:: 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)

Thanks Philip. I have a curious mind that's all. There was no real problem as such. At least not until Andy asked me if there was a problem, then immediately closed off for the night before I could answer. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 13:45, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
