Personal Life edit

"Alongside anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Biel publicly lobbied in June 2019 against California's vaccination bill that would limit medical exemptions from vaccinations without approval from a state public health officer.[64][65][66]" Do we really need to know the biased opinion of USA Todays' view of Robert F. Kennedy in this article? The whole first phrase can be dropped to "Biel publicly lobbied in June 2019 against California's vaccination bill that would limit medical exemptions from vaccinations without approval from a state public health officer.[64][65][66]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:FE21:7F:96:97:60:71 (talk) 22:49, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

It's a fact, not a "biased opinion". See also [1]. --Hob Gadling (talk) 08:58, 3 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Removed sentence from the lead edit

I have removed this sentence from the lead : "The series is the longest-running series that aired on The WB channel and the longest-running family drama in television history". As it is irrelevant for a biography article, and also because it is doubtful (source is a press release with more than 15 years old, see for example List of longest-running scripted American primetime television series and List of longest-running American television series).

I agree. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:56, 8 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, Alexcalamaro. Other biographies would benefit from removal of content from leads when that content does not add anything about the subject of the article. Eddie Blick (talk) 17:28, 10 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
