Semi-protection

[edit]
  • The article writes, "the title character faked his own death". Would this be better replacing "title" (a noun) with "titular" (an adjective) or even "eponymous"? I think it would be clearer and more encyclopeadic.
  • The article writes, "pointing to his CastingCallPro account as evidence". Would this be good to link to Digital casting as "CastingCallPro" is obscure and obsolete (apparently they are now known as Mandy)?
  • The article writes, "A year after Brown attended the class, he received a number of letters saying that he would receive another certificate (...) for keeping in touch. After ignoring their request," but no request is mentioned. He is just told he will receive the second certificate as a result of keeping in touch. I suggest removing the clause "After ignoring their request," entirely as it is confusing.
  • The article writes, "Brown came out as gay" which I think should be wikilinked to Coming out of the closet because this is specifically an idiom; an idiom whose meaning is not at all apparent from its literal words, and which is unlikely to translate faithfully and clearly when English wikipedia pages are robotically translated to other languages. Wikilinkinig it cleans up all confusion. 49.181.181.157 (talk) 14:09, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
