Questions about famous people from Stone Mills
Who is the most famous person from Stone Mills?
Weston Price (American dentist) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come Sir Gilbert Parker, 1st Baronet and Charles Jones.
How many famous people were born in Stone Mills?
Wikidata counts 17 born here, but only those an article confirms are listed.
What is Stone Mills known for?
50% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 22%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Stone Mills?
Allen Bristol Aylesworth (1854). At the other end, the youngest was born in 1910.
Who counts as from Stone Mills?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside Stone Mills’ municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), counting its hospitals and districts, and an English or French Wikipedia article has to say the same. Adult performers, people known mostly for crimes and anyone who only lived here stay off the list.
Why is someone missing?
Wikidata may give their birthplace only as Canada or a province, as a rural area or hamlet without a page here, or as another town; or their article may name a different place, or none. Only people both sources agree on are listed, and a fix on Wikidata or Wikipedia shows up here at the next refresh.
Birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations and the count of Wikipedia and sister-site articles come from Wikidata (CC0). Each birthplace is checked against the person’s English Wikipedia article, or the French one where English says nothing or has no article; the articles are linked, never quoted. Wikidata’s Statistics Canada code, the place’s name or its point inside the 2021 census outline puts a birth in a town, and a birth given only as a split city stays on that city’s page. Fields are read from the description and occupations, and the list runs by number of articles. “The usual town” is everyone listed across Canadian towns.
