Family Tree

This article has Samuel Miles Bronfman born "On board ship / born in Soroki", but the Samuel_Bronfman article has him born in Otaci. Apparently, he was born the same year as the family moved to Canada (1889), which might be the source of the "on ship" reference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joelephant (talk • contribs) 19:24, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which Bronfman heir was kidnapped (and returned unharmed, I believe) in 1975? 45750born (talk) 14:48, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization of surnames

Please note that capitalization of surnames was used because this is a family tree format. Please also note that women are listed by their maiden names, as is common in genealogy. Links to Wikipedia entries for individuals were preserved from prior version, but red links were removed as they seemed unhelpful. The tree structure was used based on the Lehman family Wikipedia entry. It was selected to make this page easier to read than the prior version, which was a bulleted list.

Hmm, the Lehman family article is STRANGELY LEGIBLE, wouldn't you agree? I know how much work goes into making a tree, and how exciting and satisfying it can be, but ALL CAPS is simply not acceptable on Wikipedia or most other places. Excess capitalization leads to visual and mental fatigue, and is the electronic equivalent of YELLING IN YOUR FACE. Although useful in a genealogy table and military orders where proper names must be understood at all costs, the needlessly repetitive and illegible nature of the article as it stands should, I feel, be brought in line with MOS:ALLCAPS. >MinorProphet (talk) 04:49, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree 100%. As a genealogist this is the convention, is not considered to be YELLING (that was yelling), but is actually used to make it easier to read trees and differentiate surnames. This formatting is an attempt to integrate genealogical formats and conventions into a family tree page of Wikipedia. It is not needlessly repetitive or illegible in any way if you understand genealogy. BrillLyle (talk) 18:50, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Roffmann comment

My surname is not capitalized in my Wikimedia pseudonym. I am unrelated to the Bronfman family.

As far as I can tell, I am a Hohenzollern Roffmann, our family emigrated in my Great-grandfather's generation, from Baden-Baden, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, to East Fork, Illinois, USA. b. roffmann (talk) 19:51, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Family tree (Aug 2023)

I don't think we really need this absurdly detailed family tree that is almost completely unsourced and almost certainly includes the names of minor children in addition to dozens of non-notable and non-public people. Valereee (talk) 21:28, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Slovebz, you didn't leave an edit summary about this revert. Can you discuss your reasoning? Valereee (talk) 17:50, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Slovebz, pretty concerned about these non-notable minors being listed here, please respond. Valereee (talk) 22:45, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Google the names and you'll find that all are published publicly by themselves/media/court so I don't know how there's any problem since I added zero private information. Slovebz (talk) 22:52, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry that I forgot. I see nothing wrong with the family tree since all are public information. Therefore I reverted the deletion. And when there is a lack of source, it's very likely that editors forgot to add them. So instead of resorting to the bad habit of deleting/reverting, one can simply google the keywords and add the sources which are generally on the front pages of the search results. Slovebz (talk) 22:58, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Without sources, this is a BLP concern. I'm going to revert again, please add sources if you re-add.

Non-notable minors should never be mentioned. Valereee (talk) 23:13, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
