Too old
an insource search for "birth date and age\|18" to search for people born in the 19th century that are allegedly still alive. This will more likely show that the wrong template is being used, or some other error, or commented-out templates. You can do the same thing for birth years starting with 190. There are lots of commented-out templates in the results.
Here's how to do a cross-category search with PetScan. Change the year in the Categories box to modify the search.
Our search box can also do this simple case: incategory:"Living people" incategory:"1920 births".
d:Q23074256 offers 1909 or 1917. both allegedly imported from enwiki.
Notability for cases
Proposed notability guideline for legal cases.
A legal case is an occurrence wherein two or more persons (called parties) have a dispute which at least one seeks to resolve by filing a claim with a court of law or other dispute resolution body. Legal cases are ubiquitous, with thousands of cases being filed around the world every day. Legal cases are generally not notable, but in rare instances a case may be notable either because it involves notable people or arises out of notable events, or because the decision in the case establishes an important precedent that is followed by other courts and commented on by legal scholars. In even rarer instances, a case may become notable because it encompasses a strange or quirky set circumstances that draw popular attention, even though the prosecution and resolution of the case are otherwise unremarkable.

For hundreds of years, reference works tended to list human names by last name, comma, first name (as in Washington, George). Common sense supports creating redirects following this formula, as some readers may expect to be able to find names this way.

Statement on COI
My personal identity is on file with the WMF, and known to certain administrators whom I have met in person at Wikimania events and other in-person gatherings. Those who know of my identity can confirm my absence of conflict with respect to the topics that I edit.
Nonetheless, I am occasionally asked whether I have a conflict with respect to some article or other. I do not hesitate to edit articles that have a history of COI editing, because it would be absurd if the existence of past COI edits made clearly notable topics so toxic to address that attempts to improve them would automatically lead to suspicion, resulting in a perverse permanent stasis in a poorly-written state.
Two link discography indexes
Recently I have noticed that there were a small number of pages titled "Foo discography", tagged as disambiguation pages, and containing links to lists of different kinds of discographies by the same artist. I have changed all of these to media index pages, since they are obviously not unrelated for disambiguation purposes (see WP:DABCONCEPT), but I doubt that they need to exist at all. Of the 3,451 pages in Category:Discographies by genre, 3,379 are titled "Foo discography", while only 26 are titled "Foo albums discography". An additional 34 are titled "Foo singles discography", and some of these have long existed where the main article is titled "Foo albums discography".
An example of a page currently presented as an index of only a few links is Mariah Carey discography, which states that the title may refer to Mariah Carey albums discography, Mariah Carey singles discography, and Mariah Carey videography. Putting aside the question of whether "discography" refers to a videography at all, it is incorrect to suggest that the term "discography" refers to one or the other kind of recording, as opposed to referring to both kinds of recording combined. By contrast, see Annie discography for a proper disambiguation page containing links to multiple unrelated artists or collections that happen to share the name "Annie". For this reason, and because many of these pages only have links to two or three articles collecting different kinds of recordings by the same artist, I do not think they need to exist at all. In each case, I would presume that the discography most likely to be sought was the album discography (since most tracks released as singles are also released on albums), and would move all articles currently titled "Foo albums discography" to "Foo discography", with a hatnote to indicate the existence of a separate "Foo singles discography" as needed.
WP:ATA proposal for disambiguation pages
Claiming that the search function can substitute for a human name disambiguation page.
A frequent argument made with respect to disambiguation pages for human names (or HNDIS pages) is that if the page is deleted, searchers could just use the Wikipedia search function to find people sharing that name. This sounds good in theory, if the search function operated to isolate people with a given combination of given name and surname, but it does not actually work that way.
Notes
Non-dab pages with dab-tagged links:
- Soul
- Abdul Kadir
- Sam Sloan
- Insignificance
- Abdul Majid
Need a study done on the utility of disambiguation pages versus hatnotes.
It is important to distinguish between CEOs and the companies they are affiliated with. Bad acts attributed to companies or their other employees should not be included in articles on the CEO unless reliable sources equate these specific actions of the company with the actions of the CEO. Government letters and notices sent to CEOs in their capacity as CEO of a company should not be used as sources on the pages of the individual.

