normally, and especially unacceptable when the original page is
deleted, because of the GFDL requirement that the history of all pages
be kept. If you want the content, you need to post to DRV about the
original page, since there is no possibility that the copy will be
restored.
Um, slow down a little bit.
User A posts some content
Admin B deletes the content, erasing its history
User C reposts the content as a service to user A
Admin D (or B?) redeletes the content, citing the lack of history preservation!
Did user A complain about the lack of history?
I haven't seen the deletion reviews or whatever, but what is so bad
about this content that it has been (speedy? unilaterally?) deleted
like this? Sure, it's probably a bad proposal, but we've seen millions
of those. What's going on here?
