Ursula von der Leyen
You may see that I removed your addition of material about the EU/UK spat from Ursula von der Leyen, really because it is a detail in the wider picture of her management (or otherwise) of the EU's vaccine programme. The material you added was valid in itself but it had no context: it only makes sense in the context of the wider picture but at present the article lacks such a picture. So when you or someone else writes a big picture section, you can rescue your text from the history of the article and re-add it. (But without the sentence that depends on a citation from the Daily Express, which Wikipedia does not accept as a reliable source – see table at Reliable sources/Perennial sources.)

Please bear in mind that the article is primarily a biography, not a history of her Presidency of the Commission. Clearly her performance in that role is very relevant to her 'life story' but equally we can't explore every loose thread. I guess what would be more relevant is her ill-judged, seemingly 'off the cuff' decisions like threatening to invoke Article 14 of the Northern Ireland Protocol and threatening to block vaccine exports without explaining (a) the international convention that disapproves of such behaviour and (b) that is exactly what the US and UK have already been doing. But our no original research policy says that I can't just write that from my own observations, that it has to be very well founded on reliable sources. Another policy, biography of living persons, sets very high standards of evidence and neutral point of view for such articles.

I hope you found this helpful and not too patronising! Welcome again to Wikipedia. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 10:59, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
