Genus:    Priority Inversion
Species:  Pseudo-Consensus Overturning the Big Three (and the Five Pillars)

Case 6.

Article:  Charles Peirce.

Section:  Logic as formal semiotic

Edit:  Revision as of 16:25, 11 June 2006 by Wylie Ali
(-> Logic as formal semiotic - removing two long quotes. See talk)
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charles_Peirce&diff=next&oldid=58049955

Actually, the "new user" Wylie Ali deleted 4 blockquotes and all
of the associated text.  One of the quotes + explanatory text,
added by me, was a quotation from Peirce where he defines in
his own words one the absolutely essential concepts of his
entire philosophy.  The other 3 quotes, added by another
editor, I am less certain of how important they are.
But the point is that the wholesale deletion of 2/3
of a section, all of it sourced, and some of it
of surpassing relevance to the whole article,
with no prior discussion, just plain goes
against the spirit of collaboration that
is supposed to be the hallmark of WP,
not to mention eroding the quality
of the article as to its accurate
representation of its subject.
