Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania
You asked my opinion of your work on Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania. My quick reaction is that what you added is mostly good, but your removals are another matter. As it says at Editing policy:

"If, in your considered judgment, a page simply needs to be rewritten or changed substantially, go ahead and do that. But preserve any old contents you think might have some discussion value on the talk page, along with a comment about why you made the change. Even if you delete something that's just plain false, odds are that it got there because someone believed it was true, so preserve a comment to inform later editors that it is in fact false."

As far as I can tell, you ignored that one. I know you are new to this, so no hard feelings, but it is important not to "bury" substantive disagreements. - Jmabel | Talk 06:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
