PEO Sisterhood
[edit]WagonsMurph, please read Wikipedia's policies regarding what content should and should not be included before making further edits to P.E.O. Sisterhood. Nowhere does it say that the organization itself is the only valid source for an article about it; in fact, this would probably be considered original research (prohibited) and the adoption of a non-neutral POV (also prohibited). Instead of sourced removing content (in this case, that is backed up by three reputable publications), which can be considered vandalism, I hope you will make positive contributions to this article instead. Thanks, --192.55.52.4 (talk) 22:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello. In writing this, I'm proceeding from the assumption that you are in communication with the various other editors who have removed sourced content from the P.E.O. Sisterhood article. I'm copying this message to all the editors who've recently attempted to censor the references to the meaning of the group's name.
I can tell you with a fair amount of confidence that if there is a campaign, formal or informal, to keep information out of the article simply because P.E.O. (or anyone else) doesn't want it there, it will fail. As attempts to subvert Wikipedia process and dictate the content of the article grow more insistent, they will draw greater attention from the Wikipedia community (the attention they've received so far is relatively minor). The number of editors patrolling the article for unexplained deletions will increase, and the deletions will be ever more short-lived. More often than not, the deletions will be corrected within minutes, if not seconds (as they were this time).
We welcome all editors who come to Wikipedia in good faith to help build the encyclopedia. Please consider becoming part of our community and working within our principles to improve the P.E.O. Sisterhood article. Dppowell (talk) 05:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
