Removal of info
Please do not remove valid information from articles, as you did with Winona Ryder. Thank you. --From Andoria with Love 18:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * From Robert Gillis: Understood :) == I just didn't think it was relevant but will of course abide by your policies :)

Well, the information is relevant to the actress and her career. It's one of those things you really can't get around; when people think of Ryder nowadays, they associate her with the shoplifting incident. It's exclusion would likely cause some confusion from readers, who would likely ask questions as to why the the shoplifting incident wasn't mentioned. Since the article details her career, I feel it is important to note the reason why her career has slowed down significantly. The info there doesn't go into a whole lot of detail like the Wikipedia article, it's just a brief covering of the incident, so I don't see the harm in including it. That's my take on it anyway. :) --From Andoria with Love 19:59, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * From Robert Gillis: I understand... And you're right, you *do* think shoplifting when you hear the name... I'm still new to writing and editing on Memory Alpha -- I've enjoyed the site for so long (and been a Trekker since 82) that I just had to start contributing. Thanks for the explanation :)
