Comment - The article linked above is most certainly about this instrument, and a detailed discographical reference for the very recording whose cover was in the photo was already in the Discography section of the article. The deletion of the cover image within hours, allowing for no discussion, was very, very wrong and the kind editor needs to reverse her/himself on this and go through the proper channels. Everyone makes mistakes, I suppose, and in this case the deleting editor doesn't seem to know much about classical music. That's okay; it's never too late to admit an error. Our educational purpose, even when discussing obscure musical instruments, really is an overarching concern, and deleting such an invaluable LP cover image within 6 hours, allowing for no discussion or input from other editors, was just incorrect procedure, undermining the trust and faith we should hold in our admins here. Emulating Abu's behavior, as the editor has done (including Wiki-stalking, as s/he has admitted s/he has done, as well as deleting within hours, allowing for no input from other editors) is not a proper way to behave. Thank you all for your consideration, and thoughtful discussion here. Badagnani 07:04, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
