I'm wondering whether Shirley Boone (Pat Boone's late wife) warrants a redirect link to his Wikipedia article, at least until she has her own article. 203.196.41.161 ( talk) 21:22, 13 January 2019 (UTC) Editrite!
Hello,
I'm curious. I usually try and update the articles in this listing to reflect the death of said individual. However, when looking at François Protat and the citation that corresponds (my French is remedial at best) it says he disappeared. That doesn't necessarily mean he died, does it?

What image attached where? I don't understand how this information backs up date of death in this case. Ref (chew) (do) 23:07, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
Superseded by a totally new (and more convenient) source being used. Ref (chew) (do) 07:22, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
No, I would suggest looking at previous years Bashereyre ( talk) 12:02, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Greetings ....
On January 2nd Jerry Magee, longtime sports writer for the San Diego Union-Tribute, passed away. The original entry for Magee on the "Deaths in 2019" page used a Fox Sports brief as a source -- fyi, that was https://www.foxsports.com/other/story/longtime-chargers-nfl-writer-jerry-magee-dies-at-age-90-010319
That particular source only made mention of Magee's death with no extended details of his life and career. Furthermore, there were unrelated autoplaying videos attached to the Fox page, as well as unrelated stories of other subjects.
I (Fgf2007, this poster) searched for a better source, and found an excellent article right off the web-site of Magee's paper, the San Diego Union-Tribune, the specific source link being -- https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/sd-sp-jerry-magee-obit-san-diego-canepa-20190102-story.html
Several hours later, I became aware that a change of source (make that two changes) had occurred. First, the source was changed -BACK- to the original FoxSports link, and then it was changed to one from the Seattle Times newspaper site, the specific link being -- https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/longtime-chargers-nfl-writer-jerry-magee-dies-at-age-90/
With all due respect to the most recent revisioner, the San Diego Union-Tribune link is more detailed than the Seattle Times link, and there are no annoying videos or other issues (at least known ones) present.
For the moment, I have chosen to leave the Magee death source (Seattle Times) "as is", but I would like tho ask the regular editors to evaluate and consider the San Diego Union-Tribune source at https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/sd-sp-jerry-magee-obit-san-diego-canepa-20190102-story.html It is the better one.

Congolese refers to a national identity not a nation there are two Countries with the name Congo in their statehood Democratic Republic of Congo and Republic of Congo Congolese is the wring wording because it could mean either and the Democratic Republic used to be Zaire.

No-one mentioned anything about bluelinks in assisting disambiguation. You wouldn't need to bluelink, as it's a lingo difference dealing with two elements of a well-known country. The source of annoyance to one, or some, was in accentuating or not accentuating the difference between the two Congolese peoples, whether you bluelinked their descriptions or not. Using a film/story difference to illustrate a point about a nationality split or convergence also seems strange. Ref (chew) (do) 09:56, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I'm opening this topic here because a number of regular and committed editors are having to take up rafts (?) of time on this particular archived month page in converting many many instances of full cited referencing back to simple cites (so, just URLs and main visible headlines) - it is unclear who (or what bot) decided to convert to full cites, but there is a good reason why simple cite is used here. Page loading times, when considered in tandem with the sheer length of each archived month page, are in danger of being painfully slow on limited speed broadband computers and other devices. Simple cites reduce the bulk of the code in the page, and do help with that problem, even in the smallest way. Here's hoping that the source code remains lean and mean for its archived future. Thanks. Ref (chew) (do) 20:41, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
