Removal of Devon Welsh and Jaime Brooks from relationships category[edit]
That section of Grimes biography serves as advertisements for Devon Welsh and Jaime Brooks personal off-site projects. Wikipedia is not an advertising site.
This section under personal life seems to be unnecessary and not notable. I'm not clear how it adds to her notability. It's also based on her own claims, which BLPs should not include. I had removed it, but another editor re-added it. What is the consensus here? If other editors believe it should be removed, please do so.
"Grimes has stated that she had surgery to prevent blue light from entering her eyes. Doctors subsequently said that her claims "made no sense". Grimes has also stated that she once got in trouble for throwing a snowball at Queen Elizabeth II while in high school. However, Elizabeth II visited Vancouver once when Claire was at school in 2002 and it wasn't snowing at the time."
it helps establish grimes as a not necessarily reliable source - much of what is written on the page is based on her own claims Battenintokyo (talk) 23:09, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I get that. The page shouldn't be written on her own claims, BLPs are only to be written on reliable sources, hence the question if these statements should be included or not. LWu22 (talk) 00:58, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I made edits today with good intentions of improving this page. I am a student editor with no COI to Grimes. These were my edits https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grimes&oldid=1176612150, where I was basically cleaning up what was already there, and removing info that didn't adhere to BLP. Then a flurry of activity happened on the main article page and this talk page, and my edits were all undone in the process. Also, activity was erased on this page. I hope to get this page into a neutral place, as a GA article. I saw another editor ask for

but then it was removed, and I'm not sure if an Admin did get to help. Would an Admin please review and offer feedback and suggestions to improve the article?
I am a student editor and would like to improve this page through WikiProject Women in Green Good Article Edit-a-thon, however I'm not sure if that will help or if there is just too much going on here that is beyond my level. Admins, what do you think?

@LWu22: Thank you for your edits. I too hope we can get this article to GA status some day. I did a huge revert today because it was getting messy so I reverted the article back to a revision before the edit war. That's why your edits were removed. I am aware of this and I will try to restore your edits as soon as I can. Bowling is life (talk) 02:50, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@LWu22: I restored most of your changes. This edit: [1] I just made is a mix of your revision and the way it was before your revision. Thank you for your help with improving the article. Bowling is life (talk) 03:33, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for checking this and your encouragement @Bowling is life
I'm going to continue to try to work on improving this article and nominate it for a Good Article Review to get more critical feedback. LWu22 (talk) 20:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
