But by that same logic, if those who dislike snarky comments think they’re “better off excluded”, why aren’t they removing them from pre-existing pages? One rule for some guests and another for others?

I agree with the issue of inconsistencies - if you want to go around removing this stuff then do so, but don't have a go at those of us who like being a bit more humorous.

Why was the snark on Tasha Ghouri’s page removed but the snark on Tim Rice’s wasn’t?

I don’t mind the snark staying, if the snark about Tasha gets reinstated- lots of pages have elements of comedy to them- Geoffrey Durham, Philip Franks, Joan Bakewell etc —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christy Cooper (talkcontribs) 14:25, 30 January 2024‎

I agree. Let Wikipedia do the po-faced stuff. We should be able to have some fun.--Launchballer (talk) 17:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
