-I'm confused about the character's age.
-The article states "The first Dredd story, published in 1977, was set in 2099, 122 years in the future, and so stories published in 2023 are set 122 years in the future, in 2145 ... Therefore, Dredd was 38 when he first appeared, but is now 84 years old ... How Dredd's aging would be addressed was a source of reader speculation until 2016, when writer Michael Carroll and artist Ben Willsher published the story "Carousel", in which Dredd is ordered to undertake rejuvenation treatment."
-However, the article later summarises the story "The Carousel" thus: "In the year 2138, Joe Dredd - now 72 years old - is ordered to undergo another "rejuve treatment" at the Carousel Clinic (the first rejuve treatment happened soon after "Necropolis" due to his injuries in "The Dead Man", in the years 2112 when he was 46)".
-Wouldn't he be 77 in 2138, not 72? Year of publication 2016 - first appearance 1977 = 39 years, + age on debut 38 = 77. Similarly, the age for the first rejuve treatment should be 51, not 46 (Year in the story 2112 - year of debut 2099 = 13, + age on debut 38 = 51).
-Am I wrong somewhere? --[[Special:Contributions/37.157.52.71|37.157.52.71]] ([[User talk:37.157.52.71|talk]]) 13:29, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
-:I believe I got this wrong a while back as well: Dredd is a clone, and his first 5 years were either accelerated or negligible as he grew in the tube, or whatever Morton Judd used to incubate him.

-::That's right, but we should still make the article consistent instead of confusing the readers. [[User:Richard75|Richard75]] ([[User talk:Richard75|talk]]) 23:39, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
-::So you're saying he was biologically 5 when he chronolgically 'born'? --[[Special:Contributions/37.157.52.71|37.157.52.71]] ([[User talk:37.157.52.71|talk]]) 09:41, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
-:::Yes. [[User:Richard75|Richard75]] ([[User talk:Richard75|talk]]) 10:42, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
-::::In that case we can just edit the first paragraph to read something like "Dredd was 32 when he first appeared, but is now 79 (though biologically five years older due to being a clone with an artificially-accelerated gestation)." --[[Special:Contributions/37.157.52.71|37.157.52.71]] ([[User talk:37.157.52.71|talk]]) 14:06, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
