"Thunberg received no money from the company and terminated her volunteer advisor role with WDHT once she realized they were making money from her name." - from Greta's facebook post. so we are just taking her words as the truth now? shouldn't it say she "claims" she received no money until she shows a respected journalist her finances and they report on it? 27.125.250.174 (talk) 10:22, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done Good point, thank you. Change made to reflect it is her contention. I could not find an independents source (but I didn't put much time into searching). That'sNotMyName2020(talk) 04:20, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Saying that someone claims something violates WP:CLAIM. The word is "said". Johnuniq (talk) 05:09, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed - I went with "stated" as, to be a bit pedantic, "said" implies verbal communication and this was written. WaggersTALK 10:44, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The prose template was added by user FMSky(talk) to three sections on Thunberg's page suggesting that the tagged sections may read better as prose instead of list format. The sections tagged are: Further activism in Europe and end of sabbatical year, Post-COVID-19 pandemic, and Post-high school graduation.
Let's get a consensus on whether to shift away from list format to prose. My opinion is that Thunberg's notable activities are more suited for list format rather than prose—but I could just be lazy. That'sNotMyName2020(talk) 17:43, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Removed prose templates from Thunberg's page due to no comments on the matter. That'sNotMyName2020(talk) 10:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I missed this conversation. Those sections are already prose so you were right to remove the templates. They do read as a bit listy and can certainly be improved into better prose but there's a difference between WP:PL issues and bullet-point lists. WaggersTALK 10:54, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @Waggers for your input. I agree that it's "a bit listy and can certainly be improved into better prose." Famous last words: One of these days I'm a-gonna do it. 🤔 That'sNotMyName2020(talk) 14:48, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
