GooglerW, you are invited to the Teahouse!
editHi GooglerW! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Come join other new editors at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a space where new editors can get help from other new editors. These editors have also just begun editing Wikipedia; they may have had similar experiences as you. Come share your experiences, ask questions, and get advice from your peers. I hope to see you there! I JethroBT (I'm a Teahouse host) This message was delivered automatically by your robot friend, HostBot (talk) 16:12, 5 August 2014 (UTC) |
Thomas Peirson Frank
editWhatever may be customary elsewhere is not customary here. See WP:FULLNAME - "While the article title should generally be the name by which the subject is most commonly known, the subject's full name, if known, should be given in the lead sentence (including middle names, if known, or middle initials)." There is no mention of parentheses, and I've not seen them used in other articles - the parentheses were not part of his full name. In this instance, the correct course of action is to remove the parentheses, and move the article to Peirson Frank, per WP:COMMONNAME. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:51, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
See also
editHi, I think "See also" is intended as a section heading for wikilinks, whereas "Further reading" would be best for external sources.----Pontificalibus 12:25, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Redirects please
editHallo, When you add a new version of someone's name, as you did for Andrew Lownie, please make a redirect from that and any other plausible variations. It helps readers who search on that version of the name, helps make it less likely that a careless future editor will make a duplicate article, and sometimes turns existing red links blue (eg when someone is already listed in a "List of award-winners" article under their full name with all the multiple given names they never normally use!). I've made a redirect from Andrew James Hamilton Lownie. (I don't think it's probably worth creating Andrew James Lownie or Andrew Hamilton Lownie unless there's any evidence of him ever having been known by one of them.) Thanks.

John Rutter link
editI put a dead link tag on the coronation reference, because I get a dead link (returns 410). I don't know how to indicate that the link is only dead for some people. Imaginatorium (talk) 12:09, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
