This reversal

edit

Not sure why my edit has been reverted. The lead doesn’t mention Monroe's singing career. MOS:ROLEBIO says, "In general, a position, activity, or role should not be included in the lead paragraph if: a) the role is not otherwise discussed in the lead (per MOS:LEAD, don’t tease the reader) ..."

I find no justification of any kind via those links for this reversal, and the "a) ..." part seems to be free fantasy. Monroe is highly notable as a singer with not just one but several more very famous songs in her recorded repertoir. That's enough to call her a singer in the short here. I will revert this again unless someone can come up with a clearly defined, clearly linked guideline showing that I shouldn't. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 12:07, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

I haven't checked in detail, but I can see that recent edits include unreliable sources such as WP:RSPHISTORY. These revisions may need to be reverted or the article may lose its featured article status in the future if this continues. ภץאคгöร 09:15, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
