What is notable and what is not?
[edit]Some time ago, a sentence with a proper reference was removed because it was supposedly not notable:
“ | In the 2009-2010 financial year, Gardner received a total of $240,159 in compensation for her role as Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation<ref>http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/1/1c/WMF_2009_2010_Form_990.pdf</ref>. | ” |
— Sentence removed by Nick-D [1] |
Now, we have in the same place, a complete paragraph about how a banner works:
“ | In January 2012 when Wikimedia reached its yearly donations goal, Gardner appeared at the top of every page for a brief time with her photo and a link to a thank you letter which stated that the fundraisers were over. The thank you letter also contains an option to donate, but has a close button that closes the banner for good when clicked. | ” |

I think that this article is biased towards trivia, hiding important information. Just my two cents. Regards. emijrp (talk) 16:06, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- The PC citation doesn't even support the material in the article so I removed it. --Malerooster (talk) 23:40, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Redlink removal
[edit]I reverted this edit because it did not include an edit summary explaining why a red link was removed. XOttawahitech (talk) 16:04, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, it did include an edit summary, admittedly it was rather terse (deleted cat) - meaning "this cat has been deleted". Why are you insisting on re-adding a cat that has been deleted by consensus, and that you know no longer exists? That's the more important question.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 20:11, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- @Obi, my bad – I did miss your edit summary, however, I still disagree with your "silent" revesion of my edits. You say there is consensus for the removal of Category:Forbes most powerful women but there were only 6 "Delete" votes in the CfD. Surely it takes more than 6 editors on Wikipedia to form wp:consensus? XOttawahitech (talk) 14:28, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
- Could you please stop calling it silent - I provided an edit summary, and I provided a more detailed edit summary the second time. If you disagree with the closure, take it to deletion review. Please stop disrupting this page and wasting time by adding a redlinked, deleted-by-consensus category. What exactly are you trying to prove? And yes, 6 delete votes is more than enough, many entire articles are deleted with fewer than that. I suggest you ask wikiproject feminism/wikiproject women's history people to 1) read WP:EGRS and then 2) show up at CFD and give input. We could always use more people participating in CFD.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 23:52, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
