I don't know why it disappeared entirely (if it did; you have a reputation to uphold), but "mysteriously" disappeared because it's not in the article. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 06:46, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

You should know you removed it. From NYT "A picture caption on Tuesday with an article about mysterious dolphin and seabird deaths in Peru ..." 99.181.140.126 (talk) 17:38, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I should have removed it, but I'm not sure of the criteria for inclusion. However, I only removed "mysteriously", as "mysteriously" is only in a subtitle, not in the text. The text of the NY Times is generally reliable, titles and subtitles are not. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 00:37, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

How confused are you? You did remove it. 99.19.41.218 (talk) 23:06, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

I removed only the word "mysteriously". The rest of the loss is your problem. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 06:23, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

(od) How blind and ham-handed can you be, you deleted the NYT reference. Return it. 108.73.112.162 (talk) 06:56, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
