Talk:William T. Perkins, Jr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Persondata "infobox" — repeated info removed
I removed the following Persondata "infobox" which had been placed at the bottom of the article.
- It contains no additional information to that in the {{tl:Infobox Military Person}}
- It did not show up in the article. (Template not functioning correctly??)
The exact text is here ("nowiki" tag added to make visible):
{{Persondata |NAME=Perkins, William Thomas, Jr. |ALTERNATIVE NAMES= |SHORT DESCRIPTION=[[United States Marine]] recipient of the [[Medal of Honor]] |DATE OF BIRTH=[[August 10]] [[1947]] |PLACE OF BIRTH=[[Rochester, New York]] |DATE OF DEATH=[[October 12]] [[1967]] |PLACE OF DEATH=[[Quang Tri]], [[Vietnam]] }}

- It's not actually supposed to show up in the article ;-)
- {{Persondata}} is (was?) meant as a way of automatically extracting certain biographical data from articles; the full description is here. I have no idea what the status of that project is, though. Kirill Lokshin 04:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
