I give up with Wiki.., there are too many cooks.
I added an item in the FAQ section to deal with the obvious error --that is, linking Bernadette to "Jewish American Actors". Would you-all please help me with the wording--I'm trying not to be too negative or obnoxious while still being clear.
Be back tonight.
Thanks, all...

That link mysteriously reappeared, along with another link to a list of Jewish-American singers. I deleted them again of course, but what is the deal with that? I wonder why someone keeps putting in these obvious inaccuracies.

Yeah, I just give up on Wikipedia. It would be good to remove Bernadette's name from the list of Jewish-American actors/singers but I can't figure out how to do that. The user who put back the link also did 50 !! other edits on one day (that's just my count of one page), so I wonder if there isn't some automatic program that's doing this linking.
At any rate, I've written a general disclaimer for the FAQ section, about Bernadette's entry on Wikipedia, without getting into specifics. Suggestions wanted and appreciated...

I think if you delete the link it also removes the person's name from the list. At least her name doesn't appear to be on the list any more (for now, that is).
