Epm98f ( talk) 19:24, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Why is the ultimate impact of her scientific findings not stated in the article? It doesn't go into any more depth than besides saying it's for diabetes. I also think the first paragraph should be restructured to mention what she is most known for, which is her work with Vandium. Her current job at Colorado State is not what she is known for.

Tycho Brahe, an article that you or your project may be interested in, has been nominated for an individual good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. More details are available on the re-assessment page. Please ping me if you need anything as my watchlist is already quite large and I'd prefer not to add seven or eight more wikiprojects to my watchlist on top of the ones that I already have.

Hello, Wikipedians! I'm hoping editors experienced editing biography articles can review a discussion on the Walmart CEO Doug McMillon Talk page.
A brief history: This article was badly outdated so I, as one of Walmart's representatives on Wikipedia, prepared a new draft and posted an
edit request in March. Editor
Checkingfax implemented my proposed draft the next month. In August, editor
HighKing posted an {{autobiography}}
tag atop the article. On the
Talk page, HighKing wrote that the article contains "too much detail that has nothing to do with the reason Doug is notable".
While I disagree and believe the information is important to Mr. McMillon's role with Walmart, it is also my understanding that Wikipedia's notability guidelines are for whether a person or topic qualifies for a Wikipedia article, whereas the content of an article is governed by other policies, such as Neutral point of view, Verifiability, No original research, What Wikipedia is not, and Biographies of living persons.
I would appreciate another view on this. I'm happy to answer any questions. Thanks, JLD at Walmart ( talk) 21:46, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
I was wondering if someone from this WP:BIOG would mind taking a look at Sarah Tiana. I've been trying off and on to find better sourcing for the article, but haven't had much luck.

Any suggestion or other feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 02:17, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

![]() Hello, |
There is a move request on the Murder of JonBenét Ramsey page to move it to Death of JonBennét Ramsey. Another suggestion is to simplify it to her name, making it JonBenét Ramsey, which was the article name until November 2012.
Would you mind weighing on the discussion at Talk:Murder of JonBenét Ramsey#Requested move 20 September 2016 regarding this and any standard that this project may have for naming articles when someone has been murdered or died?

The following list is full of more sources on Lottie "the body" Graves that I deemed useful for this article.
1. Jones, Tiffani. "Secret History of The Black Pinup: Lottie "The Body" Graves." Coffee Rhetoric:. N.p., n.d. Web. 16 Oct. 2016.
This source recounts Lottie “the body” Graves upbringing and her history as a burlesque dancer. It talks about how the notable black burlesque/ vaudeville dancer danced in white clubs at the peak of segregation. It even goes as far as her mingling with Aretha Franklin and famed others.
2. Klein, Sarah. "Paradise Regained." Detroit Metro Times. Metro Times, 03 Aug. 2005. Web. 16 Oct. 2016.
This source notes Lottie “ The Body” as the muse behind the pink poodle, and friends with notables like Billy Holiday and Fidel Castro. She’s noted in this source as Detroit's Gypsy Rose Lee.
3. Doherty, Serena. "This Is How You Burlesque." Burlexe. Burlexe, 30 May 2016. Web. 16 Oct. 2016.
This source let’s us know where Lottie was born and the age she began her Burlesque career. It also takes snippets of quotes from authors who wrote on Lottie.
4. "Legend: Lottie the Body." Red Hots Burlesque. Red Hots Burlesque, n.d. Web. 16 Oct. 2016.
This story talks about how Lottie could’ve been the inspiration for “Brick House” by the commodores. It also reiterates the same information found in other sources.
5. "Lottie 'The Body' Graves | Wikiwand." Wikiwand. N.p., n.d. Web. 17 Oct. 2016.
This source had no more useful information.
6.Clements, David. "LOTTIE THE BODY - "Built like Two Stacks of Pancakes": There Is a Lot of Lottie Online." Detroit Dissolving::. N.p., 13 Oct. 2015. Web. 17 Oct. 2016.
This source gives a view on Lottie Graves’ life currently.
The consensus in this RfC is that in biographies editors prefer prose format over a timeline section. Cunard ( talk) 23:13, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
I am being told that timeline sections are not allowed in biographies, does anyone know what !Wikilaw is being cited? Another editor added this to the timeline section, a tiny part of the article:
{{
prose|section|date=September 2016}}
The other editor wrote: "Timelines are allowed for year, century, decade, etc articles; biographies are appropriately presented as prose." Anyone have thoughts? --

There are some problems with this article, I think. For instance the awards section. Do any of the awards there deserve mention, and is there a guideline or something about that? Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 11:06, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
Someone started an AfD discussion for a certain webcomic because the majority of its sources are based on a single event that has been described as a 'mental breakdown', and because its author requested the article to be deleted. I think there is consensus to keep the article in place, as there are multiple sources for the work or its author not about the specific incident, but now there is a question for how to deal with the situation. I hope someone could have a look at the discussion. I recommend reading from
Comment This is the author of "Pictures for Sad Children."

