== Rachel Corrie ==
Mystichumwipe, your revisions http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel_Corrie&diff=509601550&oldid=509601510 replacing "said" with "alleged" seem to be a clear violation of WP:SAID. Can you explain why they are not? Please reply on Talk:Rachel Corrie. --Nbauman (talk) 14:21, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I can't reply there as I have been blocked for 24 hours (in a way that I consider unfair and possibly under a false charge) . Therefore forgive me if I answer here instead.
- To answer your question. I now see that I made a mistake. I thought YOU wanted the word "asserted". I intended and thought I was undoing the replacing of the word "said" (which is neutral), with the unecessary and legal-sounding "asserted". That is why I gave this as a summary of my undo: replaced the one occassion of "alleged" with "asserted". I was agreeing that "alleged" should be rpelaced with a more neutral wording. But I didn't think that the wording "asserted" was better than the wording "said".
- But I now see - to my great surprise - that I did the exact opposite of what I intended. For which you have my apologies.
- (In other words I also prefer said instead of asserted. --Mystichumwipe (talk) 08:45, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
