The edits in question:
Blanked אַמעריקאַ ("America"; contents were: א [[קאנטינענט]] "A [[continent]]") Replaced contents of ר' זושא פון אניפאלי ("Reh Zusha fun Lyzensky") with "{{delete}}" (Contents were: א ברודער פון [[ר' אלימלך פון ליזענסק]] "A brother of [[Reh Alymlk fun Lyzensky]]") Replaced contents of ר' אלימלך פון ליזענסק ("Reh Alymlk fun Lyzensky") with "{{delete}}" (Contents were: א ברודער פון [[ר' זושא פון אניפאלי]]. "A brother of [[Reh Zusha fun Lyzensky]]") Replaced contents of בריטני ספיערס ("Britney Spears") with "{{delete}}" (Contents were: א פאפולערע זינגערין "A popular singer")
Note, however, that I left untouched contributions by the same user at around the same time of actual value, such as http://yi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A6%D7%A2%D7%98%D7%99%D7%9C_%D7%A7%D7%98%D7%...
When my contributions were reverted by the user who wrote these articles, I did not engage in any sort of revert war.
I discussed these actions with Jamesday prior to Angela's granting Danny sysophood on a Wikipedia for a language he does not know.
When I respectfully (note the respectfully) requested that Danny remove the contents of http://yi.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Node_ue which he posted, he said he would when I apologised to Acheir for replacing those pages with delete messages.
When I told him I'd actually already apologised and am now engaged in discussions with this user, he told me that that was too bad because he had not contacted the user and that, "since i dont intend to" (he), "you are kinda stuck".

I am very sad that I have to report this, but Node is deleting stub articles in the Yiddish wikipedia. This happens to be a language that I can read, so I know what the text says. Yes, they are stubbish, but they are the beginnings of articles, and at least there is some activity. I do not know why Node has decided to delete those articles, as there is no explanation. It doesnt matter if it is a stub about Reb Elimelech of Lizensk or Brittaney Spears (both of which he deleted by the way).
To Node, I am asking you to stop dealing with languages you do not know. Let the smaller language Wikipedias grow naturally, without interference from non-speakers.
