I'm not arguing in favor of the 1965 birthdate because I know of no good evidence for it, but I do have to point out that the 1978 date we had was highly implausible. [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0853301/ IMDB] lists her credits going back to 1985, including roles where she would obviously be playing an adult (with names like "Mother") as early as 1988. The 1978 date would make her just a 10-year-old child at that time. I agree with Tiddlywinks that it's a good idea not to give any date until we can confirm one, rather than simply letting the implausible 1978 date remain by default.

:Also, it appears the 1978 date was added [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Veronica_Taylor&diff=1311684&oldid=1229322 without citation] by a user who added a large number of voice actor birth dates around the same time with no citation for any of them. This casts them all into doubt, and most of them remain visible in the mainspace, so I'll go remove those as well.

::Update: While reverting these dates added by Rocketspeed, I found one [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pete_Zarustica&diff=1311678&oldid=1268664 they had added] that was later [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pete_Zarustica&diff=1686511&oldid=1686441 debunked] (although not with as reliable a source as would be preferred), which makes it even more likely Rocketspeed was adding untrue information.
