[edit] Cottingham
not sure why you deleted facts from the 2001 census on the article on Cottingham. These are directly relevant because they challenge a common myth about the place and correct previous data on the article. You state 'our policy' - I contend that your redo edits were wrong and you are just removing the information as a way of childishly winning the edit. I suggest that this relevent information stays on the article and you focus on adding detail that improves the article rather than engaging such repetitive redos for your own spurious reasons. 82.29.114.179 (talk) 23:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- I removed them because they are POV as per my comment on your talk page. By selecting 2 instances of counter claims form the many claims which all claim on a different basis you are not comparing like for like. The wikilinked article gives details of the claims of each candidate and as the claims are dealt with there there is no nead to have a POV statement in the article.

Fair enough. I beleave you think you are right. Imagine if you put the same effort into improving the article with new information as such a pedantic edit? 82.29.114.179 (talk) 08:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Goal posts
Hi Keith, real life intervened for a couple of days. As for the KOH article, the goal posts seem to be speeding along the motorway. I think, maybe put a copy in a sandbox, wait a while and have another try at revising it with fresh eyes later on.--Harkey (talk) 12:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
