Anti-Infobox fetish
Unhelpful discussion |
---|
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
Some people, like me, read slower and we really like the summary information at a glance provided by the Infobox. It offers superior functionality under certain circumstances that are quite common. The arguments against the Infobox, here and elsewhere, are made by editors who simply have their own style preference (it's a fetish, really) against the Infobox, and those editors have successfully gamed the Wikipedia governance system to get their way. This is too bad, because as a reader, I find the Infobox to be very helpful. 73.73.162.232 (talk) 02:35, 26 February 2016 (UTC) A question for Schro and Cass (below): have you ever recommended in favor of including an Infobox in any Wiki article? 73.73.162.232 (talk) 02:59, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
No, troll. The consensus of the community was not to have one. To answer your earlier pointy question, yes, I have argued in favour of an IB (obviously). I've also added IBs to several articles, created articles with IBs. and taken articles with IBs to both GA and FA. Troll away elsewhere with your misguided questions, your insults and your inability to consider that other people may have a valid opinion that may differ from yours. – SchroCat (talk) 21:47, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Children? Personal life in general?
There is relatively nothing about his personal life/views, although he lived in a rather turbulent century and the article is quite long. And one-sided, indeed, I am not sure his children are even mentioned for instance, pretty weird IMHO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.98.43.15 (talk) 02:12, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

How old?

"Sir Prefix"
Olivier was knighted in 1947, and, as is customary with people that have received Knighthoods, his name should be prefixed with a "Sir". That this has only just been added to his Wikipedia page is something of an oversight.
Examples of other knighted English actors' Wikis with first line including "Sir":
And of course his two contemporaries that this Wiki specifically puts focus on:

- You miss the point that while Olivier was "Sir Lawrence" for some of his life, he was also "Lord Olivier", which is why the Sir is omitted here. (Just a note for the future, could you add talk new page threads to the bottom of the page? Thank you) - SchroCat (talk) 07:45, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- Ok that makes sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 0521Steven (talk • contribs) 07:54, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- The title 'Lord' outranks the title 'Sir' so they should never be both used. It's like calling someone in the Army General-Captain-Lieutenant -- SteveCrook (talk) 11:08, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
