The day Tate died is not clear. Various sources give differing dates.
This needs to be explained. (And don't forget the Julian calendar.) Also a list of dates from credible sources would be good.
12 August 1715

- https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dictionary_of_National_Biography,_1885-1900/Tate,_Nahum
9 August or 16 August
Publication from his time (in Google search results page): "August 6, 1715: Nahum Tate, departed this Life on Saturday last." Converting 6 August to gregorian (17 August) and going to the Saturday before results in either 9 August or 16 August, but for the latter I'd expect to read "departed yesterday" -- unlikely if the publication was not geographically near to the event; the news travelled slowly at that time.
July 30, 1715

This is not simply a matter of converting julian to gregorian calendar ( https://stevemorse.org/jcal/julian.html), for example:
12 August(gregorian)
converted to julian calender: 1 August
julian to gregorian: 23 August
The issue has been raised before in 2013 (gregorian:-) ) by Angeldeb82. Experts, we need you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:F13:7780:3C17:E372:37DF:546F ( talk) 02:07, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
The term Anglo-Irish does not refer to a nationality, but rather to a particular group of people within Ireland, of English descent.
I've deleted 'quaint' as a description of 'Ter Tria' since I think its not a very NPOV. The term doesn't really do justice to the poem, which is quite epic and has some stunning passages of considerable originality. ANB ( talk) 16:08, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Do we actually know if he wrote the text to this piece? Other sources state that that is questionable. Harpsichord246 ( talk) 01:46, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
I'm getting confused. Some articles say that Nahum Tate died on July 30, 1715, but this one says he died on August 12. Which death date is correct? -- Angeldeb82 ( talk) 19:52, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
I suspect that the picture is of Henry Purcell rather than Nahum Tate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.2.143.132 ( talk) 00:07, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
the present image is, aside from being garish, not linked to any sources confirming it is indeed a depiction of tate, doesn't seem to exist on tineye or other reverse image searching sites, is still labelled as a depiction of him from 1700, despite being labelled elsewhere on wikipedia as a modern description. given the above confusion regarding the previous portrait used, I believe it may be better to just run without a porttrait for mr tate.
