* Hi folks. I am the author of the Bernice Gordon page, and her granddaughter. I will be seeing her later this week for her 100th birthday party. I don't believe the actual date itself (the 11th) has been published, just references to the month and year(deducible from her age in different articles). I may be able to get access to her birth certificate. Is that a verifiable source? As an aside, I will get more offline publication names/dates when I see her and swap out the LATimes blogs. Thanks.

Bernice Gordon
- ... that award-winning crossword constructor Bernice Gordon, who turns 100 today, is the oldest living contributor to The New York Times crossword puzzle and still creates new puzzles every day?
- Reviewed George XI of Kartli. DS (talk) 15:55, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: please post on the morning (Eastern time zone) of January 11, 2014, as that is Ms. Gordon's 100th birthday. Article was built in sandbox over a few months, but only moved to mainspace today.

- I've fixed the lede. I'm not sure what you mean about the citation positioning. Yes, those particular blogspots are reliable. DS (talk) 01:10, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
- Whatever. Article looks OK now. 和DITOREtails 04:27, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
