   1913 was the publication date; the rope-pulling experiments were conducted in the 1880s.

   Before

   In the summer of 1913, a French agricultural engineer named Max Ringelmann conducted what may be the first controlled experiment in social psychology

   After

   In the 1880s, a French agricultural engineer named Max Ringelmann conducted what may be the first controlled experiment in social psychology

   Why: Verified live: the intro already correctly states the experiments were conducted 'In the 1880s'. A later section heading and FAQ entry reference '1913' but consistently as the publication date of Ringelmann's paper (Annales de l'Institut National Agronomique, 1913), not the experiment date - this distinction is factually correct and not a leftover of the original fabrication.

   No action required this pass; confirming the existing correct state.
