Thank you for your concern. Blanking large chunks of articles, especially controversial ones like that, is often viewed as Vandalism. If you have a legitimate dispute with the text, the proper way to go about things is to raise that on the talk page, Talk:Budapest, and give your reasons. It is precisely neutrality that we are trying to preserve. Please read WP:NPOV. You should also try to leave edit summaries. Dmcdevit·t 03:26, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have read and responded to your comments at talk:Budapest. You should realize that while NPOV is nonnegotiable, NPOV is not the same as noncontroversial. You might want to read the appropriate policy pages again.

The info about the holocaust is relevant to budapest's demographic history, and is not going anywhere. If you feel this makes the article biased, feel free to add other information, but you will not be able to remove this relevant info. Dsol 11:15, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Bloblaw, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:
