[edit] Real estate controversies

The "Real estate controversies" section has experienced a series of deletions by an unlogged-in editor at IP address 208.100.196.{193, 218, 229}. He hasn't left any clue as to his objections (he always leaves the edit summary blank) and I can't infer his goals by looking at his other edits since the only edits ever from these IP addresses have been these deletions. The section appears to be adequately sourced, but perhaps the tone of the section is too partisan? I'm quite new at editing Wikipedia, does anyone have any advice? --RP88 02:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and before I forget, to the editor at 208.100.196.{193,218,229}, please join this discussion. --RP88 02:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

My advice is to treat (a) anonymous IP edits which (b) simply delete text (c) without any explanation (any edit summary) and (d) come from an account used only for that deletion, as vandalism.

Having said that, it never hurts to do a quick review of the text for the more obvious problems. I've done so, and removed one phrase. But, in general, you're not required either to be a mind-reader or to extensively research a section just because one person (presumably very partisan) wants to suppress part of an article. There are a lot better uses of your time. John Broughton | Talk 03:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks John, I appreciate the advice. --RP88 08:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
