message: Is there any reason why the categories section at the bottom of this article includes: 'Male actors from Connecticut' and 'Male actors from Wisconsin' when it's clear to anyone that Mark Rylance is 'from' neither of those places? The article doesn't even talk about his living arrangements, but if he is residing in the U.S. he's not 'from' there, even if he officially immigrates. He can't also be 'from' several places; only 'in' some of them and 'from' one.
I don't see why it's even noteworthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.130.113.142 (talk) 22:05, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

message: :His maternal grandfather, Osmond Skinner, spent decades as a banker with the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank. After being shot in the stomach during the Battle of Hong Kong, he was recuperating when he witnessed the St. Stephen's College massacre. He then spent four years in a POW camp. He was able to survive thanks to HSBC contacts who brought him food. He has a sister named Susannah, an opera singer and author; and a brother, Jonathan, who is a sommelier.
At what point do we stop referring to the grandfather and start referring to Rylance? I'm guessing it's at "He has…” If that's true, a new paragraph should probably start there, with "Rylance" in place of "He". In any case, it should be clarified, IMHO.

replies: text:  The switch is after the reference. One reference is about Rylance's grandparents and his grandfather's adventures, the other about Rylance himself having a brother and sister. Although this is logical enough, i agree that in a casual reading of the text this may come over ambiguous. Debresser (talk) 16:23, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

message: Should the opening line of the article contain the phrase "who has lived, studied, and worked extensively in the United States" and three sources? 2A00:23C7:2B86:9801:7183:2FED:A175:2EA1 (talk) 08:40, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The opening line should be returned to the original summary of the subject: that Rylance "" The three sources shouldn't be in the lead - the information should be sourced in the article. – The editor formally known as , editing from 2A00:23C7:2B86:9801:7183:2FED:A175:2EA1 (talk) 08:40, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

text: *The RFC is not malformed. We have gone through the discussion above, where there was no agreement and one was not likely to come. As to this RFC being in bad faith, I think that is a spurious claim and you should think hard about striking the accusation: asking the community for their input is not acting in bad faith. You stalking me to other discussions, is a dubious step for an editor to take, and I'm both disgusted and chilled by it. - 2A00:23C7:2B86:9801:655C:41A2:7382:EE32 (talk) 14:45, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

text: *: - Agreement must not be unanimous. Good wiki-conduct would tell us to wait for unrelated users to weigh in naturally. Since Wiki's project is never done, and there is no time limit. An RFC in this situation is fine, but there were definitely better ways to resolve it. And this particular form of RFC is not comprehensively worded or neutrally presented. It does not represent the original dispute (whether to include "American" at all), nor does it present the compromise based on the sources. That is my issue with it. See this applicable discussion on user talk, where it is appropriately placed. Such discussion is off topic here. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 15:34, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @Ssilvers - Would you consider that it may be placed elsewhere in the lead, but not in the first sentence? Such as in the second or third paragraph, styled slightly differently but with similar sourcing? This would be an appropriate compromise imo. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 15:42, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Shibbolethink.  I think it would be appropriate to add the following at the beginning of the last paragraph of the Lead: "Rylance was raised in the US from age 2 to 18."   We don't need anything else about this, as the lead already notes that Rylance performed on Broadway and in some Hollywood films. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:05, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds good to me. I might want to write, ". But I really think that's just stylistic, a minor difference from your sentence. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 17:05, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

text: *No I think that placing it in the opening line would give WP:UNDUE to this information. It belongs father down in the article. Dobblestein 🎲 🎲 talk 20:08, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

text: *No – him living as a child in the US is only mentioned briefly in the article and not of significant importance. The clause should not be in the lead sentence or lead because of the guideline MOS:LEADCLUTTER and the policy WP:PROPORTION/MOS:LEADREL. --Guest2625 (talk) 01:11, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
