Talk:Green Light (Beyoncé song)

message: I've just had to block IP editor  for repeatedly removing, without discussion on talk pages or explanation in edit summaries, the paragraph about thelondonpaper alleging plagiarism from an Amerie song for this one. Everything in the paragraph is true and verifiable; the citation is there to aid that verification. I realise Knowles has thousands of dedicated fans, but if some of them are wanting to erase from Wikipedia any sourced and verifiable content that casts her in a negative light, I suggest that they familiarise themselves with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view or take their time elsewhere.

replies: text: Good. That editor must be blocked if he/she kept on removing contributed articles without valid reason or without consulting the Talk Page. BritandBeyonce 10:04, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, it's been removed without explanation again, this time by . It might be one thing if it's placing undue weight on the thelondonpaper writer's point-of-view (i.e. if the vast majority of critics said it was very original and/or wasn't similar to the Amerie song); if the people removing it are opting not to explain themselves or comment, though, it just looks like they don't want it in the article only because they don't agree with anything negative being said about Knowles or the song. For the record, I like many of Knowles's singles, including this one. Extraordinary Machine 20:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

text: IP editor , without bothering to discuss the issue here (as requested in a note left in the article) or explain in an edit summary, has removed the paragraph; he/she also blanked the discussion on this page. This is completely unacceptable. Extraordinary Machine 20:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Another IP editor, , has removed it, blanking most of the article in the process. Unfortunately, again not a word in the edit summary or on the talk page. Extraordinary Machine 00:06, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
