Could you give some guidance? ==
Hope all is well, Ed17.  I need some guidance on some articles that I have written that are going through the editorial meat-grinder courtesy of Buckshot06 and GraemeLeggett.

 Exercise Grand Slam
 Exercise Longstep
 Operation Deep Water
 Operation Strikeback

Okay, I am fine with the re-branding of the first two articles listed above.  However, the wholesale elimination of background information, particularly the strategic overview, removes the historic context for these military exercises.  Finally, I think it is bad policy and disrespectful for these editors to make such sweeping changes to articles that I created, and would not exist except through my efforts, without first consulting me and discussing these changes.  This is contrary to what Wikipedia is suppose to be and not consistent to a spirit of collaboration.  Sorry I am tossing this to you, but you have always been reasonable and fair-minded, as well as being an early sponsor for Operation Strikeback.
