Agreed to the Fenris excisions, both counts, for reasons stated. Rectified (talk) 11:28, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

IG mass deletions

Strongly disagree with the most recent removal of my work and by others, on which we spent a lot of time. Seems a too-large part of IG efforts involve removing the work of other contributors.

What to do

I will attempt to restore the deleted text to a newly created fork of the Wikipedia article, that I will start soon. IG was created to allow different versions of the same article to exist. This will allow different viewpoints or editorial biases to be fully expressed. I've done that before and it works relatively well. My own preferred editorial policy with existing articles will continue to be to only add or correct text, not to remove it, except in the most egregious circumstances.

Red writing

What is all this red script on the page? Are there some errors? Petronella (talk)

Luau errors?

This is an attempt to recreate the errors when code from WP is imported to IG:

START TEST:

The six largest language editions are (in order of article count):

Oh I see. Well if that is helpful to others then we had better let it stand. Petronella (talk)
