Wikibase allows the input of conflicting statements. A person can have two different birth dates. That is not undesirable - quite the contrary, it allows you to represent the wealth of documents which you have processed.
 
You can, however, bring clarity into the future handling of the specific situation:
 
# '''If it remains impossible to determine the correct date''' — make both statements with the respective references. They will now both occur in searches.
# '''If you can decide which of two dates research should continue to use''' — state both dates but upgrade or downgrade the alternatives by setting the arrows before the respective input fields before saving.
# '''If you can give reasons for your preference''' — use qualifying statements on each date: [[Property:P155]] "How sure is this" - you can add here a predefined statement from [[Proerty:P155|this list]] or you create an new Item which should be included in this list. Use [[Property:P73]] to set additional free notes on the case.
# '''If the proper answer should be acknowledged as your research'''  upgrarde your choice and downgrade the alternatives (as stated in 2). Use [[Property:P155]] to characterise your knowledge and add a [[Property:P196]] "reasoning" link to a new Item which you now create in order to refer to your personal thesis. Let us say this Q-Number is '''Q1234567'''.
::* use [[Property:P2]] in order to mark the new Item as a "[[Item:Q22848|FactGrid thesis]]"
::* state yourself with [[Property:P21]] as the author
::* date your FactGrid thesis with [[Property:P106]]
::* set a link to a blank page, which you will open with [[Property:P99]] and the prospective title '''https://database.factgrid.de/wiki/T-Q1234567'''. This will create a page of the respective Q-Number and here will now be free to write a complete article about the problem with your view. Your article can have chapters, it can refer to documents and research done in the field, it can have footnotes and images (format-wise just as any Wikipedia-article). It will be ''your'' article on the problem and people can use the article's Discussion page to offer their views on your work.
