| Should the article include a brief mention noting that in 2020 Pablo Hidalgo received criticism over the “emotions are not to be shared” comment and later apologized, based on coverage in Variety, TheWrap, and Deseret News?
For reference, the proposed sentences are: In 2020, Hidalgo received criticism after posting "emotions are not to be shared" in response to online discussion of a fan’s emotional reaction to the season two finale of The Mandalorian. He later apologized, stating that the comment had been intended as sarcastic self-mockery and that he had not meant to hurt anyone. Relevant sources:

| There is disagreement over whether it is appropriate to describe Stella O’Malley as an “anti-trans activist” in the lead. The sources do not refer to her as such overall. Some use “anti-trans” language, but often in attributed statements or activist commentary. Other reliable secondary sources do not use this characterisation, instead describing her views and activities in more neutral terms.
Given that this is a biography of a living person and a potentially contentious characterisation, the question is whether the available sourcing is sufficiently clear, consistent and high-quality to support the use of “anti-trans activist” in wikivoice in the lead. Should this wording be included in the lead on the basis of the current sources? Editors are invited to comment with reference to WP:BLP, WP:RS, and WP:DUE.

Talk:FBI files on Michael Jackson
| Would welcome input into how Wikipedia readers should navigate the topic of sexual abuse allegations made (not saying they are true) against Michael Jackson. A navigation box like this (see box above this) that I have drafted? A list page? A category? There are 13 named accusers scattered across these pages but it is hard to find the information. |
