Titles in lede

[edit]

I think we should write his titles (specifically 'Quaid-e-Azam', by which most Pakistanis refer to him as) in the top lede. Compare it to other modern founders of countries, it only seems right to do so.

Something like this would work.FinallyAUser (talk) 19:14, 11 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

@FinallyAUser: We already have those right there in the WP:lead, not just in the first para. And this actually follows MOS:BIO. There is a reason this is an WP:FA and WP:VITAL article with a lead achieved through much consensus per our guidelines, your recent edits violated quite a few of those and I have reverted them (for the lead at least). Please gain WP:CONSENUS here for whatever changes you propose, but I hazard that they are unlikely to pass for as against P&G they are. Gotitbro (talk) 23:03, 12 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

@User:Wehwalt, I understand your reasoning for removing my edit about him being gifted a Rolls-Royce by Elizabeth II. However, I'm not sure why you keep reverting this. It simply reflects what the page says, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Could you explain your reasoning? WikiEnthusiast1001 (talk) 19:37, 5 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Because you are not leaving adequate citations. If you change text, you must have a citation. And your invocation of Elizabeth II makes me concerned that even where you say it is covered by existing citations, I want more evidence. Additionally, I feel that the text in that area does not require expansion. We are here to write in summary style, not give every known fact at extreme length.Wehwalt (talk) 19:49, 5 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
