Birth date/year

The article currently states she was born around 1956 (which would add up with the sourced statement that she created the national flag at age 15 in 1971), but I just found a source that says she was born on 7 May 1953. Is there definitive confirmation on one of these? HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 15:36, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

HapHaxion, I don't have a definite answer. When I did the age I used the flag design aged 15 and subtracted it - because that was in lots of sources (doesn't mean its right though). I looked for other confirmation of the 1953 date of birth, but couldn't find one. Happy to find a route for it to be changed Lajmmoore (talk) 15:53, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The only reason I can think of for the discrepancy is that the person typing the article may have used a numpad to enter the year and meant to type 1956 but put 1953 by accident (since 3 is right below 6). HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 16:03, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
