Talk:Fairfax Harrison

Citation style
This article has a consistent citation style. Per WP:CITEVAR, anyone wishing to change that citation style needs to gain consensus on the talk page before changing the reference style. Instead of continuing to change the style when reverting, can the editor who is changing the style please revert and come discuss? Ealdgyth - Talk 14:18, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Re Harry DeButts reference, text was amended to cite him as "protégé" but perhaps should mention that DeButts served as Southern Ry president, 1952-1962.(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_A._DeButts) Michaeljy (talk) 17:14, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

House, ancestry, etc trivia
This is a featured article. The lead should not have anything that isn't developed in the article body. Nor should we be discussing trivial ancestry - nor should we be using phrasing like "descended from the ancient and prominent English gentry family of" - that's very very very POV wording. And the addition is sourced to the work by Harrison himself. We shouldn't be using primary sources such as this to discuss information. And for the sake of all the gods, can you like learn to format citations to at least pretend to match the system in use in the article??? A bare url in a featured article is just making work for other editors even if the addition was at all useful or due weight, which it is not. --Ealdgyth (talk) 22:15, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, and yeah. WP:BRD. The proper thing to do when you're reverted is to discuss, not to readd the information. --Ealdgyth (talk) 22:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
