A fact from John Turner (miser) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 April 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Re the removal of dates: giving the lifespan of a biography subject's parents and spouse 1. identifies them from others of the same name, 2. shows whether they died before the biography subject, that aspect being an important part of their lives. In this case the spouse was much younger than the biography subject, she outlived him, and she and her family erected a fine memorial to him, in spite of the way in which he had behaved. So dates and age count in a biography. Storye book (talk) 11:04, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
