Edits by GnudiRicotta

[edit]

The article is fully sourced, primarily to a biographical section on Miles in Walther's The Fireeaters. Despite the sourcing, GnudiRicotta made a series of unsourced changes that either conflict with the article's existing sourcing or eliminate properly sourced material. Examples include the change from Willington Academy to Wellington School, elimination of his Huguenot heritage, change from born in to born near Waterboro, elimination of his political non-involvement through the 1840s, elimination of his association of slavery and secession in the article lead,and elimination of details from his term as mayor.

I have reverted these changes and suggest that GnudiRicotta discuss future changes here first, preferably after reviewing the Walther book which, as far as I can tell, is the most complete academic summary of Miles' life. Tom (North Shoreman) (talk) 14:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had to revert again and left a message at the user's talk page. Tom (North Shoreman) (talk) 13:47, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
