To be completely honest, I think that an infobox standalone portrait caption is unnecessary to begin with. I raised the issue on the MOS talk page a while back but I suppose it's beyond the point of any return at this point. Connormah (talk) 18:58, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- I think I'd agree in most cases, upon giving this question some further thought. Sunshineisles2 (talk) 01:05, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Script issue
Just wanted to let you know that this diff did more than just tweak date formats, it removed an entire infobox. Please make sure that if you are using scripts to assist in editing, you ensure that you are not causing unintended problems. If you intended on removing the infobox, then please make sure your edit summary does not imply something else entirely. Primefac (talk) 19:53, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- I believe I recall removing the IB as a matter of editorial choice, so I neglected to mention that in the edit summary for whatever reason. Maybe I did it before I hit the script and it didn't show? Strange. Thanks for pointing this out. Sunshineisles2 (talk) 20:03, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Please explain tags in Bob Graham talk
Please explain your citation needed tags in the talk:Bob Graham page. You questioned trivial facts like the names of his children. Your edits constitute Wikipedia:tag bombing which says, "Adding tags to articles should be accompanied by sufficient reasoning on the tagged article's talk page." Timhowardriley (talk) 20:16, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Timhowardriley: In hindsight, perhaps I did not need to add inline citations, since the WP:TAGBOMBING essay says that "There is no need to add [CN] tags to numerous unreferenced statements in an article when [unreferenced] or [refimprove] would state equivalent information". What do you want me to add on the talk page, though, that isn't in the tags? It's an article about a living person which has entire unreferenced paragraphs, about such subjects as what he did in office, awards in his honor, and books he authored.
- And yes, the names of his children absolutely should be referenced: please see WP:BLPNAME, which says: "The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved, otherwise low-profile persons. The names of any immediate, former, or significant family members or any significant relationship of the subject of a BLP may be part of an article, if reliably sourced, subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject. However, names of family members who are not also notable public figures must be removed from an article if they are not properly sourced".
- If anything, all of the names except for Gwen Graham should be removed under that principle. Sunshineisles2 (talk) 20:25, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- Okay. Put this in the talk page. Timhowardriley (talk) 20:29, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for your explanations. Now, the article is being improved. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Graham&diff=1080366849&oldid=1080365333 Timhowardriley (talk) 21:11, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Your edit on smith-rock incident and the sentence: "Audience members and television viewers were shocked by the slapping incident and some wondered if the event had been a publicity stunt. The uncensored video footage...". The reference to "uncensored video" in the sentence after the one you just reverted does not make sense without the comment on the muted audio which I had added. Do you have a fix which works to explain the reference to "uncensored video" in the lead section. ErnestKrause (talk) 18:54, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- Please see the current revision of the page. I have added context. Sunshineisles2 (talk) 18:54, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
2022 Elections Task Force
Hi Sunshineisles2,
I'm looking at starting a task force of Wikipedia editors to work on the pages of candidates up for election in 2022. Many congressional member pages have very few votes or political positions (for example, compare Michelle Steel and Steve Chabot against Nicole Malliotakis), and so I think it would be a great resource for us to flesh out a lot of these pages ahead of the election to better support people who come to Wikipedia for information before they vote.
I see you've been active on a couple of congressperson pages recently so thought you might be interested. If you are, please message me on my talk page. Once I have a couple of interested editors I will work on building a task force page so we can coordinate our work. No worries at all if you're not interested or too busy. Thanks for everything you do for the Wikipedia communtiy!

Hi Sunshineisles2, I just wanted to say thanks for the editorial work you do on recent deaths pages. You do a great job. I'd say more, but I'm too far into this bottle of wine.;-) Regards, Carlstak (talk) 02:37, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the kind words. I never consciously gravitated towards those but I guess I do. It can feel morbid sometimes, but articles do tend to get a big surge in page views if they're about someone who just died, so I figure it's important to make sure the articles are in good shape and well-sourced.
