ArchivesRe: Additional Info About Girl Name, Jubilee...
in reply to a message by LMS
Your new details are quite impressive, but isn't that more over-the-top than my first submission (which you criticized as being too verbose)?
And expressing my ideas within the article's established format was unacceptable, too?
I am thoroughly confused about what is expected here.

Actually, its not over the top because all of the information relates to its etymology whereas your submission had a lot of erroneous information. Its okay to be wordy, as long as the "wordy" is purposeful.

I'm really confused at what you are trying to say here. If you are referring to adding opinion to a submission, then yes, opinion is unacceptable in a submission. A submission is meant to highlight facts about a name.

No, I'm not referring to adding opinion.
It is the intense effort to obfuscate the eponym that has me confused.

Thats exactly why I am not putting more information about "year of jubilee" in the entry. It obscures the actual, factual meaning of the name. Not everyone named Jubilee is named after the year of Jubilee, nor is every Christian or Jew named Jubilee named after the year of Jubilee. Its actually the opposite. The year of jubilee simply uses the word Jubilee which has its own line up of etymology. Putting that into the submission as the main "meaning" of the name is not factual.
Does this edit make you happier?
