Welcome to Wikipedia.

Historical Definition of Race[edit]

First, I'm sorry if not posting in the talk page caused you so much trouble. And upon looking at the talk page for the article again, you didn't post anything in the talk page either.

Second, I use the "Twinkle" javascripts WP:TW, so when I reverted your edit, it reverted the earlier one (extrememe to extreme) also.

Third, just because it's linked to "Insert footnote here," "didn't make any sense, had no sources, was essentially irrelevant" and the text box being stretched across the screen, doesn't give you a right to completely take it out. At the very least you could have put SOMETHING in the edit summary explaining what you were doing. And before taking it out, you could have tried to find a source, make it relevant, or fix any technical problems with it.

If you still feel that you don't want the paragraph there, then go ahead, delete it; just know that you are not being very constructive Df747jet (talk) 03:35, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
