For those in dispute over the use of welt.de source, the translation of the photo caption reads: Karl Lauterbach (SPD, l), Federal Minister of Health, together with Margarete Stokowski, journalist, author and Long-Covid sufferer, presented the campaign that has been causing trouble ever since. Any content must represent the source faithfully. Flat Out (talk) 23:50, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah this is much better, although I doubt it is prominent enough to be in the lede, I mostly took issue with "controversial Minister of Health, Karl Lauterbach," and "...which had not been put out to tender. The German minister kept all related files sealed." Parts that are no longer in the text.
I do think that it still should not be in there, something needs to be in the main body if it needs to appear in the lede.
MOS:LEADNO: "Significant information should not appear in the lead, apart from basic facts, if it is not covered in the remainder of the article, although not everything in the lead must be repeated in the body of the text. Exceptions include specific facts such as quotations, examples, birth dates, taxonomic names, case numbers, and titles."
So I believe that either there is enough information to put information about her involvement in the campaign in the main text explaining why it is "problematic" or her involvement is too small for it to be worth mentioning. (If the only source is the one sentence in the source we have right not, it's not due, but if there are more/better sources it might be worth having in the article.
