From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My message was extremely civil and I resent that you imply otherwise. Keep in mind, you're the one who sent me an unsolicited message. Moreover, my point still stands. Anytime a reference was left out accidentally or otherwise, editors were more than happy to add it themselves to save time. I've done it myself - added references another editor forgot to include. This was the first time someone spent more time undoing my edit, then writing me a long winded response about uncited material instead of just taking 15 seconds to add it in themselves. Again, this is about saving your own time and not wasting other people's time. It's about efficiency, not tying edits up in bureaucracy. A simple google search would have yielded dozens of citations.

I think we need to be concerned with the quality of edits and the quality of the wikipedia articles themselves, not taking joy in harassing other editors... And people wonder why the number of wikipedia editors has been dropping like a stone. It's because of situations exactly like this. This, right here, is the root cause. Fortunately, I'm a tenacious little bird. :)
