- @Lauren at L Strategies I would recommend you to go forward with your edits as long as you comply with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and try not to vandalize and cite unreliable or false sources. Apart from that, I can't say anything about this. I am no longer in touch with this article. MSincccc (talk) 16:45, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
