Carnegie Mellon material

Hi,

Thanks for noticing that removal from Carnegie Mellon, I wouldn't have noticed it. I've had a lot of trouble finding the general documentation on removing material from articles (the Misplaced Pages documentation is very sad). Of course, a few pieces of documentation got improved during my search, so it wasn't a total loss. The best paragraph I could find was Misplaced Pages:Avoiding common mistakes.

But anyway, deleting substantive material outright is strongly against practice, particularly since the user didn't even leave an edit summary. A common dispute-resolution strategy would have been for you to have replaced the material, and left a note on the talk page. Your edit summary would have said something like "Replaced material (see Talk)". This strategy allows you to force the other user into a discussion, rather than a revert war. -- Creidieki 01:20, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Vandalizing Macedonian towns

Glenn, first of all the Freestylefrappe is not TERSELY saying, he has already blocked me without any warning. Have you seen his version of Kumanovo article? He is talking only about murdering, blood, terrorism and nothing about the city normal life. Of course, there were moments in the Kumanovo’s history when a terrorist attacks took place, but Kumanovo is most of the time a quiet ordinary Macedonian town that doesn’t deserve such descriptions. It is the same as if you write an article about London not mentioning St Paul’s catedral, Westminster, Tower bridge.. and writing only about recent terrorist attacks in the London underground. Talking about copyvios, I noticed that FreeStyleFrappe is using text written by Christopher Deliso You can check that on: http://www.serbianna.com/columns/deliso/ http://www.popovashapka.com/terrorist_bombing_in_kumanovo.htm

Are you sure he has permit for doing that? Of course, I will not stay calm until he stops vandalizing the Macedonian towns.
