Here, at least the external links section is clean, and the links have been saved here for future use if necessary. -- Importemps, d, March 1 2012 2:18 (UTC)

Corruption section, chapter 2
last removal of a substantial portion from the ″Corruption″ section is arbitrary and needs to be discussed here first. Therefore, I'll be reinstating it in a week or so unless a valid and thorough discussion takes place here. For the time being I have requested protection of the page given the last disruptive editing to the article.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 18:09, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * There are some things removed there that do not appear to be sourced, so please do not reinstate anything unless you are sure that the sources support it. Squinge (talk) 18:14, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Only WP:BLP admits the immediate removal of content that is not properly sourced. Instead of removing here, I'd try to find references for some of the facts that are not supported by sources. Actually, I did that for other portions of the article.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 18:45, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It's nothing to do with BLP - some content has been contested, and it should now not be reinstated unless it is supported by sources. Squinge (talk) 18:48, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Only the last paragraph of the deleted content included no sources.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 18:50, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would appear to be the case. Squinge (talk) 18:56, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

I've reinstated the deleted content and marked the sole unsourced deleted paragraph as needing sources.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 19:11, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
