Stephen Mansfield
I'm sorry. I'm really not trying to be offensive. I have read the basics of wikipedia editing, but I guess I must be missing something. You seem to be very experienced at this, so maybe you can help me. What do I do if the person who this article is about, Mr. Mansfield, simply does not want all of his career history and religious affiliations to included in his links, not does he want to include an exhaustive list of his books because it would become outdated to quickly? Is there a way to just simplify/rewrite his biography, and not include a section on his career or his publications? Any help you could offer would be much appreciated.

That's great that you want to remove outdated or incorrect information and I encourage you to do so, however, when you completely remove the entire content, you're also removing categories and other information that all pages need. If you want to remove information, I suggest you go through the content and delete what you don't want instead of doing a mass deletion of content with no explanation. I'm reverting the page again and this time, please go through and remove what you feel should be removed along with an appropriate edit summary. Thank you. Pinkadelica 04:53, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
