→Article recreation: The problem
Some people just want any excuse to snicker at France even on a website that claims to be academic and unbiased. Granted, I love a good joke at France's expense as much as the next guy but there's a time and a place, and a website that purports to be encyclopedic is NOT the place at all.

What happened? We have just had a brand new '''France''' "restored" to us. Clean and unsmutched and without a "history". What happened to the old one? [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 23:55, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

: Clean and new, like the country itself. What's the problem??? Godspeed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 00:00, 15 September 2008 (EDT)

:: The problem is the destruction of a very useful feature of MediaWiki—the article's history, including the deceptive result that it now appears that one Aschlafly wrote the entire article, when in fact he essentially wrote none of it. Further, I believe that there are at least two ways the problem that deletion tried to solve could have been solved differently. One with Oversight, and the other with a selective restore, which I'll now do. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:04, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
