[edit] Content removal on Nothing Gold Can Stay (poem)

(→Symbolic Words: Stupid robot reverting, explanation of removal given in discussion page)

Thank you, that was all i wanted to hear. And hi, the name is Excirial, 100% human editor with some programmed assistance :). Apart from nonsense, ALWAYS include an edit summary when you are removing large portions of content, ESPECIALLY when you edit on the IP level rather then using an user account. There is simply to much vandalism going on to let an unexplained removal slip past. Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 10:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Not all section removals are vandalism - I gave reasons for doing so in the discussion page. 138.38.217.149 (talk) 10:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Correct, but the removal reason should be added in the edit summary when you make the revert. Apart from preventing removal as "Unexplained removal of Content" it also allows people checking the history to have an easy overview of what was changed in what revision, and why.
