Request Information

 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * A few users are reverting good faith edits to the PlayMania page. The page is very long-winded and full of fancruft and I attempted to make the page more concise.


 * Who's involved?
 * Myself, Chad1m and TRAiNER4


 * What's going on?
 * I removed a few parts of the page that I felt were crufty and unecessary to the page. I explained my edits well and it was in good faith. However, said users reverted my edits and considered them to be vandalism.  They had also put a section in the talk page of PlayMania that threatens me ("you don't want to endure the same fate as 67.162.86.200 did") and calls me a vandal.  This is a clear violation of WP:OWN and WP:AGF.  I was trying to improve the article and make it an example that WP is not an indiscriminate source of information.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * I would like them to apologize for the words toward me and understand that some details just aren't needed for an encyclopedic entry for a late-night show on a minor cable network. I'm just trying to help the article, not sabotage it.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * Whatever works best is fine by me. I can give my e-mail upon request.
