Hi. I saw your note about editing living persons' articles on MKember19's Talk Page. As a follow-up to that: this user has vandalized the articles of cast and producers of Friends. I have reverted all of them that he/she has done under that username. He/she should probably be blocked from further editing. Thanks. -- Jeremy Butler ( talk) 12:01, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed you had an issue with my Lloyd Banks edit. The reason why I just put New York City is because Wikipedia accounts remove the borough and neighborhoods of New York City when it talks about a person's birthplace. If a person is born in Manhattan, New York, wikipedia just puts New York City, U.S. I don't mind if "Queens, New York City, New York" stays but I just wish Wikipedia accounts would just go with one thing and stick with it. Either all boroughs and neighborhoods be included when talking about New York City, or none of them are and it just stays New York City. DO NOT ADD QUEENS, NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK. JUST LEAVE IT AS NEW YORK CITY, U.S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WPUNJ ( talk • contribs) 18:03, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Lavender, Your edits are entirely biased and do not reflect a neutral stance at all. Trasks remarks consisted of unprofessional racist tirades against white people, and you come to her defense, particularly with your contemptuous emphasis of "people such as Laudan." The fact that you devoted an entire, irrelevant paragraph on this man's page to the legacy of this spiteful woman, when it has no relation to his philosophical work, shows your own bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.113.47.223 ( talk) 06:02, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

you reverted an edit in the name of neutrality, thus ironically making the article less neutral.

Ernie had a son,(Gene Sullivan, he's in 4 museums) He was quite the athlete himself! Gene Sullivan found out Ernie was his father about 1+ yrs ago amazing similarities, it's an incredible story. If I give you the ANCESTERY.COM login/password, or send you a screen shot with the DNA information, CAN YOU LEAVE Gene Sullivan in there as his son? If you go to face book and look at CECI SULLIVAN, BILLINGS MT pictures, or do a FACEBOOK search for ERNIE NEVERS FAN CLUB, or go to INTSTAGRAM Ernie Nevers Fan Club you can SEE FOR YOURSELF, Gene looks just like Ernie, a lot, Even more so like Ernie Nevers Father George.
