Hello everyone, I made a draft about a climate activist, Anna Kernahan. Since it is my first article, I don't know if it is good or not and I need some feedback .

Hello all - I'm noticing an odd error message on the WikiProject Biography banners this morning, which wasn't there yesterday. It says, "[[Category:Script error: The function "quality" does not exist.-Class biography (sports and games) articles]]" (I've had to add the nowiki brackets so that the message appears here). An example of this can be found on Talk:Dominique Termansen. It seems to be connected to the class parameter, but I can't tell why it's appearing. If you can help with this, thank you! .......PKT(alk) 12:30, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

A biographical article can sometimes be expanded by mentioning what the person did after their major accomplishments were completed. For example,  John David Larson, an American brigadier-general, was also president of an insurance company. Aage Leidersdorff, who participated at three different Olympics, also owned a successful fur business. Otto Jelinek, a figure skater, was later a Canadian cabinet minister. I'm mentioning these examples because sometimes post-military or post-sports careers can demonstrate notability even if significant coverage for the earlier career is hard to find. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:25, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

I was wondering, what is the best way to connect all these articles together to show the family, starting with Alan Haig-Brown (footballer), Roderick Haig-Brown to Alan Haig-Brown, Helen Haig-Brown, all directly related and no Haig-Brown Surname article. I am not sure how many more there are. I don't know how to do a simple family tree, but it seems a family tree template would help that. Cheers. Govvy (talk) 21:01, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Hmm, nobody have comments for this...??? Govvy (talk) 04:15, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I work at The Wonderful Company, and I am hoping an editor would be willing to correct the wedding date of Stewart and Lynda Resnick-they were married in 1972, as is correctly noted on Lynda Resnick’s page. However, on Stewart Resnick’s page the year is listed incorrectly as 1973 in the personal life section. I've studied Wikipedia's guidelines regarding COI editing and believe my disclosures have been posted appropriately. Appreciate any assistance that can be provided in making this correction.

Question about infobox |name= and article title?

Hi, the Template:Infobox person documentation reads (my bold):

Parameter	Explanation
name	Common name of person (defaults to article name if left blank; provide |birth_name= (below) if different from |name=). If middle initials are specified (or implied) by the lead of the article, and are not specified separately in the |birth_name= parameter, include them here. Do not put honorifics or alternative names in this parameter. There are separate parameters for these things, covered below.
birth_name	Name at birth; only use if different from |name=.

I read this as saying not to use |birth_name= if it would otherwise repeat |name=, save for the specificity of a middle name/initial, and that if that is the case and |birth_name= is not used, a middle initial can be in |name= even if it's not present in the article title, provided a middle initial is "implied" by the lead (which I took to mean a middle name is present in the first sentence).

And I know elsewhere,

MOS:INFOBOXNAME reads (again, my bold):

The template should have a large, bold title line. Either a table caption or a header can be used for this. It should be named the common name of the article's subject but may contain the full (official) name; this does not need to match the article's Wikipedia title, but falling back to use that (with {{PAGENAMEBASE

}}) is usually fine. It should not contain a link.

As such I have read these to say that |name= can include a middle initial even if that middle initial is not in the article title, however I wanted to ask to see if there was a consensus that the article title had to match exactly. This conversation started initially for the article

WP:COMMONNAME selected as the title. Thanks for any thoughts which might clear up my confusion! Courtesy ping GiantSnowman. Umimmak (talk

) 17:13, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

My nearly 20 year experience of editing BLPs is - the name parameter reflects the name of the subject (which is also the article title), with some minor exceptions like royalty/aristocracy, and the birthname/fullname parameter is for inclusion of middle names as well. If there is no middle name, then there is no need to use both. GiantSnowman 18:40, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

What is the best way to handle disambiguation of personal name?

I really don't want this perceived as canvassing. What is the best placement for the title of an article when disambiguation is a problem? Let's say you have chess master, Thomas Wentworth, and there are seven other equally famous Thomas Wentworth's. He has the sourced middle name of Percy but really never uses it. No other Thomas Wentworth has the middle name Percy. Is it better to place his article title at Thomas Percy Wentworth or Thomas Wentworth (chess)? The middle name could be sourced to older university biographies, but really nothing else. Consensus will usually happen one way or the other regardless of guidelines depending on the editors in move request, but in most cases which way would WikiProject Biography lean as best for our readers? I've always wondered about this since we always strive not to use parentheses but then we also don't want to use a factual middle name that a person rarely uses.

Hello,

Jody Freeman

Hello,

As part of my work at Beutler Ink, I am submitting a series of edit requests to update the Jody Freeman article, which has an "advertisement" banner, as well as unsourced and biased text. Since I have a COI, I'm proposing article improvements at Talk:Jody Freeman instead of editing the article directly. I am currently seeking assistance to update the Memberships section, and I've proposed removing the "advertisement" banner, if any WikiProject Biography members are interested in joining the discussion. Cheers! BINK Robin (talk) 16:12, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Jim Goetz

Hello, I made a suggestion for an addition to the Jim Goetz on the article's Talk page. Would anyone here be interested in reviewing it? I have a conflict of interest with regard to Mr. Goetz, so it's best I not edit the article myself. Best, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:07, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Joe Kiani - Concerns about Controversies and Investigations section

Hi all! I have posted a consensus discussion on Joe Kiani’s Talk page regarding a section of his Wikipedia article. The Controversies and Investigations section was added to his page and I feel as though it violates a handful of Wikipedia guidelines and would like to see it removed. Here is the link to the section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Joe_Kiani#Concerns_about_the_Controversies_and_Investigations_section.

I’m looking forward to discussing this with you and appreciate your help in advance!

Jay Sures

Hello. I am a consultant working with United Talent Agency. I am hoping an editor can update Jay Sures’ page to include his recent action as a UC regent condemning the UC Ethnic Studies Faculty Council's request that the University of California retract its statement condemning the October 7 attack as “an act of terrorism.” I have provided suggested language and secondary sources below.  

In October 2023, Sures in his role as a UC regent, publicly rebuked the UC Ethnic Studies Faculty Council request that UC leaders retract their statement declaring the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel “an act of terrorism…that deserves and requires our collective condemnation.” Sures expressed concern these faculty members were perpetuating hate and discrimination rather than advocating for “constructive paths to improve the situation for Israelis and Palestinians.” Weeks later the UC Regents committed $7 million to emergency mental health services, programs focused on better understanding antisemitism and Islamophobia, and training for faculty and staff on how to navigate their roles as educators.
