Infobox person

Per Template:Infobox person, If subject has only one notable mother and/or only one notable father, mother and father parameters may be used instead. It is therefore appropriate to use these parameters instead of the "parents" parameter. Thanks. Rowing007 (talk) 14:56, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@Rowing007: Sorry for the late reply.
I disagree. Greta Thunberg's parents are both notable so the "parents" parameter should be used instead. --Thedarkknightli (talk) 23:04, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Cool, well you're disagreeing with the template itself, because the example given on the template page is of Bill Gates, and it uses the "mother" and "father" parameters. Both of his parents are notable and have their own pages. And again, per the quoted passage from the template's page in my original message, there's nothing wrong with using mother and father parameters. If anything, it increases clarity, because it adds "(mother)" and "(father)", which may not always be obvious from the names alone, depending on nationality of the reader and of the subject.

@SNUGGUMS: Could you please check this? Thanks! --Thedarkknightli (talk) 00:47, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Not sure why you pinged me of all users, but I personally would always opt for the "parents" field over individual mom and dad parameters. It takes up less infobox space and there's no need for parentheticals when we've already established each person is a parent of someone. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:37, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Q

What is your reason for reverting this edit? The comma after 'Iran' in this sentence was redundant and unnecessary, and should have been removed. -- Hamid Hassani (talk) 19:50, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi. Could you please explain it to me? My English isn't that good. Regards, Thedarkknightli (talk) 20:36, 25 March 2023 (UTC).
Hi. Ok. That was not a serial comma or 'a pair of commas' (..., ...,) for example like these serial commas in red color: I have been to Beijing, the capital of China, two times. Please check the examples and description(s) here at MOS:Comma. Regards, Hamid Hassani (talk) 21:17, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Got it. Sorry for being both ignorant and impetuous. Thedarkknightli (talk) 10:53, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
No problem. Good luck! :) -- Hamid Hassani (talk) 22:31, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Handbook

We agree the article can be a mess. I'd like you to look up and find when reporters use the word following at the beginning of a sentence. How about never? They also never use a comma and the word in followed by a year at the end of a sentence. You may think you are following a manual of style; assuredly you are not. I propose we try to fix the Reeves article and stop reverting in a wholesale fashion. Infactinteresting (talk) 09:21, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

@Infactinteresting: You've reduced the article's readability instead of improving it. It doesn't matter how reporters write cuz this isn't a news report. Please self-revert. Thedarkknightli (talk) 11:59, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
You're nonsensical. I obviously will have to get intervention.Infactinteresting (talk) 03:41, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urgeback (talkcontribs) 10:26, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
