Talk:Moisey Feigin

Age?

There is only one reference that stats he died at 104 but the article and recent deaths page has been changed to 103. Why is this? Chandlerjoeyross (talk) 22:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

October 1904 - May 2008 is only 103 full years. It's possible that where he's from, like China, starts counting ages at 1 instead of 0 (thus they would be turning "2" on their first birthday). The giveaway is his record - it lists him as being 102 years and 199 days in May 2007, a year ago. Guinness, being a "Western" source, counts his age from 0. The only thing in this article that should read 104 is the title of the article in the reference - since we have to cite it properly. Cheers, CP 04:45, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
