RC Wikipedia Articles

Post by WebSteve »

Once a year I check up on several Wikipedia RC articles to see if they are on track, defaced, or whatever. I went to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_RC10 and found the page completely deleted! I wonder what happened to it. It was a history of the car. There is no undo or revert button to bring it back. It was deleted by MelanieN in August 2015.

Other Wikipedia links of AE interest:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Associated
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Lett
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_RC18T
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_car

Are there any other AE-related Wikipedia pages of interest you know of and want to point out?

Here's the page on Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20141229223947/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_RC10
Looks to have been archived on Dec. 29, 2014.
Can you use that information to rebuild the page?

Probably not. Just thought I'd put it out there just in case, and for those whom haven't seen it.

According to the deletion log, she deleted it on the 6th of August, then someone restored it on the 14th and then she deleted it again the same day. She must drive a Losi.

I found this. Looks like it was copied here before being deleted.

From what I could tell, her rationale is that the RC10 is not notable as stated in the link. :shock:

I wish she should kept her own opinion to herself and leave RC10 alone. Too much history information about RC10 there that she want's it gone. Just like marcos.j, a happy thread deleting moderator of rctech.

Page about the rc12 is fine.. (and tiny) but the rc10 one is no good.. *rolls eyes*

I feel someone is imposing their own values instead of respecting other peoples values..
Losi - Jrx2, Pro, Jr2, Pro SE, JrxT, JrT, LXT, NXT, XXKE, XXTG+
Mini - T, LST, LST2, Crawler
Micro - Trekker, SCT, T
Crawlers - Trx4 Defender, Bootleg Bruiser Shelf Queen
-Bashers under contruction- Jrx2

I don't see it...was it deleted, or am I just blind?
