Antonio Villaraigosa

I saw your edit[1] deleting text and a reference to an article in The Nation. According to your edit summary, you deleted this because, as a non-subscriber, you could not access the text of the article[2] online. However, according to Wikipedia's rules on identifying reliable sources, "It is useful but by no means necessary for the archived copy [of the source] to be accessible via the internet." The material in question is non-negative and does not appear to me to raise any sort of red flag that would warrant doubting the good faith of the editor who added the reference. Did you have any other reason to doubt the validity of this text in the article? If not, I don't think this was a correct application of WP:RS, even in a biography of a living person, and I'd suggest that you revert your deletion. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:38, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

okay I figure d out how to do go back. but it was frustrating to not bea able to check the facts. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable it says. I couldn't verify.
