post-nominals template in infoboxes
Hi Duncan.Hull! You may not have noticed that a number of infoboxes have been standardised so that honorific_prefix and honorific_suffix are formatted smaller than name. This means that any infobox using post-nominals template (or for that matter the pre-nominals template) need to have the size set at 100. If not, the automatic 85% size of the template combines with the infobox formatting to make super small post-noms. Since the update, I have been correcting these when I find them: would you be willing to do the same? Thanks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 23:12, 20 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello is there a style guideline that suggests this, because the default setting for Template:Post-nominals is small, with 100% being an option, rather than mandatory. Duncan.Hull (talk) 09:35, 21 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Its not a matter of style but of formatting. Various biographical infoboxes have had their formatting altered in the last month or so. so that the honorific parameters automatically appear smaller than name. While certain infoboxes needed the default setting of the pre/post-nominals templates to appear small, this has now been built into the formatting of the infoboxes themselves. This was done for two reasons: to standardise those parameters across the various biographical infoboxes; and to ensure that they are small even when the pre/post-nominals templates aren't being used, for example when there is only one post-nom. The result of this is that when the pre/post-nominals templates are used with the default sizing, it now makes it doubly small. This, amongst other things, introduces accessibility issues (MOS:FONTSIZE: "Avoid using smaller font sizes in elements that already use a smaller font size, such as infoboxes ... In no case should the resulting font size drop below 85% of the page font size"). Does this now make sense? Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 14:11, 21 November 2017 (UTC)


 * OK, I see thanks for the pointer. Duncan.Hull (talk) 14:20, 21 November 2017 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 14:41, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of the page Alex Zhavoronkov
Dear Duncan, Can you please take a look at the Wiki page of my collaborator, Alex Zhavoronkov. One of the editors, who is an anti-blockchain evangelist requested the deletion of this page and summoned several editors to help. It would be great to have someone with the expertise with academics and published authors to take a look at the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.123.230.81 (talk) 10:09, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Ethos urls
You may remember me asking why you were altering Ethos urls to the university and leaving the ethos ids intact. I'd be grateful for an answer. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 21:05, 29 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello because Redundancy is good, providing multiple urls to the same thing means that if one of them doesn't work, a failover or alternative URL can be followed instead. It gives multiple routes to the same thing, such as Stephen Hawkings PhD for example:

Laboratory of Molecular Biology
Is Laboratory of Molecular Biology a part of Cambridge University? It looks like an independent lab. Ber31 (talk) 02:54, 4 December 2017 (UTC)


 * hello technically I believe its part of the University of Cambridge, it uses the same domain (e.g. http://www.cam.ac.uk and http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk), although 80% of its funding comes from the Medical Research Council (MRC) (see https://elifesciences.org/articles/00856) which is not a part of the university. Duncan.Hull (talk) 12:07, 4 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Before 1963, it was a part of Cambridge. Cambridge University Nobel prize count doesn't include LMB Nobel laureates. Ber31 (talk) 06:37, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, an intern working with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please reply to this message or email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview. .

Judith Driscoll's w'pedia page
Thanks for adding my colleague Prof. Driscoll's thesis, web site and birth name to her infobox, but I don't understand your other changes: (i) putting in a 'when', when the year is given in the awards section of the article, and (ii) removing one of the awards in the infobox. In fact, since there is an awards section in the article, the awards part of the infobox might as well be removed altogether, as it is now a little bit cluttered. Do you agree? --Brian Josephson (talk) 21:46, 4 December 2018 (UTC)


 * hello its good to have significant awards (those with wikipedia articles) in the infobox as they appear in the Knowledge Graph for example. As for the Brasiers prize, the  was an attempt to clarify - as far as I can tell it looks like there might be two different awards with exactly the same name? The Royal Society one described at Armourers and Brasiers' Company Prize (which doesn't link back to Judith) and the Royal Academy of Engineering one (with exactly the same name which is separate? confusing...) described at https://www.raeng.org.uk/news/news-releases/2016/january/university-of-cambridge-materials-engineer-wins-ro can you confirm this is the case? Duncan.Hull (talk) 21:57, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I should imagine A&B fund the award bestowed by the RAE, but also have their own prize but I agree it is pretty confusing. It is clear though from the article on the RAE site that what she got was the RAE one and I've adjusted the infobox accordingly.  I guess I could ask her if she has any views as to which of her awards should be given prime place in the infobox.  Recent controversy has made it clear that w'pedia and the wider community don't always share opinions as to what is important! --Brian Josephson (talk) 22:56, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

I have reverted to an earlier version because you changed the citation style with no explanation or justification, and unpicking all those changes would be a lot of work. I notice that you also corrupted one of the references, so that it has an "access date" of 2018 (swapped "date" and "access date" fields). "Selected publications" is a standard section in articles on academics, and should be retained. I have reinstated the infobox and am about to fix the ref problem there...

 * Done, and re-used that better reference. I find that a separate full list of references is much easier to work with, and it is one of the acceptable formats for references, so there was no justification for you to change it to your preferred format of reflist. Pam  D  07:29, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * OK thanks, I've restored the 14 citations that were deleted by one the edits as well as the sections I accidentally deleted. Thanks for your contributions Duncan.Hull (talk) 10:34, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
