Date of birth; conflicting sources[edit]

The article has conflicting sources for her birthdate: This article says February 4, while this archived one says January 31st. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:55, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible that the first article relied on the en.wikipedia page itself. This other article states that Qin Yi celebrated her 100th birthday on 31 January 2022.--Alienautic (talk) 19:55, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note that it's not accurate to characterize the IP's edits as "vandalism"; I've warned them for edit-warring and asked them to participate in the discussion here. I'm somewhat more included to believe the article that says she celebrated her birthday on January 31, as that seems more specific. I don't read Chinese, but I wonder if there are aditional sources available elsewhere? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:16, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
