Didn't realise someone else had already edited it before I had, so no, I believe Letford is the only one this week to have defected. MJ9674 ( talk) 17:57, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi @ Psychomike:, it's "American retired/former actor/actress" not "retired/former American actor/actress". Please see Gene Hackman, Nehemiah Persoff, Gerd Müller, Billy Connolly, Arlene Dahl, Carol Raye etc. etc. as examples of built out pages where this is the standard language used in the ledes. On an aside, I see you're a new user on here (welcome). Your first collection of edits were exclusively to Scottish political pages. I'm not sure how you then ended up on the Georgia Holt page, unless you were specifically looking at my edit history. If it transpires that you're a former user who was banned via the API noticeboard for non-constructive edits after I raised an issue, and you've returned under a sock puppet account to continue this spree, be assured you'll get caught. Hopefully we can work together and edit constructively. Thanks -- Jkaharper ( talk) 19:54, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
The edit to dates on
Alba Party was suggested by
WP:AWB, but it is based on the point in
MOS:DATERANGE that states
Use an en dash, or a word such as from or between, but not both: from 1881 to 1886 (not from 1881–1886); between June 1 and July 3 (not between June 1 – July 3)
". Happy editing,
