Content removal

@Geesea123 Tom Tate is a well-documented LNP member (see below), hence "Independent LNP" is accurate like all the other "Ind LNP/Labor" since he's a member but not endorsed

Why are removing accurate info about his affiliation?

Flagging @Nford24 in case they're interested in weighing in on these additional 2012/2016/2020 reverts (partly because I don't wanna get involved in a two-user edit war

But these reverts are barely explained and again, removing accurate info Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 04:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, he’s got documented party membership, so unless it’s Tate himself making the edits, I don’t understand removal of the cited information. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 05:21, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The main reason I suggest the editor is Tate, is because of the user edit history. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 05:22, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't wanna imply any user is anyone (I remind them that they are free to weigh in here!) but obviously all the edits are Tate-related

I haven't gone through them much so can't really judge although again this is is a pretty clear cut case with the mayoral pages: accurate info is being removed

I'm conscious of the three-revert rule but the reverts being made for the 12/16/20 pages are barely explained and removing info, and whether it's you or me or someone else (again noting the three-revert rule) they should be undone Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 05:43, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
