Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content of marginal relevance (unnecessary trivia) to articles is not considered productive. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

[edit] reply to your comment

Your post directed uncivil remarks toward an editor. Talk pages are for discussing the article topic only. User:Peter Fleet's edits were perfectly valid. Trivia sections are frowned on. They are not meant to be expanded. They should be removed. I see the editor was polite in that he coded out the section rather than simply delete it. At least it gives editors an opportunity to salvage some useful material from it to incorporate into the article in a more encyclopedic form. If you do not follow Wikipedia's rules you will be reported to an administrator. Fair Deal (talk) 03:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


There were virtually no personal criticisms, and what few there were ("That's beyond reprehensible"; "You're not thinking") were exceedingly mild. Peter Fleet needs to grow up. And you both need to chill out on the deletion of material from Talk pages; that is to be done as seldom as possible.
You have been asked for an example of a "personal attack", and have yet to provide one.
Furthermore, it's considerably ruder to delete someone's contributions without an explanation. Nowhere in the trivia tag does it say "Any additions will be summarily reverted away." Peter Fleet did not even acknowledge that he was destroying my work of redrafting that made several paragraphs read better. Reverting is a hostile way of editing when you can simply remove the offending lines. Just because Fleet didn't say something rude doesn't mean he WAS NOT rude.
