[edit] Contested use of the label prostitute in the introductory first sentence and elsewhere.

Do 2 WP compliant documented instances of prostitution mean the subject is a prostitute and can be labeled thus in the introductory first sentence and elsewhere ? Various editors have done so and various editors have undone or removed the edit - [1] [2]. Thanks -- John (Daytona2 · talk) 19:05, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

She should be considered a prostitute indeed, but since it seems not to be her primary activity, I believe she should not be labelled as one in the introductory first sentence, just as Adolf Hitler isn't mentioned as a German painter in the introductory sentences of his article.Hpdl —Preceding comment was added at 17:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Its an understandably contentious issue, in my opinion the first sentence or paragraph should, as far as possible, be a direct reflection of the article. Mentioning the prostitution 'issue' in the article but neglecting it at the beginning when the article is essentially summarised doesn't make much sense to me. Having said that i don't think its worth getting into an edit war over one sentence. Zaq12wsx (talk) 21:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
