Article title[edit]

We need a new title for this, that places Michael Ellis as whatever he fundamentally is, rather than an adjunct to an ex-President. 112.119.116.84 (talk) 11:29, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

main source[edit]

This has a lot of info and links, from someone who knew him. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/10/23/the-game-that-ruins-friendships-and-shapes-careers/

Removal of potentially embarrassing(?) details[edit]

Some anonymous user removed details about Ellis' early life, I suppose because they probably seem weird to most people. The facts that Ellis' wore bowties as a kid and refused to listen to popular music, for example, while strange, are important details that provide context about who Ellis is, exactly. Considering how little public information exists about the subject of this article, who is currently serving at a high level in the US government, it makes absolutely no sense to delete information. --ChooseAnotherNameInUse (talk) 22:19, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
