I understand how Wikis work, Thomas. I did not claim ownership of the article, but I did and do claim ''authorship'' of it, which is a different matter. An ''author'' is entitled to have their writing treated with a certain amount of respect, at a Wiki or anywhere else. Other authors ought not to come along and change things merely on the basis that had they been the author, they would have phrased them differently. As Robert says, on that basis, every editor will have a different preference, and we will never progress the article towards completion, which the objective here at CZ, unlike at WP, where articles stay "in progress" forever.

Actually, Adam, some of Paul's edits were better than your diction; others were not. Be careful never to claim ownership of an article. Another editor should be called in to resolve this matter. -Tom Kelly (Talk) 10:26, 25 February 2007 (CST)
