re: Terry Kath
Kind sir, I understand and empathize. However, you are somewhat mistaken about "Wikipedia logic" as you put it. Wikipedia operates on consensus, meaning that if two or more parties disagree about a non-policy matter (which this is), those parties must work it out and decide what is best for the article.

There is no policy stating that sourced material "must" stay in an article - the community must decide what is appropriate and what is not. It's quite possible that the editors at Karen Carpenter might arrive at a different conclusion from the editors at Cass Elliot or Terry Kath.

In the case of Kath, I asked that the matter be discussed at Talk:Terry Kath rather than just reverting each other. So far, you have not weighed in on the matter other than in edit summaries and now on my Talk page. One editor has posted their opinion and it is to keep the material.

I don't have a problem with your being here as a Kath fan. I do have a problem with your stated intention to disrupt other articles to prove a point. I suggest you not do that. I also suggest that you visit Talk:Terry Kath and explain your position. Thanks --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk  21:35, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It was not a threat, it was a suggestion. You should know the difference between adding content to an article in good faith and adding the same content to another article just to make a point.  At any rate, I've said all there is to be said on the matter.  Go to the article talk page and explain your position.  If the consensus is to remove the passage, remove it.  That is how things are done around here.  Good day. --Spike Wilbury ♫  talk  22:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
