could you give some guidance hope all is well ed i need some guidance on some articles that i have written that are going through the editorial meat grinder courtesy of buckshot and graemeleggett exercise grand slam exercise longstep operation deep water operation strikeback okay i am fine with the re branding of the first two articles listed above however the wholesale elimination of background information particularly the strategic overview removes the historic context for these military exercises finally i think it is bad policy and disrespectful for these editors to make such sweeping changes to articles that i created and would not exist except through my efforts without first consulting me and discussing these changes this is contrary to what wikipedia is suppose to be and not consistent to a spirit of collaboration sorry i am tossing this to you but you have always been reasonable and fair minded as well as being an early sponsor for operation strikeback
