Talk:John Farrah

Editing the infobox
An infobox is supposed to represent and summarise the article and its subject. Please note that Farrah was a toffee-shop owner, and is still famous as such in Harrogate. His name was and is on the toffee tins. And he was an amateur scientist; it was his secondary occupation. Therefore the infobox needs to be "person", not "scientist", even though he did contribute to science. Also, we only include nationality in an infobox if their nationality is an issue;, e.g. they have immigrated, it is not obvious that they are British because they lived a long time abroad and they have a foreign name, and so on. And thirdly, we do not usually include their relatives in the infobox unless they have a bearing on the subject's career or identification, or they already have an article. If in doubt, please discuss here before adding that type of edit. Storye book (talk) 13:19, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
