NHS dentistry
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed your deletions from NHS dentistry. Do you intend to write about the availability of NHS dentistry or just remove content? I understand the content is quite negative but it is supported by reliable sources, and is not limited to 2007 it seems. Would like to hear your thoughts?

Hi, thanks. I actually just removed the content rather than replacing it because I thought it detracted from the value and credibility of the article as a whole. I did point out that it wasn't just 2007 but apart from one para on 2019 it did seem very dated. If you think it's better to reinstate the content for want of something better I will defer to your judgement. Cicero1989b (talk) 14:50, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey! The first and final two paragraphs were more recent however. Wikipedia articles must be written with a neutral point of view and I would argue the sentence NHS dentistry has often struggled to even see 55% of the population in a one-year period could be reworded a little. Do you see where I'm going here? I'm going to restore the content but if you've got some spare time maybe you could help make the section better? Alternatively, you're welcome to bring this discussion to the talk page and gain consensus for removing the section. :) -OXYLYPSE (talk) 15:38, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm no expert on this topic but I'll see if I can find some more appropriate info. If I do, is it better to just make the change and let people respond or discuss it first (I don't want to come across like I'm trying to force changes through)? Cicero1989b (talk) 16:09, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Go for it! The idea, at least how I see it, is to create a balanced point of view. Obviously there is criticism of the availability of the NHS but I'm sure there's some good stuff too! People will often let you know pretty soon if they disagree haha. Thanks for being so understanding, I'll send you over a plate of cookies! :) -OXYLYPSE (talk) 23:12, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
