Topbanana, I am kind of new to wiki editing but I have read the policies. I would like to ask you, an experienced editor a question regarding the Wiki policy, verification Wikipedia:Verifiability. The policy states verifiability is important, more important than the validity of the information cited. Yet I am running into a situation with edits in which a user continually removes my cited information and substitutes uncited informaiton. This is their stated summary: " Antaeus Feldspar (Talk) (rv to last by Fplay. Terryeo is once again trying to slip in POV about how Dianetics "was accepted broadly by the public at large" and "a feat unparalleled in publishing history" and the like)"

Well, I cited the source of that information, its date of publication, its publisher, its ISBN and page number. The information substituted was not cited and not verifiable. This happened in the Dianetics article, the History subheading. This is not just a single event, but has happened frequently in the Dianetics article leaving the article mostly unverifiable.

My question is, How exactly does Wikipedia apply the verification policy in these sorts of instances? Is a paragraph or two of uncited, unverified information acceptable in a long article?
