Nicholas Wilder
... that Nicholas Wilder said that being diagnosed with AIDS was "just one more ... adventure"?Source: "the bad news is that I have AIDS. The good is that I am going to live to be 80. ...I don't feel cheated. I never have.

QPQ: - Still needed.
Overall: Earwig says 51% but this is acceptable because it mostly involves direct quotations. I added quotation marks to the hook because what he said isn't really objective language. feminist (talk) | free Hong Kong 12:55, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: The ellipsis in such a short quote looks strange. It also doesn't adequately reflect the source, in which he calls his whole life an "adventure". Could this be rephrased:
- ALT0a: ... that Nicholas Wilder said that being diagnosed with AIDS was just another "adventure"? Yoninah (talk) 21:48, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- ALT0a works. @No Swan So Fine: QPQ still needed. feminist (talk) | free Thailand 13:21, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
