"articulate, charming, and at ease in front of the public” isn't neutral 92.10.199.195 (talk) 22:15, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not done: It isn't, but it's a direct quote of this source. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 05:50, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is it really relevant to an encyclopedia, though? It's a bit strange for them to say that to start with, but even then, articles here don't usually copy/paste their sources for various reasons... so, why this sentence, in particular, is here is bizarre, and seems awfully like the subject wants it there... 92.10.199.195 (talk) 02:07, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Appears to be WP:PUFFERY and poorly reflects on an FA article (though considering its age I wonder if a listing is still warranted). I have removed it. Gotitbro (talk) 11:03, 24 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
