Vital years in lead

@Sweetpool50: Regarding your revert of my edit. It may be "superfluous", but it also the standard way of providing this information on English Wikipedia; not to mention it is also the standard way this is handled in biography in general (see e.g. the ODNB and other major biographical works).

I suggest you do some real editing, then, and incorporate the dates without their careless repetition in the rest of the lead. Sweetpool50 (talk) 13:41, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
