With great worry I read an edit summary such as this: "un-cited information doesn't need to be merged; it can be challeneged and removed. This is a normal part of the editing process".
This is not true. Unsourced information can be challenged and removed. If there isn't an inline citation for a statement, that doesn't automatically mean the article's sources don't back that sentence up. The least you could do in such cases is use the inline Template:Citation needed. Removing information gratuitously like User:Mikeblas seems to be doing, however, is simply wrong, and I really hope it's not a case of disrupting Wikipedia just to make a point! If instead, as I hope, the user is making good-faith efforts to improve Wikipedia, then I still urge them to keep in mind that it's worth giving an article a chance, especially when it's still in the form of a stub or little more.
