Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to Dominic Cummings, do not conform to our policies.

He has been diagnosed right? 2A02:C7F:9E36:BE00:9D2F:B0E4:79D6:B0B8 (talk) 13:11, 12 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, and that is included in the article but is not significant enough to appear in the lead section. Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 13:19, 12 April 2020 (UTC)


 * My mistake, he has not actually been diagnosed (as far as we know) – it was only announced that he was displaying symptoms. Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 13:32, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

What have I done? 2A02:C7F:9E36:BE00:9D2F:B0E4:79D6:B0B8 (talk) 15:09, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Don't be so eager to prominently display (hopefully) passing illnesses in the first sentence of a biography. It comes across as a bit ghoulish.  Acroterion   (talk)   15:18, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

How so?2A02:C7F:9E36:BE00:9D2F:B0E4:79D6:B0B8 (talk) 16:46, 12 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Do you see "cancer patient" or "sinus infection sufferer" in the lede of a biography? No. Don't put mention of illnesses in the lead sentence of articles, it's at best insensitive, and definitely unencyclopedic.  Acroterion   (talk)   17:10, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