The BLP on Élizabeth Teissier has an UNDUE tag. She is an astrologer and former model and actress and author. She was given a PhD for a thesis which defended astrology, causing a substantial controversy – and which is a substantial fraction of available sources – and she also unsuccessfully sued the WMF over her BLP on the French WP. I have been working on the article and seek input on balance and undue issues. Please have a look and comment. Thanks. EdChem ( talk) 00:14, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
User:Drmies has removed the "works" section from Jacques Follorou twice, with an edit summary suggesting that it makes the article look like a "resume". No, it does not. It is perfectly normal to add a list of works/books published by a journalist/author. We are not in the habit of actively removing information because we don't like it. Has anyone seen this behaviour before and what can we do about this please? This is the very first time I have seen this in ten years. The books had ISBN and OCLC. Zigzig20s ( talk) 02:47, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
The list of eight books looks fine. The issue is the lack of prose in the article. It really needs a paragraph or two talking about who this person is or why they are notable. I understand that the list of works, as the article is now, makes the whole thing a bit unbalanced. We could temporarily move the list of works to the talk page until a bit more prose has been added to the article? ~ Mable ( chat) 12:24, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello. There is currently a discussion taking place at the above article regarding whether or not to include a section about the Trump tapes and Liberty University students' reactions to it. Given how few people have watchlisted the page, I thought it best to notify relevant WikiProjects of the discussion, especially because Falwell is a very politically-involved figure at the moment. I believe that this notification is as neutrally-worded as possible and that it does not violate the canvassing policy. — Gestrid ( talk) 22:11, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

In retrospect, it seems a bit surprising that we didn't already have an article on Mark Welser, but we didn't. I translated it from the Italian version. I don't do a lot of bios, so the experts here might want to take a look.
Also, the Italian version was not interlanged to the German version (it is now, but wasn't when I started), so someone might want to take a look at the German article and see if there's anything to import. -- Trovatore ( talk) 00:53, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
There has been a recent edit to add content to the Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations article regarding sex parties for girls as young as 15 and involving drugs. [1] [2] [3] The content of the alleged sexual misconduct is in this edit; It is currently commented out to investigate a dispute about this issue.
References
It is not widely reported at this time. The journalistic press that appears to be reporting on this at this very moment are New York Daily News, New York Post, Toronto Sun, NEWS.com.au, Times of Israel, and perhaps more sources per this query. I am not sure how many of these sources you would consider reliable sources for this content. Searches conducted just on his name at news.google.com at this very moment do not result in any stories about this issue until the fourth page, per this search.
There is an open RfC regarding whether or not to include content about a rape of a 13-year-old girl in 1994. Based on responses to that discussion in the RfC: Jane Doe content section of the talk page - I think it would be a fair assumption that since it is covered in several mainstream news sources, some editors would likely believe it should be covered in the article, per WP:V, WP:RS and WP:NOTCENSORED.
Oversimplifying the extremes, those who think that an exceptional claim like this requires a major development in a case or more widespread coverage have cited WP:EXCEPTIONAL and WP:BALASP guidelines. And the applicable policies seem to include WP:WELLKNOWN for Donald Trump. Due to the fact that this is a breaking story, these may apply as well, WP:NOT#NEWS, with There is no deadline and WP:RECENTISM.
There is a posted discussion at Underage Sex and Drug Parties.
Would you help us understand which of the policies and guidelines are most applicable in this situation and how that affects whether it should or should not be included in the article? And, if so characterization of the content, are there any criminal charges or terms that should or should not be used? That would help a lot!-- CaroleHenson (talk) 06:35, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Brad Allen is a rather short BLP about an NFL referee. I had some doubts about notability and attached a tag to that effect on 19 April of 2015. It was subsequently removed a few days later with an edit summary simply stating that Allen was notable with no further explanation or rational. In any event the article fell off my radar but I recently stumbled back on it and I am still not seeing a strong claim to WP:N. A Google yielded a number of hits but most of the coverage appeared to be of the trivial/run of the mill variety; i.e. announcements that he will be or has refereed a certain game or that he spoke at a dinner etc. Maybe this collectively adds up to WP:N, but I am ambivalent. WP:NSPORT makes no provision for referee or umpires and OUTCOMES doesn't touch on this at all. This pretty much leaves us with WP:BASIC and I'm just not sure Allen rings that particular bell. So here I am asking for some other editors to take a look and let me know what you think. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 19:55, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

