Points of View


Wikipedia:Nationality of people from the United Kingdom; British nationality 2007-2008 talk

Agree with User:Matt Lewis and User:Breadandcheese that no guideline is wanted.
Prefer no nationality adjective to appear in lead or infobox at all.
Show legal citizenship(s), when sourced, in the infobox's "Nationality" field.
Prefer no ethnicity description to appear in the lead or infobox at all.
When sourced and notable, discuss nationalities and ethnicities (note plural) in a relevant section.
Accept a nationality adjective that is well-sourced, not synthesized. Good sources would be printed dictionaries, biographies and encyclopedia.
Walk away despairingly at attempts to force ethnicity labels in the lead, infobox and categories.

No original biographies
Sighted versions

References don't increase Wikipedia's reliability
User:Piotrus/Morsels of wikiwisdom

My half-baked opinions on the RFC "In principle, do you think that WP:NOT should include a section on plot summaries?"

  • such RFCs need actual examples
  • question is badly framed
  • agree that some form of plot guideline is needed
  • agree that reliably sourced plot-only articles can meet WP:V, and are acceptable, and could also be usefully merged (or remain as "grow-me" stubs, I'm on the fence here)
  • not necessary for an article on fiction to contain a plot summary! See real encyclopedia
  • not necessary for an article on fiction to contain only analysis! See real encyclopedia again
