Assad

The concept that Assad is an Anglophile is a bit ludicrous. He clearly does not believe in British ideals such as parliamentary democracy, due process, common law, or the sovereignty of the individual. A single sourced statement, without anything more than circumstantial evidence, is not sufficient. - 64.222.149.167 (talk) 03:03, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Alex Salmond

This article is clearly a joke. Alex Salmond? Hates the English more than anything. 78.105.206.30 (talk) 14:50, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I Hardly think he does.(Butters x (talk) 18:59, 23 May 2008 (UTC))

Versions

The version to which I am reverting is an improvement over the other version as it removes trivia and uncited assertions. - Francis Tyers · 11:37, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

In fact you are removing a substantial portion of the article - sourced as well as yet unsourced - and doing so against the wishes of the other editors. There's some rule about that kind of thing. Jagdfeld (talk) 09:39, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

The fact that you like it does not overcome Misplaced Pages's policies. You are restoring a large amount of text with no references at all. On this, policy is clear. - Francis Tyers · 15:25, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Looking through we are now hacking at individual parts of the article rather than removing most of it, progress of a sort I guess. I do think we need to mediate this rather than remove whole rafts of material. CorleoneSerpicoMontana (talk) 12:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Material that is uncited is being restored, in violation of the policies of Misplaced Pages. I would implore that this come to an end. - Francis Tyers · 12:17, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

In fact you keep removing sourced material. (PS your command of the English language might be improved.) Jagdfeld (talk) 12:22, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
