Your reversions to Nationwide Festival of Light
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although we invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, at least one of your recent edits was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

You reverted a great deal of careful editing to Nationwide Festival of Light to return it to your previous version, without so much as giving a reason or starting a discussion. Let's go over what you changed, and why I have reverted your changes.


 * 1) Its voice went unheeded, and a generation later we are living with the consequences. cannot stand in this encyclopedia. It is inherently a point-of-view statement.
 * 2) This edit, which you attempted to undo, removed smart quotes and excessive bold and added links. There was no reason I can see to revert these changes, and again, you failed to provide one.
 * 3) Here you remove a comment suggesting further work, again without giving any reason.
 * 4) Perhaps most seriously, here you remove the tag that one editor had added stating that the article needs to be checked for point-of-view, without giving any reason or attempting to ensure the neutrality of the article.

I recommend you do not attempt to destroy anyone's work further. Nobody on Wikipedia, including you, owns any page. I think the article, which undoubtedly documents an important event, needs a great deal of further work to remove its bias; this cannot happen if you will not let others work on it. Discuss major changes on the article's talk page first in future. Marnanel 11:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
