Might one presume Wikipedia is striving accuracy, clarity, quality, relevance, contextualization, cohesiveness, attention-to-detail, and/or enhancement in the postings if its articles? Apparently not in the matter of "Sduduzo Ka-mbili" [ https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sduduzo_Ka-Mbili ] !

In one fell swoop, NmWTfs85IXusaybq has eviscerated a host of judiciously researched/sourced clarifications, corrections, as well as multiple potentially-enhancing both internal (Wikipedia) and external links.

Then, NmWTfs85IXusaybq inexplicably has reintroduced back onto the article-page originally-posted text which remained rife with all manner of mis-spellings, mis-identifications, mis-translations, mis-perceptions, etc.

Among those mis-spellings, mis-identifications, mis-translations, mis-perceptions are:

Russell and Run Simmonsw / Russell Simons' Foundation / Washington Past / Peterson / United Nation's / Sarafina (The Movie) / Harlem Nutcracker / One of the 25 to Watch / Alvin Ailey American Dance School /Alvin Ailey Repertory Dance Ensemble / Hearst (Magazine company) / Super Stars of Dance / ANC-US / SUNY / My Sorrow

Among the decommissioned internal (Wikipedia) links were:

South Africa / Cape Town / Whoopi Goldberg / New York City / Gordon Parks / European Union / WBAI-FM / @ New York Times / The Washington Post / The Village Voice / Rolling Stone / Superstars of Dance / Dance Magazine's "25 to Watch" / Africa Day / Sarafina! (film) / Taliep Petersen / David Kramer / Mbongeni Ngema / Donald Byrd (choreographer) / Russell Simmons / O, The Oprah Magazine / Hearst Magazines

At what high-profile Simmons/Hearst event was Ka-mbili featured? Which of Russell Simmons' foundations was being referenced? What is Russell and Run Simmons - a company, an organization, a thing? What's ANC? What's SUNY? What's S.A. - perhaps South America, South Asia, San Antonio? Did Ka-mbili himself perform "Izinhlungu Zami"?

All of such matters - amongst others - had been addressed in the text eviscerated by NmWTfs85IXusaybq.

It's perplexing ! What rational is there for Wikipedia to be blocking article enhancements and/or repeating postings of erroneous information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paynethymaya (talk • contribs) 12:53, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
