Birth year
IMDB lists her birth location as Louisiana but not her year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.187.77.211 (talk) 20:45, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

She was not born in 1978
On September 29, 2013‎, the year 1978 was added as Sarah Dyer's year of birth. The edit summary states "source: VIAF". The VIAF entry seen |_Girl_with_the_bird's-nest_hair_|_Japanese_|_(石井睦美._:_2009) here is for a DIFFERENT Sarah Dyer. The Sarah Dyer born in 1978 is a BRITISH author of children's books.

She is not the same person as the American comics artist.

As for the American Sarah Dyer, what if she *was* born in 1978? The Wikipedia article for the American Sarah Dyer states she "went to college in Gainesville, Florida" and "While in Gainesville in 1988". If the American Sarah Dyer was born in 1978, that means she was in college at the age of 10? Really? Really?

The Wikipedia article further states "In 1992, Dyer created and began distributing the Action Girl Newsletter" Again, IF she was born in 1978, that would mean she was 14 years old when she launched Action Girl Newsletter.

The earliest credit listed for Sarah Dyer by the Grand Comics Database (http://www.comics.org/credit/name/Sarah%20Dyer/sort/chrono/) is for coloring the cover of Pirate Corp$ #5 (cover dated December 1992). She was a professional colorist at the age of 14?

Confusing two people with the same name is a common occurrence on the Internet. Always good to check things out. Mtminchi08 (talk) 06:20, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Remove the wrong birth year
Sorry to post the wrong birth year. I have just removed the wrong birth year because no reliable resources tell us the accurate birth year, and I may confuse 2 people both named Sarah Dyer together.Jingwennn (talk) 20:21, 5 December 2017 (UTC)Jingwennn
