Question about disabling the Associated Acts Section
Hi Everyone!

I don't know to whom I should address this question, so I'm starting my own conversation hoping someone authorized will answer.

My question is: Why Wikipedia cancelled the "Associated Acts" section regarding music artists? For example, when you entered the name "Rich Robinson" (the guitarist of The Black Crowes), in the Background information section on the right side of the screen you could have read about all collaborations of that particular music artist, such as e.g. The Black Crowes, Hookah Brown, Bad Company, The Magpie Salute and so on. Apparently someone has decided to abolish this valuable and important information, and the question arises why this was done?!

Since Wikipedia has thousands of editors, I don't know whom ask this question to and I sincerely hope someone authorized will read these lines and post an answer - why this was done and/or why these very important information can't no longer be read in order to direct interested reader to further research the person for whom he/her is interested in. I think something like that is in the common interest of all of us (all the Wikipedia community and much further), so I can’t understand why it was removed?!

If this has been done for personal data protection (GDPR) purposes, then I have to remark and point out that this regulation does not apply to works of art, band names and individual performers who are interested in reaching as many listeners, viewers and fans, as possible and at the same time it would be completely absurd to deny one’s artistically successful past, which is certainly not in the interest of either the performers or the readers.

Best regards to everyone!

I hope that an administrator can answer this.
