How about linking to the edit where you removed
it? When someone
paranoid goes in and removes that from the history, well, then we're
screwed, but at least until then someone can figure out what the hell
you're talking about.
Ok, so now we've moved from "I removed the bit where it claimed that
John Smith slept with Mrs Robinson" to "I removed this defamatory
claim - click here to see what it said".
Materially, what's changed?
I'd phrase it as "I removed a possibly defamatory claim because it was
unsourced [link to diff]". What's materially changed is that the
claim is a bit more hidden, and probably more importantly, that the
claim won't show up in a google search (as diff pages are under the
robots exclusion).
It's also just cleaner and easier (IMO). Why copy/paste the claim
when you can just link to it?
