Semi Protected

With her death just happening there is some vandalism going on in the Death section. Hoping to get the page semi protected. @FlightTime what do you think? Elvisisalive95 (talk) 06:00, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Elvisisalive95: It wasn't vandalism by the IP. Perfectly legitimate cleanup which I mostly restored and worded better. Wylie pedia @ 11:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wyliepedia Hello & thank you for your help. It wasn’t the most recent IP i was referring to, since her death it has been rewritten and replaced numerous times. Both filled with misinformation & poorly structured sentences. I reworded it as well, & tried to keep most of what was there from previous editors. It was only the most recent edits that was cutting off the nose to spite one’s face so to speak. I more or less included where she actually was when she passed. I read all sources carefully & what you changed it to now is how i had worded it exactly aside from removing someone else’s contribution about being 9 months shy of her 100th which i left because it’s not everyday a person gets that close to that birthday! I thank you for your support. Elvisisalive95 (talk) 14:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of unsourced paragraph.

I have removed from "Personal life" an unsourced paragraph that has had back-and-forth revisions of an age. Perhaps someone can find reliable documentation and add similar content that is properly cited. Eddie Blick (talk) 18:10, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
