Removal of mention of Amit Agarwal

edit

This sourced content was removed with this edit.
An Indian blogger, Amit Agarwal, runs the blog tech inspiration at www.labnol.org and maintains indianbloggers.org. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal among other publications for his contributions to the Indian blogging scene.[1]
The cite is a Wall Street Journal blog: blogs.wsj.com[1] The ref is reused in the article. Amit Agarwal has an article on Wiki and is the interviewee on the WSJ ref. Should it be restored to the article? I will ping significant recent editors of this article. Note that there are few recent Indian editors of this article.

It should be replaced, as far as I can tell. In addition to the WSJ ref, there's a BBC News source at the article, which checks out. The removing edit was by a now blocked sock, the latest in a series of socks abusing AFC to promote the name they replaced this with. Maybe they thought it might be less "noticeable" if they "swapped" people instead of adding one - who knows... Begoontalk 04:09, 5 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Actually, I went ahead and restored to "pre sock" edited version, and redid good subsequent edits. Seemed the most sensible thing to do. Begoontalk 18:35, 5 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Wikilinked Amit Agarwal as there is an article. Jim1138 (talk) 21:48, 5 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Ah, yes. So there is, and I forgot that. Well remembered. Begoontalk 00:55, 6 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
