The idea was fine, and the image you uploaded is great, but this now has many one-sentence paragraphs, which is not what we strive for. Also, some deletions are questionable. --184.153.21.19 (talk) 04:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I didn't see anything in wp:blp that was relevant. As far as wp:notnews is concerned - that likewise strikes me as inapplicable. These are not a passing news story. But themes that are recurrent and central to her views.
Similarly, wp:toomuch is simply an essay. It is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines. It has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. And if applied as it was here, an editor could simply delete all manner of content that they did not want others to be aware of under that rubric .. their subjective view that content, RS-covered, is "excessive". These are her central, oft-repeated, RS-covered views on issues central to her notability. The bald assertion that it is "excessive detail" (or irrelevant or trivial) simply does not resonate here. I would urge reconsideration and restoration, as the only thing that strikes me as excessive here, frankly and with all due respect, is the large deletion. 184.153.21.19 (talk) 05:35, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There were also--less critical of course--a number of non-substantive changes that veered away from MOS, btw. Taking the italics off publications (such as The Jerusalem Post). Changing initial cap formatting, in a way that was not consistent with MOS. Also, some slight puffery, not supported by the RSs, that was added (words such as well-known, frequently, etc.), which is unnecessary and gives the flavor of not being encyclopedic - a flavor we want to avoid, as the content is not puffery, but rather encyclopedic. BTW, if you look at the Alan Dershowitz article, much longer as he is twice her age, you can see that it is appropriate to lay our the positions of an academic scholar. And when you cut out material such as where her parents met, and leave in that they immigrated to Britain, it begs the question as to where they immigrated from. Also, formerly inlined, you have taken the inlines off some names (Columbia Law School, Munk Debate, etc.). I'm not sure why that was thought to be an improvement, but they should be restored I would suggest. And I'm not sure why her Vizionary award was though appropriate for a "personal" section. If you can discover it, the article may also benefit from some standard information that it does not contain at the moment, such as where she was born, her religion, whether her father is Israeli, etc. Best. 184.153.21.19 (talk) 06:05, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're right. I researched her and then put together an alternate version in a doc that I integrated with this article. In bringing some of it over, I overrode the inline links, the italics, etc. I didn't consider this finished. Just a work in progress - I wll get back to improving this as per the the things you brought up which are already on my list. As for the award, I wasn't sure about creating an awards section with just 1 award so put it in personal. Would it be ok to have an awards section with just 1 award? MaskedSinger (talk) 06:11, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that would be OK. The rule I should mention, if you do so, is to still call it the plural -- Awards. That's simply a convention at the Project. But you can also slot it if you prefer under the Israel advocacy subsection. Either works - your preference. If you want to delete something as being cruft, you might consider "At university, Hausdorff was active in debate." Not much meat in that. 184.153.21.19 (talk) 06:16, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
