Talk:Shyne

message: Currently we can add pictures related to specific events in his career, but there is no free-content image that we can use in the info box as yet.  Shyne never had much time to tour or even make many rounds in the media since he was immediately thrust into his court battle.  And most pictures taken were either promotional pics or news photos from the trial. If anyone can check out Wiki Commons, get the template to request permission for use of a good photo to use for the infobox, pleas help.  I may try myself soon though.

message: The text "and convicted criminal" has been repeatedly been removed from the lead:     . So instead of edit warring over it, could we have a discussion about it ()? Thanks. Kovcszaln6 (talk) 17:11, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: What is your obsession to highlight that in the lead? OLBZ (talk) 18:16, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: A few editors like me restored that because the edits removing it didn't explain in the edit summary, see Wikipedia:Content removal. It is cited and the crimes look like a major part of his life. ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 18:39, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

text:  You've again replaced the "convicted criminal" part with "philanthropist" with no justification other than... "Added content". Since "philanthropist" is cited, maybe why not both? The article focuses more on the convictions than his philanthropy, though. ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 06:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: On second thought, these sources for the "philanthropist" label dont seem to be very reliable, , they don't mention "philanthropy" or "philanthropist", they just list examples in which Shyne supposedly gave money. Using this as a premise for concluding that he is a philanthropist appears to be original research, which is prohibited on Wikipedia. I might revert later if OLBZ fails to discuss. ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 10:41, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: MOS:OPENPARABIO states "try to not overload the first sentence by describing everything notable about the subject; instead, spread relevant information over the lead paragraph". He should not be described as a philanthropist in the opening sentence based on the sources included, and especially given there is no other mention of philanthropy in the article. ITBF (talk) 11:09, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the last part was also what I thought. You can tweak that first sentence if/as you find appropriate, I don't have much knowledge of the subject. ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 11:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
