Speedy deletion

I'm working from an iPad which has limited functionality with the UI for adding citations. I have references I can link but not acces to a device to do this for 24 hours.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Samanthajanerichardson (talk • contribs)

I have added along with others kind asiistance further references. However TheRedPenofDoom appears to be the equivalent of the grammar and style police. They have edited a reference about ms Lyons writing career and daughter which prior to the deletion had no biased or subjective details, rather was a statement of fact. I find this deletion unhelpful. Additionally they gave referred to the background of the play The Ginger Man which she was in quoting negative and biased facts about the plays closure. This just appears contrary go me. Ms Lyins is a personal friend of mine and asked me to write this and load on her behalf. The deletions by TheRedPenofDoom are not helpful. Your response I will receive with an open mind. Thanks

Content in Wikipedia article is based upon what is verifiable as having been published in reliable sources, not what editors claim to know by personal knowledge. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:22, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To expand: the content that came up most frequently in my searches about Lyons was her involvement in the Richard Harris come back attempt in Dublin, and EVERY source that covers that event includes the fact that it closed early due to the excessive influence of the very prudish Archbishop. To NOT cover that would be to fail to present the content as it is covered by the reliable sources. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:00, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
