Lead

I think most leads of film actors do have a first paragraph which is more about achievements, awards, and standing in the film industry; then a summary of the career; then the rest, like, in this case, citizenship. I agree that everything pertaining to his Canadian citizenship, which was well-researched by Fowler&fowler, should be given a paragraph of its own, but other than that everything is okay there. I spent quite some time halting the other user's attempts to turn to lead into journalistic fancruft. I think now it's more balanced, and if there's any problem with particular instances, let's discuss them. Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:38, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's repetition. Some awards are mentioned in the lead paragraph and again later; one of the national awards which is the "fourth-highest civilian honour" now no longer says that. There's way too much WP:BOOSTER. The WP:ONUS is on you too as the adding editor, not on my as the deleting. Please do not edit war. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 11:45, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you and the other editor don't dial down the hagiography in the lead, I will dial is down drastically tomorrow. It is not my job to come cleaning up after you. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 11:48, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fowler&fowler: No one is edit warring. I've been a frequent contributor of this article for years now, and I spent time working on the lead. Maybe you should think about not edit warring yourself. I am inviting you to discuss. Let's fix those issues which we agree on, but the lead as it is, particularly the two paragraphs summarising his career are well written now. Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:49, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:ONUS. It is not mine. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 11:52, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, if you don't dial down no matter how you rationalize your right to exaggerate, I will dial it down tomorrow. Last post here until tomorrow. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 11:53, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fowler&fowler: Do as you wish, but please - do not use threats. Please read WP:EDIT WAR, by the way, it's not just restricted to full revert. No one owns the article, and your point of view does not hold more merit than others'. Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:57, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fowler&fowler: Actually it is. The lead is a summary of the article now, and everything is properly sources. Give examples of "hagiography", I'll clean them up. I've just removed a part which gives him unnecessary "of the most..." credit. Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:54, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not keep pinging me; otherwise, I will add you to my "silenced" list. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 11:56, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your silenced list? Really? Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:57, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
