Hello. I've actually reverted your additions to the Survivor: Thailand article because that article is about a season of a television series, not necessarily the people in it. The information you have been adding is about a single contestant, and is not related to the show. As you certainly noticed, there are no accounts of the post-show events of other contestants in the article, which is why you felt it necessary to add a new section.

You imply that you have read Wikipedia's notability guidelines, but you erroneously relate them to "importance." I haven't done any research on Mrs. Lampinen, but the paragraph you have attempted to add to the article about the television show is completely unsourced, and, as you have indicated, does not seem to conform to Wikipedia's notability guidelines. This does not mean that she is "unimportant," or less "important" than actors and actresses, but those career routes tend to result in more artifacts of notability.

You complain that "popularity from the show is based on who was the most conniving and manipulative...glad we have role models. What about the ones who did not succumb to this behavior? Are they not worth mentioning just because they didn't make it to the end? Strange world....." This sounds more like a criticism of the show, or of its fans, than of Wikipedia, which strives to be a tertiary source, basing its articles on secondary sources. Within the context of a television program, does it not make sense that those who appear more often receive more attention? I'm not sure why you bring up role models, or to whom the word "we" is meant to refer; Wikipedia articles are not endorsements of individuals or their behavior. As for being worth mentioning, I'd only like to point out that Stephanie is in fact mentioned multiple times in the article on the season, as are all of the other contestants.

If, after reading the relevant guidelines, you believe that the information you have been adding belongs in Wikipedia, the place to add it would likely be at Stephanie Lampinen, an article about the individual, not the article on the season on which she appeared. Please make sure, though, that the article asserts Mrs. Lampinen's notability, and properly cites all of its information, as failing to do either may be grounds for deletion. Thank you. --Maxamegalon2000 16:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
