Scandinavian descent

AFAICT, the only source which mentions the Scandinavian descent claim is Ponsonby News [1]. Previously an IP claimed Stuff incorrectly reported it as well [2] but I can't find any such Stuff ref and it definitely doesn't seem to be in any used in our article. In any case, while I'm not sure we can do anything when an IP simply says it's wrong without any sourcing, the subject seems to be disputing the claim [3] so I think even with Ponsonby News which isn't the best of sources, we shouldn't repeat the claim hence my removal [4].

Name change to Luke Wihone?

Luke has recently changed his twitter username to "Luke Wihone" which seems to suggest "Wijohn" was an anglicised version of his last name and if he is no longer using Wijohn the name of this article should reflect that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RileySpaghetti (talk • contribs) 10:21, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We finally have a source using this name, so I have gone ahead and changed it. Not sure where the policies stands on a page move though. --Pokelova (talk) 09:09, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
