Vague, Unnecessary Words
I realize it has been more than a decade since you contributed to Wikipedia, and I also realize that you came here only once to edit the Ray McKinnon article. It appears that you are connected to McKinnon or his late wife, Lisa Blount, so these words I am about to write will probably mean nothing to you. You wrote "Ray currently lives in Little Rock, Arkansas, the hometown of his wife Lisa Blount, who recently passed away." Just to assist you should you return to Wikipedia to edit, we don't use unnecessary words like "currently," (if we write in present tense it means "currently," so adding the word is redundant), we don't use words that are vague time references, like "recently," and we don't use euphemisms like "passed away." In the event of a death, we use the word "died." Writing for an encyclopedia is different from any other form of writing. We write only the facts in the most succinct, direct manner. I hope this helps you. All the best. MarydaleEd (talk) 23:21, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
