Opinions

Re this edit: You're welcome to your opinion. I prefer WP:VOLUNTEER, specifically WP:MESS. Happy editing Paradoctor (talk) 22:23, 15 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

I mean yes, I'm happy for every Wikipedia editor who voluntarily is contributing to building up a good encyclopedia, including you. I also assume that your revert was in good faith, and I think your revert, viewed in isolation, was still better than doing nothing at all and simply ignoring the issue because it at least pointed out the sensible guideline. However, in this case, I think it would have been more constructive to either point this absence out on the talk page or directly add the name to his article because the effort would have been comparable to checking his article and then reverting the edit, at least in the case of merely taking to the talk page. Yes, maybe it might have taken a little bit more time and effort, but it would have been more constructive because a correct and notable information that needs a verification that is easy and quick to find is still closer to the truth than the complete absence of it. However, like you already wrote, that's only my opinion, and you did nothing wrong in terms of Wikipedia guidelines and your edit was objectively still better than doing nothing.
