Either/or edits

Hello, I notice that you edit on recent deaths. However, your edits seem to be "either/or", as in they are changing one perfectly normal way of writing things to another. On Nicolás Biglianti, there is nothing wrong with a paragraph starting "Biglianti later played...", just like there is nothing wrong with a paragraph starting "He later played...", but it's just not the way that I would start a paragraph. If I had written the wrong name or spelled it incorrectly, of course change it, but if it's just a matter of your preference I don't see the point in changing it.

Also "died aged" and "died at the age of" are another pair of either/or, "died aged" is used in a variety of publications. If this is atypical in another variety of English, then British English should be MOS:RETAINed if the first edition of the page was in British English.

Hi, thanks for the message. I'll keep this short as I don't think this is vital, but I believe it's appropriate to begin the first sentence of a new section with the surname. Then to avoid repetition in following paragraphs, I change some to "he" or "she" at the start of every second paragraph so that the section isn't repetitive/robotic. Always what I've been taught. There's no fixed policy on that on here. As for "aged"/"at the age of", there is a Wiki direction on this. The former tends to be reserved for British English, but more so British subjects. The latter for all others. I prefer the latter as it builds the sentence out more and saves the paragraph looking too stubby. Thanks for your thoughts --Jkaharper (talk) 14:32, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

April 2026

Hi, regarding this edit where you changed "[[Worcester, England]]" to "[[Worcester, England|Worcester]], England", please see MOS:GEOLINK. Rift (talk) 05:04, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Rift:, I'm well aware of MOS:GEOLINK, and having re-read it I believe my edit to have been correct. My interpretation has always been that we do not link modern day country names in the infobox. On that page it says "Paris, France = incorrect" "Paris, France" = correct. Can you please tell me what part you're looking at? Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 11:27, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
