| Hi, we saw your messages and your threats to delete the article. The article was contributed by two undergraduate freshmen students from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. I think other than being so critical, you should appreciate that students take the time to contribute to wiki. Frankly, I think you are being very arrogant and instead of helping us or providing suggestions to improve the article, you are putting off people from contributing. I am their Professor and as a class we contributed to over 15 species on wiki. The students spent time in the library gathering resources and thanks to people like you feel that their work actually don't mean anything.] (]) 17:16, 7 December 2007 (UTC)B. Thiagarajan | |||
| :I frankly don't care. If you are their professor, then help them follow the needs of the encyclopedia. When material is added with only citation at the bottom, unlinked to the added material, it is very difficult for me and other editors to ] the material that was added. I have only your word that what was added was good and, several times, the edits were '''not''' good in that they removed various categorization of interwiki linkages, besides being very difficult to verify. If you want your students to contribute to Misplaced Pages, I suggest you first learn what it takes to make a Good Article or a Featured Article. Then you can guide them more properly. - ] ] 18:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| I don't wish to be impolite or unfair, but I feel that your use of the rollback button there was completely unjustified, UtherSRG. Rollback is exclusively for vandalism and very disruptive edits. Changing the structure of a page is no reason to revert in any circumstance, and certianly not to use rollback. This talk page tells a short story about various complaints regarding some of your reversions, and while I don't care to examine them all, the pattern is disturbing. Rollback should never be used in editing disputes - perhaps a decent rule of thumb is that if you'd give the user a warning for their actions, you can use rollback. Certainly not the case here.

| ::I'm afraid I strongly disagree with that sentiment. As is stated ], using rollback "is a slap in the face to a good-faith editor". Ignore all rules should not be an excuse to save yourself the effort of typing a proper summary, and it certainly isn't "inefficient" to either constructively explain your reasons for a revert of a good faith editor in the summary, or attempt to fix the error rather than rollback the whole thing.

This is the standard course of action where a user abuses an editing tool (popups/twinkle/rollback) to gain the upper hand in an editing dispute or, more relevantly in this case, to make rash reverts which are not supported in any policy. IAR does not give you carte blanche to do as you wish - the wording is something like "Ignore rules if they prevent you from improving the enycylopedia". I am of the opinion that by invoking IAR you have in fact broken it, because some of your reverts mentioned above do in no way improve the encyclopedia - who ''cares'' about dodgy formatting if there is new content, and believe me the encyclopedia will be far worse off when you ]. Consider this a final warning - any further abuse of the rollback tool may result in a block or a report to the relevant noticeboard.
