I reverted your changes that were noted with MOS:FIRSTBIO. Removing the “Oscar-winning” parts from a first sentence should not be necessary, assuming they really did win an Academy Award. MOS:FIRSTBIO makes this clear in points (4) and (5) about “First Sentence”: “4) One, or possibly more, noteworthy positions, activities, or roles that the person is mainly known for, avoiding subjective or contentious terms.” 5) The main reason the person is notable (key accomplishment, record, etc.)”
And although it is a draft, working towards a proposal for Wikipedia policy, this guideline for Awards makes it clear that the standard of Academy Awards is notable enough that it can be considered a defining achievement for a lead:
Wikipedia:Awards and accolades
“In order to qualify for inclusion in the lead paragraph, the award or accolade must be of sufficient significance that it contributes to the notability of the subject, or would normally be mentioned in even a short biography. The Academy Awards are the canonical example: "Oscar-winning actor" is a common term of art. Some WikiProjects may consider that induction into certain curated halls of fame also qualifies, when this is covered by third-party sources.
I hope you will consider this reversion of your change in good faith, and thank you for your careful years of wikipedia editing. 87.7.254.44 ( talk) 19:03, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
Re this edit/revert -- I am not following this at all closely and I make no claim of expertise, but I notice that you are also updating this map, and did so on January 3. I observe that the most recent update to the map changed South Sudan, and that country in particular is colored differently in the map and in the tables in this article; your revert here changed the color of that country in the tables. It would not surprise me if there were other differences. It may be that I've gon crosseyed trying to check this, but I thought I would mention it.

- For states with provisional governments like South Sudan, beige and grey are the colors used on the table and map, respectively. That discrepancy has stood long before my activity on the page – maybe an editor thought black text on grey tables would be too unreadable by comparison? Clyde H.

I completely agree with your edit to WP:No queerphobia, as the addition was incredibly inappropriate, but your edit summary is a little misleading. Pages in the project namespace are not required to adhere to a neutral point of view, which is what lead me to review your edit when it appeared in my watchlist.
This is just meant as a friendly reminder of policy, not a chastisement in any way. Adam Black talk • contribs 01:28, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
