Infobox image

Latest comment: 11:50, 7 September 2021 (VMT) by Anja_H. · open

The image in the infobox is the Archive's portrait of Anton Raffmor, the factory worker. Does anyone have a better photograph that can be used? It would need to be cleared with the Archive. — JonasWendl (talk) 21:52, 30 August 2021 (VMT)

I would leave the infobox as it is. Everything in it is cited. — brenn1968 (talk) 16:21, 3 September 2021 (VMT)

Agreed with brenn1968. — Anja_H. (talk) 11:50, 7 September 2021 (VMT)

Rewrite of the opening paragraph

I have trimmed the lead. It said Anton Raffmor was “well known”. Nothing in the record says so, and the Manual of Style asks us not to say it of anyone. — Susanne_R. (talk) 10:09, 23 May 2022 (VMT)

Support a light copyedit. Please do not add adjectives; the last attempt added “distinguished” and it took a month to remove. — JonasWendl (talk) 21:38, 24 May 2022 (VMT)

Done, I think. The lead now has two sentences, which is one more than the record strictly supports. — brenn1968 (talk) 16:07, 25 May 2022 (VMT)

Recategorisation

The categories at the foot of this article were added by several editors over several years and it shows. Could someone tidy them? — mathilde.ebner (talk) 15:26, 9 November 2024 (VMT)

Categories go to the most specific place that applies. I have applied the guideline and changed very little. — Susanne_R. (talk) 10:55, 11 November 2024 (VMT)

Agreed. — JonasWendl (talk) 21:24, 13 November 2024 (VMT)

Done. — brenn1968 (talk) 16:53, 15 November 2024 (VMT)

Dates

Latest comment: 21:10, 11 August 2025 (VMT) by JonasWendl · open

The infobox gives 8 August 1853 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? — Lamm_I (talk) 20:43, 2 August 2025 (VMT)

The date is the date. There is nothing to annotate. — mathilde.ebner (talk) 15:12, 5 August 2025 (VMT)

Agreed. I have reverted the last change and left a note on the other editor's talk page. — Susanne_R. (talk) 10:41, 8 August 2025 (VMT)

Noted, and agreed. — JonasWendl (talk) 21:10, 11 August 2025 (VMT)
