I removed the following Persondata "infobox" which had been placed at the bottom of the article.
It contains no additional information to that in the {{tl:Infobox Military Person}}
It did not show up in the article. (Template not functioning correctly??)
The exact text is here ("nowiki" tag added to make visible):
{{Persondata
|NAME=Perkins, William Thomas, Jr.
|ALTERNATIVE NAMES=
|SHORT DESCRIPTION=[[United States Marine]] recipient of the [[Medal of Honor]]
|DATE OF BIRTH=[[August 10]] [[1947]]
|PLACE OF BIRTH=[[Rochester, New York]]
|DATE OF DEATH=[[October 12]] [[1967]]
|PLACE OF DEATH=[[Quang Tri]], [[Vietnam]]
}}
It's not actually supposed to show up in the article ;-)
{{Persondata}} is (was?) meant as a way of automatically extracting certain biographical data from articles; the full description is here. I have no idea what the status of that project is, though. Kirill Lokshin 04:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for pointing that out. I had never seen it before and it seemed like it was trying to substitute for the Military person infobox. No problem. — ERcheck (talk) 04:53, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
