Conflict on film context

I created this page in 2010 I am content to listen to reasoned and proper debate on the (proper) inclusion of a section on Hurst's significant body of work on the genre of conflict on film on this, his only film made in his Ulster homeland. It is unacceptable to continually revert and delete a section with is properly constructed, accurate and properly sourced. It is disappointing that certain users cannot suggest with precision what should be amended and why or how the section could be developed and instead they feel it appropriate to just repeatedly delete a whole section based on their whim/opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quartertoten (talk • contribs) 23:09, 6 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

An appeal to some users of this page, please. I have been editing pages for 10 years and have never encountered this sort approach that some users employ to suppress information that is important context on an entry. Unfortunately a small number of users over a number months have suddenly entered this page and deleted a large section opinionated commentary and/or vague assertions. Some additional source material has been added by me in the hope that this recurring deletion will stop and I repeatedly urge users to contribute, with precision, any factual errors (which I will review and correct, if appropriate)to the talk pages and allow the section to be developed. The conduct of some users is very sad to see and Hurst deserves better. I suggest that the act of deleting a large section on a wiki page without any substantive comment or without first using the talk pages (as I repeatedly urge) is effectively vandalism as it goes against the spirit of wiki. The section is relevant, factual, sourced and vital to the context of this film as it was the only film Hurst made on his homeland of Ulster and should remain and evolve via discussion on the talk pages and the recurring deletion should stop. I am prepared to devote whatever time and hours is necessary to evolve this section using factually correct information to ensure that the entry on Hurst is correct. Thank you to any users who take the time to read this positioning as I attempt to rebalance the views of some users who have suddenly entered the debate on this page.Quartertoten (talk) 10:40, 7 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
