On 14 October 2017, someone calling herself "Diannaa" removed 26,611 bytes of carefully formatted information,
with the justification "remove excessive non-free content, per WP:NFCC. Material should be summarized in your own words, not quoted verbatim. Properly formatted bulleted lists".
Apparently the last sentence meant she removed various blank lines, which is fine with me.
As to the "non-free content" issue, I am making some inquiries on that subject, and will report back when I know more.
However some of her deletions do not involve "non-free content":
She removed the references to, and links to, relevant discussions at the Kan Extension Seminar. Why? These discussions were about (some of) Street's papers, and give a fuller view on Street's work. What is wrong with that? In no way is that "non-free content". Further, several weeks ago, I contacted, via email, the organizer of that seminar, Emily Riehl, and asked if she had any objection to my linking to those discussions. She responded and gave no objection, in fact offered thanks for being included. So why the deletion?
She also deleted some material I had written, such as
Among other things, KKR develop the theory of bimodules over a biclosed, but not necessarily symmetric, monoidal category . Their development of the theory of cofibrations is modeled on that in Street's "Fibrations in bicategories."
again for reasons unknown to me.
And she deleted some important qualifications, such as, to "Fibrations in Bicategories": "followed in 1987 by a four page correction and addendum."
