:::There's no need to be rude about this. I've mentioned above some of the things you deleted, and it should be common knowledge to a copyeditor that you don't remove information, just reword it. If you can't do that, then leave it alone for another person to do so. As for the revert, you made several deletions of info, and it would be harder to readd those than to revert it. The loss of your copyedit did not outweigh the loss of information, and thus it was better to just return it to how it was before. If you'd like to copyedit again, this time without removing information, then you can. Just don't start deleting info just because you think the article is too long. Articles are long to be comprehensive, which Wikipedia strives to be. If you have a problem with that, you can make a complaint about our standards in an appropriate talk page (check the Community Portal for starters). You won't convince anyone to drop such an important standard, though. -- [[User talk:LGagnon|LGagnon]] 21:32, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
::::Once again, what information did I delete? I made a very conscious effort to reword without losing anything. You only mentioned 3 extremely minor deletions. And where did you get the idea that I have a problem with long articles? Obviously, there's nothing inherently wrong with a long article, but when an article is unnecessarily long, shouldn't it be made more concise? Isn't that the point of, um, editing? --[[User:Joeynelson|Joeynelson]] 22:07, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