A heavy metal proposition
From time to time we have discussed the possibility of asking editors to fix disambiguation links being added to articles before the changes including the link are saved. However, we have never actually tested out such a scheme with an actual disambiguation term. I propose that we initiate such a test with the disambiguation page, Heavy metal. This is one of the most frequently linked disambiguation pages due to Wikipedia's extensive catalog of articles in the heavy metal music genre, and thorough coverage of the heavy metals in chemistry articles. Although there are several other meanings, these are the two that are by far the most likely intended when a link is made.
Comment on cases
The question has come up of whether an article on a legal case can rely on the statement of facts given by the court. The discussion that followed resulted in the articulation of some useful principles to guide this inquiry.
In articles about judicial opinions, it often does not matter whether the facts stated in the opinion are "true" or not; they are the facts on which the court based its opinion, whether the court got them right or not. A practicing lawyer, or judge deciding a subsequent case, would ordinarily rely on the facts that a court set forth in its decision for purposes of understanding that decision. Similarly, a Wikipedia article on a court decision would ordinarily summarize relevant facts as found by the court. If the facts of the case are non-controversial, we can ordinarily go a step further and accept that the facts as described by the court are probably what actually happened. Where the facts were disputed between the parties, then it is better to report that the court accepted the version the facts asserted by a particular party.
There are two notable exceptions to this principle. First, there are cases that arise from important historical events or in connection with notable historical figures, such as Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803), United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974), and , Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988). The judicial machinations of the early 1800s Congress, and the facts of the 1970s Watergate investigation, obviously are of historical significance in many other contexts besides just the court's analysis in that one case. The facts of the 1980s dispute between a leading televangelist and a widely circulated pornographic magazine are significant to articles on the respective subjects.
Second, certain cases about mundane events nevertheless become unusually celebrated, perhaps due to their importance in establishing principles of law. Examples include Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co., 248 N.Y. 339, 162 N.E. 99 (1928), in which a woman was injured by events that occurred while she was attempting to board a train at the Long Island Rail Road's Jamaica station East New York station one day in 1924, Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335 (1963), in which a man was accused of breaking into a pool hall and stealing a small amount of cash and cigarettes. What happened to Mrs. Palsgraf, and what Mr. Gideon was accused of, are things that are not of any historical significance whatsoever except to the extent it affected the outcomes of their court cases, and the facts that affected the outcomes are those that the respective courts believed to be true, regardless of what later historical research may reveal. However, because this cases are well-known among lawyers, there are additional sources for the underlying facts, which may be helpful to fill our or supplement the facts as found by the court. Such additional sources are not essential to every case-related article, but may be helpful for some of them. Palsgraf, in particular, is an unusual example of a case that involved a small, local, non-fatal accident, but which has attracted an enormous secondary literature of a type that most other cases will be unable to match. Much of that secondary literature revolves around the specific question of whether the facts as reported in the opinions corresponded with what actually happened that morning.

