There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24.

Request for Review of Simon Duffy (Producer)Edit
Hello, WikiProject Biography and WikiProject Musicians members,
I am reaching out to request a review of my recent submission, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Simon_Duffy_(Producer).
The article focuses on the life and career of Simon Duffy, a notable songwriter/producer who has made significant contributions to the music industry. Given the subject's notability and relevance to the biographical and musician genre, I believe this article falls within the scope of WikiProject Biography and Musicians.
My submission has undergone an initial review, and I have since made necessary revisions based on the feedback provided. However, the review process for the updated version has been delayed, and I am hoping that someone from this WikiProject could help by reviewing the article and providing further guidance or feedback.
I appreciate any assistance you can provide in reviewing this submission, and I am open to making further improvements based on your feedback. Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely, LeftfieldArchivist LeftfieldArchivist (talk) 10:03, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- The same query has been responded to on WikiProject Musicians so it is probably best for the discussion to continue there exclusively, just to keep everything together. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 12:58, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

RfC about WP:COP-HERITAGEEdit
See Wikipedia talk:Categorization of people#RfC about WP:COPHERITAGE
WP:FORUMSHOPPING to overturn prior Categories for Discussion results concerning overcategorization by ethnicity. This would change to "at least one" (from zero or one), a major shift for descent and diaspora categories contrary to 18 years of documented guidelines. Most biographies should have zero descent categories, as Wikipedia:Categorization of people#By nationality and occupation are sufficient. Some may have one, but there has never been a documented need for two or more, and certainly never "at least one". It could explode the number of such categories.

Chris KempczinskiEdit
Hello, WikiProject Biography editors! On behalf of McDonald's, I've submitted a few requests to update the page for president and CEO Chris Kempczinski. In addition to a proposed addition about his current tenure, I've suggested adding mention of his Economic Club of Chicago speech and adding additional text about his tenure as president of McDonald's USA.
Users Crystallizedcarbon and FeldBum have been helpful in updating the article on my behalf, but there are multiple edit requests which remain open and I'm hoping some editors here may be able to help. Thanks for your consideration. MattMcDonalds (talk) 20:04, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Infobox officeholderEdit
Aquabluetesla and I are in disagreement about whether template officeholder should be used for, e.g., deans. See the discussion at Talk:R. Duane Ireland. Input from knowledgeable editors will be appreciated. Thanks! --Randykitty (talk) 08:18, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- The officeholder infobox is the only way to list the position of dean in the infobox and this is how it is done on most American university dean articles. I have added an academic infobox module to list what is unable to be listed with the officeholder infobox. I don’t think there is any real issue here. Aquabluetesla (talk) 16:50, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Please keep the discussion centralized at Talk:R. Duane Ireland. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 17:40, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

The article Lester E. Holt has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails the notability guideline. Currently cited to two sources: (1) Find a Grave, in contravention of WP:RSP#Find a Grave (2) A hand-waved collection of 30 newspapers, seven of which repeat the same information that amounts to "airplane tester died in crash".
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 14:19, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
