User talk:Doug Weller: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Line 197:

::Many Wikipedia articles have vast swathes of uncited material. I am sure I would not be allowed to go around Wikipedia deleting every bit of uncited text in sight and then say "Restoring unsourced material is strictly forbidden by policy". Please give me policy link. If it was that simple, why is there not a bot to delete all uncited material automatically. You have not taken the context into consideration.--[[User:Penbat|Penbat]] ([[User talk:Penbat|talk]]) 20:27, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

:::Why aren't you using the article talk page? And it wasn't old unsourced material that was deleted, it was new, and that makes a difference. If you want further discussion use the article talk page so that others can see your concerns.

::::You triggered my response here because you made a response here "@Penbat: and I replied. Restoring unsourced material is strictly forbidden by policy thus it is absolutely correct to remove it." in response to my first paragraph basically telling you that there is a discussion at [[Talk:Squatting_position#Deletions_by_Drmies]]. Incidentally I have no idea what "it wasn't old unsourced material that was deleted, it was new, and that makes a difference." means. It was not new, most of it was years old, but I am not sure what your point is.--[[User:Penbat|Penbat]] ([[User talk:Penbat|talk]]) 21:24, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
