Reverted

I protest. After making extensive edits to flesh out this page, including adding links to the World Bank Blog and a legitimate Facebook group organized after Futarchy was named in the New York Times, the wikipedia bot undid all my work, not just the FB link. This is excessive and discourages me from trying to update this page again. The bot is overly aggressive. I won't be contributng to wikipedia in the future if an hour of work can be completely erased for no good reason without appeal or explanation.

The bots aren't smart enough to cut out only the facebook link. Parsing MediaWiki markup is fiendishly difficult; much easier to just revert.

As for an hour of work... you added 2 links and a sentence pointing out the obvious fact that it could be elected officials who implement the policies. Which is, I think, implied by the lead already.

As for the 'legitimate Facebook group' - don't care. WP:EL isn't a bad guide for this sort of thing, and it doesn't offer any more hope for a Facebook group than for a Myspace homepage for a band named Futarchy... --Gwern (contribs) 16:40 20 February 2009 (GMT)

reversion, again (not same guy as above)

HEya, I added a link to the futarchy_discuss yahoo group http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/futarchy_discuss/ , which XLinkBot helpfully deleted. Although it's a Yahoo group, it seems to be the most well fleshed out publically-accessible source of information about futarchy I've found. Also, the message archive is at least publically accessible without registration. Possibly the futarchy discussion here is original research, but I'm not actually putting its text into the article itself.

Can anyone help decide this issue?

*shrug* nobody seems interested, so I just undid XLinkBot's edit. 124.107.146.23 (talk) 06:15, 1 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

David Gerard (rightfully) removed some ELs. Some look generally unusable, but others might be able to be carefully re-introduced to this page. For that reason, here they are for future reference:
