Short descriptions

Hello! I see you have added (or imported from wikidata) short descriptions on some Biographies of living persons (BLPs) using the Shortdescription Helper tool; but the additions I noted didn't include dates. The advice I've seen is to include them (if known); but I think technically they are just "encouraged" not "mandatory", as seen on the Short Descriptions page. (You can find discussion of this, with examples, further down the page at WP:SDDATES.)

I'm just a novice, so I'm still learning. I did add dates to a few of your entries, like for Nadia El Fani. Hope you are well. —Yogabear2020 (N.B. NoviceEditor; Talk) 01:52, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

As I think about it: perhaps wikidata has different parameters? I'm still learning. Another guide I've followed is found at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Short descriptions. Bye again. — Yogabear2020 (N.B. NoviceEditor; Talk) 02:04, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Yogabear2020! Good thinking there. Your assessment is correct. Assem Khidhr (talk) 22:04, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Great! and good to know. Thanks for the positive reply. —Yogabear2020 (N.B. NoviceEditor; Talk) 23:43, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
