TFD I don't know if you are a good choice for this question: I have been an occasional editor of WIKI for a couple years. In that time I have noticed a few things that bother me. The big one is that I have noticed there have been "corrections", "revisions", and just plain data removal from some talk pages.

Is this acceptable to WIKI? Even if someone is incorrect, the posting on the TALK page is not incorrect. It was made, shouldn't it remain?Aaaronsmith (talk) 00:30, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Not Vandalism at all

question of reliable sources.

If mein Kampf is unreliabe then wouldn't ^ Engels, Frederick, Preface to the 1888 English Edition of the Communist Manifesto, p. 202. Penguin (2002) also be unreliable? But the Communist Manifesto is used over and over again in connection with communism, USSR, and Socialism.24.101.172.61 (talk) 23:29, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Fałszywka

May I ask you to please widthdraw your AfD nomination as a gesture of good will? I truly believe that you and I can collaborate rather than fight in the future. You are a long-term Wikipedian with relevant experience in building content... just like me. I'm sure you can also appreciate my expansion based on reliable sources. Neither of us needs the grief associated with this conflict. Poeticbent talk 19:19, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. Much obliged for your assistance. Poeticbent talk 20:12, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
