So I wonder why wikipedia has that entire section on Bold edit, revert, discuss if some editors just think that edits are great and don't need to be discussed? I mean, if you don't see anything wrong with an edit, personally, why would you want to follow wikipedia guidelines and discuss it with other
1279:
Why not follow the guidelines? A call for consensus, which has not been done here yet, is not a vote of the majority to bypass the guidelines. I'm not a wikipedia historian, but something in my bones tells me that these guidelines were put in place for this very reason, so that one or two editors

I reverted a bulk revision to the article that removed many facets of the subject's career. I believe that each of these edits deserves a discussion on if it should stay or go or needs to be improved. In the spirit of wikipedia's Bold-revert-discuss guideline, I have reverted the bold edits, now

A fascinating and notable operator in fringe areas. I should like to see the original version restored so that the extent of his claims can be assessed. Could somebody give a diff for clarity? There is no issue in the BIO of his ideas being claimed as mainstream.

I mean, the point is that this guy wrote a library about all the different things he thought were wrong with the "mainstream". The current article makes it clear that this is his approach. Lovingly detailing all his claims is obviously
1498: 153: 330: 1493: 1261:
You're right about BRD, although the recent edits and comments indicate a small consensus to move forward it seems; if there's a particular text you would like restored, why not specify? Thanks, —
1183:
editors? And when they complain about it, just throw it back in their face telling them you're not following the guidelines and if they have a problem with that, they can state their reasons why.
1168:... Which will be difficult, because the edits were fine. Merging references, cutting unduly-weighted and poorly-sourced material, trimming a link farm — I can see no problem with any of them. 1523: 487: 402: 1280:
that think their right don't walk all over other editors, that there is a process to be followed and it doesn't change because of how many editors line up on one side of an issue.

do is pay attention to those ideas which have received significant outside notice. All that was removed was stuff that was solely sourced to Van Flandern's own writing.
