@ GoneIn60: I'm not sure why the clear policies of WP:LEAD needs further explanation. The guidelines say the lead section should summarize not supplant the article body. Details should be in the article body first. Not all details are WP:DUE additional extra emphasis in the lead section.
On the other matter of white spaces, while I understand that some editors do not like white space there is no good reason to format lists inconsistently within the same article and even the same Infobox. If you object to whitespaces it would be more consistent to remove them from all lists in the Infobox. (A key benefit of wiki markup is that is more easily human readable than other markup such as XML, it seems a misunderstanding of the history of wiki to not want clearer markup with tidy spacing. Also any performance benefit of a little less whitespace is not worth worrying about WP:DWAP.) -- 109.76.128.3 ( talk) 04:30, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
IP editor: Wikipedia guidelines state that the introductory section of an article (known as the lead) should summarize the content of the article. The paragraph that you have added appears to be original research that does not summarize what is in the article. There is no discussion of "Black familial tropes, artistry versus commerciality, identity in the face of failure, and artistic integrity" in the article body. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 07:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Did you not read the whole section on Wright? WP:PUFFERY and WP:NPOVI did, which is why I tagged the section with {{ over-quotation}}. And, after I added that tag, a new editor, @ Winterblanket333, started making significant cuts and toning down the language. I would be fine with tagging the section with NPOV and puffery tags as well, but I don't think that content containing cites to several reliable sources should be removed before editors have an opportunity to fix it. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 10:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
It feels redundant to have the same pictures of Wright and Brown repeated in the Critical response section (they are already pictured in the cast section). I think it would be best to just remove those images from the Critical response section. -- 109.76.203.128 ( talk) 13:06, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
I have no idea which came first, but, if it is the IMDB section, I feel that the source should at least be acknowledged here. 2601:646:9601:11A0:9D6B:A350:ABDD:59DC ( talk) 19:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
