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?
I don't say this to you often, Anthony, but: good show. I think you've hit the nail firmly on the head there.
Why *not* just explain what you've done and link to a diff? Easier for you, safer for us, for considerate for them.
