Kat Dennings Page

Pls stop vandalizing edits targeting selected users. If you can't handle the concept of WiKipedia, your id may de suspended. Just think about the stuff that you may end up seeing on Kat Dennings page if you lose your iron grip of it.

Anonymous user,
See my response in your talk page. I encourage you to post verifiable information on the Kat Dennings page and every other page on Misplaced Pages. That is why I "vandalized" it.

You seem to live in hostile environment. Firstly, nobody threatened you, and my note about KG page was meant to be humourous. I only wanted to stress that going after some people, and removing every bit of information they left on any other page, based on the assumption that they only post garbage, may not necessarily be a proper approach. I'm referring to Friske page where you deleted a paragraph, that made sense. So no hostility on my part, and no user wars. We're all trying to contribute after all.

Agreed, I still defend my editorial decisions as being sound, but my method may not have been ideal. My justification was that if someone is posting iffy stuff on multiple pages, it seemed the best for Misplaced Pages's overall quality to follow along and fix a chain of poor edits. I still stand by my decisions, but I can certainly see how it was misinterpreted. The whole hostile environment theory is interesting... but I think losing my ID comes across as a threat.
