Vegan organic gardning
Howdy and thanks for the note. Looking through the history of the talk page, it does appear that you signed the correct post. Feel free to drop me a note if I can help with anything. Keep up the great work, --TeaDrinker 18:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Your edits to veganism border on vandalism. I understand that you have some strong feelings about what is and is not vegan, but you can't go around blanking huge areas of a page that have been established by slow progress away from what was essentially an in-page argument ("veganism is good. no veganism is bad. no veganism is good. no veganism is bad." etc). Blanking 'criticism' sections specifically is considered bad form. Instead of doing this, try to write more synthesized material including the "health concerns" or 'criticisms' or whatever along with your reliably cited new material.

Blanking large parts of a page is considered vandalism. Stop blanking parts of Veganism or you may be blocked from editing wikipedia. Kellen T 15:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean by "more synthesized" material. I want to article to become informative, to people who want to learn about veganism, and not a discussion group on the pros on cons of veganism. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a discussion group. Since no-one is forcing anyone else to go vegan, simply telling people what is is is sufficient. A long diatribe on whether it is good or bad is unnecessary and un-encyclopedic.
