Intro glosses subject's crime

[edit]

I read the "Convicted sex offender' Talk thread from March, and I'm fine with the first sentence, but does seem that the intro glosses the reported severity of his crime. I suggest we mention in the intro that Cosby admitted drugging women he planned to have sex with, and also change 'tarnished his legacy' to something stronger. Maybe 'severely tarnished'. Given the media coverage, that is accurate and maintains NPOV. 38.49.84.175 (talk) 20:59, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, just before it mentions "tarnished", it mentions it ended his career. The sets the severity of it. Changing it to "severely tarnished" would be seen as WP:PEACOCK verbiage. Who are we to say it is severe or not? The reader should decide that from the context given in the body rather then from us. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 05:40, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect capitalization of "Hungry I" in second paragraph

Hungry I is stylized as hungry i for signage and advertising...... 98.248.161.240 (talk) 17:55, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the Hungry I article does mention this stylized version in the lead, but then refers to it with caps after that. There is no reason to use the stylized version here if not used that way in the subject article. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 20:37, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is mentioned in Bill Cosby discography, but does not seem significant enough to mention here.Richard-of-Earth (talk) 20:40, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
