I'd like to request that someone revert the section in [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion]] on the VfD listing boilerplate to either version oldid=1817959 or if people feel that all of my changes are controversial and unhelpful (sorry for the oversimplification) to version oldid=1817954, the one before.
The changes made since: 1) removed a version of the boilerplate with which (after the edit made in 1817959) I had little complaint, leaving only one with which I disagree, and 2) changed the official policy to something I am actively in dispute with.
Both changes have been made by people who are in active dispute with me. This is why I am asking for someone else to revert the standing policy until the differences are resolved, rather than simply changing it back and listing my reasons why on the talk page.
Change 1) (oldid=1818182, Daniel Quinlan: new verbose version should always be used) was made by someone who has called for removal of my sysop privs.
Change 2) (oldid=1824137 (Fuzheado: Put into words the convention we have already -- putting VfD notice at the top of articles) was made by someone who was in dispute with me over that very issue at [[Sunset High School]].
