Vincint,
It is established policy to divide any article over
30kb since some browsers
won't edit pages over that length. This is a settled
issue.

Editor and edit war
Me too :-)
I made some of the changes about which I talked
about
Consisting in major part of dividing the 48 kb
page
into two new pages.
Vincent has restored everything, declared an edit
war,
and ask for the page to be protected.
Ownership you said ?
:-)

I feel like choking Fred....
After several reversion (I should mention that I made
a couple of light (non controversial) edits to the
resulting articles (headings, better titles, links and
such), so I would not really appreciate that my
changes are removed just because we disagree on the
division of the page.
The last comment put in the comment box by Vincent
while reverting was
----- his comment
Dernier avertissement. Ensuite, je serais d�sol� de le
faire, mais apposerai mon copyright sur cette page
(les documents m'attribuant la paternit� de son
contenu �tant � c�t� de moi).
----which means
Last warning. Next time, I will be sorry to do it, but
I will add my copyright on this page (the documents I
have just next to me attribute me the paternity of its
content)
