The Edit Summary given by Hipal when reverting my latest update to the Jeffery_Sachs article said: "Undid revision 1208939216 by Nick Nitpicker (talk) SOAP". I was surprised at that because I wasn't attempting my update to be a soapbox or to advocate anything. I simply intended to make the article more neutral and balanced by including Sachs' reply to the points made by Garry, since both of them made those points in their letters to PNAS. Since the article is about Sachs, I would think that his points would be at least as relevant (if not more so) as Garry's points.
Are you saying that Hipal reverted my update due to copyright concerns (and not SOAP)? Nick Nitpicker (talk) 00:41, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No I am not saying that. Please see my talk page for my reply. — Diannaa (talk) 01:16, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
