Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 06:46, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't read the article. I don't know or even particularly care whether you're right. You may very well be. What I do care about is following Wikipedia's policies and procedures. Blanking the page does not one of them.

While it is unfortunate should you be right that the Main Page would have inaccurate information on it, the correct procedures are as follows:

  1. Bring it up at the Did You Know discussion page. You can do so whether or not you have an account, although you're still well-advised to sign your statements by entering four tildes (~~~~) for better organization of the discussion.
  2. If you think this entire article is completely wrong, bring it up at Articles for deletion.
  3. If you think some of the information is accurate, but some is not, then improve it yourself. Nobody's stopping you.

Thank you. Lockesdonkey (talk) 07:29, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did all that. I've been completely ignored. The AfD instructions are a joke and allow the article to remain on Wikipedia while a bunch of people who know nothing about geology argue with each other. Does it nmatter that the article is wrong? Isn't an encyclopedia a repository of correct information?

Because so much of the information is not in the sources that are in the article, it would take hours to check them all. I found enough that was completely wrong to be confortable just deleting everything. You put it back, then you're the vandal.

You, sir, are wrong:

Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia

I told you the article is wrong, and you deliberately put the bad information back in. You are the vandal.
