editHello, I'm Arthur Rubin. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to 2018 have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Your additions to 2018#Deaths might be included, if placed in the correct area. You're welcome to reinsert them if you:
- Place them in the death date, not the birth date
- Make some attempt to format the entries so that they fit in (see WP:WikiProject Years for the format), and optionally alphabetize them
- Spell the names correctly

I appreciate that you want to add long-lived people to the articles for their birth and death years. Although I do not feel most of them have sufficient world-wide significance to belong in those articles, I have been overriden. However, you must properly add them to the articles, as I noted above.
Specifically, if there is only one entry at the specified date, you list him/her as
If more than one at the the date, you list them as
where the names are in alphabetical order by surname (whether the surname appears first, as in many oriental cultures, or last, as in most Western cultures). I should have edited you entries to fit in the correct format in 2018, but there were too many. If you place (in the article talk page, Talk:2018), a list in the form
I am willing to insert them in the article, provided the information is correct. If you make too many mistakes of fact, I'm not willing to fix them for you. Each of your edits in the 1910s had at least one error; your edit to 1908 seems acceptable.
Alternatively, for the first few edits, you may place the list on my talk page, and I'll work out where to put them. I am not willing to do this indefinitely, especially if you make too many mistakes. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:47, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi Arthur if you see this do you think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsha_Hunt_(actress,_born_1917) deserves to be the 1917 Birth page?? ThatBaileyLad (talk) 02:26, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

So I started a discussion on the talk page and I wondering If we could share your opinion. Matt Campbell (talk) 16:10, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Year in Country vs Year
editPutting country-orgin of a person, into the YEAR IN COUNTRY articles (unless they're foreign born), is pointless. We only need to do that for the YEAR articles. GoodDay (talk) 10:17, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
