Just a reminder to tag major edits with a rationale. I've been watching your edits to University of Alberta with interest, but was alarmed to see that on August 29 you removed 3600 bytes of information without a rationale. In particular, you removed a cited section in the lead that discussed the university's finances. Disclaimer: I expanded that section. This doesn't bother me in itself, but if you're going to remove sourced information from the article, you need to justify that. Are you planning to reincorporate any of that information? Why or why not?
To help other users, please summarize the reasons for your edits, or if you're planning on a major overhaul, it's helpful and courteous to post a notice on the talk page so others know what your aims are.
Thanks for your continued contributions!

Another reminder to summarize your edits. Even if constructive, unsummarized edits violate wikipedia's editing policy. I've posted the relevant guidelines to Talk:University of Alberta.

I reviewed your deletion of the controversies section and took your reasons into account. The controversies section is valid biographical information with citations from reliable sources. Such information is in fact required by WP:ALIVE, specifically WP:BLPSTYLE. I agree that the content is written from a biased POV, but rewriting to bring it into line with WP:NPOV is the best response here.
Cheers,

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of University of Alberta people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mark Lewis ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi TownsendS, I know you said you'd explain Mr. Hart's removal in private, but wikipedians edit in public so that the reasons are clear for every editor. Would you mind explaining here, away from the University of Alberta page? I'll be reverting the edit tomorrow evening if I don't hear from you first. Etiquette is that you reply here. I'll see it. Thanks. -- Rawlangs ( talk) 02:40, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
