Bug Description
This information is based on the results of the actual scientific project about Johannes Bückler, called Schinderhannes (1779-1803).

This seems to be about http:// openlibrary. org/b/OL1596984 5M and http:// openlibrary. org/b/OL1815010 2M .
There are english and german wikipedia articles about the subject:
http:// en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Schinderhannes de.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Johannes_ B%C3%BCckler
http://
The english article says "c. 1778" and the more detailed german article says 1779.
Actually quite a few other books (mostly in subject categories) mention the incorrect 1783 date:
http:// openlibrary. org/search? q=schinderhanne s+1783
And a couple of books give his name as "Johannes Biegler".
What is the best way to deal with this? Just fix all the dates through the wiki? What about reporting the fixes to the upstream data source? We should come up with some way to do that.
