That and being confrontational, aggressive and unwilling to accept criticism... Knowing Uther, I'm sure it really is unsourced nonsense, but having someone we don't know come in and remove big chunks of entries without discussion beforehand isn't much better.

It was I who removed it and yes I did say it was unsourced nonsense because it is indeed unsourced nonsense. I should have used my wiktionary account Black Adam rather than my Wikipedia account (this was an error) admittedly but you'd probably still not recognise me too much (even if I ave been a member since at least 2010, and to the best of my knowledge have only added verifiable and sourced entries) as I mostly don't log in for my edits. Regardless whether I am "known" is besides the point as I am right, and this isn't a private club (although I dare say I would already be a member, albeit one who keeps to the shadows). I'd hardly call removing "===Proper noun=== Ābēodan # a male given name" "removing big chunks" of entries" other than in the technical sense of it being half a small entry; if it isn't true, isn't sourced, fake and unlikely then it doesn't belong on this encyclopedia. It is called a bold edit and as it has exactly zero sources I think it was justified. I admit to being brusk and often surly, but I'm not going to stop calling something what it is just because it may offend someone. They shouldn't have vandalised this site with fictitious rubbish. So in short removing completely unsourced garbage is much better than writing it into entries! Regards, Sigurd Dragon Slayer (talk) 05:20, 22 February 2019 (UTC) aka Black Adam[reply]

P.S. I have just seen that this was RFV failed, a well. I'll leave that anyway just to explain my reasoning. Apologies, this was an error. I have been away due to a death in my family and just saw the notification today.Sigurd Dragon Slayer (talk)
