A news item involving Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the In the news section on 9 April 2021.

Can someone please look to restrict editing on this page please? It seems as though we're likely to see a lot of trolls, given the news that the Prince has died today. I would, but I'm not sure how. Thanks! 2A02:C7F:A6BB:300:3435:5B62:EDA2:90BC (talk) 11:41, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is already semi-protected, meaning that accounts that are not confirmed cannot edit this article. Sincerely, Deauthorized. (talk) 11:45, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done... yet. There's been a bit of vandalism—we might want short-term ECP if that continues, but I'd prefer to leave it on semi for now. —Tom Morris (talk) 11:48, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For the Spouse section, could you change it to (m. 1947; died 2021) Schamin82729 (talk) 11:59, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just reverted an edit that did this here, since I thought it suggested that her Majesty the Queen (rather than Philip) had died. I reverted it kind of hastily but wasn't 100% sure. Is this protocol? Local Variable (talk) 12:04, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You were correct. It should stay as is. DrKay (talk) 12:06, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @DrKay: and, while I'm at it, sorry about the earlier edit conflict. I was about to re-add your change but you beat me to it. Local Variable (talk) 12:13, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While it's standard to use the most recent and good image for the infobox when a person is alive, it is also standard to change this and depict them as they are best known after death. So the question is simple: is Philip best known looking as he does in the current 2015 image. He was very old for a very long time, but he was also in the public eye for a very long time. I think there are two realistic options, the current and the 1992 photo. Kingsif (talk) 12:16, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The 1992 portrait has always been the best choice. Surtsicna (talk) 12:30, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Peter Ormond (talk) 12:31, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The 1992 photo appears much more encyclopedic, so that one should be used, I think.E0126E (talk) 12:33, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Count me as one who is also in favour of the 1992 image, at least until a better - and earlier - photo becomes available for Wikipedia. --Thescrubbythug (talk) 12:41, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to 1992 photo, with no prejudice against further discussion. Kingsif (talk) 12:45, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that is a fine photo by Allan Warren! Not too young, not too old, strong and dignified. Part of me would like to see one of His Highness in full regalia or military dress uniform, but civilian clothes have a more modern feel. Support the 1992 photo.

Concurrent edit, sorry. Pelagic ( messages ) – (23:52 Fri 09, AEDT) 12:52, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should we be grateful or worried that people are creating new accounts to request changes which have already been attended to? (See the recently archived posts, if it's not immediately obvious to what I am referring.) Pelagic ( messages ) – (23:35 Fri 09, AEDT) 12:35, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's not causing any harm (besides blocking a talk page, which archiving can resolve), and we can only hope they stick around to improve other articles. Net positive, probably, as is wont with any RD of note. Kingsif (talk) 12:41, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pelagic I guess Google Knowledge Graph hadn't updated, and because some of the text is taken from Wikipedia, the Knowledge Graph has a Wikipedia link, so people tend to come to Wikipedia to complain about it (even though it's Google's fault). Looks like Google have added the date of death now, so hopefully fewer people will complain here.

I'm still impressed people manage to create an account to change it themselves, then get told their account is too new to make edits, then find out how to make edit requests, all without noticing the actual WP article is updated. Kingsif (talk) 12:46, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
