Occupations edit

Hello @65.94.62.198:

About the edit in which I removed most of the occupations listed in the lead paragraph, I have removed those because of a Wikipedia guideline stating that we should emphasize what made the person notable and that incidental and non-noteworthy roles (i.e. activities that are not integral to the person's notability) should usually not be mentioned in the lead paragraph. While she may be active on TikTok, YouTube, and has a career in modelling and directing, she is not notable for doing any of these things (except perhaps directing, I wasn't sure whether to remove this) but she is only notable as an actress (as the remainder of the article and the sources used suggest), we should not mentions these other occupations in the lead paragraph.

For example, actress Reese Witherspoon is fairly active on TikTok, yet the lead paragraph of her article does not list her as a TikToker, as her TikTok account is not the reason of her notability.

Furthermore, the documentation for the infobox used in the article states that the value of the occupation parameter (i.e. the text written after the occupation= on line 12) should be the occupation(s) as given in the lead.

I have reverted the edit adding these occupations back for now, but feel free to discuss this issue if you think there is a good reason to put these occupations there. --Kzkzb (talk) 14:42, 3 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
