Hi Barney, jsut a polite request, in future could you refrain from using the title Sir (or Dame for that matter) in the title of new article creations.

(To discontinue receiving Project Genealogy newsletters, please see below)
In case it becomes relevant in future, I feel I should note that {{user|Flaming Ferrari}}'s advice is not consistent with the guidelines described at ]. Articles about knights and baronets should in most cases be titled simply with the subject's name, without "Sir" (or "Dame") at the beginning or "Nth Baronet" at the end. The exception is when that would be ambiguous with somebody else who has the same name but is not a knight/baronet, in which case the prefix (and suffix, for a baronet) may be added for disambiguation. (I have paraphrased and abridged the guidelines somewhat, so I recommend you to read them yourself and don't just take my word for it.) — ] (]) 02:28, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

In order to improve communication between genealogy interested wikipedians, as well talking in chat mode about the potential new wiki, a new irc channel has been setup, and you are welcome to visit and try it out at: {{Channel|wikimedia-genealogy}}
This is NOT repeat NOT just a variant of Churchill's name.


(In case you are not familiar with IRC, or would prefer some info and intro, please see ])
It is very specifically his pen name - he adopted it to distinguish his books from those of the then much more famous (!) American novelist of the same name!!!!!


At ] is discussed the possibility of creating a genealogy-related Wikimedia user group: please submit comments and suggestions, and whether you would like to be a member in such a group. Prime goal for the group is the creation of a new, free, genealogy wiki, but there is also a discussion weather we should ]?

In order to improve communication between genealogy interested wikipedians, as well as taking new, important steps towards a creation of a new project site, we need to make communication between the users easier and more effective.

'''Future''':
:: Oh hang on, I've found it. To clarify, {{user|Bearcat}} has now ''added to his lies by making false allegations at ]''. To clarify what happened, he wrote an AFD nomination that misrepresented the subject as only being a minor , and specifically mentioned the role of mayor. He made innuendo that the role of mayor was unimportant (which is technically true), but failed to mention that the gentleman was a long-time leader of the majority party on the council, and used inneundo to conflate the two unrelated. He also apparently omitted to conduct a ] search for sources because when such a search is performed a plethora of sources are to be found. When I politely pointed out this to him and gave him the opportunity to correct himself, he refused to do this, asserting things that are clearly not true to anyone with at least half a brain (that a leader of a party group is equally as important as a non-leader) and started to make personal allegations against me. He has now compounded his lies by writing further lies at ] which have led a productive and editor of good character being blocked. ] should have applied to the petty vindictive request of a liar and a troll.

Cheers from your WikiProject Genealogy coordinator {{noping|Dan Koehl}}.
::: If any editor believes that the subject of an article does not indeed warrant an article, they are very welcome to raise an AFD. If their investigation shows the subject to be "minor", then that's their educated opinion. That does NOT make them a liar, and troublemaker, or anything else...it's their reading of the citations. Referring to "anyone with half a brain", and referring further to lies (wholly unfounded), and changing this section header to what you have is an obvious continuation of your personal attacks, and I'll be extending your current block accordingly. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">]</span></small> 23:59, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
<div class="user-block"> ] You have been blocked from editing your talkpage due to abuse of the unblock process, continuing to attack editors, or other ]. You may still ] by using the ], but you should read our ] first. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">]</span></small> 00:01, 24 August 2014 (UTC)</div>
:::Nope, I'm sorry, you're the one who's misrepresenting the matter. As I pointed out, ''repeatedly'', in response to your comments, ] does not give greater weight to the "leader of a political party" at the city council level than it does to other city councillors — "garden-variety councillor" or "party leader", the person still has to pass ] by virtue of the quality of sourcing that has actually been provided. Whatever you think about whether the position is more notable in ''principle'' or not than a "garden-variety city councillor", Misplaced Pages's ''inclusion criteria for politicians'' do not grant the party leader a greater presumption of notability than the garden-variety councillor, if the quality of sourcing is not there to get him past GNG. I did not assert anything about the level of power that the leader does or doesn't have within the council's internal structure — I provided a ''completely'' accurate assessment of ''Misplaced Pages'''s inclusion standards for local politicians (no matter what role they held, they still have to pass GNG for it) which wasn't even ''remotely'' the same thing as what ''you're'' claiming that I said.
:::Secondly, I said ''nothing'' in the entire discussion that was in any way an allegation or personal attack against you. The ''worst'' thing I said about you at any point was that you were arguing with a strawman instead of with what I was actually saying, which is not an actionable comment (and you threw the word "strawman" at me too, so if it were an actionable comment you'd still be blocked right alongside me anyway.) You, on the other hand, called me an outright liar, which you're simply not allowed to do. And if you're allowed to characterize yourself as a productive editor of good character, then I'm allowed to point out that I most certainly have a reputation as a productive editor of good character as well — I've been around here since 2003, and do ''not'' have any sort of reputation as being a liar or a troll or a dishonest editor. (I've never once, for example, accumulated a single behavioral block in that entire time, not even a ten-minute timeout. If I were half as bad an editor as you seem to think, I'd have been banned years ago — but in reality, I'm actually a pretty well-respected contributor who's ''never'' once in an entire decade had to be formally sanctioned or disciplined with anything more than a minor "hey, you screwed up here, so be more careful about this next time, okay?")
:::Thirdly, I most certainly ''did'' do enough ] to be aware that the volume of available sourcing out there is not as strong as you're claiming; there are a fair number of reliable sources which mention his ''name'' in passing, but I did ''not'' a find a lot of sources which were ''about'' him in a ''substantive'' way. And at least one other commenter in the AFD discussion has ''also'' pointed out that ''they'' didn't find much substantive sourcing on a Google search either. And as I also pointed out, I am Canadian, and do not have ''access'' to the resources necessary to do a really comprehensive database search of past British media coverage — I can ''only'' go by what comes up on Google, and what I saw on Google was a lot of sources that just namechecked him in passing as a ''former'' councillor, and ''not'' a lot that actually constituted ''substantive'' coverage of his career ''while'' he was in office. If you think there are enough sources out there to get him over GNG, you're certainly more than welcome to find them and add them to the article — I said, right from the start, that the article could be kept if the sourcing were improved — but you're not entitled to just namecall and insult anybody who happens to disagree with you about the ''current'' state of the article.
:::And finally, just for the record, I asked for ''nothing'' in the ANI post except for somebody to ''review'' the situation and make their ''own'' decision about who was or wasn't at fault. I'm ''sure'' I would have been blocked or at least warned if Panda had read the discussion and decided that I was the one at fault, but that's not what happened. ] (]) 00:44, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

A demo wiki is up and running!

Dear members of WikiProject Genealogy, this will be the last newsletter for 2017, but maybe the most important one!

You can already now try out the demo for a genealogy wiki at https://tools.wmflabs.org/genealogy/Main_Page and try out the functions. You will find parts of the 18th Pharao dynasty and other records submitted by the 7 first users, and it would be great if you would add some records.

And with those great news we want to wish you a creative New Year 2018!

A demo wiki is up and running!

Dear members of WikiProject Genealogy, this will be the last newsletter for 2017, but maybe the most important one!

You can already now try out the demo for a genealogy wiki at https://tools.wmflabs.org/genealogy/Main_Page and try out the functions. You will find parts of the 18th Pharao dynasty and other records submitted by the 7 first users, and it would be great if you would add some records.

And with those great news we want to wish you a creative New Year 2018!
