[Fixed]Wrong birth year of Shakespeare listed in LV database

[rita1075]

Hello,
I would like to point out that the birth year of William Shakespeare is listed in the LV database as "1554", not "1564". This should be fixed to "1564" to avoid confusion to LV listeners.
LV reader LenXZ1 already brought this problem to one of the admins, aradlaw by writing about it in the Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 project thread. You can find the post by following the link below.

Maybe it was simply a typo, I believe?
Could you please correct the error so that an accurate birth year of Shakespeare can be found in the LV database?
Thanks.

Thank you for pointing this out. The author page (https://librivox.org/author/37) read

William Shakespeare (1554 - 1616)
William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 (baptised) – 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright.

It was a typo and should be fixed now.

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 (baptised) – 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright.

Actually - no one knows when he was born but that's probably as good a guess as any
