Viktor Berthold
This was in Viktor Berthold, but is actually about Marcel Bertholds: He was born in Riga to a Livonian family. Before the outbreak of World War II he moved to Argentina, where he studied at the University of Buenos Aires to become a doctor. He graduated and moved to the United States where he worked as a doctor and scientist. After that, he moved to Sweden and eventually to Switzerland where he died in the city of Lugano.
Berthold was active in Livonian cultural organizations, and visited Latvia multiple times before his death.[1]
Also Viktor Berthold was not the last speaker of Livonian, there is one still living in Canada: articles about her in Latvian, Finnish and Estonian.

Vassula Ryden
Vassula Ryden is a shocking article constructed from awful sources (mainly self-published) - if anyone has 30 minutes to spare... --Cameron Scott (talk) 20:25, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi guys, I've just come across this awful article, which IMO needs to be rewritten completely. It was created in July 2005 by a single editor, and has not been changed significantly since then. It misses a lead section, making it unclear why this person is notable at all (From what the article says, he was a plastics pioneer). As the article is not an orphan (Celluloid, Alexander Parkes, John Wesley Hyatt, Parkesine, and Plastic link there, I quite guess that notability is establihed though, and hope to find someone here who might want to improve it.

Dave Karmol / Irma Karmol entries
Dkarmol (talk) 02:50, 11 October 2010 (UTC) looking for help on how to fix the dates shown in the little box on my wiki bio page (Dave Karmol) and for the page for my mother, Irma Karmol. We were both members of the Ohio legislature, but the text box on the right side of the page shows incorrect dates for both her service and mine.
The correct dates of service for me are from May 15, 1979 to December 31, 1982. For Irma Karmol they are from January 3, 1975 to April 24, 1979. She was killed in a car accident on that date, and I was appointed to fill the seat the next month.
I am new to wikipedia, and need some hlep fixing the article. Thanks, Dave Dkarmol (talk) 02:50, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Josef Georg Hörl — DYK nominee (the longest serving mayor of Vienna)
Can someone help to expand the article and nominate to DYK? On the 14th of October I nominated the article, but I expect that the size of the article is not enough. The problem is that there are no sources in English so I could expand the article myself. If someone speaks German he can expand the article (more than 5x needed) and it can be nominated again.--Александр Мотин (talk) 08:37, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Category:People - real and fiction
Is there any convention on sub-categories of people? I have been scanning down from Category:People by occupation to create lists of people by groups but have been getting unexpected results. For example film actors under the category Criminals. Reason turns out to be fictional people sub-categories being in the sub-categories of real people. Is this an accepted practice or should this be corrected? --Traveler100 (talk) 16:18, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Traveler100 also posted to Wikipedia talk:Categorization#categories - real and fictional which already has replies. I suggest to keep discussion there. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:36, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Copyediting needed at GA candidate Bill Oakley
- Bill Oakley (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Talk:Bill Oakley/GA1
I am reviewing the GA candidate, Bill Oakley. It is pretty close, but needs a bit of copyediting — specifically, with regard to run-on sentences, and sentences that are a bit too long, and also in some places overusage of commas, and see also some other GA Review recommendations, at Talk:Bill Oakley/GA1. Thank you for your time, -- Cirt (talk) 10:29, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Biography question
I have been spending a lot of my time trying to help out new users. I welcomed a user recently and received this message. I don't think the article meets our notability requirements but am not sure of the exact standards of medical bios. Obviously given the circumstances please treat this person with kid gloves (as we should be doing with all non-vandal new users anyway), by that I mean no warning templates on the talk page. Personalized messages would be better. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out. Quadzilla99 (talk) 18:28, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Tranches: a new way to patrol BLPs
Please visit the page below and consider adopting one of the 100 lists of 5000 BLPs by putting your signature at the end of the corresponding line.
The idea is to get every single edit to a known BLP patrolled, even the articles that are not otherwise watched.
To patrol recent changes to the articles, click on the "related changes" link for your chosen list. Diffs can be inspected in the usual way; it's not unlike a normal watchlist. Start at the bottom and work your way up.
The lists will be refreshed regularly to account for changes in the content of the living persons category.

On the biography page for Susan Edmonstone Ferrier (1782-1854)there is a link for her book "The Inheritance". The link is incorrect. That is the wrong book. I have a copy of the book in my hand from the Old Library in New Castle, DE. Her book was originally published in 1824. There is an 1841 edition published by Richard Bentley of London that can be found on Project Gutenberg. As I am new to this I will let you make the changes. Thank you.

WikiProject cleanup listing
I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick (talk) 20:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Invitation to participation!
Hello!
As you may be aware, the Wikimedia Foundation is gearing up for our annual fundraiser. We want to hit our goal and hit it as soon as possible, so that we can focus on Wikipedia's tenth anniversary on January 15 and our new project: Contributions. I'm posting across these Wikiprojects to engage you, the community, to work to build Wikipedia by finance but also by content. We seek donations not only financially, but by collaboration in building content. You can find more information in Philippe Beaudette's memo to the communities here.
Visit the Contribution project page and the Fundraising page to find out how you can help us support and spread free knowledge. Keegan, Wikimedia Fundraiser 2010 (talk) 06:04, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library
Hello all! I am a big fan of Wikipedia, and look forward to getting involved in editing various biographies.
I also wanted to make it clear that I'm an academic intern at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum. I'm mostly staying away from editing pages, unless I see an error or omission. What I really want to do is let everyone know about the collections of papers available from the library, both online and in their Hyde Park research room. We have some really great stuff and it's all open to the public. Please let me know if any of my links seem inappropriate or spammy, but I'm only linking directly to digitized collections of correspondence and things like that, and only on relevant entries.
Also, when I'm not editing FDR related entries, I'm just a normal history geek doing what I love. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nina928 (talk • contribs) 20:59, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
About the text Porphyrios Bairaktaris
Dear administrator. Here we have a relegious matter. I strongly suggest to change the title of the text Porphyrios Bairaktaris to elder Porphyrios or monk Porphyrios because he was actually a priest - monk that did many miracles and today he is considered amongst the Greek orthodox people (but not yet from the official Greek orthodox church) as a saint! So calling him as a citizen (with his name and surname) is, to my mind, rather inappropriate. At least you can change the name to elder Porphyrios or monk Porphyrios. On the Greek wikipedia he is called ΓΕΡΩΝ ΠΟΡΦΥΡΙΟΣ, meaning elder Porphyrios. 688dim (talk) 11:39, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
The graves of three Covenanters in Wigtown, Scotland (one of them, it stated as Margaret WILSON which is not corrected).
I was there myself and have seen the original grave of Margaret Willson at Wigtown. If you could enlarge the photo from the Wikipedia page and you will see a quite clear. The correct surname is actual WILLSON. Can you please amend all from 'Wilson' to 'WILLSON', including her father, brother and sister; Gilbert, Thomas and Anges respectfully? Thank you.
