For those of us not familiar with  trismegistos.org<http://trismegistos.org/>,

I have noticed that some records in Wikidata are using a site 
trismegistos.org<http://trismegistos.org> to establish birth dates. This is 
giving some odd results!

An instance is here

 date of birth

Is it possible to change this behavior?
