Removing Comments I made in Talk:2008 South Ossetia war

If you are going to remove comments that I made because "removed due to off topic of improving article. Christiangoth (talk) 23:34, 15 August 2008 (UTC" Then I suggest you take a NPOV approach and remove ALL comments that fit this category posted by ALL editors. Thank you --Jmedinacorona (talk) 23:45, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV does not require that I do all the work that there is to be done on a page. The page was very long, and I was both unwilling and unable to remove all of the inappropriate posts made on it. This does not mean that any of those posts or yours was any less inappropriate. Your post was inappropriate, and therefore was fit to be removed. If something is fit to be removed, then it should be. One of the fundamental aspects of Wikipedia is that people share the burden of editing the content of pages. I did my part by removing your post.

For the record, if you go back through the archives of that talk page, you will come across other instances in which I similarly removed comments by other users. Even if I had not done so, it would not have been a POV to remove your post, but I did do so.

I mean you no disrespect and bear no animosity, but it was necessary to remove your post due to its nature, and it is important that people be free to remove inappropriate posts without accusation of POV in doing so, especially given that the accusation does not change whether the originally removed post was inappropriate or not.

I mean no disrespect either, and I did go through your Contributions and didn't see any other edits where you DELETED another authors remarks, just where you had made comments concerning them, this one was especially poignant Diff]. I should have WP:AGF instead of feeling that you selected me out of all the other editors to make your deletion but I guess someone must start somewhere. However, I did go back and revert your edit and then strike through my comment, which may help others try to refrain from making off topic comments themselves. 2008 South Ossetia war is hot enough on the talk page and article itself without us needing to start a war on our own talk pages. Again, sorry for my misinterpretation. --Jmedinacorona (talk) 03:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Lo Cal

The article Lo Cal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unimportant fictional term with no references or evidence of real-world notability. Shouldn't be redirected, as it's potentially ambiguous, also meaning 'low calorie' (or a typo for 'local'), which are more likely search terms.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Robofish (talk) 13:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
