Sections

I think the section structure should be changed. Firstly, 'early life' isn't really much of a section, with only one short sentence in it; it should be either expanded, or combined with 'education' (with a reference to his secondary education in Liberia, perhaps?), or possibly turned into a lead section with a brief summary of the article contents. Secondly, I don't see the need for separate sections on 'professional career' and 'public service'; the latter is merely an aspect of the following (at least in this case, where the 'public service' consists of professional activity rather than eg. charitable).

Also, under 'references' there were also other external links, which I've separated into a new section per guidelines. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:41, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Elias or Elie?

Why is he referred to as Elias in the title, but Elie elsewhere? IMO it should be consistently one or the other, or else some explanation is needed within the article. And the article name should be the one users are most likely to search for, otherwise we probably also need a redirect or some such like. Anyone with more knowledge on this topic, please chip in?
