Thanks for the suggestion I slept it over and hope that you are feeling more up to answering my questions about the edit in question Specificaly has the community not gotten smaller was it not caused by the automobile have I not sourced the statement as asked is it not a fact is it not information does it not help inform people as to why foresters falls is not as large as it seemingly once was is it not the only peice of information in the article that bridges the span of time between 1870 and present is the usfullness of the edit the only criteria used to determine if it will be reverted or not All that I m asking is for you to explain why it is better to not have the statement than to have it As far as I knew wikipedia is intended to contain the sum of all human knowledge As someone who lives near Foresters Falls I find that this information answers a pertinant question left open by the article Why is foresters falls so small if it once had lumber mills and such I know that you said you don t want to continue this dialogue but I hope that you can understand that my frustration comes from the fact that you have so far not explained yourself from my point of view it seems that you made the edit on a whim and refuse to acknowledge the possibility that it may have been a bit unwarranted I found the information in a book on local history I have listed the book as a source as asked What additional criteria need to be met please tell me If I were to refrase the sentance Would that be better In fact if you could tell me what criteria was used to determine that it should be removed that would be fine Because I m sure that this sentance is no worse certainly not because it doesn t detract from the page in the first place than any other statement on any other page Why insist on the removal of this perfectly sensible statement Just because Please answer this letter Please do not throw another stock statement at me Please do not respond to one statement I made in this letter and ignore any points you don t care to address I would like you to meet me point for point and justify your actions Please don t block me for daring to question administrators Please don t interpret anything I have said here as a personal attack and ignore my entire post in favour of telling me not to post personal attacks Please don t treat me like an ant under your feet who deserves no recognition I will be in contact
