I have extensive background in some of the big feature films shot in the last 10 years and work in the entertainment industry. I am a trained historian. BA accedited at SOAS in the UK.

If i see it happen I am a witness. If I am a witness than I can write it down. If I write what I saw then I am recording history.

I am not sure what I find more disturbing the fact that you not being there means it does not happen or that your sources need to be from famous people. I can easily get Zoe to verify the story but I am sure that would not be enough for you. Not everything can be instantly validated and even though It was not reported because there was only for people involved at the time. Not everything is reported in the News and what might be an interesting anecdote that might be interesting is so policed. By your standards Polybius would never have been acceptable as there would have been no other source to prove it.

You could point to the story not being a proven source rather than just delete it. As it seems there was earlier reverences to its invention this interesting only points to the makers of Star Wars knowledge rather than invention. Further this is not a serious page of true historic value. I do not agree you your rights to delete without regard.
