This is odd. So you are saying wikipedia kept getting it wrong for a long time but now the announcement has it wrong and wikipedia is correct?

I cannot imagine why you find the statements above odd but compare and contrast:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_C._Dvorak&ol...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Dvorak

Enough scrolling through the edit history and you could determine when wikipedia finally got their shit together on his birthdate.

  • The odd part is that the announcement used the same erroneous date that Wikipedia used to have. Perhaps someone forgot to refresh their cache for a couple of years.
