Oh, I assure you I can disagree. I can disagree with almost anything. I disagree that the burden of proof is on the contributing author. The burden is on those wishing to delete something to achieve a consensus to delete. What level of "evidence" or "proof" will convince a consensus of wikipedians is up to the wikipedians participating. I suspect many people will be satisfied by different things. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
