Mobile software
Just FYI ......the collapsed option is disabled in mobile view/app (for accessibility reason). Thus an article like Frank Sinatra the majority 2/3 (and growing) of viewers see the box expanded. I have decided not to join talks about infoboxes or answer questions about them at the help desk.....thus why a note here....as I thought you would like to know this fact so you dont waste time trying to change them all over .....as most readers see the box any-ways Or software developers understand accessibility concerns. --Moxy (talk) 17:47, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Moxy, I received the message from the other editor to leave the Sinatra box alone. Must I do that? --George Ho (talk) 20:22, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Would be best not to edit war of course...Review the old talks on the matter and if there is a new valid point to be made it should simply be done on the talk page. That said best bet would be to leave it alone and work on content or sourcing.  This is a very odd debate that is contentions on both sides. -- Moxy (talk) 21:07, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I did, Moxy, read most of it at Talk:Noël Coward/Archive 2 and Talk:Frank Sinatra. I also read the parent page of Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes, which has not yet resulted in sanctions. Now I'm involved at Talk:Stanley Kubrick. --George Ho (talk) 21:13, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Frank Sinatra
Please desist in your disruptive behaviour on the above. It is neither wanted nor constructive. The collapsed version keeps both sides of the argument happy so I don't know why you want to shake the hornet's nest.  Cassianto Talk   20:10, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, Cassianto. I'll not touch it the infobox if you don't want me to. I'll focus on the sources instead, which might need some updating. How's that? --George Ho (talk) 20:40, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't particular care what else you do.  Cassianto Talk   20:53, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

From unknown (4 January 2017)
hello, i see that you edited the carrie fisher page. I wanted to reach out to give you the names of the fans who created the star. There were four main fans who started it and stood vigil by it for 6 days. It is actually still there even 8 days later. The fans names are jason thomas, vanessa Velez, ryan wiltberger and lavonne Dominguez. Thank you very much for all your hard work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1012:b06a:b89d:0:58:bfe4:2b01 (talk) 10:25, 4 January 2017‎ (UTC)

Debbie Reynolds...Again
Hi George, Another editor and myself seem to be disagreeing over whether the article should begin -Mary Frances "Debbie" Reynolds (DOB–DOD)....or Debbie Reynolds (born Mary Frances Reynolds; DOB–DOD)....

I'm in favor of the latter because that's how I've seen it on most actors' profiles that used names other than their birth name. No one knows them by their birth name so tucking the professional name into it seems strange to me. Any suggestions or information would be most helpful. Clarawolfe (talk) 03:32, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, Joel. Go to Talk:Debbie Reynolds and then discuss it. Okay? You can click "New section" tab there and start a newer discussion. Got it? --George Ho (talk) 05:23, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

It seems to have been a very inadequate discussion. Neither the participants nor the closing admin really understood the NFCC all that well, it seems.

If you want, list it again. If you do, make the point that the image's use outside of the article infobox would require some commentary on that image specifically in the accompanying text. There is none currently. Daniel Case (talk) 06:06, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Use of "SloKylie" and "mixKylie" as resources.
Hello! I am back after 3.5/4 years off of Wikipedia on a limited basis. I noticed on the talk page of the article Better than Today, an article that I contributed considerably to, you put up a notice about using "SloKylie" and "mixKylie" as resources. I personally do not feel like I've used either of these websites as citations to interpret the facts, rather I used mixKylie for their vast database of single/album packaging images (I'm confident I haven't used SloKylie at all. If I have let me know). Considering there were similar practices being used to cite chart positions, would you still count that as actually using the websites themselves as a source? I'm curious. I haven't messaged you to defend my stance, more so to understand your view. Thank you. (This happened in 2014. If you don't remember, it's understandable!)  I  help dןǝɥ   I  05:52, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh... Thanks for the compliment, IHelpWhenICan. However, I merely substituted the "notice" template because Template:Kylie Minogue source warning was used in just one page. I had that template nominated for deletion, while I preserved the banner's content. But thank you. --George Ho (talk) 19:11, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh... I think I created that... Well, that's funny. It was 5 years ago! What can I say! sorry for the confusion, Lol.  I  help dןǝɥ   I  20:08, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Happy Lunar New Year!
I want to thank you for commenting on RMs and also for being one of the few editors on Wikipedia with knowledge about China/Hong Kong/Taiwan related articles. One of the things I appreciate about you is that you always post important RMs/RFCs/Merge discussions on the China/Hong Kong/Taiwan WikiProjects which can potentially help to gather more input. Thank you so much for your efforts. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 15:19, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Jim Kepner
Hello again. Since you were so helpful with Timmons, I was wondering if you would be interested in adding more references to improve Jim Kepner please? I think we could do a DYK...that Jim Kepner, the founder of the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives, was expelled from the Communist Party USA because he was gay?Zigzig20s (talk) 21:30, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Zigzig20s. I can improve the article if I have time. However, I can't do something that would put me under ArbCom scrutiny again. You're welcome to give me offers if you like, but be careful. --George Ho (talk) 21:41, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

RE: File:Strangedays.jpeg
I improved the "October 13" image and kept the same resolution as before. Thanks for the new image. --Niwi3 (talk) 22:56, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
