Birth year
Welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed you added, then removed, the birthdate of a biograph subject, Virginia Tufte. As a rule, we use years of birth on WP:BLPs, but not the specific dates, out of privacy concerns (see BLP). Use of a birth year is generally desirable per WP:STYLE, but should have an independently verifiable sources for the fact. I don't see that information on the publishers' or University's bio pages on the author, but it might be available elsewhere. LotLE × talk 23:45, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
