You say it's not my decision whether content is important or not, but that is the entire point of an editor. If no one removes unimportant content, it becomes full of useless information. That's the equivalent of the "it's not your job" defense, but since Wikipedia is almost 100% user run, it is everyone's job. The person who added it wanted it to be in there. Since they are an anonymous user, it is possible that they are unaware that [[WP:IINFO|Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information]]. So, saying that they thought it was important, is speculative. [[User:ColdFusion650|ColdFusion650]] ([[User talk:ColdFusion650|talk]]) 16:18, 21 March 2009 (UTC) |

You say it's not my decision whether content is important or not, but that is the entire point of an editor. If no one removes unimportant content, it becomes full of useless information. That's the equivalent of the "it's not your job" defense, but since Wikipedia is almost 100% user run, it is everyone's job. The person who added it wanted it to be in there. Since they are an anonymous user, it is possible that they are unaware that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. So, saying that they thought it was important, is speculative. ColdFusion650 (talk) 16:18, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- I assume you mean by "well tried with the link" that the link I posted went to something completely unrelated. Unfortunately, I was one letter off on mistyping the link. I fixed it now. ColdFusion650 (talk) 20:27, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
