Hi plz ad the pic of princes Charlotte ...
Response
Hi, you dropped a note on my talk page. I'm responding to your post. The information I deleted has no business being saved as a template and reads as more of a poorly written personal attack on some minor website. That sort of garbage has no place on Wikipedia. I guess I should have posted why it was deleted, but I assumed that anyone reading the content that was deleted would understand why it was removed. I could give you more, but I don't think that's necessary. I'm surprised that you saw fit to restore it since you come off as pretty intelligent. Here's a quote as an example: "is modern evidence of copying documents without any originality and does not deserve the same online communal publishing rights and recognition as wikipedia." That's pretty awful. Also, I think it would have been more appropriate to post your comments to the talk page of the template in question.

- Hi there, sorry I was using a semi-automated program to revert vandalism and most instances of blanking get "a red flag" so to speak, so I didn't look too deeply into it (my bad there, it appears I should have). As for your complaint, you're quite correct the version was far from neutral and was an attack on the site. However, that seems to be the result of somebody making changing back in 2014 that slipped through the system and should have been reverted. I have reverted the edits back to a prior version (dates back to 2009) which essentially contains what a template doc should (a simple explanation of how to use the template). I also reverted your blanking of the main template, as it should be the way it is supposed to be now. If you see things like this where templates have been trashed with biased content, check the history, we try and revert stuff like this but we occasionally miss stuff. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, should be sorted now :) —Frosty ☃ 06:21, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Why?
why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trailerparkmethqueen (talk • contribs)
- If you are referring to why I reverted you, it was because you inserted a sentence that made little sense into the middle of a ref tag, which would have messed up the code on the page. Please make sure what you add: Makes sense, is sourced and doesn't mess the page up. —Frosty ☃ 03:50, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
Unnessessary removal?
Hi there, I have recently contributed to the Wikipedia page of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. I have been a major fan ever since 1997 and I wanted to find out where to purchase tickets for the Cardinals game against the Nationals this weekend. As I opened the article, I was immediately flooded with misleading information. Being the technical savant I am, I decided to fix the mistake that somebody inserted into your page. I am glad we both share the same love for the Cardinals, but I am a little shocked by your ignorance. Please put the changes I made back into effect and this whole situation can go away.
