Introduction Welcome to the eighth edition of The Date-A-Base Book! As always, every entry has been cross-checked in Encyclopaedia Britannica and on official websites and other sources. This is not an easy process as there’s an awful lot of “disinformation” out there, and it’s definitely getting worse. Whenever there was doubt – which there frequently was – we’ve tried to go back to the original source. Even so, we advise you to double-check each date before using it, and satisfy yourself that it is 100% correct. If you come across any mistakes please let us know. We’ll post any corrections we hear about on the official ideas4writers blog: http://ideas4writers.wordpress.com As far as possible we’ve used New Style (NS) dates from the Gregorian calendar. Celebrities are notorious for knocking a few years off their ages. Wherever possible we’ve given both their real and claimed dates of birth, and noted which is which. Similarly, they don’t always go by their real names, so we’ve used the names by which they are most commonly known.
