I thought I'd check with a [[WP:RS]], and the actual ''date'' you supplied is correct. I'll change it, with acknowledgements to you.--[[User:AntientNestor|AntientNestor]] ([[User talk:AntientNestor|talk]]) 21:07, 2 May 2026 (UTC) :::{{u|GarethAd}} My revert was because your ''source'' was not allowed.

The information is certainly in the book as well, and also in the book cited for the other date, which has clearly been copied incorrectly, but I don't have access to either. But no matter, as long as it ends up with the right one :) [[User:GarethAd|GarethAd]] ([[User talk:GarethAd#top|talk]]) 01:12, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
