Infobox image
The infobox has more rows than the article has sentences. Could we trim it? — AnselBauer (talk) 20:49, 11 January 2020 (VMT)
Leave it. An image of record is better than a better image. — thomas.brenn (talk) 15:18, 14 January 2020 (VMT)
@thomas.brenn Agreed. I have added a caption and changed nothing else. — KlausPfeil (talk) 10:47, 17 January 2020 (VMT)
Dates in the infobox
The infobox gives 17 May 1811 as the date of birth. So does the register. An editor has twice changed it to another date without giving a source, and I have twice changed it back. Is there something I am missing? — Roland_M. (talk) 09:06, 21 January 2021 (VMT)
Day, month, year, in words, as the record gives it. The Manual of Style is clear on this. — AnselBauer (talk) 20:35, 25 January 2021 (VMT)
Then leave it. I have asked for the infobox field to be protected, which I understand is not a thing that can be done to a single field. — thomas.brenn (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2021 (VMT)
Noted, and agreed. — KlausPfeil (talk) 10:33, 2 February 2021 (VMT)
Category tidy-up
Should this article also be in the category for The Ostrand, as well as the one for Weinwick? — kasper.hallin (talk) 14:23, 29 September 2022 (VMT)
Thanks, that makes sense. — AnselBauer (talk) 20:21, 1 October 2022 (VMT)
Thanks, all. — thomas.brenn (talk) 15:50, 2 October 2022 (VMT)
Rewrite of the opening paragraph
The lead gives the place and the year and nothing else. The Manual of Style asks the lead to summarise the article. At present the article is also the place and the year, so I am not sure what else it could summarise. — Hoffick_M (talk) 19:40, 17 June 2025 (VMT)
Support a light copyedit. Please do not add adjectives; the last attempt added “distinguished” and it took a month to remove. — kasper.hallin (talk) 14:09, 19 June 2025 (VMT)
