Question from Jennyshort12 (17:50, 26 May 2024)[edit]
Hello, I have edited the names of the children of Justice Emile Francis Short and someone keeps removing our names. I am his youngest daughter. Please advice. thank you. --Jennyshort12 (talk) 17:50, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Jennyshort12! Welcome to Wikipedia. The reason the names were removed is because of WP:BLPNAME, which says that we have to remove the names of non-notable family members unless a reliable source is provided. Here’s some information about that.
- Also, since you’re his daughter, I wouldn’t recommend editing his article directly because of the conflict of interest. What I would do is disclose that you have a connection to him on your user page (link to the template), and then make edit requests on Talk:Emile Short. ◇HelenDegenerate◆ 20:45, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, thanks for answering. names of non-notable family members unless a reliable source is provided.
- what reliable source are they looking for? birth certificate? Children are not non-notable family members. 194.230.148.119 (talk) 20:50, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- @194.230.148.119 A good source for names would be one that isn’t affiliated with the subject. Birth certificates are primary sources, so they can’t be cited in this instance. If a news article covers you and mentions your name, that would be preferable.
- By the way, what I mean by ‘non-notable’ family members is based on Wikipedia’s definition of notability: someone is usually notable if they have
significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
Children are absolutely notable within a family, but not necessarily notable by Wikipedia’s definition. ◇HelenDegenerate◆ 17:21, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Kenneth R Sloan (17:08, 16 June 2024)[edit]
I am a Computer Science PhD, now Emeritus. I now collaborate with many Ophthalmologists and vision scientists (I build tools they find useful) - most specificially with my wife, Christine Curcio. She is an anatomist/pathologist/neuroscientist working on Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and is considered a world authority on AMD and the anatomy of the human retina.
My primary goal at the moment is to create (and then slowly amplify) a Wiki page about her. I am interested in examples of similar Wiki pages, and guidance on how to best proceed.
I have zero experience editing Wiki pages and have just now created an account but I wrote my first HyperText in 1968 and am an experienced academic author. --Kenneth R Sloan (talk) 17:08, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Kenneth R Sloan, and welcome to Wikipedia. When I write a new article, I think about what categories it might be added to, and I like to look at articles within that category to see how they’re structured. In this case, you would likely want to check out those within Category:Neuroscientists and its subcategories.
- As for advice on how to get started, I would first start writing a draft through the Articles for Creation process. This page will take you through the various do’s and don’ts, and I cannot recommend it enough. By the way, since you would be writing about your wife, it’s strongly encouraged that you declare a conflict of interest on your user page. Pasting this bit of code should do the trick.
