This is an experiment to demonstrate the concept of placing Persondata on a subpage. With a small modification to the current persondata template, data can be extracted from the template by straightforward transclusion, and used in the article. This has the advantage that inaccurate or incomplete data only needs to be updated in one place. Furthermore it is much more efficient to access data using the transclusion mechanism than by parsing an entire article. It also allows infobox data to be stored in the same place.
For technical reasons this has to be a subpage of the article talk page, although it would be more logical to make this a subpage of the article page.
Talk pages are where people discuss how to make content on Wikipedia the best that it can be. You can use this page to start a discussion with others about how to improve the "Alexander Grothendieck/Persondata" page.
