COI
David,

I had not viewed your talk page comments before my last message. I just had a chance to review the guidelines you forwarded.

The people at the info email also sent me the conflict of interest guidelines as well. I will act accordingly regarding future edits.

Thank you.Xianelda (talk) 14:19, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

David,

Hi. You have recently reverted accurate revisions I've made to both my father and mother's pages. As a representative at the estate's request, I ask that you undo both revisions. The information is erroneous, particularly in reference that I am an actor which I am not on my mother's page.

I do wish you will comply and undo these changes.

Thank you.Xianelda (talk) 14:21, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Carole Lombard edit
I noticed your removal of "1942" where the infobox in Carole Lombard shows her marriage to Clark Gable. The edit summary says, "(Omission per template instructions)". I am curious about that change because the Template:Infobox person documentation for the "spouse" line says, "... For deceased persons still married at time of death, close the date range with death year." Am I misunderstanding that guideline? Eddie Blick (talk) 23:59, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * So...kind of complicated. I go based off Template:Marriage instructions, which at the bottom of said article states under "Date ended" the following: Date the marriage was dissolved (just meaning divorced, I think?) or the spouse of the article's subject died. Notice no mention of when the marriage ends by death of subject of article. Also, there've been multiple discussions on said article regarding this exact debate, and the general consensus was to omit the year the marriage ended if it was due to the death of the subject of the article. Long story short, I don't think you misunderstood anything, but the instructions on Template:Infobox person do contradict those on Template:Marriage. I go based off Template:Marriage because that template is commonly used. At the end of the day, though, I have far more important things in life to worry about, so whatever happens will happen.

Translation notification: Template:InternetArchiveBot header
Hello Davejohnsan,

You are receiving this notification because you signed up as a translator to Spanish on Meta. The page Template:InternetArchiveBot header is available for translation. You can translate it here:
 * translate to Spanish

The InternetArchiveBot team has come up with a new header for its documentation and user pages designed to make important links as easy to find as possible. We use this header on the bot's global user page, and we have it set up to show the labels in your interface language, meaning that the labels will appear in Russian on Russian Wikipedia (unless you override the interface language).

In order for this feature to work, we need translations of those labels. There are only six labels:
 * About the Bot
 * Report Problem
 * Contact Us
 * Documentation
 * Configure
 * Disable Bot

If you know how to say those things in another language, you can help! And your work will make it easier for non-English speakers to use InternetArchiveBot.

Hello Davejohnsan,

You are receiving this notification because you signed up as a translator to Spanish on Meta. The page InternetArchiveBot/Problem is available for translation. You can translate it here:
 * translate to Spanish

Thank you to everyone who translated "Template:InternetArchiveBot header". The template is now available in 64 languages (including variants)! Now when people visit the bot's user page on those language wikis, they will be greeted with navigation options in their language. (We have since added one more link to the header – "Translate" – translations are appreciated!)

This page I am requesting translations for is the "report problem" page for InternetArchiveBot, directing the user to different places depending on the kind of problem they are having. There are a total of 17 terms to translate, consisting of short phrases and sentences. This page is directly linked from the header on InternetArchiveBot's global user page, so your work will likely be seen.

Name of son in Peter Mark Richman infobox
Your edit summary when you reverted my removal of piping from Lucas Richman posed the question: "They share the same last name; why is it necessary to repeat it?" Here are some thoughts in that regard:
 * I have seen many Wikipedia biographies of entertainers whose children do not have the same last name as the father or mother. For the sake of clarity and uniformity, it seems good to me to show each child's name in the infobox as it appears in the title of his or her article, rather than leave a reader to wonder whether the last name is the same or different.
 * Wikipedia style rarely (if ever) has people referred to by first name only. I don't know why children in an infobox should be an exception.
 * Template:Infobox person documentation does not specify how to show the names of children, but two items above that paragraph, the documentation for "spouse" says "Use article title (if linking) or common name." If a first-name-only principle had been intended for the "children" parameter, it seems that the documentation would have specified so. Without that specification, it seems to me that the principle stated for "spouse" carries down to "children".

Here are a couple of other thoughts about whether the last name should be repeated:
 * Helen Richman does not have an article on Wikipedia, so why not remove "Richman" from the "spouse" line, since they share the same last name?
 * What about an article like Lionel Barrymore? Should his father be listed as only Maurice in the infobox? The infobox documentation for "parents" has similar wording to that for "children". Eddie Blick (talk) 23:19, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay. I wanted to search around and see what I could find in the infoboxes. I personally don't see the need to list list name of children in infoboxes, but I see your view point. Since there's really no guidance from the template instructions, I'll leave your edit be if you go back and revert the change. Davejohnsan (talk) 02:44, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate your taking the time to search for a definitive rule or guideline. I wish we had something specific in writing that would eliminate differing interpretations. I will remove the piping again. If more specific guidance comes up to support using only the first name, it can always be changed later. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:00, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Consensus on suicide -- "committed" vs. "died by"
In your edits to the article on Avicii, you mention there's a long-standing consensus about describing suicide on Wikipedia. Can you point me to that consensus? Also note that the topic was under discussion on the talk page, but I didn't see you contribute to that discussion before making edits -- I believe that would be a good place for you to share any information you have about consensus here.
