| WP:BLPLEAD states "The lead sentence should describe the person as he or she is commonly described in reliable sources." Referring to how Michael Jackson was described by the reliable sources (as quoted above), what should the lead sentence (or lead paragraph) state? Note also that WP:LEADSENTENCE states: "Try to not overload the first sentence by describing everything notable about the subject. Instead use the first sentence to introduce the topic, and then spread the relevant information out over the entire lead." LK (talk) 04:07, 18 July 2017 (UTC) |
| We have two images of Mr. Quaid on Commons, as shown in the talk page section directly above. Which should we use in the article on Mr. Quaid? KDS4444 (talk) 01:45, 17 July 2017 (UTC) |
| Can someone explain to me the problem with linking Album#Studio in this article? Using this page's history as a reference. Is it okay to link it? Horizonlove (talk) 13:30, 7 July 2017 (UTC) |
| Multiple WP:RS call Donald Trump a Liar.
The article already states that many of his public statements during the campaign were controversial or false 1. Should the article assume intent and call statements lies, where justified and sourced by WP:RS? 2. Should the article follow WP:RSes, assume that Trump has an intent to deceive, and refer to him as a liar? For Reference: per https://www.merriam-webster.com/ Liar: a person who tells lies has a reputation as a liar Lie: to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive |
| This page needs to be updated with the new information. In 2011, the Mary Jane Girls began touring again with original member Candice Grant; along with new members Val Young and Farah Melanson. This lineup also received a honorary HAL Award. However when I try to update this page with that information, User:Binksternet keeps reverting it off the page. There are several websites ([1], [2], as well as their official facebook [3]) all acknowledge the new Mary Jane Girls lineup. Another group consisting of Kimberly 'Maxi' Wuletich and Cheri Wells are touring as "MJG feat. Original Mary Jane Girls Maxi & Cheri".[4], [5], [6] I have also added this information to the page, but to no avail because Binksternet has also reverted that.

| Context: There has been an infobox on this page from 2008 (with the page being created in 2003). Two editors above have suggested removal, with one going ahead and removing it.
Page with infobox Page without infobox Question: Should the infobox be removed from Harry Lauder? Also, what about a collapsible infobox? jcc (tea and biscuits) 12:36, 2 July 2017 (UTC) |
Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biographies
Should the style of music be listed in the lead for singers primarily known for a single genre? And should the wording of the style guideline be changed to include what is agreed upon?
Please note the discussion that started above. JDDJS (talk) 22:23, 1 July 2017 (UTC) |
| Is the statement in the introduction of this article: 'Often considered the best player in the world and regarded by some as the greatest of all time' appropriate for C. Ronaldo?
Like I pointed out: you can find a 'source' for pretty much every claim, but making a statement like this in the introduction of an article gives it the impression as if it's the majority view and an obvious fact. I gave the - rather cynical - example of the painter Bob Ross. What if you can find someone who thinks Bob Ross is the greatest painter of all time, is that enough to make a statement like: some consider him to be the greatest painter of all time? This seems absurd to me, but it is the logical consequence if it's possible to say 'C. Ronaldo is the greatest of all time' when only one or two writers are claiming this. So when is it possible to make statements like 'regarded as the greatest of all time' or 'regarded by some to be the greatest'? When are the sources sufficient?

| There has been a dispute about edits made by myself from the subject of the article.
What do you think about the recent edits (resignation from liberal democrats and drink driving), Should they stay? Thanks. Moist towelett (talk) 01:16, 29 June 2017 (UTC) |
| I see there has been some scuffling over his inclusion in this article. I would argue he is worth inclusion, since he was part of a successful musical act and met WP:RY at the time of his death, but since there have been like 3 removals and reinsertions of him I'm starting a thread here to gain consensus.
