2015 unrequest

As much as Phineas Gage is my pet topic, I recognize overexposure isn't a good thing, so I suggest he be rotated out this year. Howcheng, let me mention in passing that I doubt you get the recognition you deserve for your consistent hard work at OTD. If only DYK ran so smoothly! EEng (talk) 16:53, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

2016 Request

Howcheng, can we have Phineas Gage back (but no image, for reasons that should become clear in the next year or so)? EEng 21:13, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

@EEng: Sure, let's get him back in. —howcheng {chat} 16:01, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Weird... I can't remember what the reasons "that should become clear in the next year or so" were for not using the image. EEng 23:07, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

I guess the reasons didn't become clear, then! :) —howcheng {chat} 06:27, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

2018 query

Hi Howcheng, Petros Voulgaris article has 1884 as year of birth 3 times (lede, infobox, category) but the only referenced (Ref 2) date of birth at section Life has 1883. (Ref 1 per infobox doesn't help.) Should all (and main page) change to 1883? Thanks for all you do. JennyOz (talk) 03:26, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

• @JennyOz: It looks like 1883 is correct, per [1] .. not sure how reliable that is, but "Πολιτιστικό Ινστιτούτο" (the text next to the copyright notice) translates to "Cultural Institute". I didn't find anything that said 1884 except for WP mirrors. —howcheng {chat} 07:13, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Howcheng, I adjusted birth year category too, Regards, JennyOz (talk) 07:42, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

@JennyOz: It turns out that my reference was no good after all, because it put his birth date as 13 July. I think the Greek Navy can be trusted to correctly state the biographical details of one its long-serving officers. —howcheng {chat} 17:16, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

All good, thank you, JennyOz (talk) 04:03, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
