What's going on?
I feel that I have been blacklisted on the Wikipedia: I can no longer edit pages, and I am told that my account doesn't exist anymore. Is this the work of Putin's trolls, or of those paid by the leader of the country I live in? Best, Grzdacz (talk) 22:08, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
Removing Factual Information thats been here for years
Why did you delete the school song on Charlemont High School, Jamaica ? Its not Fake informations its real Information. I will be also doing more edits to this Page as I realise it need more info and I'll be updating it. I understand you are a wikipedia Police but there has to be some level of work around to even ask if it is true before just removing. Im asking not to remove the info added as it will be true and factual. This is my alma-mater I wouldn't put Fake information on that page.. Would Never! Let me know if I can be of help in anyway not to take down my info Thanks! ~~~ KKDT (talk) 20:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
Melanie McFadyean Edits.
Thanks for your much-needed edits which are really appreciated and which I have no problems with. They are very empathetically and sympathetically done. It’s very difficult, of course, for anyone who is grieving to edit the page of someone that they knew personally and lost. That’s why I appreciate you bringing some degree of neutrality to my edits without me turning Melanie’s page into a kind of personal eulogy to my loss. 2A02:C7C:F227:D200:68A9:2E97:BA1D:A1A (talk) 09:12, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
