": Adam  I also think this is the wrong way to add this information. For a start, it's giving far too much prominence to what is a minor historical detail relative to the topic. It is good to discuss things like this, if not beforehand, then certainly when challenged. Just saying, ""I'm not sure I see what there is to discuss. I am adding useful information to articles. If you remove it for no good reason, I will restore it."" is not sufficient, nor helpful, and is somewhat aggressive. I'm sure you would concede that there are better and worse ways of adding useful information to articles.
