Order of categories
Is there any policy or guideline behind your edit here?

I usually use code like  to add the Defaultsort and birth/death/living categories to an article; DEFAULTSORT has to appear before any categories (per WP:ORDER), so the birth/death/living categories will follow it immediately, ie before any other categories which are already present. Is there a rule to say that they should be elsewhere? Pam D  08:12, 16 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Note: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization section 3.1 (toward the end) has some considerations about the order of categories but does not specifically talk about birth/death/living cats.  Attention: @User:PamD   --FeanorStar7 (talk) 11:53, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

William T. Greenough article assessment
I reassessed William T. Greenough as start class. You'd rated it a stub a couple of weeks ago. It now has more than 30 citations, which would make it one of the more comprehensive stubs in my experience. While I don't usually quibble about assessments, the article has been submitted for DYK. Officially at least, stub class articles aren't eligible for DYK, and I do think this article should be eligible for that. It's more comprehensive than most new articles accepted for DYK.

Thanks again for reading and checking the Jesse Root Grant biography. Saw your greeting on your user page.

Bio of Marco Averà, Ceo of Snam - looking for suggestions
Dear FeanorStar7, I have recently submitted a draft containing the biography of Marco Alverà, CEO of Snam, the Italian natural gas infrastructure company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Marco_Alver%C3%A0). Judging by what is written in your bio (you are currently working on living people articles), I thought this content might be of interest to you. I was wondering if you could have a look and tell me what you think. Thank you in advance! Anna Sai (talk) 15:03, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Pierre François Dumont
I see you assessed this article as "Stub". That is, "A very basic description of the topic. ... Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition." See WP:ARTASS. It would be helpful if you could provide notes on the article's talk page (not here) explaining what improvements would be needed to get it up the "C" level, where it would be useful to a casual reader.

WikiProject Wikify: Current Backlog Reduction Plan
Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - underlinked - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

Hi! I'm just wondering why you labeled Yelena Stempkovskaya as a stub on the talk page. It's 4,264 bytes, much longer than what is traditionally considered a stub.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 12:27, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Category sort
Is there a reason you are putting birth and death date cats for people on the bottom of list of cats? The overwhelming majority of articles I have seen have these on the top, so for purposes of standardization, that seems like the best place. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 12:59, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * And if an editor creates the categories the quick way using  to add birth, death and DEFAULTSORT, they will do so above any other categories, so these two will come first.  Pam  D  13:24, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * There's no rule at WP:CATEGORIES ("the order in which categories are placed on a page is not governed by any single rule"), but looking at the first 5 Featured Article biographies at Featured_articles the birth and death cats come first for 3 of them, and after one or two defining cats but before all the rest for the other two. So there's inconsistency for FAs, but in that sample of 5 they were not put at the bottom of the list. Pam  D  13:31, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

My point is striving for consistency, not that there's any rule about it. Of all cats on a bio article, these two categories are likely to be most common. If they are put on the bottom, they will likely rise to the middle as new cats are added by additional authors as the article develops. If they are put on the top, they hopefully will stay there. This is all IMHO. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 13:39, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * thanks, everyone for your comments; the reason I thought that putting them on the bottom was a good idea is that they are (IMHO) not as important as what the person is known for (American women scientists, for example). Also, in a lot of cases, the category will be year of birth missing or something like that; which is a hidden category anyway... I add the categories manually. --FeanorStar7 13:44, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I can really recommend the "Subst:L" method - lots of results for relatively few keystrokes. Leave a date field blank or add "missing" or "unknown" as appropriate - so  gets her the "living people" and "date of birth missing (living people)" categories, while   is when we know she's dead and think her dates are likely to be findable somewhere (eg she was active in 19th century), or   when it's unlikely that the birth date is recorded anywhere, etc.  Pam  D  13:55, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

I would offer that our opinion on what is most important goes against NPOV. For that reason, I always alpha lists. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 13:49, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

To be or Not to be a Stub
Hi, thank you for doing a stub assessment on the Gali Muddu Krishnama Naidu article which I've done quite a lot of work on recently. I was hoping it wouldn't be considered to be a stub any more because I've expanded it quite a bit and I removed its stub tag when I'd finished (my bad) but you've put it back again.

As stated
I had asked you why you put yes to living, etc. Obviously I took it off because the page is not encountering huge traffic and doesn't need it. That is to protect the page from people who are trivializing things or just being silly. Neither is happening so it's not necessary. Bleucheeses (talk) 01:24, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
 * You're asked to answer the above question. Are you putting "bio tags" all over the site? Are they necessary or can't they be adapted to the types of personalities? You seem to use the one size fits all approach. Bleucheeses (talk) 01:33, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Well. You replied, thanks. My thinking is you may be incorrect but there's nothing affected by you doing so. Here's my opinion and you can probably find many others that agree. Because everyone is living you are saying they should be tagged. As already mentioned some pages get much less traffic or even almost no visitors. I do not concur that putting classifications on things or using other tags means you must have the bio tag, but go ahead! : ) I hope you find other things on here to be quite enthusiastic about, not just seemingly mundane and boring stuff.

