Would it be possible to create a standard for listing the birth-death in a person's article?  Some have the dates in parentheses, so have b./d., some have a hyphen, etc.  I think deciding on a unified way of presenting the info would clean up the articles.  [[User:LiamG|LiamG]] 05:11, 12 October 2008 (EDT)

Ok, I propose this format:

<blockquote> '''PersonName''' (b. FullDate - d. FullDate) ... </blockquote>
 +

FullDate meaning all the information we have in the Month Day, Year format (and the blockquoting is just to set apart my example from the rest of my post).  Is this all right?  Are there any objections?  I think it would definitely unify our articles if we had some sort of set format.  [[User:LiamG|LiamG]] 14:09, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
