"::Thanks for the vote of confidence re: your earlier message. And re:WP:PRESERVE, I agree with you. And when others revert sourced material, they shouldn't stonewall their way through negotiations over it. I've looked into the history of that page and no one answered the first IP's requests for discussion when it first erased in 's edits in October of 2007. I think the way it was handled early on was gross. Two parties just edit-warred their preferred version into existence and whenever anyone tried to restore parts of what was there before that, they were thwarted. Its erasure really does amount to vandalism, but because at Israel-Palestine articles, everyone shies away from addressing the content, it won't be treated that way. Looking at what it is and has been kept out makes clear the POV of those leading that effort. Its totally unbalanced and unfair, in every way. But I'm optimistic now that with extra eyes on the article and with the cool off period, we might begin to make some headway. That is, if people genuinely discuss and add things sentence by sentence, piece by piece to what is there.
