Should we move the first two citations in the infobox?

Somebody didn't like the way Greta's full name looked in the infobox, so they inserted an HTML line break before her last name. IMHO, that is a *bad thing*, so I looked for another way to force the infobox to be wider so the name would fit together properly. It's inside a nowrap template, so why did it wrap? I tried several solutions; none worked. Then I noticed that the start of the first of two (not particularly relevant) citations butted up directly against "Thunberg". I inserted a space, and now it looks fine! But, should those citations be there, or after her full name in the article lede, or elsewhere or not in the article at all? I know this is a trivial issue, but polishing the article a bit wouldn't hurt. Paulmlieberman (talk) 14:21, 21 October 2020 (UTC) Hola, como estas.

Typo in the section Position on climate change

There is a typo in second para in the quote "... unimaginable amounts of mone.y" which should be replaced by "... money." Garlicbeaver (talk) 14:18, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Garlicbeaver, done, thank you. GirthSummit _(blether) 14:24, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 4 February 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the section titled: "Social media activism" The following sentence: "Thunberg has also spoken out in support of the ongoing 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest, in a Tweet.[43]" needs update due to the backlash and impact it created in India.

Proposed Addition : "In one of her tweets she had linked a google doc that guided and encourage protesters in India. ^[1] This resulted in immediate backlash and as a result Thunberg deleted that tweet. India Government filed FIR report against the authors of this document for inciting violence and condemned Greta Thunberg for siding with them." ^[2]

Reason: This is one of the top media stories all over India and even in Global Media such as BBC right now. The current wikipedia entry is lacking complete information about the tweets and backlash that need to be added to the page for factual reasons.

Cybersj (talk) 22:05, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. That doesn't look like a reliable source. You also need to elaborate on 1. what was in the Google doc 2. why there was "immediate backlash". ◢ Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 00:24, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ganbaruby, Sure thing, I've updated the text with more information and also added 3 different references major news outlets corroborating the story.

Proposed Addition : "In one of her tweets she shared a link to a Google document that had several resources to mobilise people against the farm laws. The document in Thunberg's tweet showed details about January 26 protests and other street protests. The screenshots of the documents were widely shared on social media. ^[3] This resulted in immediate backlash and as a result Thunberg deleted that tweet. Delhi Police filed FIR against the authors of the document under Section 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race) and Section 120B (criminal conspiracy), India Today reported on Thursday." ^[4] ^[5]^[6] Cybersj (talk) 07:58, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like someone else has been able to update the whole story on her wikipedia page so this change is no longer needed. Cybersj (talk) 22:31, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous quotations for criticism

In the Greta Thunberg § Social media activism section, quotes from anonymous spokespersons in The Times of India (RSP entry) are being used for criticism of Thunberg in relation to her tweets about the 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest. Since Thunberg is a living person, the paragraph should be rephrased to avoid the use of anonymous quotes, per WP:BLPGOSSIP. — Newslinger talk 17:13, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
