Hello, I'm Victor Trevor. An edit you recently made to Friedrich Melchior, Baron von Grimm seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * Hi Trevor, no, this was'nt a test. Instead, I tried to make a modification as the real birth date of Grimm is 26 September 1723. You find it also in Ulla Kölving, « Introduction générale », in idem (ed.), Friedrich Melchior Grimm. Correspondance littéraire. Tome 1. 1753-1754, Ferney-Voltaire, Centre International d’Étude
 * du xviiie siècle, 2006, pp. XXI-LXXII, here p. XXI. As I researched recently in the baptism registres, 26 september is also the baptism date. Here is the reference: Landeskirchliches Archiv der Evang.-Luth. Kirche, Dekanat Regensburg, Regensburg-Gesamtgemeinde, Taufen 1713-1732. The birth date "26 December" which is also documented in the French WP and unfortunately also in Wikidata is definitely wrong and outdated; the German WP has for a long time "25 September", referring to "Neue Deutsche Biographie" from the 1960s, meanwhile English and French WPs seem to refer to "Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie" dating from the 19th century. I therefore would be grateful if you validate my modification and/or check the evidence I mentioned. And of course I made modifications to the German and the French WP, too, and hope they also will be accepted. Best, Markus Markus Meumann (talk) 15:00, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
