Mohamed Hadid

Which parameter should I use instead (of nationality)? MOS:INFONAT doesn't suggest any. If we remove "nationality" without any option, that seems quite unfair? Huldra (talk) 22:14, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Huldra: Well, not sure what you were trying to say in that comment, but doesn't MOS:INFONAT state, "A |citizenship= field can be used ..."? Thedarkknightli (talk) 04:07, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, as you can see in Mohamed Hadid, his citizenship= United States, Jordan. There is no field stating his ethnicity/nationality, and what he self-defines as, namely Palestinian, after you removed it. Please suggest a solution to that problem, thanks, Huldra (talk) 20:18, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How about changing the lead sentence to "... American real estate developer of Palestinian origin"? Thedarkknightli (talk) 21:04, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't we have that in the info-box? Some would argue that is more important that what country gives you a passport, after all, Huldra (talk) 22:10, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, besides MOS:INFONAT, we have MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE, which states, "... an article should remain complete with its infobox ignored. The less information that an infobox contains, the more effectively it serves its purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance." Thedarkknightli (talk) 22:31, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And you just removed a major point about him from the info-box. I'm undoing. If you want to remove it, please start a RfC, Huldra (talk) 23:21, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	I was pleasantly surprised to see your edit at Salman Rushdie to enforce an RFC consensus even though that consensus did not match your personal preference (at least at that point in time). You have earned this barnstar for demonstrably upholding wiki-values and setting a good example for fellow editors. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 22:31, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wow thank you so much, @Abecedare! Cheers. Thedarkknightli (talk) 23:00, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
