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.
