Hello, I'm Synorem. I noticed that in this edit to Anthony Fantano, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Synorem (talk) 12:51, 13 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, my apologies for not doing an edit summary - I had actually never made an edit before. However as you may be able to see, the content I deleted was essentially someone doing what might be called a 'hit piece' on Anthony Fantano in response to a review he made less than 24 hours before the comment appeared. The comment was not only giving opinions on Fantano ("the video became a symbol for Fantano's bias against artists"), but also commented on his personal life ("fans of the YouTube channel reminded Fantano of his own failed marriage"), and gave factually untrue information about Fantano's review as well as opining on Kanye West's behaviour and the reasons behind it ("he spends the entire video criticizing Kanye's 2022 mental health episode" - Fantano didn't spend the entire video criticizing Kanye, he talked about the music as well, as anyone who watched the review can see), ALL without any citations. It is clear to me that someone made this comment either for a joke, or simply to voice displeasure at the review in question. But either way, clearly the content is inappropriate for the wiki.
 * I hope that clears things up and in future if I make edits I will provide a summary!

 * No worries, thanks for replying! I've taken a look, and I agree with your point. The first part about the video being uploaded may be true, but yeah - the last parts aren't really relevant for Wikipedia. I've trimmed it down to keep it clean and factual. Thanks for your help anyway; as I say, it was just a case of not knowing why you had removed the information :) Synorem (talk) 13:36, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
