Blanking pages

Hi, obviously a misunderstanding has just occurred. It appeared to be malicious page blanking, especially since there were no edit summaries.

Blanking pages does not get rid of them. It is better to request that they be deleted with a {{db-user}} tag. Regards LittleOldMe (talk) 15:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's OK, thanks, but I don't think I can use {{db-user}} because I'm not the user. MfD is a possibility but I don't want to get involved in a big discussion. Harrymph (talk) 15:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right you are. It should be {{db-nouser}}. LittleOldMe (talk) 15:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, no. Please see Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 29#Userspace subpages of banned users?. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Troubles

This particular article, The Troubles, has generated a number of disputes. I have reverted one of your edits to avoid yet another. Please discuss any substantive edits you may propose on the talk page as required for this particular article. Thank you.Yachtsman1 (talk) 19:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:BURDEN: unsourced material may be removed after providing sufficient time for editors to provide a source. 20 months is plenty long enough. Harrymph (talk) 12:39, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk page for The Troubles, which is a special case under sanctions. You are required to consult with other editors prior to making changes. The better choice would be, rather than acting arbitrarily, to try reaching a consensus, or have another editor provide the cite to avoid conflict. This meets the requirements of this particular article. I will be reverting your change, and it is clearly vandalism in this particular case.Yachtsman1 (talk) 17:10, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
