Birthplace in dob holder edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

I removed the place of birth from the DOB field. Place of birth is also in the info box to the side.--Malerooster (talk) 01:52, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes, however, the birthplace in the narratives is a common feature and should remain in the text. --evrik ^(talk) 02:46, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes, but it does NOT belong where the DOB is. Do you understand this?--Malerooster (talk) 23:34, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'm okay with the changes made. Do you have a style guide that supports your position? --evrik ^(talk) 15:33, 8 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes, see WP:MOSBIO. Birth and death places, if known, should be mentioned in the body of the article, and can appear in the lead if relevant to notability, but not (my bolding) in the opening brackets alongside the birth and death dates. --Malerooster (talk) 16:19, 9 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
