So strange that fully-cited mention of the article subject's EXTREMELY notable maternal grandfather, Sir Lawrence Byford ("one of the most famous police officials in England") keeps being removed. This source alone makes the identification completely clear: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-jun-09-mn-45626-story.html - also mentions the notable Mark Byford, article subject's uncle. Such biographical elements are customarily incorporated in Wikipedia articles, and the persistent removal bespeaks investment in obfuscation of same, frankly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.232.66 (talk) 01:17, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
The same removal of this properly-sourced information has occurred again, once by the same IP user as before, with the dishonest summary "added recent appearance on Celebrity Mastermind in February 2024 and names of contestants on the same episode" (this detail WAS added, but the aforementioned biographical content surreptitiously deleted). On the restoration of the deleted information, within the same day IP user 2.127.224.17 deletes it, again with a dishonest summary "added that new tour has just been announced called Appraisal" (again, the details of Appraisal WERE added, BUT the biographical details have been deleted with no mention). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.236.195 (talk) 17:38, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Comparison of the latest edit (09:54, 4 March 2024) by IP user 82.30.226.162 (whose only contributions to Wikipedia, since their first in 2022, have been the removal of this same biographical information) with the edit of 13:00 on 13 March 2024 by "new" IP user 2.127.224.17 shows a distinct similarity in style: "In February 2024 Adam appeared as a contest in Celebrity Mastermind alongside Michelle Heaton, Nihal Arthanayake and Aaron Evans." / "In March 2024 Maisie Adam announced her biggest tour so far, entitled Appraisal. It will start at Reading Concert Hall on September 17." This stylistic congruity perhaps speaks for itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.236.195 (talk)
