Remove Willy from the examples

Their vandalism was 20 years ago, and they were just one vandal out of the hundreds of vandals listed on WP:LTA, they don't even have an LTA page anymore. For the sake of WP:DENY and avoiding trivializing the seriousness of vandalism the mention should be removed and the redirects to it deleted. In fact this whole page needs to be revised to stop giving WP:BEANS to vandals. 77.103.193.166 (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Concur - not sure what value this section adds. Are the list items notable? Seems like we’re not adhering to WP:CSC — Safety Cap (talk) 18:18, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Update my name in the article

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
