Incomplete / Alphabetical discrimination?[edit]

This article got off to a reasonable start, but the list peters out around the names beginning with "H". The original contributors are encouraged to complete the list, with or without the help of other editors knowledgeable about Emerson people. Reify-tech (talk) 13:11, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Reify-tech: That was my fault. I started it, then had to head off on a wikibreak. Back now and it's on my to do list. Anybody who wants to help can do what I was doing: going through Category:Emerson College alumni and Category:Emerson College faculty, checking out each one, and adding it with appropriate information. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:15, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

I added Bill Knott to the list, but because of the way the list is set up, when you click on the link it brings you to a disambiguation page instead of his actual page, which is Bill Knott (poet). If there's some way to fix that, please do. Thanks. --Rosekelleher (talk) 20:57, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Rosekelleher: Done. For future reference, the "sortname" template used in the list can take a third parameter which points to that actual article name. So I replaced what you added with {{sortname|Bill|Knott|Bill Knott (poet)}} --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:49, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
