Please stop your disruptive editing, such as the edit you made to Raven-Symoné. If your vandalism continues, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Kww (talk) 18:31, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
I apologize but do not understand why you consider this "disruptive" or "vandalism." Raven-Symoné is a very famous celebrity and entertainer who openly discusses her recent problems with her weight. The addition of her name and a brief description of her best work to the "Plus-Sized Entertainers" page (to me at least) does not seem inappropriate. She is a very successful young woman who has embraced her self-image, serving as a role model to young females that may struggle with such issues. Is this not the epitome of a plus-sized entertainer? If someone has struggled with but overcome problems like she has, I don't see why that doesn't belong. Her main page also has some discussion others have had about this. A fact is a fact.
- Well, let's see: Your latest edit was made to appear as if it had a reference, but the reference is to a dead website that cannot be verified. Describing her character as gigantic certainly isn't respectful language, and she isn't a model. Only one of your edits even approaches being acceptable, and it seems a little odd that discussions of her weight is the only thing you have been interested in adding to Wikipedia.

- I see your point. I am new to Wikipedia, which is why my history is limited so far. But as a person who studies Gender Roles, Perceptions, and Self-Image, and one who has overcome personal struggles with weight, the issue is important to me. But if you feel my edits are not constructive, I will refrain from making any more changes. I did not realize the Wikipedia is heavily censored, but it is good to know that now; I will keep that in mind when consulting pages in the future. I apologize for your inconvenience. Oh, and I know she is not a "model," but she was included (tastefully, in my opinion) under the heading "celebrity/entertainer," which is more fitting. Just FYI. Sorry again for your troubles - I will no longer make any edits to the Wikipedia.
- Did you think that undoing that signature from when you were logged out would make it less obvious that you were responsible for the similar vandalism perpetrated by ? Slim chance of that.

- You got me!
This entire discussion is an absolute travesty. I am sickened by the state of Wikipedia that this sort of tripe should be given place on a public website. To think what more positive uses this bandwidth could have served. Spuh's obsession with Raven's weight is embarrassing, but Kww's obsession with defending her in such a juvenile and overzealous way is even more so. You should both be ashamed of yourselves.

- It seems I have been banned from commenting on anything but this page due to allegations of "sock-puppetry." Can someone explain what that is? I am not StreaksOnTheChina, if that is what this is about. And by the way, FYI everyone, I am female.
- It's using two accounts inappropriately. In your case, 72.218.42.26 and Spuh.
Kww (talk) 10:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC)- Thank you for the clarification, Mr. Williams.
