HA! |

:: I thought it would make more sense to leave the material in the article while people discuss whether it should be removed or not. Does the person making a deletion get priority in a disagreement like this so that the material remains removed while discussion takes place? |

:::Firstly, I'm sincerely grateful that you're being so patient in this matter. I have great sympathy for the way you feel, from experience; perhaps a brief recap will illustrate. An article had been in Wikipedia for years, with no problems. Suddenly, attention was called to one thing in the article; it was removed, replaced, etc etc. An edit war ensued involving several editors; the article was then protected - meaning that no-one was able to change it, until a consensus was formed. Of course, it was protected in the "wrong version". I was extremely annoyed by this; I made repeated demands that this miscarriage of justice should not continue for a moment longer. People would be looking at the page and seeing content which was not what the consensus approved of. I appealed in all ways possible, but to no avail. After a few days, it was clear that the vast majority agreed the original should be reinstated; the protection was removed and this was done. In hindsight, I realise the futility of my battle; it's necessary to see the bigger picture. The article on "God as the devil" has not existed for the past 8 years of Wikipedia's existence; I'm confident that it will exist, in one form or another, for many years to come. Therefore, it really doesn't matter if part of it is removed for a few days - as unjust as it may seem. This was a hard lesson for me to learn, and I urge you not to follow in my footsteps; I lost considerable credibility within the community over that issue. |

:::Now - I have attempted to rustle up the opinions of a few other contributors, to widen the discussion. I hope we can get some input from others, and come to a decision. This may take a few days; perhaps a week. If there is no clear consensus after that, then we can follow [[WP:DISPUTE|dispute resolution policy]]. |

:::I hope that you will be understanding in this matter.

:Here is some information about [[WP:AWARD|awards]]. The best thing would be, just get involved in editing; before long someone will give you an award. |
|||
:To get involved in projects and things, the best place to start might be the [[Wikipedia:Community portal|community portal]]. |
