editWhy you removing birthdate from the early life section? What's wrong with having DoB in the body sections? --Saqib (talk) 15:54, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- It's just randomly put there. It's out of place when it's already in two other places. Check other biographies, it's not there. BoogieWithStu (talk) 15:56, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- You need to follow WP:MOSBIO which states
Birth and death places, if known, should be mentioned in the body of the article, and can appear in the lead.
--Saqib (talk) 15:59, 17 September 2018 (UTC)- Fine, dude. Whatever. For such a short section (and article), it looks dumb to repeat it there, too. Do what you want. BoogieWithStu (talk) 16:02, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is a work in progress. I believe the section will be expand with time. --Saqib (talk) 16:04, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Simple cite method
editHi. By consensus, the Deaths in 2018 page (and all other deaths pages from way back) only uses a simple cite format. This is in order to reduce the amount of page coding employed and thus aid page-loading times. Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 20:02, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. After I got reverted and redirected to the talk page, I saw the FAQ. BoogieWithStu (talk) 20:40, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

editHi, another user has reported you to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents - the relevant section is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Slander on Page. Since they have not notified you, I'm doing it for them, which does not mean I endorse their report. --bonadea contributions talk 08:08, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- Good. I'm glad some more users have now looked at that article. BoogieWithStu (talk) 16:08, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
