Folks,
Real quick question: Is there any problem with using a foreign language WP Article as a source in the English language one? In this case it's birth & death dates.
I don't think we are meant to use ourselves as sources. Certainly using an internal link as a source is not allowed, so I would guess a link to another Wikipedia/WMF project would be similarly frowned upon. Where does the other Wikipedia get its source for the DOB? - you could use that?
Interesting. Neither of the two sources the German Article cites lists the full dates of B&D, only years; so I don't really know where the author of the piece got the full dates. BTW, the Article in question is on the painter [[Hans Hansen]].
