Talk:Ludwig van Beethoven

Citation Needed on Born/Death Year
Where the fact template is in the intro paragraph for the born/death dates, in this case is Wikipedia a valid source, since this article is showing the real-world born/death years, or does the citation need to be a DWU source? I'm new here, and I read through parts of the Manual of Style, especially T:CITE, and still am unsure. --ToaMeiko ☎  05:22, August 26, 2013 (UTC)
