Languages of Subjects of Biographies

In many biographies, it would be very useful to list the languages which the subject knew in order to help readers appreciate the cultures to which he/she had direct access and made direct contributions to. This is especially true of internationally active public figures, thinkers, and scholars. POR613 (talk) 18:51, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Please re-evaluate article rating?

Team, I recently significantly expanded the article from FRED FRANKHOUSE from 3 uncited lines to what it is currently. I'm asking that the article be reevaluated for class rating, and for suggestions as to what I can do to improve the article. Thanks. --JGHSMC (talk) 04:38, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

 Not done as you are in the wrong place, since this page is only to discuss improvements to Portal:Biography .
This is not the place to post suggested articles; please try articles for creation - however, you will need to show there has been significant coverage, in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. - Arjayay (talk) 19:21, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Status report from the Portals WikiProject

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.

Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.

As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. — The Transhumanist 3:26 am, 30 April 2018, Monday (1 month, 4 days ago) (UTC+0)

Sorry if I'm putting this in the wrong place. If there's a better place I should put this; please help

On the talk page of a biographical article about a judge named George Grimm, on 11/23/18, I asked a question I consider important. Unfortunately I'm guessing the article doesn't get a lot of traffic; but as I say the question is important to me, so I'm linking to the talk page here in hopes that more eyes will see it/ maybe some1 knows, or will become curious/look into it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:George_GrimmSlarty1 (talk) 18:36, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
