[edit] Meles Zenawi
Please do not remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to Meles Zenawi. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:39, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- As you can see, the article is already flagged for not maintaining a neutral point-of-view. I'm sure you'd agree that the text in the article should be backed up by reliable sources - in fact, the comments you left for me on my talk page indicated you are concerned about accuracy. However, your edits (e.g. this one) removed text that cited its sources. At the same time you added apparent quotations without providing any sources for them. Please have a look at Wikipedia's policy regarding verifiability, as well as the three-revert rule. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 07:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. I think it would be better if you provided your sources and proposed your changes on the Talk:Meles Zenawi page. Wikipedia is (ideally) based on group consensus, and I think it would be a good idea to involve everyone who is actively involved with the article. It's entirely possible that a talk page discussion will itself get heated, but that is generally preferable to having the article revert from one version to another and back again, etc. In any case, in a few days I'll be taking a Wiki Break until this end of this month, so you'll want to think about engaging with others anyway. Also, for what it's worth, I don't think that anyone currently involved with the article is a fan of Meles (in fact, if you'll look at the Talk page, you'll see there were previous complaints about a pro-Meles stance). But our personal feelings about the man must take a backseat to upholding Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Although, granted, it seems that bringing the article up to good status could be a huge undertaking (especially trying to reach a consensus among everyone). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:32, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
