Error regarding the birthday of "Fatima Jinnah"

Hello all,

Fatima Jinnah's birthday here is listed as a notable of "July 30" where her birthday, according to all sources I can find (including on her very own page here on Wikipedia) is listed as "July 31."

I don't know what the reason for this error is, but this should be corrected ASAP. Source:

-with the best of intentions,

Emperor Meiji's death

Emperor meiji's death is listed here rather than the July 29 page. From my short research his death seemed to actually be on July 29, although it was announced as having happened on July 30. But because I am not confident about this because it's a mere 2 hour difference in his time of death that changes the date I decided not to edit that yet. If someone more experienced with Japanese emperors could look into this that would be appreciated. From the Wikipedia page on Emperor Meiji: "Emperor Meiji, suffering from diabetes, nephritis, and gastroenteritis, died of uremia. Although the official announcement said he died at 00:42 on 30 July 1912, the actual death was at 22:40 on 29 July." Rhine Mapper (talk) 12:05, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
