Hi there,

I made a small contribution to a page some months back and put the page on my watchlist.

I noticed that there has been a radical overhaul of the page, and I don't really know what to do.

The page is on a living person: Mark Pollock.

The most recent edits are genuinely good faith edits, and display an intimate knowledge of the subject (the recent editor introduces an event called the Run in the Dark, which was not previously referenced and is certainly worthy of inclusion, and also is able to provide a name for the "bionic" robotic legs that a subsequent Google search shows to be correct). So these recent edits are not vandalism or anything like that.

However, the overhaul removes all citations and references and deletes a vast amount of information.

I have heard of a debate on Wiki between "deletionist" and "inclusionist" points of view.

Is this what I am seeing here? Am I merely uncomfortable because I have some inner "inclusionist" tendencies and this editor has a "deletionist" world view?

I'd appreciate any advice.
