A deletion from 7/2010
In July of 2010, you deleted a comment I made to "Silesian Uprising", as being non-constructive.
The comment pointed out the fact, that much of the entry was biased to a Polish-reading, and that it was rather clear from the language, that it was from a Polish source.
I asked for a flag to be placed on the article, as ITSELF expressing a POV, not mere facts. AND ALSO, that the introductory box, showing a need for further revision, etc, be placed atop the article.
Why did you not do any of that? My comment was constructive to the point of pointing these errors/possible violations (POV) out.
In that way, it was clearly constructive, and intended to spur a further article build.
You did nothing about the bias evinced in the article, especially its POV nature.
It is amazing how many wiki administrators cite others' comments as POV violations, while actually just displaying their own POV, but using the admin. status to enforce it, as supposedly neutral.
I hope you did not do this. But NOTHING has been fixed. As an administrator, you should recognize the one-sided nature, thus a POV, of this article, and encourage/ ask for others to provide pertinent corrections, by adding the entry-box common on wikipedia.
It is construcitve to point out possible bias, rather than to just let it go.
Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.0.9.130 (talk) 02:03, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Igloo/Browser Compatibility
Not sure if you tested Igloo with Opera or not, as it's not a commonly used browser... But I as far as my use goes, I'm able to load and use igloo just fine in Opera. :) If there's not something else I'm unaware of, then you may want to add it as a compatible browser.
