Article title for Angela Brown

I'm not sure that Angela Brown (Sister) is correct. If the parenthetical word is a description (per WP:PARENDIS) rather than a title, it should probably be "nun", rather than "sister". I note that Category:Sisters of Mercy includes Caritas Lawrence (Mercy Sister), but I'm not sure that it is correct. (It's not necessary in that case; there is no Caritas Lawrence article.)

either or what ever your comfortable with, the critical issue will be once done it'll be getting a QR code so its to be one that will be stable as page moving will become costly Gnangarra 14:00, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

I propose Angela Brown (nun) Angela Browne (nun). Note that the contents of Wikipedia:WikiTown/Toodyaypedia/stage II worksheet/Angela Brown (Sister) consistently spell the surname with an 'e', so I presume that is correct. (It's also consistent with this ref.) Given the importance of getting it correct for the QR code, it's probably worth getting the opinions of a couple of other editors also.

spelling probably came from my error in transcribing the early list, would go with what the article content is, be WP:BOLD Gnangarra 01:03, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Article title - Charles Harper (Reverend)

Following the same reasoning as #Article title for Angela Brown, Charles Harper (Reverend) should be Charles Harper (minister) or Charles Harper (priest). Not being familiar with the Anglican terminology, I don't know off the top of my head whether minister or priest is correct. Category:Australian Anglican priests, for example, includes (where explicitly in the article title) 1 minister, 4 priests, 1 chaplain and 1 clergyman (plus others that I know are not the same as priests). Minister (Christianity)#Anglican suggests either priest or deacon, they being the ones who are called "Reverend". The text of Wikipedia:WikiTown/Toodyaypedia/stage II worksheet/Charles Harper (Reverend) itself doesn't use either term! Mitch Ames (talk) 11:51, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

If we were to use WP:Commonname he's known as Reverend Charles Harper, while WP doesnt put such titles in articles names. Both priest & minister would be obscure and an unlikely search option making Reverend the best dab option. Gnangarra 01:08, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

I'd have the article titled Charles Harper (priest) (if he actually was a priest, else deacon or minister as appropriate), perhaps with an entry like this on the Charles Harper disambiguation page:

• Reverend Charles Harper (priest) (1799 - 1872), Anglican priest at Toodyay, Western Australia

- but only if you really thought it was important to include the "Reverend". We don't appear to include the honorific generally even on DAB pages, so I'd be reluctant to do it. This:

• Charles Harper (priest) (1799 - 1872), Anglican priest at Toodyay, Western Australia

would be sufficient to identify him to anyone looking.

As always, opinions from other editors are invited. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:18, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

I've gone with Charles Harper (minister), because "minister" is the only term that the references and the article use consistently. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:23, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Article title - Joseph Strelley Harris

Is it Strelley or Strelly? The article title does not match the text, and the online references at Joseph Strelly Harris are not consistent. Mitch Ames (talk) 07:43, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

• Definitely Strelley WA Public Service list, his fathers East Perth Cemetery records, baptism records and it is the spelling of his mothers maiden name.... Gnangarra 03:38, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Alfred Durlacher

@Gnangarra: - I've finished Wikipedia:WikiTown/Toodyaypedia/stage II worksheet/Alfred Durlacher, but I can't just move it to article space because there's already a stub article.

• There's no need to merge the articles - the information in the stub is included in the worksheet article.
• We could probably just copy the text from the worksheet article to the existing article-space page. Do we care about the history of the worksheet article?
• Both pages have talk pages attached. Wikipedia talk:WikiTown/Toodyaypedia/stage II worksheet/Alfred Durlacher includes two outstanding issues. Talk:Alfred Durlacher has easily reproducible contents and a trivial history.

Doris Durlacher?

According to the wording of Robyn Taylor's draft, and this reference, Miriam Dorothy Durlacher was more commonly known as Doris Durlacher. Should the article title be Doris Durlacher, in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME? Mitch Ames (talk) 13:31, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

yes if the common name Gnangarra 07:38, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
