Where is the issue taking place?
1:6 scale modeling (Talk)
Who's involved?
Myself and anonymous editor
What's going on?
Other editor keeps removing the tie-in of dollhousing as a facet to this hobby and appears to want to limit it to the military genre, but the title of the article suggests a broader scope. Also, this editor might be doing so maliciously. These deletions started happening after I removed some non-academic commentary from a link showing a manufacturer. I believe the link was for "Sideshow Collectibles," which I did not remove altogether, just some excessive superlatives on 2006-08-26.
What would you like to change about that?
To stop what appears to be malicious or retaliatory deletions, because I have only added to this article a representation of cross-genre miniaturism and left the military bent intact. I have accepted what appears to be grammatical deletions, even from this editor, but without dialog, there is no way to be sure what the contention is. I have stated some of my rationale on the discussion page.
Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
Yes, by email.
