Can you assume nationality if no sources explicitly state it?
e.g. Cynthia Gardner; her place of birth is not known, but her career has been in the U.S. and with a national government agency. Can I put her in Category:American geologists, or do I have to tag Category:Geologists with Category:Nationality missing? BhamBoi (talk) 22:26, 27 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Similar nationality questions can be raised about hundreds of pages, but a few more geologists just for example include Terry Keith and Robert Mitchell, who both have notable careers in the United States, but I'm still unsure whether to tag them with nationality unknown because it's not known what country they are actually nationals of.

Updating "as of" in Robert Rubin article
Hi WikiProject Biography, I work for Robert Rubin and recently posted an edit request seeking to update the "as of" phrasing used to describe three ongoing affiliations of Mr. Rubin. Verification that he has been involved in each are already supported by reliable sources, but those sources are now a bit older. One of these affiliations also includes a link to Mr. Rubin's biography on that group's website, so my thought was to update the accessdate for this one and add similar links showing that Mr. Rubin is still active in the other two. I realize these will be primary sources, but they are prominant organizations and there is no reason to doubt them. I had raised this on the talk page, but no one has weighed in, so I thought I'd come here and see if there was any interest from folks in this. I'd love to hear your thoughts, here or there.

Draft article awaiting review for director/writer Misha Manson-Smith
I have a draft biography pending review for director/writer Misha Manson-Smith. It has yet to be reviewed after some weeks. Seeking feedback to progress it getting published. Intending to link it to a new article on "hybrid comedy" which is a niche but specific sub genre as performed by the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen, Nathan Fielder, Marc Wootton and Eric Andre, in which actors play fictional characters interacting with unsuspecting people in documentary like situations. Manson-Smith has directed a number of works in this field. On the help chat, I was advised to post here, along with the key citations that demonstrate notability. Links below. Any feedback would be most helpful.

I am struggling to get editor feedback here] ], where I&#39;ve outlined my concerns related to the &quot;[[Megan_Twohey#Transgender_healthcare|Transgender healthcare&quot; section. I have outlined how the section has non-neutral text, overemphasizes the amount of criticism received, and uses sources labeled as &quot;commentary&quot; or op-eds.

Deletion nomination for Category:American politicians who are the sole member of their party in statewide office
I am commenting to appeal for Keep votes on this deletion entry for Category:American politicians who are the sole member of their party in statewide office. I believe it is an extremely obvious measure of the unique identity of politicians who are incentivized to be "mavericks," as well as electoral geography and power balance. Much of the reasoning for deletion relies on the nominator's as-yet unsourced insistence that categories must permanently apply to pages, rather than be subject to current events or changes in employment, like elections. Others have simply declared this plainly unique status to be non-defining. The Delete voters have been largely unresponsive, and even when they do respond, have been argumentatively selective and engage in sophistry.

How to deal with people-lists split by subsections such as current/former/deceased
I don't ordinarily deal with biographies and people-list articles, so I thought I'd ask the good folks at WP:BIOGRAPHY for their experience on how similar articles are treated, or maybe even get some links to other similar articles so I can see how those present such categorization.

My question is how to deal with articles that have lists of people that have been separated out by statuses such as current/former/deceased. Of course trying to find a particular person in such an article means you have to scroll through 3 lists to find the one you're looking for, but is it even necessary to split people out? Who is checking to see if someone has died (so as to move the entry to the other section)?

In my case, I'm working on Scientology officials. Earlier it was a list-article, separated by the three sections current/deceased/former (example of old list-only version). It has since been made into a regular article by the addition of non-list content, and renamed to remove the "List of" part of the title, but retains the original list of people (plus some added since then). I had thought of removing the subcategories current/deceased/former and making just one alphabetical list, so I checked each entry to make sure there was sufficient information in each paragraph where a reader could easily see if the person was deceased or a former official (if we even know that information). We almost never know when someone dies or has left the employ, so I think the subsections should be removed.

Are there other similar articles in Wikipedia? Have there been other discussions about this sort of situation that I could read? Any insight would be appreciated. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 15:54, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Request for Review and Input on a New Article about Michelle Valberg
Hello, WikiProject Biography members,

I recently created a draft article about Michelle Valberg, a renowned Canadian nature and wildlife photographer known for her extensive work, especially in the Arctic regions. This article aims to highlight her career, contributions to photography, and her efforts in environmental and philanthropic activities.

As I prepare to move this draft towards a formal review, I am seeking your expertise to ensure that the article meets Wikipedia's standards for accuracy and neutrality and that it adequately covers her significant contributions to the field of photography.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or edits you could provide to help enhance this article. Here is the link to the draft: Draft:Michelle Valberg

Unassessed articles tagged with WikiProject Physics and WP Math
I just started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Physics and now realize that maybe I should have gone here, instead. Some biographical subject matter expertise is needed, since I don't understand how its supposed to work. Here's the post I put up there:
 * The physics project template counts the number of articles ranked by importance, and quality. Here: WikiProject Physics/Quality Control There are currently 700+ articles with unassesed priority (marked "???"). Clicking through, almost all of these are biographies. I suspect that no one particularly wants to tackle this, because of the unpleasantness of tagging someone's biography as "unimportant". That, plus the true difficulty of actually assigning a relative ranking -- you have to be very cross-disciplinary to be able to assess such comparisons. And that's just within physics, never mind something like "my biologist is more important than your physicist" or god help us, "our TV anchor is more notable than your physicist". Thus, I'm wondering if perhaps there might be better to avoid this issue entirely? I'm thinking of allowing the template to have an "importance=biographical" value. Or maybe there is some better way to do this? FWIW, WikiProject Mathematics has exactly this same issue with unrated articles. (I'll cross-post there shortly.)

Dragan Šolak (businessman)
Hello, I would like to seek editor input on this edit request on the Dragan Šolak (businessman) article and its Money laundering investigations section. In a discussion with another editor on the Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard I outline how the name of the section is misleading, as it could imply Šolak was investigated for money laundering, which he was not. This section is not about Dragan Šolak directly but rather a media company owned by him and its reporting into Slovenian government misconduct. AlexforUnited (talk) 06:23, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Developing Countries WikiContest
Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries.

Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.

I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content! Many people from developing countries have poorly-written biographies, and this is a great opportunity to improve those articles.

Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

Best wishes, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ( talk to me!/my edits ) 17:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Former finnish SOF soldier and serial entrepreneur Janne Lehtonen
There is a draft for the person in question (Janne Lehtonen).

Janne has served 10+ years in the finnish Navy's special operation forces. He was notably one of the first-ever operator in the unit, along side his fellow collegues of the reality TV programme Erikoisjoukot.

He is also a firefighter, paramedic and serial entrepreneur. I hope someone views this draft of notable Finnish person!

 * I've also contributed to the draft, by adding more specific information and reformated the text a bit. I think that he's notable enough, as he's literally the first SOF soldier of his country! 2001:999:705:5E4:4811:BCBE:7564:29B7 (talk) 19:58, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * As the Draft was being declined, I added more specific information from his SOF times, including where he worked, and what he has acchieved. I'd say that his career as a soldier plays more important role in the Wiki... 2001:999:705:5E4:1405:1186:D4C:AF17 (talk) 08:27, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Huge updating has been made to the draft article, according to his notability as an special forces operator, but with an upcoming book as well. All the information is referenced well enough as well!
 * Could somebody review it plz?

 * Yep, more specific information have been added for now, to make him more notable. For example, he's more specific a Sergeant of the Navy, and that he currently writes a book with WSOY, making him an author as well. There are also a bunch of references to check the information from! 85.76.86.8 (talk) 08:33, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
