Birth dates and death dates are not the same

We are a study on aging and longevity, so it is really important to only type death dates in the death date field and not type birth dates. During some data integrity checks this was noticed to be such a problem as to mildly annoy Chris. It's really, really difficult to mildly annoy Chris, so you know this was a problem.

Please only type death dates in the death date field on the death screen. After you've typed it, look at the date to make sure what you typed makes sense.

The errors Chris found have fallen into two main categories:

1. Typos - do not to type 1809 when the document says 1909
2. Typing actual birth dates in the death date field - we suspect this happens because the inputter is trying to be quick and types the wrong date from Find a Grave

These problems will both be solved if you take a second and make sure you typed the correct date in the field.
