This is to inform you about some developments in how the living parameter has been changing in your project banner. As the banner shell is now used on every article, it is no longer necessary to add living, or activepol or blpo to {{WikiProject Biography}}. These parameters are all accepted by the banner shell and can safely be removed from other templates. At the same time we thought we would check if these parameters and notices still fit the needs of the project, or if any other options were required? Also, we are considering a simplification so that instead of |living=yes and |activepol=yes we could just use something like |blp=activepol. If anyone has any opinions, please join the thread at Template talk:WikiProject banner shell#Why we should choose between blp or living — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:59, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is anyone interested in this? In fact, is anyone still watching this page? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:13, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a disagreement over the extent of coverage about family tree in the lede in an individual's page Talk:Jack_Schlossberg#NPOV_and_due_weight_issues. I have checked several random biography pages listed as Good Article and didn't come across articles covering family like this in the lede. The edit in disagreement is Special:Diff/1249973757. In biography articles about individuals, is it customary to go over family pedigree like this in the lede section? Graywalls (talk) 20:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
