FortressSwan contacted me regarding the situation involving him and his articles. He gave me links to the discussions so that I could read them myself and I have to say: the way you, and David, handled his complaints was not good at all.

From the way the discussion went, Swan claimed that his articles were deleted without warning. You made no effort to deny that claim, which basically indicates to me that you did delete those articles without giving the owner a chance to change his articles. Not only that, but your "official" reasoning, that it didn't follow the Manual of Style, sounds fishy too. If it's a problem of Manual of Style, why delete it? Manuals of style are used to standardize the language used and the setup of the article itself: it has nothing to do with the content of the article, which is what the argument against Swan is suggesting. Not only that, but you fail to tell Swan what part of the Manual of Style he is violating with his articles.

Also, where does it say that an administrator has the authority to delete articles without warning? The last I checked, given it was well over a year ago, the wiki isn't an autocracy.

Please explain to me why you acted the way you did.
