[edit] Spelling

Seeing as his name is written in Cyrillic, the English transliteration varies with the news report.→ R Young {yakłtalk} 13:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Facts

Despite overzealous news reporting, we should not assume this case to be true unless/until the actual documents are produced. This includes birth records from 1911 or earlier, not simply 1991 passports.→ R Young {yakłtalk} 13:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

He has 3 passports! I assume at least one of them was before 1991 - unsure about records from 1911. As well non-disputed publication on government site about his 113 years birthday (3 year ago) add some credibility compared to regular press. --TAG 17:41, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of birth

This article states that Nestor claimed to be born on March 15, 1891. Yet, in two separate places within the article -- the very first line and the info box to the right -- his date of birth is listed as March 13, 1891. Are these typo's ... or is there some discrepancy in his date of birth? The article is unclear on this. Does anyone know? I would edit out a typo, but I am not sure which date is correct. Thanks.
