Personal Life and Death

No section on Personal Life and Death, not even a mention of what he died from.? --169.0.4.50 (talk) 15:51, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are you hoping for details about his family? His daughter maybe?

Quotes in lead?

Are quotes in lead really needed?--169.0.96.111 (talk) 11:04, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removed multiple possessive pronouns

I removed all "hises" but the first from the opening sentence of "His beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, his scat singing, his bent horn, pouched cheeks, and his light-hearted personality provided some of bebop's most prominent symbols." Could anyone please tell me if it's okay to list something like "his table, his chair, and his lamp" in a sentence, or if it's more acceptable to just use the possessive pronoun once? Also, sorry to be passive-aggressive to whoever wrote that sentences, or just the "hises", in my edit note. I originally wrote a [of this] on the help desk, but then deleted it.--Thylacine24 (talk) 16:46, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
