Can someone please check the biographical dates? Originally, the article stated that Delporte was born in 1882. This was changed (without citing sources) by an IP in 1872 while also some other years were changed: [1]. A quick google-check is inconclusive and other edits by that IP seem to be sensible, so no case of obvious vandalism here. Other Wikipedias give 1882 as birth year but may have that probably from this article in en WP.-- Proofreader ( talk) 08:53, 14 May 2010 (UTC) reply
