Awards edit

@Duncan.Hull:, if you don't think |honorific_suffix= should exist, I'd suggest proposing its removal at Template talk:Infobox scientist and/or Template talk:Infobox person. Until that happens though, suffixes are appropriately represented using that parameter rather than |awards=. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:29, 30 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Nikkimaria: I don't have a problem with |honorific_suffix=, but the edits duplicated content (and removed others), please be more careful when switching infobox templates. Duncan.Hull (talk) 08:41, 31 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
It's simply incorrect to say that my edits duplicated content - my version used |honorific_suffix= instead of |awards=, as is appropriate. On several occasions it has been your edit that was duplicative, such as here or here, where your changes resulted in the same content being displayed in both |awards= and |honorific_suffix=. So it would seem that it is you who needs to be more careful. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:22, 31 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
The edit history of the Ian A. Graham article you mention says otherwise (read it). Your edit (not mine) here duplicated info by adding FRS as an honorific_suffix (when it was already listed as an award = ... ) and also mentioned in the leader text "Ian Alexander Graham FRS". A pointless waste of your time and mine (IMHO), not important if it was just this article, but its happening in many articles Duncan.Hull (talk) 22:34, 31 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
You're reading the diffs incorrectly. That version of the article does not include |honorific_suffix= at all. I added |honorific_suffix= in this edit, which does not include |awards= at all. It was your edit here that resulted in both being used. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:21, 1 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