Disambiguation nightmares
A disambiguation nightmare is a disambiguation page for which it is very difficult to fix the incoming links because topics on the page are excessive, poorly described, poorly delineated, overlapping, or generally incomplete. A disambiguation nightmare can occur for a common human name like John Smith because there are so many people by that name that it is very difficult for a reader coming to that page to quickly find the John Smith mentioned in an article linking to the page.
Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers!
Proposal for fixing links to potentially ambiguous primary topic redirects
I propose to amend Wikipedia:Redirect#Do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken to permit "fixing" links from potentially ambiguous redirects, where doing so makes it easier to find and fix mistaken links to that redirect.
For example, CIA redirects to Central Intelligence Agency, and it is not disputed that the primary topic of "CIA" is "Central Intelligence Agency"; nevertheless, there are many other lesser-known meanings of "CIA" to which editors sometimes intend to link, such as The Culinary Institute of America, Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and Calgary International Airport. In order to find and fix accidental links to CIA that are intended for one of these other meanings, I would like to change all existing links intended to point to Central Intelligence Agency to piped, direct links to that target (i.e., [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] links).
I would further like to do something similar for primary topic titles for which other prominent uses exist. For example, links are often made to Apple and Mouse that are intended for Apple Inc. and Mouse (computing). I would like to change all of the links that are intended to point to Apple and Mouse into redirects that are piped through Apple (fruit) and Mouse (animal), so that it will be easier to find and fix accidental links to these pages that are intended for the other pages at issue.
DAB AWB wish list
I would like:
- AWB disambiguation to recognize disambiguation redirect titles.
- AWB disambiguation to fix titles in {{disambiguation needed|Foo}} templates.
- The ability to get all the "what links here" lists for a list of articles at once.
- The ability to generate lists of solutions for multiple disambiguation links at once, and see those in the disambiguation window.
- Recognize and fix dab links in {{sortname}} templates.
DAB points
With close to a million incorrect links to fix, the most effective way to do it is with a program like AWB that loads up all links to a particular page. By excluding the tens of thousands of intentional links from this process, we save enough time that we are actually finally getting ahead of the curve. As long as there are disambiguation pages, there will be errant links to them, and we will need some means to avoid the distraction of those intentional links.
A redirect that does not contain the phrase "(disambiguation)" would not show up on the "what links here" page as redirecting through a "foo (disambiguation)" page. For a page like John Smith, if the dozens of intentional incoming links did not redirect through John Smith (disambiguation), people trying to fix incorrect links would waste hours checking pages containing intentional links that could not be fixed.

Gordon Grundy was the president of Studebaker Canada Ltd. in 1966, but the company failed to earn profits sufficient to justify continued investment, and was closed.
Todd Wood, commanding officer of the 184th Infantry Regiment, was the highest ranking United States military officer to be killed in the War in Iraq.
On January 24, 1925, five days after the Senate Judiciary Committee had recommended Stone's confirmation, Senator Thomas J. Walsh—Wheeler's Montana colleague and legal counsel—convinced the Senate to return the nomination to committee for further review. Although President Coolidge refused to withdraw the nomination, he agreed to an unprecedented compromise. He would allow Stone to become the first Supreme Court nominee in history to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. On January 28, 1925, Stone's masterful performance during five hours of public session testimony cleared the way for his quick confirmation. Not until 1955, however, did the Senate Judiciary Committee routinely adopt the practice, based on the precedent established by the Stone nomination, of requiring all Supreme Court nominees to appear in person.

Pinderhughes administrative headquarters of the Baltimore City Public Schools) in the mid-town area (near the newly developed and designated "Station North" district) through the downtown central business district, past the "Inner Harbor" and old South Baltimore/Federal Hill peninsula, across the Hanover Street Bridge and the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River, to East Patapsco Avenue, the main northwest-southeast commercial strip of the adjacent community to the west of "The Bay", known as Brooklyn, where the line runs a circuitous route after turning right (to the south) through the Brooklyn residential streets up 10th Street to Church Street then to the intersection of the Curtis Bay neighborhood's main commercial drive - Pennington Avenue and Spruce Street in the northeastern corner of the Curtis Bay residential area in Baltimore, Maryland. Evolved 130 years from the former Baltimore and Curtis Bay Railroad line of electrified streetcars first began running in 1893 after the mid-century became the old Number 6 line from the days of the streetcars of the old United Railways and Electric Company which merged out of several competing lines in 1899 to the later successor merged Baltimore Transit Company after 1935. The modern state MTA was formed after the state takeover of the BTC in 1968. By the mid-1980's, the old Number 6 line was split into several routes, #61, #62 and #64 serving different southern ends and terminuses of the old combined line in various sectors of the surrounding southern Baltimore neighborhoods of Brooklyn-Curtis Bay-Fairfield-Wagner's Point and the U.S. Coast Guard Yard at Arundel Cove.
