birth date death date template

until the author of the new templates better explains his/her templates in the documentation of said templates, i believe the reference to using his/her should be removed. as his template is to confusing to use. --[[User:Jeanenawhitney|pete]] (talk) 21:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pete, the documents are voluminous: Template:Birth-date and age/doc. Can you give further information on what the difficulty is? The docs on the templates have ample examples, and there is nothing to know about the syntax of the dates, they are just dates. EG: {{birth-date|November 2, 1955}}. What is confusing about that? -J JMesserly (talk) 23:42, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Preceded and Succeeded have no encyclopedic meaning

Preceded and succeeded imply some connection between the article topic and other articles. In fact, they may never have known one another or had any professional association. Someone doing an action before or after someone else does not imply an encyclopedic relationship. It's not a contest where one girl displaces another.

Since I don't feel this can wait for months for an individual editor or two to express opinions that might eventually take years to resolve, I'm electing to modify the template to promote discussion. Thanks, Piano non troppo (talk) 21:09, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point out more infoboxes where the person is in a series of people in that position where the preceding office holder, etc and the succeeding office holder, etc is not pointed out? Dismas|^(talk) 19:41, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
