From what I can tell, someone in January 2011 has made lots of changes. These are the changes since 4 December 2010: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nebra_sky_disk&diff=413679667&oldid=400465808 Some of the removal edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nebra_sky_disk&diff=prev&oldid=410561429 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nebra_sky_disk&diff=410525404&oldid=409950734 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nebra_sky_disk&diff=411978495&oldid=411480834 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nebra_sky_disk&diff=413984194&oldid=413679667 Essentially, the article is a mess, so I gave up and went elsewhere to look for information on this object. And back on Wikipedia, I've asked some other editors to have a look at the article. I'm tempted to ask whether the "system" worked here or not. I understand that there is always a chance that you come across an article in a poor state during editing, but quite why there wasn't a proper reaction here, I don't know.
