Anchor and Defaultsort

You are doing defaultsort wrong. There MUST be a space after commas. It doesn't need to be all caps. It must follow the same order that all others use. If it uses something different, then what is the use of having a sort order?

No article currently use the anchor. It is a short article. You have the anchor at the top. There is no reason to have the anchor as a wikilink will goto the same spot.

Listas and living are required parameters in WikiProject Biography banner and the banner should be the first one in order for listas to work. Bgwhite (talk) 05:19, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up about the comma spacing. Apart from that, if WPBIO is buggy, they should fix that. I'm not misusing defaultsort in the least, but you're right to point out that other well-meaning editors have standardized the WP:WRONGVERSION of dealing with names bearing epithets.

You are similarly completely incorrect about the usefulness of removing anchors, given that you're only decreasing functionality, increasing (not decreasing) the amount of storage space with each revision of the article, and have no policy or even useful point to make with your tendentious war footing. The page will grow and it's useful to be able to accommodate links to the major formats of names for that section. That you're wrecking the page formatting each time you edit these pages just underlines that—as much as I'm sure you mean well—you should stop and go somewhere else where you can make constructive edits. — LlywelynII 13:11, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

WPBIO is not buggy. I have no idea why you would think that. Listas in WPBIO is the same as DEFAULTSORT in the article. Any Banner after WPBIO will use listas. Any Category after DEFAULTSORT will DEFAULTSORT. If a BANNER is before WPBIO, it will not use listas. If a category is before DEFAULTSORT, it will not use DEFAULTSORT.

You did DEFAULTSORT wrong, yet you claim you didn't. Egads. Space after comma. 01 instead of I. No all caps.

I ONLY removed the anchor and fixed defaultsort this last time. So your accusations and snarky attitude are unwarranted. I don't appreciate your **** *** attitude. I've cleaned articles with 30+ anchors, not one of one was used. I've seen anchors with 10 values. I've seen cite web wither every paramerter lists, even thou most were unused because "they might be used on day". I fixed defaultsort and WPBIO that you did wrong, but claim you didn't and you tell me to get lost. You are just another typical, "I own this article, **** ***" *******.

Removing profanity.

Regarding your claims of repeatedly degrading the formatting of pages, well, you might eventually want to rethink that. You're not saving anyone any storage space (quite the opposite) and you're only degrading the article quality. If it's compulsive or the hostility it occasions starts to impact your real life off-site, you might seek some professional help. Good luck. — LlywelynII 18:46, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Side point: I've been around enough not to much care about the disrespect and profanity (fighting tar babies and all that) but your unhelpful editing and WP:BITING attitude is going to create an unwelcoming atmosphere for new editors. It'd be better if you rethought that. — LlywelynII 18:46, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
