message: What's with "Miscellaneous Celebrities, Beauty Pageant Winners, Cheesecake Models, etc."
Who decides who's a "Cheesecake" model, versus just a plain "model" (which has another section)?  These long section names are rediculous.  The whole page needs consolidation, into a few simple groupings. Other bad terms to use are things like "Do-Gooders".  Not exactly encyclopedic.  --Rob 16:44, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Cheesecake model" is a polite term for someone whose "modeling" basically consists of posing nude for the purposes of titillation. There is a pretty solid and objective difference between that kind of model and a regular model, who is hired by designers to model clothes.Acsenray 19:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone using IP addresses 205.56.145.34 and 205.56.145.36 has twice added "Joseph M. Parker (United States Navy) (Petty Officer 3rd Class)" to the "Soldiers, Sailors, etc." section.  I won't object to this if it can be shown that this person is indeed someone famous from Ohio. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MarkBrooks (talk • contribs) 16:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I've looked a few lists by State in Wikipedia, and this is the first one to have male and female actors, just "actors". For example, first entry from List of people from Indiana#Film and theatre entertainers section: Lillian Albertson, actress, producer (Noblesville). 88.114.246.209 (talk) 17:25, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: See Gender neutral language.  Female actors are often referred to as actresses, but they are actors (who happen to be female). This article follows Wikipedia's preferred convention in this regard; some others may not.  General Ization Talk    17:29, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Duh. It starts: Gender-neutral language (Gender neutrality in English) avoids constructions that might be interpreted by some readers as an unnecessary reinforcement of traditional stereotypes. And I think none of the instances told there is appropriate here. The closest one seems to be Uncommon gender-marked terms, which "actress" is not. 188.238.24.22 (talk) 04:47, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

message: A prominent person from Ohio to include in the Businesspeople, entrepreneurs section would be technology entrepreneur Michael J. Saylor, who grew up in Fairborn, near Dayton. Suggested bullet point:
* Michael J. Saylor, (founder and CEO of MicroStrategy) (Fairborn)
I'd do it myself, but I have a financial COI; Mr. Saylor's firm is a client of my company.  +  you've both been active here recently—one of you willing to consider adding it? WWB Too (Talk · COI) 19:56, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I added him, but is it seriously a conflict of interest to add a guy to a Wikipedia article ? JoeyofthePriuses (talk) 20:15, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Much appreciated, ! I'm super-careful never to edit client pages, following the advice of WP:PSCOI, even when it seems like a no-brainer. Better safe than sorry. Best, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:40, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
