Too confusing with the YouTube source on the Alexa Nikolas page

I was bummed when you reverted my edit on the Alexa Nikolas page when I said I had proof that Alexa's middle name is Helen. If you reverted my edits, then why are there YouTube sources on that page. Go check them out on that page. Chidie345 (talk) 04:27, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. I found out that it had nothing to do with the sources. It was the documents. Technically, Alexa just censored her home address on her restraining order document to keep it private. Chidie345 (talk) 04:31, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For our purposes, it really doesn't matter if she censored one thing and not another. On Wikipedia, we simply can't use documents like that to support claims about living persons. I urge you to read through our policy on content about living persons if you're going to be editing articles about them. I hope this helps. Cheers! Woodroar (talk) 13:46, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes to Stephenson book articles

I don't care about these changes one way or the other, but how do you see them as related to MOS:BIO? Dan Bloch (talk) 22:39, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, that was a mistake. 100% a brain fart.

Now I'd argue that we nearly always include author nationality—by looking at featured articles on novels (Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels#Work to be done), for example—but you're absolutely correct that MOS:BIO is irrelevant. Woodroar (talk) 23:07, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
