John Wightman
No problem with the John Wightman article now. However, when I checked my watchlist, I saw that an IP editor had added a purported death date, with no citation. I checked Google News, and searched the Lexington Clipper-Herald and Omaha World-Herald websites, and found nothing. I checked the IP address's contribution history, which showed no history of productive edits, and was brief enough to suggest that an attempt to reach the editor via the talk page would be bootless. In light of all this, I deemed it advisable to revert the death-date insertion and the other edits that grew out of that. — Ammodramus (talk) 03:53, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Aaron S. Williams
I have a potential conflict of interest with former Peace Corps director Aaron S. Williams, whose current article is pretty bare. I noticed you created the article on his successor Carrie Hessler-Radelet. The article seems to rely mostly on whitehouse.gov sources, which I understand is considered acceptable for certain government officials? I have a lot of experience authoring BLPs, but never with government sources or on government officials and wondering about sources like this. Any guidance you are willing to offer would be appreciated. CorporateM (Talk) 15:05, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Conti
I can't remember who the other cases are, but I've run into a few "retirements" were actually senior judges becoming inactive. When FJC doesn't list something, I assume they're right. But for what it's worth, this doesn't show him retired. There isn't anything updated since 2014, so it's possible they simply never got around to updating it, but Conti's possible retirement is the only event that's happened since then.

Wrong Ramirez
It was Elkin Ramírez who died, not Elvin Ramírez. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:00, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oops, my bad. Thanks for the clarification. Snickers2686 (talk) 04:03, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Tomairangi Paki
Hello Snickers2686. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Tomairangi Paki, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''member of a notable (royal) family. Per WP:ATD-M, non-notable members should be merged instead.''' Thank you.  So Why  07:06, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Zoltan Sarosy
Okay, so my edits were reverted because of an older discussion....is this wide spread knowledge? There are plenty of articles regarding supercentarians that I've seen that still use the years and days format, so for uniformity, that's why I kept it that way. So either a lot of pages have to be changed or one minor change should be made to maintain stability amongst the different articles. Articles in question include: amongst others....
 * Violet Brown
 * Yisrael Kristal
 * Nabi Tajima
 * Richard Arvine Overton

So which is the correct and widely accepted age format? Just for future reference. Snickers2686 (talk) 02:39, 17 April 20


 * All of those people qualify for the for the age format of years and days because they are notable for longevity reasons only. Zoltan Sarosy, Shivakumara Swami etc. are notable for reasons other than longevity and do not qualify for this format while they are alive. Did you read the discussion?  Are you still confused?TFBCT1 03:46, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Declined A1
Hi Snickers. I declined your CSD at Causeway Heights and just quickly wanted to explain why. A1 is for when you have absolutely no way of knowing what the article subject is. Causeway Heights, however, identified the subject as a location in part of a battle. Now, whether we should have an article on this is entirely debatable, and frankly you should probably just redirect it back to Charge of the Light Brigade, but the subject is stated clearly so A1 didn't apply.
