Hi, the recent edit you made to Art in Ruins has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

The recent edit you made to Art in Ruins constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. —DerHexer (Talk) 22:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]

You commented on my talk page that the article "entirely misses the point and totally misrepresents the artists. It is better to have no article than this arbitrary edit and random references." Perhaps you could say what the point is, how this misrepresents the artist and why you supplied those references in the first place. Don't keep blanking the page or you'll be blocked from editing.

Perhaps you could tell me why what you have cobbled together adequately represents the artists? Furthermore form has been used to CENSOR the content of the original article. I want it removed. HannahThistle (talk) 22:46, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you are feeling frustrated with the article. You may not be familiar with the policies that govern all articles on wikipedia. I have left some links at the top of the page. The essential ones are WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and WP:V (allied with WP:RS). WP:BLP is also pertinent. What this means basically is that article content has to be derived from verifiable, usually secondary, sources and referenced to them. The material in the article has been arrived at in that way and some of the sources are ones you provided. If they have not been used accurately, that needs to be addressed. If you disagree with, or don't like, what they've said, that is not a reason to not use those sources. If you have a web site (there is as yet no external links section, but a link to your web site be placed in one), you are welcome to make your own statement there, which can be used as a source to represent your position.

The original material you posted could not be allowed to stand because a) it is not the way wiki articles are written b) extensive quotes are a copyright violation and not permitted. There is no censorship. Any material which is balanced, sourced and referenced is eligible. The article at the moment is marked as a stub. This means that it is only a brief view of the subject and should be expanded. It is a common practice to cut articles down as a starting point, when they contain a large amount of unacceptable content. You have asked for it to be deleted. I would be opposed to this, as I think it is a valuable contribution to the coverage of contemporary UK art.
