User talk:Eric Rasmussen

Hi, Eric, and welcome to the SourceWatch!

I see that you've made some contributions to the Swift Boat veterans articles and that you deleted a few references which User:Maynard then put back in. There may be cases where there is a good reason to delete existing references. (For example, redundant links to the same article should be deleted.) When deleting something, however, please try to state your reason for doing so on the talk page for the article. This is particularly important on the Swift Boat articles, where we've had people delete information simply because they don't want other people to be able to read it. (For example, someone who evidently supports Bush deleted the entire text of the article and replaced it with an invitation to worship Jesus.) I don't think you're engaged in this sort of vandalism, but it would help avoid misunderstandings and improve communication with other SourceWatch users if you could document reasons for deleting something that someone else has put in. --Sheldon Rampton 17:36, 28 Oct 2004 (EDT)
