[edit] Two notes

1. His middle name comes from the title of the fact sheet sold by Thomson Gale, as listed on amazon.com. Thus there cannot be any question of "unfair competition" or some such by our using this possible competitor as a source. Lupo 10:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
2. His precise birthdate is no secret as it's given on his own web site (and also at the German Wikipedia, and the NAPF bio). Lupo 10:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Re exact birthdate, erring on the side of deletion per WP:BLP. If you feel that this is important to put back in, go ahead and I won't take it out again. Nice work on expanding the article! Crust 20:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I've re-added it. His exact birthdate already readily accessible on the web (including on his own web site!) and it's more accurate to include it. Also, it takes a little more than just a birthdate to pull off an identity theft (which seems to be the reasoning at WP:BLP), especially in the case of a public figure like Mr. Ferencz.
