Inspiration for internet based satire

The following is relevant and should be included in the article,
M'asal Beag Dubh or My little black donkey is a short story about a dishonest sales-man who works in cahoots with his wife to get an exaggerated price for a lazy donkey. It was the inspiration for an internet based satire on the football transfer market. The fictitious character Masal Bugduv was created, the name sounds just like the Gaelic pronunciation of M'asal Beag Dubh. Journalists who didn't fact check quite as thoroughly as they should have missed the satire and told the world of the up and coming Moldovan star.

The user who goes by the name of 'PartyDude!' removed the above revision from the main article.
Please explain if you had any good reason to do so.

Removing list of works, to make categorised list

The article had a list of 25 "writings" with no mention of which were novels, which were short stories, essays or even collections of stories. There was also nothing to say why these 25 writings were chosen out of his 500 writings. So I removed the list and replaced it with separate sections for novels, short stories, and essays and I filled the new sections with:

Novels
- All his novels that have won awards or have been translated to another language (just Deoraíocht, as far as I know)
Short stories
- All stories that have been republished in collections (in Rogha or Scoth, for example) or that have won awards etc.
Essays
- I don't know any worth mentioning; hopefully I'll find some while researching this edit

Here's the list I removed:

An tÁdh
An Scoláire Bocht, agus scéalta eile, 1904
Nora Mharcais Bhig, 1906
Deoraidheacht, 1910, published in English as Exile
