deleted response to comments on wikipedia talk Wikiproject Ships Please be aware that deleting comments made by other users is frowned upon on wikipedia In this particular case the discussion was started by user Brad who made a personal comment about me Now I do nt mind this I was more curious than offended but the comment clearly ridicules the debate which I started on Wikipedia talk Naming conventions ships You claimed that my post which you deleted was a POV inserted into a neutral notice It may have been a POV about the desireability of starting any major change sooner rather than later but this was in response to another comment suggesting that the proposed change would produce lots of work and thus the implicit POV that it was undesireable It was no more than a response in kind to the previous posting If you are going to start censoring postings then I would suggest you do so impartially You did not censor the response in a way which restored the original section to a short notice but merely removed one comment Rather than restoring impartiality this might be seen as biasing the tone of the debate Far better that you do not delete anyones comments I would suggest reading Wikipedia No personal attacks I m not sure what deleting others posts comes under try Wikipedia Etiquette
