Heather Heyer
Thanks for providing the WP link. I absolutely get Heather Heyer's status (although she does continue to be mentioned). My curiosity was piqued by the fact that a Wikipedia search didn't get me to the link in the simplified English version (she happened to be the x factor in this equation). I didn't know there was a simplified version. That's a rabbit hole I'd prefer to avoid. On the other hand, I am currently trying to upskill by checking out WP pages. So, thanks again.Tarkiwi25 (talk) 22:44, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
