Awards[edit]

@Duncan.Hull:, if you don't think |honorific_suffix= should exist, I'd suggest proposing its removal at Template talk:Infobox scientist and/or Template talk:Infobox person. Until that happens though, suffixes are appropriately represented using that parameter rather than |awards=. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:29, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Nikkimaria: I don't have a problem with |honorific_suffix=, but the edits duplicated content (and removed others), please be more careful when switching infobox templates. Duncan.Hull (talk) 08:41, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's simply incorrect to say that my edits duplicated content - my version used |honorific_suffix= instead of |awards=, as is appropriate. On several occasions it has been your edit that was duplicative, such as here or here, where your changes resulted in the same content being displayed in both |awards= and |honorific_suffix=. So it would seem that it is you who needs to be more careful. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:22, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The edit history of the Ian A. Graham article you mention says otherwise (read it). Your edit (not mine) here duplicated info by adding FRS as an honorific_suffix (when it was already listed as an award = ... ) and also mentioned in the leader text "Ian Alexander Graham FRS". A pointless waste of your time and mine (IMHO), not important if it was just this article, but its happening in many articles Duncan.Hull (talk) 22:34, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're reading the diffs incorrectly. That version of the article does not include |honorific_suffix= at all. I added |honorific_suffix= in this edit, which does not include |awards= at all. It was your edit here that resulted in both being used. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:21, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
