Hi, 7goods. I've moved the following comments here, in case you wished to discuss them further. They are inappropriate for an article talk page, which is reserved for discussion on article improvement (and the personal attacks are inappropriate anywhere on Wikipedia):
- "2nd Mass revision resulting in substantial deletions of sourced relevant content by Xenophrenic"
- If someone could go through the history and comment / mediate this that would be great. I don't have the time or immaturity to get into an edit war with someone deleting blocks of cited material in an article, presumably because they don't agree with it. Xenophrenic's comments don't describe the level of editing they are doing, which includes mass deletions of material, removal of citation needed tags, removal of material with over 5 sources pertaining to the article, and more. 7goods ( talk) 07:31, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Merely "citing" material isn't always enough when editing an article. The citations have to be to reliable sources; the content needs to be attributed, if it is not a reliably sourced assertion of fact; the content needs to be relevant to the article subject (and that relevance needs to be covered in the cited material -- not merely asserted by we Wikipedia editors). If you'd like to discuss specific content edits, we can do that on the article talk page. Regards, Xenophrenic ( talk) 07:55, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
