A particular editor seems to be expanding this article beyond what is needed. Defcool1 ( talk) 07:28, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
"beyond what is needed"– you do realize there are no word/character count limits in Wikipedia, don't you? I could take this article to good or featured status if I wanted to and there's nothing you can do about it. — Bloom6132 ( talk) 07:42, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
To whomever is interested, Bloom goes on these "campaigns" and "builds" articles so they can have credit for them, etc. Not only is it "ambulance chasing" but it's highly amateurish. Defcool1 ( talk) 20:02, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

What? Saying Plante had a booming voice is inaccurate. The CBS article cited says Plante had a baritone voice. Being catchy is not a good idea here. Defcool1 ( talk) 00:42, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Cbl62, here is an answer to your question. One, Lesley Stahl is not an authority on anything. She's well-respected sure. Stahl says he had a booming voice BUT she is referencing presidential press conferences. He did not have a booming voice on newscasts, that is for certain. You are wrong to use this as a description not to mention Bloom is way out of line with many things they do. Two, the number of edits someone or a user makes means nothing. You or Bloom or whoever else go on assuming about that... Three, the Plante article like numerous other GA, FA, and the like articles are edited in not only an incorrect but even juvenile or youthful ways. Four, things you, Cbl62, are assuming are similarly in error. I don't have much hope that you are willing to listen and have zero faith Bloom will. Bloom should focus on the Wiki Bowl and forget the silly stuff. Defcool1 ( talk) 08:13, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
