[seqfan] Re: Don't delete a sequence w/o consulting an Ed-in-Chief!

Perhaps the statement in
http://oeis.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning2

"Please note that all contributions to OeisWiki are contributed under
The OEIS Contributor's License Agreement, and may be edited, altered,
or removed by other contributors. If you do not want your writing to
be edited mercilessly, then do not submit it here."

should be reworded ?

Especially the word "mercilessly" in above is not looking "attractive" ...

Dear Seq Fans, The core of the OEIS is a file
with 2 million lines of data that I built up over 46 years.

I've noticed a disturbing trend by some people who
seem to be saying, I don't understand this line,
so I'm going to delete it.

DON'T DO THAT!

Ask me first before deleting anything.
