[edit] Helpme request

Is there an etiquette and process for competely re-writing an entry?! The one I have in mind is 'Marlovian Theory'.

Hi! Just reveiw this. and you can try. If the article gets messed up just revert it or someone else will. Instead of using {{helpme}} just ask me by placing a note on my talkpage.WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Review Me! | Can I have your autograph? 13:49, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

EDIT CONFLICT

I don't think there's any specific policy, but it would be a very good idea to suggest it on the talk page for a while before doing anything drastic. You could also tag the page with {{cleanup-rewrite}} or one of the other cleanup templates during this time to raise awareness of the issue. --h2g2bob 13:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. My apologies for the unintentional anonymity. I'm new to all of this, rather ancient, and without anyone nearby to show me how. But I'm learning! Peter Farey 07:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
