Should emigrants be categorized under their native country or place from which they reside?

For example, George L. King moved from Taiwan when he was 10 years old, but his notable career has been in America. Should he be categorized under Category:American physicians or Category:Taiwanese physicians? His citizenship status is not known. BhamBoi (talk) 21:41, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Peer review of historic British Royal family member/German Nobleman/Nazi leader

Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was a strange, footnote-of-history type character. A British prince who became a German duke and later a Nazi leader. I have put it up for peer review (See:Wikipedia:Peer review/Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha/archive1) in the hope of getting it to featured article status. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated. Llewee (talk) 23:08, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

RFC - Trump and the Abraham Accords

Can you assume nationality if no sources explicitly state it?

e.g. Cynthia Gardner; her place of birth is not known, but her career has been in the U.S. and with a national government agency. Can I put her in Category:American geologists, or do I have to tag Category:Geologists with Category:Nationality missing? BhamBoi (talk) 22:26, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Similar nationality questions can be raised about hundreds of pages, but a few more geologists just for example include Terry Keith and Robert Mitchell, who both have notable careers in the United States, but I'm still unsure whether to tag them with nationality unknown because it's not known what country they are actually nationals of.

I have created Sean Jackson (basketball). I have found a 2010 non-WP:RS that states: "he was director and analyst with SunTrust Equitable and a decade ago (2000) he published the securities industries' first comprehensive research piece on Internet security. He several times won The Wall Street Journal's Best of the Street award, and was repeatedly highly ranked among software-sector analysts." Does anyone here know how to document this content from a WP:RS.

Edit Request

Hello. I work at The Wonderful Company, and I am hoping an editor is willing to make two changes to Lynda Resnick’s page. The first is adding her accurate birthday, which is January 2, 1943. The infobox also has a website listed that is no longer active-her official bio can be found athttps://www.wonderful.com/lyndaresnick/ . I will not direct edit this page because I have a conflict of interest. Appreciate any assistance that can be provided in making this correction. RachelOstroff (talk) 19:27, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Updating "as of" in Robert Rubin article

Hi WikiProject Biography, I work for Robert Rubin and recently posted an edit request seeking to update the "as of" phrasing used to describe three ongoing affiliations of Mr. Rubin. Verification that he has been involved in each are already supported by reliable sources, but those sources are now a bit older. One of these affiliations also includes a link to Mr. Rubin's biography on that group's website, so my thought was to update the accessdate for this one and add similar links showing that Mr. Rubin is still active in the other two. I realize these will be primary sources, but they are prominant organizations and there is no reason to doubt them. I had raised this on the talk page, but no one has weighed in, so I thought I'd come here and see if there was any interest from folks in this. I'd love to hear your thoughts, here or there.

Draft article awaiting review for director/writer Misha Manson-Smith

I have a draft biography pending review for director/writer Misha Manson-Smith. It has yet to be reviewed after some weeks. Seeking feedback to progress it getting published. Intending to link it to a new article on "hybrid comedy" which is a niche but specific sub genre as performed by the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen, Nathan Fielder, Marc Wootton and Eric Andre, in which actors play fictional characters interacting with unsuspecting people in documentary like situations. Manson-Smith has directed a number of works in this field. On the help chat, I was advised to post here, along with the key citations that demonstrate notability. Links below. Any feedback would be most helpful.

Request for Megan Twohey biography

Hello! My name is Danielle Rhoades Ha and I work for [[The New York Times Company]]. I have disclosed my affiliation at [[Talk:Megan Twohey]], where I was asked by User:Tamzin to verify my identity after flagging some issues with Megan Twohey's biography. I am struggling to get editor feedback [[Talk:Megan_Twohey#Revisiting_the_transgender_healthcare_section|here] ], where I've outlined my concerns related to the "Transgender healthcare" section. I have outlined how the section has non-neutral text, overemphasizes the amount of criticism received, and uses sources labeled as "commentary" or op-eds. I have also provided more accurate and neutral replacement text based on the same sources, including the sources I think may be problematic. I still welcome User:Tamzin's feedback, but I would also like to invite other editors to weigh in. Are any editors here willing to take a look at my proposed changes in more detail? Thanks for your consideration. DanielleRhoadesHa (talk) 20:29, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
