[edit] Question No. 6

Hi, Yandman. Could you possibly explain the rationale behind this edit and it's edit-summary? – [1]. Thanks. — Nearly Headless Nick 11:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

This was just after the whole "T word" controversy had calmed down slightly. Consensus was reached (there must be at least 100kb of discussion in the archives about this), and then this rather hardline COI editor (look at his contribs and userpage) comes in and reinserts "terrorist" with a deliberately misleading edit summary. He'd previously participated in the talk page discussion (as several IPs and as himself), so he knew very well it wasn't "just a missing adjective, no biggie". yandman 11:26, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, right. POV issue. Thanks for clarifying. Good luck! — Nearly Headless Nick 11:36, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
