Maria Wilhelmj
Hi Anvilaquarius, Thanks for your interest in Maria Wilhelmj. The majority of sources when I wrote the article gave her birth year as 1856, which is why I published that year, although I did see one source that used 1851. I have changed the article to reflect the conflicting sources re her birthdate. It's nice to know that someone is interested! T. E. Meeks (talk) 11:38, 22 April 2021 (UTC)


 * The musicologists at Mainz University who write that "Musik am Mittelrhein" biographical dictionary are surely closer to the sources. If the editor himself wrote this article and wrote explicitely "1851 (not 1856!)", this must mean he saw some sort of official document and is aware of the other date in other books. From my experience, all biographical dictionnaries are prone with mistakes, and especially so those concerning women of the stage, even about people well alive (due to the few actual third-party sources, and often enough vanity and/or fear of ageism) --Anvilaquarius (talk) 16:15, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
