Infobox

Hello,

I'm questioning the use of the astronaut infobox on this article. Isn't Shuttleworth's position as the founder of Canonical more significant to his biography than the fact that he went to space? I think it should be replaced with Template:Infobox person. InverseHypercube (talk) 23:40, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I totally agree. --SF007 (talk) 23:44, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Grandparents

I've reverted this IP edit[1] on the basis of WP:BLP, as I couldn't find a source to collaborate it. Having contacted Margaret Curtain, an Australian genealogist and author of [2] to try and track down a source, it would appear to be untrue anyway (marriages recorded in at least EG and ZA. Births recorded in at least ZA, AU, GB, and historically back to IE in some of the parentage). Other potential sources also (dis)agree: [3][4][5] and the various space-related biographies, such as [6]. —Sladen (talk) 05:51, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
