[edit] Moved from my talk page

Mikkalai, if you edit work other people have done, can you not refer to it as 'bullshit'. It's a bit rude, don't you think? Chwyatt 09:02, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

My edit summary specifically said: "bullshit inherited from books the text was based on", i.e., no blame on "other people" if you meant wikipedians. But I am in my full rights to call bullshit "bullshit", especially when it was paid for. Specifically, I am referring to the book 'Heroines of the Soviet Union 1941-45', from which a significant text was taken, slightly rephrased, bordering on copyvio. While the facts in this book about heroines themselves are mostly accurate, the surrounding history is prominently sloppy in many details, the author being very obviously clueless in Soviet life and history. `'mikka 16:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
