Explanation of reversion

So, User:Duempel replaced this page's content with a translation of the German WP article. I've reverted this edit, because I don't agree that this was an improvement – the German article includes a large, unnecessary table (with an external links column that violates WP:ELNO #19), less information about what Greeters actually do, an excessive focus on the Berlin program, and a fair few formatting errors (along with some grammatical errors resulting from the translation). However, the German article does have a couple of good references, which I've re-added to this article (I've also tidied up some of the prose and overlinking). I'm just explaining this here because obviously this wouldn't fit into an edit summary. DoctorKubla (talk) 10:50, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear DoctorKubla, I am very irritated about your decision. The page I posted yesterday was structured, had all necessary references and gave a good overview about Greeters. Now the English Wikipedia article is back to the useless stub. But anyway, it is your decision. I will concentrate on improving the German page instead. This is how Wikipedia frustrates volunteers - no wonder no one is writing anymore. :-) Thank you for the weblink hint - I did not know that.--Duempel (talk) 12:41, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
