 02:56, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Two more sources giving August 18: Sain Marton: Matematikatorteneti ABC (the ABC of mathematical history), Typotex, 1993. and Magyar Tudoslexikon (Hungarian Lexicon of Scientists), (Nagy Ferenc, ed.), 1993. Kope (talk) 14:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
