Hi, I was under the impression that we had an article aboutkipple, the subject invented byPhilip K. Dick. I recall reading it many years ago. However, I went looking for it today (or even a single mention of it), and I could find nothing. The page in question linked above shows you deleted one version of it in 2009, but I'm not sure if that's the right one. Does that one mention PKD? If it does, I would like a copy of it for my sandbox. There's quite a bit written on this subject, and at the very least, it should be added to his biography. Thanks.Viriditas (talk)22:39, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dominic. Good to see you still around. I am not sure if you readThe Signpost regularly, but I noticed (sadly) the obituary for Matthew Brown (Morven) who died last year (he has not been active since 2009 so the news took time to reach Wikipedia). Not sure how well you knew him (you served together on ArbCom) but I have posted a courtesy noticehere and thought you would want to know. I am only contacting a few former arbitrators from that time, but maybe you will know better who might want to be informed. All best wishes.Carcharoth (talk)09:39, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dominic, how's it going? I've done a lot of work onTony Hinkle andClinton L. Hare, and have those articles on my watchlist. I see you've made a series of edits to bio articles that appear to be related toWikipedia:Meetup/Indianapolis/CrownHillCemetery. AndWendySewHappy andCharmingmanatee59 appear to be collaborating in that effort. A couple issues here. Your edits really blew up the infobox at the Hinkle article by wrapping the preexistingTemplate:Infobox college coach insideTemplate:Infobox person. The same sort of problem happened atHarry Deane. There's probably a neater way to do this, but I don't see much value in adding a more generic infobox template just to insert the relatively arcane details of a subject's burial. Second, while reliable, published sources like an obituary may note the place of a subject's burial, it's unlikely they will note the exact section and lot of the grave. So I think in most cases, that information won't be notable for inclusion in a Wikipedia biography article. Thanks,Jweiss11 (talk)20:39, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you want, I am happy to go back and fix the formatting. I have since learned that you need to use the "| embed = yes " parameter to not make the article's title show twice, and the box inside of a box. To me, if we had used that in articles like the Hinkle article, it looks perfect. But since you are also disputing inclusion of these facts at all, I am just ware that going back to improve these would be kicking off an edit war.Dominic·t18:48, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