It points to the WiR set of circa 300 lists of 100,000+ women identified as requiring biographies on wikipedia. I've also added a sentence to the project scope which gives stats (which can be updated weekly from the indicated source) on the proportion of women to men biographies on Wikipedia ( diff), which according to WHGI amounts to 16.75%, being 238,922 of our 1,426,191 biographies women.

I have linked one hundred and thirty five names of delegates in the Chart of Delegates to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1850. To my delight, many of the blue links are to Virginia politicians of the nineteenth century, especially those who also served in Congress at some point in their careers. To my dismay, there are several links to bios of modern personalities. The bot has not yet notified my Talk page of names requiring disambiguation. I feel challenged to create stub bios for the omitted Virginian politicians of the nineteenth century linked in red.
My intent is to either contribute to or to establish biographical stubs for the Virginians for perhaps one hundred names with thumb nail sketches in Pulliam’s account of the Conventions of 1850, as well as using his treatment of the members of the Conventions of 1776, 1788, 1830 and 1868, then Brenaman for the 1902 Convention.

[ [3]]
I have had many problems in past with this article, but the most recent problem is that the article fails to mention the Crown Heights riots, even if but to mention that Schneerson's motorcade was involved. Again my source, and my justification, for adding this to Schneerson's article is that the New York Times obituary [4], and every retrospective article I found on the riots, mentions Schneerson. When I add any mention there is a team of editors that raises extraneous and false claims. I would urge authors interested in this area to help edit some entry in this article that does justice to the link.
My entry, which I thought was the least controversial, although entered in the controversy section (should it have its own section or his legacy?) stated:
The Crown Heights disturbances in August 19, 1991, which became a central issue in a New York City mayoral race, were set off when a car in Rabbi Schneerson's motorcade went out of control and killed a 7-year-old black child. In the days that followed, a riot erupted in the neighborhood, reflecting existing tensions between Jewish and black residents. Two men, one of them a young Lubavitch adherent, were killed during the riots. A grand jury found no reason bring charges against anyone in the motorcade. [1] [2]
I could live with a shorter version. My quibble is that an article on Schneerson should include the words: motorcade of ... Schneerson and Crown Heights riot in the same paragraph. I could use help from editors providing some reasonable framework with how to proceed. Again in reading obituaries and histories about the events, I feel the sources substantiate some link of the events to his biography. I wanted to do so without entering into the controversies of who started what or said what. That can be left to the articles on the riot itself of the murder of Rosenbaum etc. But to eliminate Schneerson from the picture altogether is not historically correct.

John B. Clopton (jurist) and Chapman Johnson, that I created directly, are tagged as a “new unreviewed article…if necessary the page should be appropriately tagged for cleanup.” Samuel Taylor (Virginian), that I created with the wizard does not, and was classified by the reviewer as a Start-class article. When I created Philip N. Nicholas, the editor who moved the New article into mainspace did not so tag the article.
I propose creating articles for delegates to Virginia Constitutional Conventions of 1776, 1788, 1830, 1850, 1861 Richmond, 1861 Wheeling, 1864, 1868 and 1902. Most can be had from reliable resources by Pulliam and Brenaman. I try to add from online sources by a google search on the name, that sometimes gives me additional information from library index bios and I search for additional snippets in books.
Should I just remove the “new unreviewed article” tag when an editor moves it into mainspace? Until this tag, I understood that any registered editor could advance an article from a stub to B class. TheVirginiaHistorian ( talk) 15:14, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to trade an objective GA review of an article of your choice, or some copyediting, article improvement, or other work, in return for an unbiased GA review of Tony Ahn. I can't promise your article will pass GA review but I can promise it will be fairly reviewed with suggestions given if it doesn't pass. I expect the same for the GA review of Tony Ahn. Please let me know if you're interested. ScooterSponson ( talk) 04:04, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
