Typos can be fixed, but it's wrong to remove information along with the typos. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 16:44, 27 November 2008 (EST) | | :::I disagree with his removals and your recent edits to the Obama article as well as your past history do not instill confidence in what you are saying.

In the meantime, you could do your part to show how AndyJM's edits were bad enough to warrant a five-year ban. We showed that at least one of his removals was entirely justified because it removed ''wrong'' information. I wouldn't be surprised if his other edits were okay, too. --[[User:AlanS|AlanS]] 22:04, 27 November 2008 (EST) | | ::::::::It's too late for me to do my own analysis right now, but I will see if I can add something tomorrow.

| | + | ::::::And one for Andy... |
| | + | ::::::*''AndyJM repeatedly deleted insights from entries, without explaining his deletions.'' |
| | + | ::::::It has been pointed out that (for example) his edit to this article was correct - the claim had been wrong. |
| | + | ::::::*''That can be highly destructive if allowed to continue.'' |
| | + | ::::::In my eyes, it's way more destructive to insert wrong information and to use block powers to intimidate and silence the opposition. |
| | + | ::::::*''We can debate the validity of his deletions, but at first glance AndyJM appears to me to have been wrong.'' |
| | + | ::::::At least in this case, he had been right. And BRichtigen ''tried'' to discuss the other edits, but Foxtrot wasn't in the mood and instead won the discussion by means of blocking. |
| | + | ::::::*''Certainly his style was inappropriate in failing to explain or discuss his deletions.'' |
| | + | ::::::He explained at least this deletion here, but Foxtrot removed the explanation for some reason instead of, you know, ''discussing'' about its validity. |
| | + | ::::::*His block can be undone if you disagree, but more discussion would be needed about his specific edits.'' |
| | + | ::::::It would be immensely helpful if you could unblock BRichtigen. He already started such a discussion (I pasted a part of it here), and his knowledge might prove to be useful. I can (and will) take a closer look myself tomorrow, but having another experienced editor handy would lighten my load. --[[User:AlanS|AlanS]] 22:13, 27 November 2008 (EST) |
