Hello, I'm GenQuest. I noticed that you recently removed content from Shelley Malil without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored.

Adding "Polish-born" in the lead
According to Wikipedia's Manual of Style/Biographies, "previous nationalities or the place of birth should not be mentioned in the lead unless they are relevant to the subject's notability." The default address prior to the description is always the subject's nationality and nothing more. According to Wikipedia's rules, "[the context] will mean the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if the person is notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable." Given that the Warner Brothers were American immigrants and furthermore, Americans, when they achieved their successes as notable studio executives, the place of birth and previous nationalities are not directly relevant to the lead. They are, of course, important facts in and of themselves, and hence elaborated upon further down in the article when describing birthplace and childhood. If we begin to add birth-place and /or previous nationality, why stop there? We would have to add in their place of upbringing and a variety of other factors to the lead as well. This would lower the quality of the lead and make it less to-the-point. 74.110.121.49 (talk) 11:47, 3 January 2018 (UTC) User74
