Unravelling

Just started to clean up this article and add citations when I noticed exact wording here: https://sedgwick2graham.wordpress.com/tag/michael-post/ Not sure if this article is copy or if that blog is, but requires some help unravelling. Netherzone (talk) 02:19, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That link no longer exists - it was apparently deleted by the author. Currently the article does not show any hits on copyvio. As such, I will remove the tag from the article for now. If new concerns are raised, we should certainly address them. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 18:20, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for following up on this and checking the article and removing the tag. Netherzone (talk) 00:47, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

The lede currently is

Edith Minturn Sedgwick Post (April 20, 1943 – November 16, 1971) was an American actress and fashion model. She is known for being one of Andy Warhol's superstars.[1] Sedgwick became known as "The Girl of the Year" in 1965 after starring in several of Warhol's short films in the 1960s.[2][3] She was dubbed an "It Girl",[4][5] while Vogue magazine also named her a "Youthquaker".[6]

An editor, Laurencebeck, is wanting to make some changes here, so here's a place for the matter to be discussed by all of us. My first impression is that the lede is OK as it, not broke don't fix. But willing to be convinced. Herostratus (talk) 09:37, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Herostratus, the change proposed doesn't seem encyclopedic. In particular, it is written non-neutrally, and contravenes the guideline WP:Words to watch. LK (talk) 10:26, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
