"Thunberg received no money from the company and terminated her volunteer advisor role with WDHT once she realized they were making money from her name." - from Greta's facebook post. so we are just taking her words as the truth now? shouldn't it say she "claims" she received no money until she shows a respected journalist her finances and they report on it? 27.125.250.174 ( talk) 10:22, 15 November 2023 (UTC) reply

 Done Good point, thank you. Change made to reflect it is her contention. I could not find an independents source (but I didn't put much time into searching). That's Not My Name 2020 (talk) 04:20, 16 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Saying that someone claims something violates WP:CLAIM. The word is "said". Johnuniq ( talk) 05:09, 16 November 2023 (UTC) reply

 Fixed - I went with "stated" as, to be a bit pedantic, "said" implies verbal communication and this was written. Waggers TALK 10:44, 16 November 2023 (UTC) reply

The prose template was added by user FMSky (talk)‎ to three sections on Thunberg's page suggesting that the tagged sections may read better as prose instead of list format. The sections tagged are: Further activism in Europe and end of sabbatical year, Post-COVID-19 pandemic, and Post-high school graduation.

Let's get a consensus on whether to shift away from list format to prose. My opinion is that Thunberg's notable activities are more suited for list format rather than prose—but I could just be lazy. That's Not My Name 2020 (talk) 17:43, 21 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Removed prose templates from Thunberg's page due to no comments on the matter. That's Not My Name 2020 (talk) 10:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Sorry I missed this conversation. Those sections are already prose so you were right to remove the templates. They do read as a bit listy and can certainly be improved into better prose but there's a difference between WP:PL issues and bullet-point lists. Waggers TALK 10:54, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Thank you @ Waggers for your input. I agree that it's "a bit listy and can certainly be improved into better prose." Famous last words: One of these days I'm a-gonna do it. 🤔 That's Not My Name 2020 (talk) 14:48, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
