HW7: Web scraping

The last example from the class notebook on web scraping asks you to write a function that, when called with the URL of a Wikipedia page for a person, will extract and return their birthday. Write that code in a notebook named hw7-birthday-extractor and add it to your GitHub repository. Submit a link to that notebook on GitHub.

When doing these, I'm looking for a good effort, not necessarily the exact right answer. Don't short change yourselves by just trying random things—putting in the time to really give this a good go will pay off in the long run, even if you don't get the exact right answer. Make sure you attempt both questions and that your attempts involve the components asked for in the question. You may work on this with others in the class.
