Busy-ness edit
Hi, I am finding some of the sections very busy where each person had their year of birth and death following their name. Does anyone have a problem of removing those dates if there is a linked article?
Example:
- Current language: Thomas was the first son of Thomas Mann Randolph Sr. (1741–1793) and Anne Cary Randolph (1745–1789). His siblings included older sisters: Mary Randolph (1762–1828), author of The Virginia House-Wife (1824); Cary ("Nancy") Randolph (1774–1837) wife of Gouverneur Morris, and younger sister, Virginia Randolph Cary (1786–1852), author of Letters on Female Character (1828).
- Suggested language: Thomas was the first son of Thomas Mann Randolph Sr. and Anne Cary Randolph. His siblings included older sisters: Mary Randolph, author of The Virginia House-Wife; Cary ("Nancy") Randolph, wife of Gouverneur Morris, and younger sister, Virginia Randolph Cary, author of Letters on Female Character.

- And, perhaps take the years out of the book content? I took those out of the suggested language, too.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:11, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- I am going ahead and make the edit. The language is saved here if there's agreement that it's better to have all the dates in the body of the article. I just realized Ann Cary's birth/death info is in her husband's article, too, and made that change to the suggested wording.–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
