Talk:List of people from Merseyside

message: Do american pro wrestlers and bands count as famous people?--Jirate 00:55, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The test is whether they are notable within our criteria. If they are, they should have an article in wikipedia and can be listed here. --Rodhullandemu 17:35, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

text: The title is deliberately ambiguous (ie: "from") to allow entries for both people who have been born in Merseyside and who grew up there. Nev1 (talk) 13:23, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: what about people who self-identify as coming "from" Liverpool, e.g. Cherie Booth? To deny such people is akin to telling someone they are "not black", for the sake of extreme example. In other words, this cannot be policed at all. Anyone who claims to come "from Liverpool" should be included whatever the facts or their birth certificate says.

I'm afraid the Internet Movie Database is not a reliable source. This is because it is an open source website that hasn't been published. It has a poor reputation for fact checking. Additions using imdb need to be removed I'm afraid. --Jza84 |  Talk   22:06, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

message: This article is suffering from repeated incompetent edits from ACtiling.  He has been warned at User talk:ACtiling by User:LicenceToCrenellate, by User:Ghmyrtle, and more recently by me.  The most obvious thing is that he repeatedly adds entries out of alphabetical order, and it seems that he has often merely removed an existing entry and put a new entry in its place.  It isn't clear whether he has a difficulty in comprehension, but he continues his disruptive editing and expecting other people to tidy up after him.  He has received suggestions to start from Help:Getting started or to practice in his user sandbox, but he has failed to respond to any constructive suggestions.  I fear that a WP:CIR block may be the only solution, but if other editors can get through to him it would be useful.  --David Biddulph (talk) 16:15, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: As just one example among the batch I rolled back today, , one of his most recent from yesterday evening, put an Se entry among the Sa entries (presumably because he did it by removing an existing Sa entry).  He clearly doesn't have a clue.  Not malicious, but grossly incompetent, and unwilling or unable to learn.  --David Biddulph (talk) 18:27, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

text: @ACtiling You are referring (very badly, yet again, with a really unhelpful header) to my revert of your addition of John Lyon (boxer) to the article. Wikipedia takes the view that no editor adds anything unless it can be verified (See WP:VERIFY) by looking at published sources in the public domain. We don't care what you happen to know or who your mates are. I'm sure this may be true, but personal knowledge about something is not a valid reason for adding something to Wikipedia. You either need the article in question to contain a cited source to prove that connection, or you need to add a citation here. You've done neither, and so it is not an acceptable addition. Do not do it again, please. Nick Moyes (talk) 21:47, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

message: I'm going to start changing the formating of the article to match the style of most of the other "List of people..." articles on Wikipedia. 
That is, rather than
"Name: description"
It will become
"Name (born xxxx), description"
or 
"Name (xxxx–yyyy), description"
I'll use the opportunity to try and standardise & simplify the descriptions a bit more as well as remove overlinking. 
Any objections or comments? I won't start making changes immediately.LicenceToCrenellate (talk) 07:37, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