Removal of WP:BIO tags
I (and other editors, I've noticed) have removed those tags from the talk pages of articles about missing-persons cases because they aren't biographies. They're about events, not people: "Disappearance of X", not "X". The people involved would not meet the criteria for having an article about themselves simply on the basis that they went missing, and since that's usually the only reason we have an article about them, we don't name the article after them.

Yes, they have biographical information, but that's usually short (the sources available usually don't focus on that much, anyway) and included only as relevant to the article, i.e. to explain how they wound up living where they were living when they disappeared. Daniel Case (talk) 01:18, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Stub criteria
Are there criteria for assessing a biography as stub, or do have reviewers different standards, and yours are high? Anke Sieloff. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:54, 1 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Was passing through here and saw your question. I hope FeanorStar7 doesn't mind I answer it.

Standards to remove "stub" and make it a "start", from what I understand are: 1. Prose size (text only): should be greater than 1500 B "readable prose size" 2. Paragraphs and prose should have sources

I have a tool that helps me determine the Prose Size. It doesn't count lists as prose. The tool to determine the prosesize is in my common.js subpage. You can see it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_Eloquent_Peasant/common.js

With that code in my common.js subpage, I get a "Page size" Tool on my Wikipedia. When I click on Page size, the page prose of the article is highlighted in yellow and the Prose Size is given, at the top ... Go ahead and copy that code into your common.js  subpage and you should be able to do the same--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 12:49, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

non-diffusing cats
Thanks for updating the cats at Gillian Genser. Just a quick heads up about non-diffusing categories: typically someone shouldn't be removed from an occupation-related category and placed in a "women [occupation]" category. The latter is non-diffusing, so someone can be in e.g. "Canadian women sculptors" and either "Canadian sculptors" or some other subcategory of Canadian sculptors.

Question re: bolding of journal citations
[Imzadi1979]

Hi: I saw that you have worked on journal citations in the past. I have a question regarding the use of bolding for volume numbers of periodicals.

Example (from Richard Worsam Meade I article):


 * De Cunzo, Lu Ann (April 1983). "An Historical Interpretation of William Birch's Print 'High Street, From Ninth Street, Philadelphia'". Pennsylvania History. 50 (2): 109–147. JSTOR 27772895.

What is the purpose of bolding the volume number of the periodical if nothing else in the citation is bolded? Is it the fact that it is used for one publication published in several volumes or something else? It just looks strange to me because my understanding of how bolding works is that whatever is bolded can be searched and linked to the lede of an article; example: John Smith. I hope this is a clear explanation of my question. Thanks very much. --FeanorStar7 (talk) 15:36, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for adding a category to an article I've started yesterday. I am generally interested in content and not so much in technical issues, only so much as to allow me to edit.

Thank you very much! Arminden (talk) 11:56, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * @Arminden, hi and thanks for your question. The purpose of the DEFAULTSORT tag is to produce a correct ordering of member pages and subcategories on category pages (especially for categories with a large number of pages, such as WP Biography), which appear in particular articles (for example: Hezekiah (governor)). This is particularly useful when more than one article uses the same or similar names (John Smith is a good example here).

Assistance with Nate Morris article
Hello FeanorStar7, I'm a representative of Nate Morris, working recently to collaborate with the community to improve the encyclopedic entry. Understanding Wikipedia's guidelines for my paid conflict of interest, I am looking for volunteers willing to help by weighing-in and implementing changes, so I can stay hands-off and respectful of the rules in place. Understanding too that the edit request queue is long, I thought I would look for contributors who may be interested in the content as my request remains unanswered so far. I stumbled upon your name as a past contributor to the page and also noticed that you seem to work most on biographies. As such, I wondered if you'd be interested to take a look at my open request at Talk:Nate Morris. Mindful of editors' time as volunteers, I have tried to make my request simple to implement by providing a draft for editors' review. Thanks for any consideration. All the best, MS rep 4 NMorris (talk) 22:13, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk page banners
Hi, FeanorStar7, and thanks for your attention of the talk pages of women's biographies. I've noticed on a few occasions, you have deleted WP Women when you've added more specific banners. On Women in Red, we advise editors to add WP Women or WP Women's History to the talk pages of the articles they create as if there are any potential deletions, they are listed on the main pages of these projects, allowing those interested to take appropriate action. While it is certainly useful to have more specific banners, I suggest you leave those there in place.--Ipigott (talk) 11:40, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * @User talk:Ipigott, thanks for the information. In the future, I will leave the existing Women and/or Women's History tags there. Is it still ok to add more specific tags (e.g. WikiProject Women scientists) along with them?--FeanorStar7 (talk) 11:45, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Dinogad's smock
Hi FeanorStar7,

I have removed the stub tag you put on Dinogad's Smock as I've now extended the article. I've not touched the tag on the talk page as I think that is a project decision. All the best. Boynamedsue (talk) 08:14, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Orlando Goff
The Civil War letters of Orlando S Goff and his brother Charles have been passed down to me. They were written to the aunts of my grandmother and saved in a shoe box I inherited in 1988. Interestingly, their father was a carriage builder in Portland, CT. I surmise that Orlando may have been an apprentice to my great great grandfather, Silas Buck, before entering the war. Thank you for your historical contributions. Bhjk49 (talk) 14:42, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
