User talk:Caterpillar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Re: Hair

Even if we were to disregard the fact that this "hair miracle" is neither encyclopedic nor remarkable, it would still qualify as original research. This fact alone would disqualify the text from inclusion; see Wikipedia:No original research for more information.

That said, I should point out that my reversion of your text was not censorship. I was reverting in my capacity as a regular user, just as you added the text as a regular user. Administrators do not have special authority over an article; we simply have a few extra tools that make dealing with problem users (such as vandals and trolls) a bit less taxing. Anyone is free to add or remove anything, but remember the notice at the bottom of every edit screen: If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, do not submit it. I will also point out that I am not the only one to disagree with the appropriateness of your text: GRAHAMUK has also removed your "hair miracle". (I have no interest in meeting this woman in person.) Simply put, this woman's story has no place in an encyclopedia.
