[edit]- 2006 - The River Thames whale, became loved by public after becoming stranded.
I don't love the River Thames whale... perhaps something a little more neutral should be written. -- Chuck Norris
- Hmmm, how about, "Received affection from the public"? Jamandell (d69) 02:04, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Births and Deaths
[edit]Was Stonewall Jackson an American general? He was American by birth, but he became a general only in the Confederate army? 76.99.71.45 (talk) 16:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
In accordance with the guidelines, I've started weeding the Births and Deaths sections by removing entries for celebrities with 0-4 articles in other languages. Where possible, these have been transferred to the relevant Year in Topic articles. As well as making the lists more manageable, this will help with the globalization effort.Deb (talk) 15:18, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Deb: I don't know what guidelines you are talking about, but it will be better if instead of removing the entries, you would just divide them into various subsections as we have in Johnson for example.--Biografer (talk) 03:47, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- I don't understand what you're suggesting. But see some of the many discussions on the project talk pages, e.g. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Days of the year and Wikipedia:Days_of_the_year. Adding anything without a reference is also now outlawed. Deb (talk) 08:57, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Deb: What I am saying is that instead of removing them we can organize them (i.e. Politicians (and list all the politicians that were born on January 21 there). As for references, lists are refless, as far as I can see (at least the date and surname ones).--Biografer (talk) 18:07, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- You mean instead of listing them in chronological order as they are now? I don't see much benefit in that. And yes, you're correct in saying most of them are without references. Deb (talk) 18:37, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Deb: I don't see much benefit of removing those that have 0-4 entries in other languages either. For example, I removed some of the folks that had 0-4 articles in births, the list is still too long.--Biografer (talk) 19:38, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
