Mentioning sisters and family in second sentence of lead

edit

I was hoping that you would initiate the talk page discussion, Andreasegde, as I explicitly asked for your rational for your revert. Instead you chose to simply revert again. I ask that you not do that until we've at least made our cases.

The other night I was thinking about your revert as I was having difficulty falling asleep. I tried to build an argument for keeping the sentence as you would like and build an argument against my point of view. I simply could not do it. So unless there is something obvious that I was not taking into account, I maintain that the sentence should be removed. Here is my reasoning:

The lead should summarize the most vital aspects of the subject. Unless there's some special reason in Julia's case, the number of siblings one has is not vital information. If this were vital information, just about every biographic article would have it in the lead, which seems rather silly. The natural place for this type of supplementary information seems to be near the beginning of a the biography section. Which it is! I am slightly disappointed that you are reverting my edits without addressing my redundancy concern. To say sentence X and have a sentence Y only about 10 sentences away that says the same thing is clearly bad style. So my edit seems to fix two birds with one stone.

In the interest of keeping this short, I will stop here and wait for your response. It is certainly possible you know something important about her that upsurps my point of view. And if there is, I'm curious what it would be. Jason Quinn (talk) 13:17, 19 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'm surprised you take it so seriously. The fact that her own sister badgered her to have control of Lennon is sufficient reason to include the sisters in the lede, as well as the fact that Lennon said the sisters were "five, fantastic, strong, beautiful, and intelligent women". He said it, not me.--andreasegde (talk) 10:23, 20 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Grave

edit

The sentences referring to her grave merit clarification in that initially it was described in present tense as an unmarked gravesite (I have modified this by stating it was unmarked 'for some time'), then there appear sentences successively referring to decision to erect a gravestone, and erection and description of the gravestone. If someone could put a date to the erection, the timescale would be measurable to the reader. (Not local person.)Cloptonson (talk) 19:42, 21 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Beatles RfC

edit

You are invited to participate in an RfC at Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/The Beatles on the issue of capitalising the definite article when mentioning that band's name in running prose. This long-standing dispute is the subject of an open mediation case and we are requesting your help with determining the current community consensus. Thank you for your time. For the mediators. ~ GabeMc (talk|contribs) 21:49, 22 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
