[edit] Patricia Aldridge

Hello Stifle,

You deleted my page on Patricia Aldridge for the reason "A6 speedy deletion - article created only to disparage its subject."

That page was written with Aldridge's help and approval, and there was nothing disparaging about it. In fact, I was careful to be neutral in order to avoid putting too positive a spin on the bio. My goal was to create a fair and balanced account of Aldridge's interesting life. Furthermore, the content was verifiable and careful references were given (they required further documentation, but the article was clearly labeled a stub).

It was a lot of work, and it was intended to be a careful, accurate and respectful record (although not yet complete) of a qwirky Toronto character. If you think it was created to disparage the subject, then you need to open up your mind to alternative lifetyles.

Apparently, your straight, theist sensibility has interpreted a truthful record of historical events as disparaging. You are wrong, and you should not have deleted this important work about a part of Toronto's queer history.

If you want to confirm this, write to Aldridge herself at info@wildside.org.

Please undelete this article.

[edit] First Same-Sex Couple in Canadian History

I just got off the phone with Aldridge herself, who is outraged that you would delete information about the first same-sex couple in Canadian history.

This is a matter of historical record.
