Redundant[edit]

After the LH and its sock IP"s edit the sentence in question reads "In fall of 1912, he signed up for a course or two at University of Georgia as a law major for fall semester just to play football." That means it has both grammar errors and a redundant mention of the fall of 1912. It looks like this is an English as a second language and WP:CIR problem.

I can't really follow the entire edit history of that. What was the exact text before the odd edits and the socking started? Softlavender (talk) 02:18, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Blatant vandal marnetteD (also, he blames some sock IP, but has no proof) MarnetteD is out of line and he never mentions how he took away correct death day of Oliver's father...

Blatant Vandalism by marnetteD: Correct College Semester & Correct Day of Death of Oliver's Father, Misleading Info...[edit]

MarnetteD, blatant vandal who started edit war wants to show off, i do not know why pathetic administrator materialscientist blocked this page from editting, he should have realized information is correct... blatant vandall marnetteD says fall is mentioned BUT IT'S NOT AND ONE CAN'T REASON WITH HIM... read history of his war edits, it's not same fall year, also correct death of oliver hardy's father was vandalized by him: november 22 1892, yet nobody cares, proving again wikipedia is joke of a "encyclopedia" where senior editors no matter how wrong they are they have their way and newbies are kicked out for any reason, but fine with me, go ahead keep on misleading the crowd... 186.128.61.209 (talk) 02:41, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fall semester for 1912 was mentioned twice, however instead of war-editting, marnetteD should have corrected the sentence, proper grammar is: In the Fall of 1912... 129.122.195.234 (talk) 02:50, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stop calling an editor that's been here for almost 20 years a vandal. Meanwhile you just started editing only to include that sentence. Anyway, wouldn't a fall semester take place in...Fall? It's "not same fall year"? What? It seems like a little bit of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT and WP:COMPETENCE Mike Allen 13:24, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
