:Well, well! lol  Don't be afraid to speak your mind.  If you thought this page was crap when you got here, you should have seen it before. 

 :Yeah, I know you don't oil black hair before you start dreads.  I was thinking about oiling the scalp.  Such cognitive slips, incomplete/screwy edits happen when people compose and type at the same time.  Not a big deal.  If you see an error, then correct it.  But you didn't.  So, I went back and did it. 

 :Yes, the business about hair care, arguably, can be omitted.  And while you may disagree with its inclusion, it is "actual" information.  As far as the list of people with dreads  obviously, someone thought it important enough, or of interest enough, to add.  (It seems that articles on Wiki are replete with such lists.)  The same is true of the links.  I am inclined to leave them.  I think your criticisms are a lot of bluster without much substance, frankly, and consisted primarily of deleting information you deem extraneous.  It's likely others who may have included the info in the first place will come behind you and restore it.  I did revert a split verb you edited into the text, but left much of your edits untouched.  I'll leave that to others who may feel strongly about one thing or another. 

 :One thing that would be extremely helpful if you have the time, however, that I think we may both agree on is the need for a decent photo.  There was one earlier of a white guy with some fairly nasty-looking dreads  hardly the example one reasonably would expect in such an article but typical of what kind of crap one sees on Wikipedia all the time.  Someone deleted it, thankfully.  And I deleted the photo of a woman with braids as irrelevant.  But now there's no pic at all.  If you have access to a decent photo of some real dreads (read "black" and "nappy" and preferably beautifully groomed) without copyright problems, it'd be great if you'd add it.
