There seem to be significant potential issues with weight here, along with things like the use of the pejortive term WAG and borderline 1E issues. I don't have time to go over this immediately, but I've flagged it because of the way this reads like a hit piece towards a living person, which rings alarm bells if nothing else. - Bilby ( talk) 01:06, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
To hell with neutrality, anti-vaxxers are dangerous lunatics and do not deserve the benefit of the doubt, especially when they have blood on their hands. 110.174.239.155 ( talk) 14:35, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
I say issue a edit lock on this Taylor Winterstein given how politically polarized the 2019 Samoan Measles outbreak has been connected to her though. — Preceding

At last count I was counting 50 useable RS news items covering Taylor Winterstein, over 90% about her and vax. Mostly mainstream news outlets, from over the world and many with national coverage. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Taylor+Winterstein%22&client=firefox-b-m&tbm=nws CatCafe ( talk) 08:17, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

@ Akrasia25:, I removed citations in {{ Infobox person}} per WP:INFOBOXREF which states: "References are acceptable in some cases, but generally not needed in infoboxes if the content is repeated (and cited) elsewhere or if the information is obvious" (emphasis added). Infoboxes simply summarize and repeat crucial information already in the article, similar to MOS:LEADCITE, and footnotes in infoboxes are often visual clutter. I also removed "education = No tertiary qualifications" because this seems contra to guidelines at Template:Infobox_person#Parameters ("e.g., degree, institution and graduation year, if relevant"), and seems rather pointed to exaggerate negative aspects of a person. Out of the three footnotes ostensibly verifying her lack of degree and qualifications, the only one that explicitly raises the issue appears to be a self-published blog, which likely violates WP:BLPSPS and should not be used for any BLP claim, regardless of the author. Generally, infobox fields are simply left empty when not applicable (we wouldn't list "death_date = the future" or "occupation = not an astronaut"). Neutral and verifiable facts can still be given undue weight and prominence. The only other change I made was changing "known for = Anti-vaxxer & wife of ex-NRL player" to "known for = Antivaccination advocacy", as I feel it reads more formal, less gossipy and tabloidy (Wikipedia is an encyclopedia after all, not a news site, and should read like one, even if daily news is used to build many articles). Your feedback is welcome. --Animalparty! ( talk) 18:32, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
