I mean, you did remove things that seemed valid. Like The Scrappy, which may have needed rewrites, but shouldn't have been outright removed unless it was incorrect.

Surprisingly, I dug around on TikTok (don't ask) and found enough fans to contradict The Scrappy entry. If it's valid, then I can't do anything; it's their reactions (edit warring and being aggressive about their opinions) that made me turn to the ATT.

On a technicality, restoring entries that were deleted with no edit reason isn't an edit war (according to the policy page itself). The aggression in messages is likely an issue, but people can't read your mind to know why you think certain things needed to be removed if you didn't explain it to anyone.

And their aggressive responses?

I wouldn't know what the responses were, but I already said they're "likely an issue". I just don't know what more I can say about that since I obviously can't just read your messages.

A bump because they re-added an entry I deleted even though it has a lot of problems.

No idea what the audience's opinions are, but "I dug around and found some supporters" makes me doubt the validity of the fans-don't-like-this-character YMMV removal.

Will send Goat a reminder to be civil
