As a courtesy to other to other contributors could we please discuss controversial edits on the talk page, not in the edit summaries?

Another contributor removed an image from this article with the edit summary:

rm - the prisoner in the image is not Walid bin 'Attash the subject of this BLP - no good reason given for the inclusion of this 'propaganda' image

I just responded to a similarly poorly explained excision here, where I wrote: "I request[ed] them to be more specific. Our article on propaganda further breaks down propaganda into types of propaganda. If the image was really being used as "propaganda" it should have been a trivial matter for them to identify what kind of propaganda it was."

I request responses at Talk:Ravil_Mingazov rather than here, to keep related responses together. Geo Swan (talk) 14:44, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
