I linked in [[Image:LPL Region Map.png]] and you removed the link as obsolete. Should that image be deleted or added to a "historical" page or a historical reference on the LA state page?

As of our recent state convention, that map is obsolete. We abolished the metro regions and that map is the metro regions. I am currently in the process of fulling updating the Louisiana Page as well as the Parish Committee's that exsist within Louisiana. This is a work in progress until after our next meeting in July. As far a Louisiana, im staying on top of things. Thanks for all your help. | As of our recent state convention, that map is obsolete. We abolished the metro regions and that map is the metro regions.

:Would this be as good a historical example of the defunct metro regions as any? What was their purpose, why were they dissolved, how frequently were they updated, and when were they first established? This seems like exactly the sort of thing we should document here. 8) -- [[User:Strangelv|Strangelv]] 13:11, 23 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
==Biographies== | |||
As you may have noticed, I've been using a bot to generate biographical stubs. Right now I'm trying to concentrate on people from the 1970s, but almost all of the real work is in assembling the CSV (spreadsheet) file. | |||
My current columns are: | |||
*FULLNAME -- fully presented name | |||
*NAME -- personal name, usually first name or nickname | |||
*LAST --last name | |||
*USE_FULL -- article name should be fully presented name, otherwise NAME and LAST will be used | |||
*GENDER -- not actually used at the moment but this may change. M, F, or blank. | |||
*DOB -- Month and/or year of birth, if known. May need to enter with an apostrophe -- such as 'April 1930 -- to get your spreadsheet to cooperate | |||
*DOD -- Month and/or year of when we lost them, if known and applicable. May need to enter with an apostrophe -- such as 'November 2000 | |||
*AGE -- not actually used right now, and not applicable for people who are still alive | |||
*MASTER LABEL -- candidate, candidate and activist, state chair, et c.; special handling if it's simply 'candidate' -- other special handling is pending. | |||
*SUMMARY -- A second paragraph. Ideally for stuff that isn't asked for elsewhere in the spreadsheet. | |||
*ORG POS -- organizational positions and when, separated by semicolons. such as: | |||
:Chair, Libertarian Party of Michigan, 1973;Vice Chair, Libertarian Party of Michigan, c. 1975;Chair, Libertarian Party of Michigan, 1975 - 1978 | |||
*DELEGATE -- delegate to what and when -- not actually used right now but would be easy to implement, otherwise I may depreciate it. | |||
*WORK -- this one gets slightly complicated. | |||
*CANDIDACIES -- offices they've run for and when, separated by semicolons such as: | |||
:U.S. Senate, North Dakota, 1974 (Independent);U.S. Senate, North Dakota, 1988 | |||
*PUB OFFICES -- public offices held with dates if known, separated by semicolons. | |||
*AFFILIATION -- organizational affiliations. Not presently used as everyone here would be 'libertarian' almost by definition (actually this won't be true if I stop exclusively picking people who are to feed into it). This won't be the case when I use this with other wikis, though | |||
*PROJECTS -- not used and I can't actually remember what this is here for. Possibly vestigial at this point. | |||
*LINKS -- links in he form of URL,description, separated by semicolons. | |||
*IMAGE -- name of image, if any. Image must be uploaded separately. | |||
*TALK -- add this to the talk page, in the format of heading,discussion, separated by semicolons for multiple topics. For example: | |||
:Question,Is this the same Kenneth Garber who's Director of Marketing for [[Cato]]? | |||
*QUOTES -- quotes attributed to this person, separated by semicolons. may need a solution for when the quote includes a semicolon... | |||
*REDIRECTS -- forms of this person's name that won't be automatically guessed by AutoBio | |||
Please let me know if you believe you can make use of this program. 8) Actually, if you can think of another sort of thing to automatically feed into a bot -- past examples here include US Presidents and County/Parish/Borough parties -- please let me know. All I'll need is the spreadsheet asd maybe column explanations to set the bot up to digest. | |||
Maybe I need to add the column descriptions to AutoBio's user page. -- [[User:Strangelv|Strangelv]] 13:11, 23 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
