D.o.b

March or May?

I always thought she was born on 28 MARCH 1940. There are several online bios that confirm this but also several that give the May date. Which is correct?

I don't know. The Britannica site has May, while BBC.CO.UK has March. There also seems to be confusion over whether she was born in Dublin or Dalkey. DoctorMud 00:14, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both. Dalkey is an area in Dublin. --➨♀♂Candlewicke _S^T_# :) 00:53, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Finbar's Hotel

Binchy is listed as having contributed to this book but I don't think she did.

Biography assessment rating comment

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. Please feel free to put any comments or ask any questions on my talk page. -- GDon4t0 (talk to me...)

A question

Bio currently reads, "She was a journalist at The Irish Times before becoming a full-time writer." But, um, isn't a journalist at the Irish Times generally considered to be a full-time writer?--68.199.33.181 18:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So true! I've re-worked it to make it more clear. DoctorMud 00:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Husband's Name

On her books and her website, her husband is listed as Gordon Snell. Is "Tobias Austin Bird" a pseudonym? US Reader (talk) 11:10, 19 July 2009 (UTC) US Reader[reply]

It appears to be vandalism by Ciarangc (talk · contribs) in mid-July. All the non-wiki sources I can find still list Snell as the husband, but there are now various wikipedia mirrors that repeat the Bird misinformation. I've reverted to the version from May, before ciarangc edited, since there were still some other lingering changes to the article that appear to be his and I don't know which of the changes since then to trust. Someone more familiar with this material than I should check the diffs and see whether any of the changes since May are worth adding back again. See also Tobias Austin Bird, proposed for deletion as unverifiable and a likely hoax. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:47, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dublin 4

Dublin 4 (the short story collection) directs to Dublin 4 (the postal district. Removing link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.212.4.3 (talk) 16:33, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
