Uncited statements in the article, including the entire "Popular culture" section and multiple paragraphs. At over 10,000 words, this article is too detailed. For example, there is far too much detail about his marriages, including a very long block quote that should be summarised instead. Z1720 (talk) 17:05, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- I added starting sources to uncited paragraphs and removed some unsourced material. How do you think the marriages section should be cut? The Account 2 (talk) 23:18, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- @The Account 2: An article should have information about who the partner is, one sentence on how they met, when they were married, their kids, and how their marriage ended (if applicable). Unless there is something really notable about the marriage, other information can be trimmed/cut. Z1720 (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- How does it look now? I trimmed and split some of the info to a new article. I didn't want to remove too much information about his second marriage because it played a central role in Bo's career and ultimate political downfall. The Account 2 (talk) 23:50, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- @The Account 2: I made further edits to that section. I also suggest that editors read through the whole article and spin out/trim prose. Z1720 (talk) 00:11, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
