OK, but what about information which I have no idea whether it is true or false, such as the paragraph I removed?
{{fact}}
Is this your personal opinion, or policy? Because I swear I've read emails from a certain prominent Wikipedian suggesting otherwise (I'll look up the email first, then name him). And I should point out this *is* a biography of a living person we're talking about.
There is nothing even remotely potentially libelous about the statement that Hofstadter, who writes about artificial intelligence, had influence in computing.
First of all, that wasn't what the statement that I removed said.
Secondly, so what? Are you seriously suggesting that we should only remove libelous statements? Was the statement about blackboards being considered by some to be politically incorrect a libelous statement?
It's not something that should be deleted wholesale except to disruptively prove a point.
Which is something you of all people should know better than to do.
Look, get the facts straight about what the hell you're talking about first. Then come back and try again.
