Birth year?
Should the birth year be 1909 rather than 1898? 1909 was actually the birth year given in earlier versions of the page, but in a 2010 edit by 1898 was introduced (plausibly a typo) and eventually made consistent across the article. At least one written source has 1909 as the birth year, and it would make more sense of her leaving school in 1925. I can't access the Google books url for the reference presently given to 1898.

 * The Women in Medicine source was present in the original article version giving the year 1909. I don't remember whether I was previously able to check the source when I changed the date. (The page is now unavailable to me in Google Books; if it also had been then, I should have changed the citation, but that might have been an oversight on my part.) I can assure you, though, that I would not have introduced a typo and changed a previously correct value to match the typo without double-checking. Thai sources (including, in addition to those cited in the article, this recent Thai PBS documentary and the shrine commemorating her memory at the school operated by her foundation) consistently give her birth year as BE 2441; subtract 543 and you get 1898, so it's definitely not a typo, though I won't say for sure it's accurate, since they seem to originate from the same source. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:39, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
