"Rapid"

@GuardianH: Just wanted to clarify this edit. The GA Version has "rapid" in it. Did you intend to change it to not match the GA version? Cerebral726 (talk) 16:23, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Oh, yes. What the sum should have said is something completely different - "rise to fame is fine without 'rapid'". The original editsum was overruled since for some reason the system auto-filled in that one (because of hovering the cursor over it briefly). GuardianH (talk) 16:34, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Gotcha. After looking at the sources, the "rapid" aspect of his rise to fame is mentioned often, especially within the context of his 2012-2016 era when he shifted the YA market: WaPo describes quick timeline and how it left Green "reeling, NYT discusses "Sudden fame". The subject of that statement is his impact on YA literature which was a very "rapid" change. Since it was part of the GA and I believe it is a critical part of that opening line, I think it should be restored. Cerebral726 (talk) 16:49, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the WaPo and NYT - I no longer have any issue with including it again. GuardianH (talk) 16:52, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Sarah Urist vs Sarah Green in infobox

The infobox on this article deliberately shows Green's spouse's name as "Sarah Urist" rather than "Sarah Urist Green" which is the title of her article. Shouldn't her surname be shown as Green in the infobox since she changed it when they were married? Tagging @Cerebral726, who often edits here. Penguin314 (talk) 15:29, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

I believe you are correct. I thought it was the standard to use maiden name, but per Template:Infobox person, the spouse parameter should Use article title (if linking) or common name. Making that change. Cerebral726 (talk) 20:29, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 13 May 2024

Please change "Ministry of Health in the Philippines" to "Department of Health in the Philippines". Thank you. 103.5.5.242 (talk) 03:25, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

 Done Department seems to be correct, it's not clear why ministry was used instead. I changed it to match the linked page, thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 04:18, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Change: Green has stated he has aphantasia.

To: Green has stated he has aphantasia and OCD. LolMariamE (talk) 22:50, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

 Not done. Does this matter? Without some sort of context about what impact this has had on his life, it just feels like trivia. This also gets into iffy territory. I'm not saying so here, but people can and do sometimes self-diagnose, and do we know if this was an actual diagnosis or just that? –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 14:15, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

If you watch the video, he talks about his experience with therapy and to not self-diagnose. It’s relevant because he used his experience to help write his book and he also talks about the impact it had on his personal life, so it isn’t random trivia but very relevant to who he is and what he’s done. Should the edit be done in a way to show how it has impacted his life? The edit was just adding OCD; aphantasia was already there without context of relevance. LolMariamE (talk) 16:06, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

OCD is mentioned in several places already, though I guess it makes sense to put it next to the aphantasia. EmergentAnarchy (talk) 17:34, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Formatting fix needed

Please fix the formatting error left in the Awards section for the Corine Literature Prize 2010. It probably just got overlooked by a previous edit on accident. PonderosusOfIdaho (talk) 00:28, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
