Exactly. There was a page for the Jacobin founder that was missing a controversy over what he said about the Tsar’s children, but my edit that added it in was ultimately removed – and I totally understand why. I remember when it happened at the time, but when I looked for actual proof and sources, the only things I could find were very weak. The tweets had been deleted and only one had been dubiously archived.
Long story short, I had no evidence to back it up, even though I know I saw it. And that’s just how the cookie crumbles. If there isn’t a good source, even for something that did happen, it isn’t admissible. I can’t expect someone to take me at my word only, and I respect that Wikipedia doesn’t let that fly.
