Tom Dorsch Wikipedia Controversy

Within the last two days, my biography of Dorsch has been

Sometimes less is more.
The two people making deletions do not appear to be chess players and
are not a member of this group.
On what do you base your pointless guessing? Well, I am the one who did
the first changes - and yes, actually I am a chess player, but this does
not matter anyway, as your article about Mr. Dorsch has only slightly to
do with chess. The other person is indeed no chess player, she's an
administrator which get involved after I sent a mail to Wikipedia about
your article. I was really surprised how fast these people react! And I
admire her patience.
One is a woman who seems to have been
involved in several other editing wars.
Yes, I suppose this happens quite often if you are an administrator of
Wikipedia. It's more or less part of the job.
Greetings,
Ralf
PS: Regarding your conversation in Wikipedia with the administrator: Tom
Dorsch is _not_, I repeat: _not_ one of the most famous chess players in
the world. Do you really think, that people outside the US chess
politics scene or this newsgroups have only the faintest idea who this
man is, or would be interested in any way? Stating, that more people
know him than Topalov is so silly, that it is almost amazing.
