Great job linking from my new article Bureau of Insular Affairs to Clarence Ransom Edwards. I had thought there might be an article on General Edwards based on his accomplishments during World War I, but I tried "Clarence Edwards" and "Clarence R. Edwards" without success, and didn't think to try "Clarence Ransom Edwards." Just out of curiosity, may I ask how you found my new article (I created it just an hour ago) so quickly?

Please do not violate Wikipedia rules of civility. One should no longer call the article here "dumb" any more than one should call your comment "ignorant" or "racist." If you'll look through Wikipedia, you'll find many encyclopedic lists. The purpose of this particular one is given in the article lead.
Welcome to the Wikipedia community, and we encourage you to make meaningful contibutions to this noble attempt at making knowledge and information freely and readily accessible to people all ove the world.-- Tenebrae 14:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Coincidence - I'd started to write about MAE Green a few days ago and just as I finished, I found you'd already made a start! Couldn't find anything about her being a philanthropist, though. I wonder if that could be one of the NIE's errors? -- HJMG 22:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your many useful-looking additions. But i reverted the 2nd of your two edits to List of people by name: Ande. If you think the incompleteness of the information on LoPbN is troublesome, please feel free to add entries lk'g to other WP bios, but
Thanks.

Hi GhostofSuperslum,
I noticed you recently created the article about Hermann Munk. I just wanted to let you know that you can announce any new Germany-related articles at Portal:Germany/New article announcements and Portal:Germany/New articles. That way other users interested in the topic can see them and might improve them.
You may also be interested in the WikiProject Germany.
Thanks,
-- Carabinieri 08:33, Monday, August 5, 2024 ( UTC) 2024
In errors, you recently noted Prince George County, Virginia issues - just as an FYI they may be referring to Prince George's County, Maryland which is extremely close. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 15:08, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your diligent additions to LoPbN, but please don't include lks other than to the bio article on the person the entry is about. The list is a navigational tool, which ideally would have no more than the person's name in cases where there is no chance of confusion between similar names. (The vital stats, nationality, and calling of primary notability are a compromise with two realities:
The situation is similar to that of one of the two most prominent types of nav pages, the Dabs, so viewing
WP:MOSDAB and its talk page and talk archives can offer perspective. In contrast to articles, where florid wikification is a virtue, nav pages should be as focused as is feasible on the style of nav'n that justifies their existence; extra text and extra lks are just visual and mental clutter and distractions that impede navigation.
I keep noticing your LoPbN work, and i hope you'll keep it up. Thanks again,

Here i am again, i suppose nagging. There's nothing that holy on LoPbN about our putting a comma after the bio'd person's vital stats (and BTW, as you're already doing, not before them), but consistent format is valuable, so your doing so when you remember will save edits. And, not-entirely-BTW, the Tl {{
LoPbN Entry}} one of our colleagues has put together may save you both effort and slips of the pen, once you've used it a few times & start to remember its name. A typical example of its use is
*{{subst:LoPbN Entry|Theodore Dru Alison|Cockerell|1866||American|zoologist}}

_ _ 1911 EB is one source of description of people as "statesman", but IMO it is, 96 years later, archaic except in speeches of praise: note the invariably positive terms "statesmanship" and "statesman-like". "Politician" can be used negatively, but is much less inherantly PoV than "statesman" has become. Thus the p word is by far more suitable to WP in general, and necessary on LoPbN, where (in contrast to a bio article) there is no room for providing nuance & clarification.
_ _ If you disagree, and the s word is important to you, raise it on
Talk:LoPbN so it can be considered as a list-wide issue rather than article by article. The p one is strongly predominant in LoPbN and is gradually becoming moreso: it is a de facto standard. Letting individual changes to s stand would be chaotic, and a source of PoV, as advocates seek "statesman" status for their favorites. Thanks for asking.

See
List of people by name: Andf-Andz#Andra. I'm not sure what you couldn't do, but i converted numeric char representations to (i think) Unicode, which i think is preferred. Should the old entry be discarded in favor of the one i coded? Do the articles or Rdrs need adjustment in some way?

Hi ! I have noticed that you have recently created several articles related to France. Kindly do announce such artilces on the Wikipedia:WikiProject France/New article announcements page. This helps other editors interested in France-related topics to contribute and help improve artciles. Happy editing, STTW (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

The LoPbN tree has been a list of bios for longer than its history can be traced, and the nature of Dab articles for a name does not suit lks to them for fulfilling the purposes that have evolved for the list. Your interest in these cases is admirable, but creating LoPbN-style entries that point to Dabs is counterproductive, bcz it leaves the impression that such lks are an appropriate permanent feature of the list, whereas in fact they would at best be stopgaps. Here are three other suggestions:

_ _ (You wrote:
Perhaps my writing you a few hours earlier, about your adding LoPbN entries to
List of people by name: Brown, raised for you the thought of writing me about your apparent frustrations -- but AFAI can tell, this is a change of topic, and i won't try to connect your msg to mine.)
_ _ I also sometimes see things going on on WP that i suspect i just don't get. I'm not sure what aspect of LoPbN is involved in your own understanding gap, and in any case, i'm not always good at trying to clarify tough spots that i think i understand to others -- tho i can try, if you want to be more concrete.
_ _ But as to rd-lks, i don't think you should feel obligated to add an article just bcz you created the rd-lk to it. WP thrives on one person creating a rd-lk and another creating at least a stub to satisfy it. IMO, WP and LoPbN are likely to suffer if you forgo adding rd-lks for notable people, just bcz you don't have time to also write the bio -- after all, except for topics so non-notable that they never emerge from orphan-hood, doing a really thorough job on any article would theoretically require checking virtually every other article (and making improvements it most of them!). Of course, it's you who must be satisfied with whatever pattern of loose ends you leave to your colleagues -- so, as always, while i am a dedicated
assignment editor, there's only
one WP editor under my direction.
_ _ Thanks for you work, and your effort, if i understand what you're saying, to be as responsible editor as possible.
