Thanks so much! I'm reading them now, unless of course I crash my browser from having too many tabs open. So...I have a question: in the infobox Person tags [[1]] can you only do{{birth year}} as opposed to {{birth year and age}}? I have a birth year and a death date but am having problems tracking down records with the birthday. Birth year and age doesn't seem to make much sense when they are dead and I'm failing with {{birth year and age2}} only using the years. sigh, n00b. Thank you in advance for whatever help you can give. Geekery (talk) 20:28, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
