Wikipedia has a neutral POV that must be maintained, that is why I have reverted the article.

About the birthdate: I don't know enough to be any authority on the subject, but I'm not sure we should state it without some qualifier, like a question mark. What exactly is the evidence for the date? Do we know that Ahmad himself recognized that day as his birthday? Lots of generally reliable English language sources say he was born in 1839, without giving a certain day, so I'm hesitant to bluntly contradict them without some fairly good reason.

The date is based on authentic biography of A R Dard Imam of the London Mosque, 1948. { He states that the references are drawn from the writings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad et al.} CORIN 30 Nov 2004
The Birthdate is clearly supported from Biographies and original sources. I do not understand why so much fuss is made over this point.
The Article is likely to be considered as POV because of the anamosity towards the Community and its substantial growth in recent years - the information is supported by biographies and materials provided by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Movement and Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha`at Islam, not mere opinions of opponents. The article is likely to be uncomfortable to both Christians and Muslims, but the facts given cannot be disputed as Ahmadi. It cannot therefore not be controversial.
Every effort has been made to avoid bias over the 1914 split. CORIN 2.12.2004 09.19
All right, all right, there's no fuss, I know little about him, but I just didn't understand why sources like Britannica weren't giving that date. It's no problem, I believe you. By the way, could you convert your chronological list into standard prose (I assume you were the one who added it) and integrate it into the rest of the text, or at least add bullet points so it's neater?
