Jason Blades.....
Hi Knitsey, you removed my update about Jason Blades. It is all absolutely factual and has been admitted to on various TV shows. I don't think that 'celebrities' should be protected from the truth being written about them, particularly when they have admitted to it but then perhaps in retrospect have regretted that admission amd not continued to repeat it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Accuracy1985 (talk • contribs) 06:10, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hello there. This is nothing to do with protecting anyone. It has everything to do with using a reliable source, using a neutral tone and adhering to BLP policies on Wikipedia.
- If you read the message that I left you again, you will see I added links to WP:BLP and WP:RS. I will also add WP:NPOV. I would urge you to read all three of those policies before adding any edits to Wikipedia. If you need any further help then please do reach out. Many thanks, Knitsey (talk) 06:20, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello again!
[edit]Hi Knitsey! I saw you around, just wanted to say hello. You came to me a while ago and I believe I gave you your first barnstar :) Glad to see you around, and I hope all is well! SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 17:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello again, nice to hear from you! I had some time off for health issues but now I'm back and (nearly) fighting fit. I didn't realise how much I missed Wikipedia (as sad as that is to admit).
- I'm just getting back into the swing of things. After a while I think I will start looking for something else to try, other than anti-vandal work. It's nice to be back. Knitsey (talk) 17:15, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- I get that! I'm happy to hear your health is improving and hope it continues to! I understand missing WP when on a break, I've had to do the same more recently for a few reasons, but I've had some downtime :) Either way, I'm glad to see you back and look forward to running into you!

- It would be nice to say I hope we DON'T run into each other (vandalism) but that's never going to happen.
